On December 16, Swiss regulators modified the following person's listing in the Consolidated List, under the Central African Republic sanctions program – including the notice of his passing:
SSID: 300-27672 Name: Yakete Levy

a) Yakite Levi b)YakiteYakété Levy c) Yakété Levi Address: Nantes, France Nationality:
Central African Republic
Justification: Engaging in or providing support for acts that undermine the peace, stability
or security of CAR: On 17 Dec 2013, Yakete became the political coordinator of the newly
formed People’s Resistance Movement for Reforming of the Central African Republic anti-
Balaka rebel group. He has been directly involved in decisions of a rebel group that has
been involved in acts that have undermined peace, stability and security in the CAR, in
particular on and since 5 Dec 2013. In addition, this group has been explicitly singled out by
resolutions 2127, 2134 and 2149 for such acts. Yakete has been accused of ordering the
arrest of people connected to the Séléka, calling for attacks on people who do not support
President Bozizé, and recruiting young militiamen to attack those hostile to the regime with
machetes. Having remained in the entourage of François Bozizé after March 2013, he joined
the Front for the Return to Constitutional Order in CAR (Front pour le Retour à l’Ordre
Constitutionnel en CentrAfrique — FROCCA), which aimed to return the deposed president
to power by whatever means necessary. In late summer 2013, he travelled to Cameroon and
Benin, where he attempted to recruit people to fight against the Séléka. In September 2013,
he tried to regain control over operations led by pro-Bozizé fighters in towns and villages
near to Bossangoa. Yakete is also suspected of promoting the distribution of machetes to
young unemployed Christians to facilitate their attacks on Muslims. Other information: Son
of Pierre Yakété and JoséphineYamazonYamazon. Reportedly deceased on 15 Nov 2014.
