Abstract
Despite the Ivorian government's efforts to combat trafficking, exploitation and child labor, another kind of child labor is expanding in Ivorian capital. These are groups of young and very young delinquent children who have been terrorists in the popular quarts of Abidjan since the day after the post-election crisis of April 2011. With knives and sometimes guns, they attack anyone. Protected by former rebels according to some sources or by the strongmen of the road stations, they engage as much in the traffic of drugs as in the racket of the drivers of collective taxis (Gbaka). The reaction of the authorities is slow to bear fruit and the inhabitants of the neighborhoods are organizing to do justice themselves.

This is the case of Zama Attécoubé who was arrested by the police and released before being killed by the population in April 2015.4 In December 2014, as part of the Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Agency (DDRA) program, a special section for the reintegration of these children was created in the only children's rehabilitation Center in Dabou, 50 kilometers from Abidjan
