The United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy–Johnson faction (ULIMO-J) was a rebel group that was active during the First Liberian Civil War.
Originally part of the United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy (ULIMO), the group split into two factions in 1994: ULIMO-J, an ethnic Krahn faction led by General Roosevelt Johnson and ULIMO-K, which was mainly Mandingo and led by Alhaji G.V. Kromah.[1]
ULIMO-J was poorly ruled, which led to leadership struggles and general discontent among its fighters. It had approximately 8,000 combatants.
Members of both factions committed a number of human rights abuses, including the burning of villages, murder, rape, mutilation, and looting.
