THE STORY OF LIBERIA!
Welcome to The Vice Guide to Liberia. VBS travels to West Africa to rummage through the messy remains of a country ravaged by 14 years of civil war. Despite the United Nation’s eventual intervention, most of Liberia’s young people continue to live in abject poverty, surrounded by filth, drug addiction, and teenage prostitution. The former child soldiers who were forced into war have been left to fend for themselves, the murderous warlords who once led them in cannibalistic rampages have taken up as so-called community leaders, and new militias are lying in wait for the opportunity to reclaim their country from a government they rightly mistrust. America’s one and only foray into African colonialism is keeping a very uneasy peace indeed. In Part 1, Vice’s own Shane Smith provides a brief history lesson and some essential context for understanding what caused Liberia’s civil war and how things got so bad. Liberia was originally planned and founded as a homeland for former slaves back in 1821. But fast forward a bunch of years and a military coup and you find the First Liberian Civil War in 1989: yet another third-world regime change in which the US-backed opposition, led by Charles Taylor, overthrows a government unfriendly to US interests. Once in power, Taylor’s corrupt, dysfunctional government quickly finds itself under attack by local warlords, leading to the Second Liberian Civil War ten years later. From there things go from bad to total poo.

GBAM!!!

Most of them are in diaspora and will not come home if there is trouble. all they have is mouth and the laptop!

the true nigerians are the ones who will suffer it!

am a changed man after this video

no war

lets us all unite

jason12345:

how come butt unclothed was singing in yoruba

he was in Nigeria after the war as a refugee before moving back to Liberia. I guess he got converted in Nigeria

Exactly what I was telling people that are always screaming for war, You think say war na Mortal Kombat?

Google "Balkan war crimes" and read what happened in EUrope less than 20yrs ago.

War is a terrible thing but when toddlers get on laptops and clamour for war then I can only SMH

since the day i watched that iraqi militant butchering that american captives with knives murmuring allah wakbar , i never and will never clamour 4 war.
Excepts when ezeuche brings his stupidness on show.

I say, if Nigeria wants a civil war. . . .they need to ask the ppl abroad to come home and fight before they declare war.

Watch how many internet warriors go go.

@video So sad they kill innocent babies to drink their blood. . . .sick!

To save Nigeria is in everyone's hand.The save Nigeria group are the volunteers risking their lives and crossing ethnic and religious barriers to make Nigeria a home for all.Let all positive minded Nairalanders join SNG.Through that we can make our voice heard and our nation survive.Let us vote for change in 2011.

No matter what! Nigeria must never resort to war,
see children firing AK47 and professing cannibalism, look at them now hopeless and abandoned
getting ready to cause another calamity when UN leaves!
70% of Liberian women, have been raped
If Nigerian dare go this route, it will be all the major African conflicts rolled into one!
It will be a colossal disaster

It is sickening that i see fellow Africans killing there brothers like that. Should freedom of well being and self-sufficiency be a matter of war? Then the questions is also to be answered, if one is being oppressed and his only way out is war should be take up arms or remain a slave? The same outside people that sponsored the civil war in Nigeria sponsored Charles taylor and his rebel army yet be African continue to kill ourselves while those outside powers willingly hand us the fuel to do so.

That your question is like being between the devil and the sea!
God, i just hate all these useless politicians!

It is foolish to just say, do not canvass war.
In fact, such an attitude could see war foisted on the unwary. We need to ask ourselves the reasons for war and actively negate such reasons.

In simple words, we need to solve our problems or we might be caught unawares; if a man in the North takes up arms, we need to listen to his reasons; if a man in the Niger Delta takes up arms, we need to listen to his reasons. There is usually a deadly underlying reason that can be found with a little investigation; that reason might be a genuine cry out or it might be that the man is being used because desperation or unusual poverty or exploitaion or illiteracy. In any event, there is always an underlying reason that can only be reached by listening and reasoning.
Unforetunately, the qualities of listening, reasoning and deep thinking are not practiced by the average Nigerian. We are still caught up in the command mentality of yesteryears; that singular weakness can bring war on us, even if we wear out our knees in incessant prayer and bore the Heavens with inane wishes.

Lets tackle the issues and stop wishing.

General Butt na.k.ed was singing "Ise oluwa, ko le baje o, ise Oluwa ko le baje o"
Should being a Christian shield such War criminal from prosecution?  
Africa na wa o

He killed over 20,000 and i'm sure he was just being modest

so he or she that takes arms is suffering more than the person that did not take up arms
think

if u go to borno state, this are the thinks u would notice
lack of water
extreme heat
unemployment
no school
poverty
disperse people
our people are been discriminate in the south
etc

but in the so called niger delte
there are schools
there is port harcount as a trading center
it is not has hot and frustrating as the north
there is water every where
etc

so do u think niger delta people are suffering or it is just greed affecting there reasoning

So you yourself can post these gruesome videos and still taunt the death of a fellow african man like that even after seeing the way he died?
