I read about that general butt naked

He’d kill babies, Use them as sacrifice and go to war naked

But this guys didn’t make the list ni?

Murtala Mohammed
Adekunle Benjamin


I never knew the major tribes in Burundi are Hutu and Tutsi

Murtala and "Black Scorpion" are not warlords.

They were purely military commanders.


Here is a definition of the word/term warlord. Do the likes of Murtala and Black Scorpion fit into it? I leave it to you to draw your conclusion. The emphasis should be on the last two words in that definition "individual autonomy" :


warlord
/ˈwɔːlɔːd/
noun
a military commander, especially an aggressive regional commander with individual autonomy.

"the mountains were commanded by ferocious and imposing warlords"

Why listing Christians among them?












Christians dont know how to kill people because we don't have brains



Our brains have long been taken away from us by our Pastors

Foday Sankoh-Revolutionary United Front(RUF) of Sierra Leone.
Jonas Savimbi-United Nationalists for Total Independence of Angola.
Chai! I don old o,I remembered during my secondary school days,whenever I tuned in to BBC Focus on Africa, it sure bet they will carry news pertaining to civil wars in Africa, from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, Mozambique, DR Congo to Central African Republic,no cheerful news at all, na only tales of blood.
Thank God,things are getting better now,at least we are moving away from news of war to proper governance, though we are not there yet,but we are making progress.


i guess you are in your early 40s abeg 40s in nigeria are still leaders of tomorrow

BBC Focus on Africa short wave radios

your list is incomplete without idi Amin undecided

Idi Amin was not a warlord.

He was just a military dictator.

There is a huge diff between both terminologies.

The list is not complete without Mobutu Sese Seko Koku Ngbedu Wasa Banga otherwise known as Joseph Mobutu. Who killed thousands of primary school students because they didn't buy the school uniform from his wife.

Where's Idi Amin?

13ShadesOfMay:
3. Joseph Kony

Joseph Kony formed a group called Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda. He was accused for being responsible for recruiting child soldiers with at least 60,000 children abducted.

Accordinng to the reports, his military campaign led to killing of 1000 people per week. As a result, he was accused of ethnic cleansing and war against humanity in Uganda.
...
Hypocrites at work, instead of them to call him a Christain Terrorist, they are sugar coating it.

panafrican:
1. Sam Bockarie from Sierra Leone due to the appalling atrocities he was guilty of during the war in Sierra Leone, and later in 2002- 2005 as a mercenary hired by Allassane Ouattara' s rebel group in Cote d' Ivoire. Ouattara is now president .


2. Prince Y. Johnson of Liberia

3. Soro Guillaume and the so called
" Commandant Lath " . The former is the leader of the Ivorian rebel group.,that brought Ouattara to power. the latter was one of the rebel military commander . They killed thousands of men, women and children,burning alive people in villages

4. Jonas Savimbi of Angola. This CiA puppet killed hundred if thousands of people during the cold war.

5. King Leopold of Belgium , he can be seen as an African due to his actions in Congo - Leopoldville
,former Zaire.

6. All Libyan rebel leaders who fought against Gaddafi's regime.

7. The Sudanese army commanders who served in Darfur.




Bockarie and Leopold were not warlords.

Bockarie was a lieutenant to a warlord. Sankoh in this case.

Re: 5 Most Brutal And Ruthless Warlords In Africa (Pics) by Segeshow: 10:00pm On Feb 18, 2020
Field Marshall Alhajji Dr,Idi Amin Dada, Conqueror of the British Empire, Lord over birds and beast. All the others were learners under him. They made movies about this monsters butchery. I remember watching Amin movies as a kid and i began to question religion. Why would a just God allow such evil pervade? Strike this devil dead, instead he dies in peace in exile in Saudi Arabia. Someone who should be blood eagled like a viking whose sins were too much. But it all ties up in the letters TIA, this is Africa! God doesn't really care about Africa.
