During the Liberian Civil War (1989-1997), 'NPFL' rebels often wore dresses, women's wigs and other bizarre outfits. Cross-dressing was s a military mind game, a tactic that instills fear in their rivals, and meant to confuse the enemy’s bullets by assuming two identities simultaneously

AMA Request: Ex-Child soldier who fought in the second Liberian Civil War (1999- 2003). Or a refugee who escaped during the war.

I just finished watching a vice documentary on it! NSFW!! More info on it via Wiki.

What went on was really messed up and it would bring an interesting perspective how so many view the world.

My main question: How do you cope with the outcome of the war?

What was one of the worse thing you have seen?

How do people react towards you when you tell them your story?

Do you regret anything?

If you could change anything knowing what you know now, what would you change?

I hope you don't find this request stupid!:D Thanks.

How did the Liberian Civil War play out?

Recently there was a post about the US return to Africa movement and there was an answer that focused a lot on Liberia. I found it interesting that there was effectively a black American colony in Africa with what seem like Apartheid policies against natives. I want to learn more.

What was the big reason for the divide between the groups? Was it simply due to wealth? What was the inciting incident to the war? I don't know if this is pushing the 20 year rule, but how was the war resolved? Did the Natives "win"? What happened to the Americo-Liberians?
