The civil wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone 1989-2003 and 1991-2002 were 10x worse than any american civil war or world wars. They were absolutely brutal. Some details about this forgotten conflict that I used chatgpt to summarize
I will refrain from posting gore and other graphic images and videos here because of the rules but you can find many with a simple google search. Yet despite all this violence, no one gives a fuck about them. UNO turned a blinded eye, United States just passed a mere statement condemning their actions. Evil world we live in.
Long Sleeve, Short Sleeve" Mutilations: In Sierra Leone, child soldiers in the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) were trained to amputate civilians’ limbs. Victims were forced to choose between a "long sleeve" (cut at the wrist) or "short sleeve" (cut at the elbow or shoulder). One former child soldier described how they would then "make the victim eat their own severed flesh"
Cannibalism Under Charles Taylor: Liberian warlord-turned-president Charles Taylor allegedly ordered his troops to consume the flesh of slain enemies as a tactic to instill terror. His forces, including child soldiers, were accused of ritualistic murder and drinking blood to "gain strength"
Pregnant Women Targeted: Child soldiers in Sierra Leone’s Small Boys Unit (SBU) would cut open pregnant women’s wombs to bet on the gender of the fetus, often leaving both mother and child to die
Kidnapping and Familial Betrayal: Children as young as 7 were abducted from villages. To sever ties to their past, rebels forced them to kill their own families. One girl recalled rebels pouring gasoline over her parents and siblings, setting them ablaze, and demanding she watch as they burned alive
Human Mine Detectors: Children were sent ahead of troops to trigger landmines, deemed expendable compared to adult fighters
"Rebel Wives": Girls constituted 30% of Sierra Leone’s child soldiers, often forced into sexual slavery. Commanders took dozens of "wives," raping them daily. Diana Korgbaye, a survivor, recounted being raped "before I knew what those things were" and bearing children from her captors
