The Liberian Civil War was a conflict that killed over 250,000 people and eventually led to the involvement of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and of the United Nations. The civil war, which was one of Africa's bloodiest, claimed the lives of more than 250,000 Liberians and further displaced a million others into refugee camps in neighboring countries.
Entire villages were emptied as people fled. as fighters, on all sides of the conflict under the commands of their superiors, committed atrocities, raping and murdering people of all ages.
The civil war claimed the lives of one out of every 17 people in the country, uprooted most of the rest, and destroyed a once-viable economic infrastructure. Putting an end to the culture of impunity will set a new agenda for the Country's future.
It's time to give justice to the families of those murdered in the war by holding the perpetrators accountable through the Due process.
Fellow Liberians, this is a passionate and just call for all of us to stand up and demand justice for the over 250,000 Liberians who lost their lives in the senseless civil war.
Many, if not all of us, witnessed first hand the murders, rapes, amputation and the destruction of properties carried by the various warring factions in the Liberian civil war.
The best we can do is to put an end to the culture of impunity which is the recipe for building a prosperous and peaceful Liberia. Make your call here!
