Taylor's Patriotic Front, the NPFL, broke a truce of two years by staging an attack on Monrovia, Liberia's main port. What started as a civil war soon became something else, as the seven-nation West African peacekeeping force, Ecomog, joined the fray.

And the Camera is always on the side of the rebels!!! That has a meaning too
well said brother
Thnks be to God i was out of there when the War started
May God have mercy on Maman Liberia 🇱🇷🇺🇸🇨🇮🙏 🙏
The ironic thing is Taylor said he was fighting to end military dictatorships but ended up being one himself and that led to the second civil war which was were more fucked up than this one.
You totally wrong I don’t agree with you. Charles Taylor turned over power peacefully.
As my mama said, "African is as African does."
@@Duwor are you kidding me? There are videos of torture of the previous leader on the internet.
@@blockedinchina6015 But it’s was never Charles Taylor that killed him. You don’t know nothing about Liberians problem. Charles Taylor was never bad as the media made you to see him like. Charles Taylor turned over power peacefully with enough money in the bank for the next government. Tell me if a bad leader an do that.
@@Duwor haha peacefully what? Even Charles Taylor was a militant rebel lol. Of course, "it's not him" bullshit. Do you really think he doesn't know all the batshit going on in the country when he was in power?
Folks all blaming Nigeria. Are Nigerian soldiers the only ones there? Talk of ECOMOG not Nigeria. In fact I see no wrong in what Nigerian soldiers did. They gave us the peace we are enjoying today. Solidly behind my African brothers.
Thank you, brother 🇳🇬🇱🇷
they used them to help killed your people. the same to Sierra Leone.
wyte people supporting tribalism all over. it on again.
Thank you brother you know the truth
Exactly
Even the video says that the rebels were targeting ECOMOG troops
Thank you so much to hear this. Well done to ECOMOG and our African brothers who sacrificed to protect our brothers. Much love from South Africa
I nearly die in this Charles Taylor's raid on Monrovia. Thank God I am a survival this of this unnecessary havoc
Hello friend could you tell me what conditions were like and tale of how you survived?
What happened???
🥺
@@guydutoit61 he died from COVID raid a few months ago.

Rest In Peace Gen Victor Malu it’s sad we couldn’t quench tiny boko haram, The Nigeria military needs galants soldiers like Malu again in the force
Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjh
May God bless Liberia and may this war never occur
Served as a UN peacekeeper with the Irish defense forces there twice in the early 2000s....a beautiful place,bat shit crazy....but beautiful none the less
How were the people, living conditions, and general education? Any cannibalism?
Why do I keep seeing your comment everywhere?
@@theemirofjaffa2266 , HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA
thank God the war is over now... Liberia is getting better
Good luck to the Liberian people
200.000 rounds fired 0 casualties from the look of it

@American Nobody
They all high on either cocaine or heroine!
@American Nobody at least they're not killing each others, only shooting at each others...
I grew up in a place called air field. Gated community with fences everywhere. Our house was in a compound, in the back of the building. Our entire compound would be flooded with bullets in the morning. I mean, flooded! U couldn’t step anywhere jst rockets etc., everywhere like sand on a beach. I would be thinkin, do these guys fire 1,000 bullets in a sec? Like wat is this?! It was unbelievable
Not that I supported any factions of this senseless war, but ECOMOG bombed the Firestone Rubber Plantations because of their financial support to Charles Taylor. In order to stay operational with extremely low-cost labor, Firestone funded Taylor's war at a critical time when he was out of weapon and money for sustaining his advances. Peace was absolutely attainable then, as he had no other choice. But Firestone threw him a life-line of only a few million dollars in return for cheap rubber. And because of that the war lasted another 13 years! AT the cost of many thousands of lives lost.
James Madison no kidding damn! Where'd ya get that info?

@@ochyeng the link has broken audio
Maybe something's wrong at your end. The link works just fine.
@@ochyeng video taken down do you have another link?
Thank God it's all over
I think the cameraman was in more danger of getting shot than any enemy
Charles Taylor says he seeks to destroy the dictatorship in Africa. But he himself was a dictator and probably among the worst.
Abdulai Bah he knows that now what has all that power n ignorance got him nothing at all jus a complete senseless war.
Abdulai Bah exactly. It made no sense to me.
@God son IzEzPr Preach my friend.
@God son IzEzPr this conflict isn't about the west you moron! Stop trying to deflect! Either talk about the matter at hand or shut the fuck up!
@RADAR I love your answer. I so hate when I hear someone blaming other people for their own stupidity. People like him make me wish I was not born in Africa.
This was the worst thing that ever happened to Liberia 🇱🇷 and Liberians because I can remember almost everything, and this was sad for us.
Charles Taylor harmed a friend of mine . Arm amputated off from the shoulder smh
Him personally or his soldiers?
IN THIS VIDEO, I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THE PEACE KEEPING SOLDIER DENIED THE A.F.L' S HELP.
AS LIBERIANS, SAW THAT IF THE AFL COULD NOT FIGHT ALONG SIDE THE PEACE KEEPERS, THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN WORSE. AFL WAS STILL A STRONG FORCE EVEN IN THE WAKE OF INTERNATIONAL PROPAGANDA....BUT THIS WAS A GAME WE AGAINST OUR TINY REPUBLIC....IF THEY COULD PLAY LIBERIA, THEN THEY CAN PLAY ANY NATION.
Yeah. The AFL was stronger than some of the PEACE KEEPING forces but they lost morale because of the regional propaganda. It was just unfortunate. If only the populace had stood by their government, the country wouldn't have been destroyed. People took tribal lines because it wasn't their tribe in power. And those other tribes suffered most.
@@JamesV1966
Exactly, government forces blind repression on Manos and Gios civilians added to rebel repression on Khrans and Mandingos contributed to the extension of the conflict and increase of casualties....Doe initiated ethnic cleansing in Nimba county way before the civil war begins.
@@JamesV1966 , lol , you were probably part of AFL DEATH squad is why you are saying this .
AFL army caused their own downfall , they need reform .
A national army can not turn into a specific TRIBE'S Organization , there where their mistakes came from .
They were well equipped with enough manpower to fight and win , regardless of the different tactics Charles fighters brought , but many of AFL soldiers defected to the rebels and some when in Guinea , Ivory Coast and Sierra Leone .
They don't even know how to use guns...
They're so high on heroin that barely know how to use their own legs.
They spray and pray
The 'green berret' guy has smoked it right b4 me hahaha.
Rebels dressed like they going to a party 😂
They look like an under-funded African militia with tribal roots.
@@vg_grover4828 Are corsets and tophats part of tribal culture?
Circus
This is the worst thing that ever happened to Liberia and Charles Taylor will pay for this.
ECOMOG is far more civilised and organised than any Western-led intervention, they didn't use napalm and they won 🇳🇬🇳🇬
hahahahahaha
5:42 is that an M17 Browning MG I see 👀
Awesome
If pentagon has somthing please give me somm
5:39 that's a m1917 browning belt fed,how on earth did they get them?
Great eye. Lol, how that machine gun got there is really anyone's guess! I unfortunately can't even to begin to provide any answer.
TheWedabest Remember that Liberia fought for the US 1917 Go check it out and Liberia was US allies
Amen and Amen
I remember this war jet plane like yesterday. Wow. When that plane comes you need to hide.
looking like paris and chicago. also berlin soon.
no more war my brother ..😇
How can they tell who is on which side ?
Unfortunately for them, it’s true that they couldn’t always discriminate between friend or foe. Instances of friendly fire were common, although there were a few things that irregulars or rebels could do to identify themselves; such as tying colored bands around their limbs, or having everyone in your group wear a unique article of clothing (or nothing at all like General Butt Naked)
@@vg_grover4828 exactly I watched one video and they shot stabbed kicked one of their own
u ppl show news nobody else does. it can't be easy to go to a place like liberia, amidst such brutality. it's hard to tell who's the good guys, or who's bad guys. seems complicated. thanks
This guy is Sylvester Quelley from Lawalazzu in Lofa county
I saw it too the boy got affected from the torture
Which guy? I was in lawalazu few days back.. Would probably return there to interview him
At 5:40 is that a m1917 water cooled machine gun because The gun was used during WW1
Ohhhhh look, London in ten years.
your mum s gonna love it mate
London has long been in ruins and bones.
If you know his friend close to his mother,then introduce me too!I love english women.
9 years to go
5 years now mate
they dont have mercy even to children and inocents
Their brains work differently
ECOWAS made an important difference despite different problems
So what did Charles Taylor tell these men to have them fighting for him
At the mark of 2:10 - 2:45, I think is the knowledge that anyone needs to focus. Pilfer a nation for outside resources/wealth , then turn around and keep your knee on there back to keep the society from advancing is ugly and evil. One must know that if these African countries can get enough strength, they will get back to the great position they once had. And the powers that be will not fair well if that came to pass!
He said "cannabis fueled determination" lol
The end justified the means. In the end Nigeria led ecomog brought peace to Liberia despite all the odds. Liberia is peaceful and has the first women president in Africa. More than can be said when compared to US interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The African Self help worked
Except that they lost that war and fled the country, allowing Taylor to take over and then fight his own rebels, the wars lasting from '89-'03, and only ending with the end of Taylor. So except for their utter failure, yeah, it was a great success. Ironically, considering your post, it was the Americans that led Nigeria back into the country as the UN took over peace-keeping, and the UN keep the peace to this day.
Baric Dondarion - With all due respect i think you should check your mainstream narrative. Nigeria is a disgrace of a nation and were and still are nothing but lap dogs of the same Western interests that have always pulled Africa apart. ECOMOG intervention prolonged this conflict. Nigeria has no place then or now in playing international police until they fix their own domestic problems.
Shut your stupid Biafran mouth. loser
@@celluskh6009 wow, way to show ignorance of dynamics surrounding the conflict. The rebels were soundly beaten back in 1990 under joshua dogonyaro who is fondly remembered in Liberia. subsequently he was redeployed home reverses occurred under less capable commanders. t is held by some that the conflict was prolonged due to Nigerian internal politics and a need to keep the army occupied. when sani abacha came to power he resolved to end the conflict and brought taylor to the bargaining table by force of arms. thus the first stage ended. for the second stage it is recorded widely on camera that Nigerian forces spearheaded the advance into Liberia and the USMC boys came about a week later. Incidentally shortly after the marines came ashore mortars were fired in monrovia outskirts and the marines withdrew to the ship. Is that one the leadership you are talking about. Subsequently the AFL was rebuilt under a series of Nigerian officers seconded to the AFL and the AFL is nw keeping the peace elsewhere in africa. don't let hatred or pettiness cloud the sacrifices of brave men in your eyes. Many good men from all over west africa died for liberia, don't sully their memory with lies.
@@MegaJohny56 Wow. Just wow. Soundly beaten in 1990? You know that's the year ECOMOG entered the country? In that year the Liberian president visited their base. That's where the rebels took him from, to torture and kill him. The 'peacekeepers' disarmed his men and the rebels collected him from their base. ECOMOG never got out of the capital. The rebels won. They took over the country. Taylor wasn't beaten until the Americans arrived. Then he accepted an invitation from Nigeria to be given a town's worth of mansions for him and his followers to retire to in Nigeria. Talk about lies...
Remember when News where....You know....NEWS!
The Green'Head guy is dennis rodman in disguise.
The weather there seems pretty nice. Maybe I should move there?
the war ended 20 years ago so its rural but peaceful. great weather great beaches
It's pretty cool 😎👌
30C and 90% humidity, nope
The weather is so nice in Liberia. Lots of wind chill which gives it tht tropical feel. Give it a few yrs. Maybe u could help rebuild and move there some days. If Liberia hadnt destroyed herself, u would have loveddddd it there. Lots of foreigners visited Liberia and send their kids during summer vacations
@@MegaLadylove2012 nice weather is a mixwd bag due to human overpopulation. :/
l know 0ne day l will be come big man
just like in Aceh, Indonesia.
1:38, what side do you think that guy was on?
Goverment he’s got a helmet and a uniform
Ini yg namanya berani mati, bukan hanya berani dgn mulut saja tapi takut mati.
Beautiful war. They shoot no person.

Endingnya mereka tidak pernah gentar pada kematian demi membela ideologinya, ini yg perlu di jadikan pelajaran pada siapapun
Well he is talking sence
Wait...this is Liberia? I thought it was Chicago or Detroit...but then I realized that those places have lots more burnt out vehicles around...

Taylor was a gigantic troll.
Nobody aims, only making noise.
Can anyone help me out I seen a documentary about some war torn African country 20 years ago in between 2000 or 2003.
It showed a lot of soldiers round women up whipping them and later they would be executed. There was a child who was accused of being a sniper he was beaten within an inch of his life.they grabbed and threw him into a truck where he later escaped. the camera man talked to him a few weeks later he wasn’t able to talk after the incident but the people minding him explain what happened.
I don’t know if any has ever seen this documentary with that in it but if you do remember please inbox me I’m trying to find this a long time. Cheers
FLYINGSCOPE Cry Freetown is the name of that documentary is on CZcams I believe.

ECOMOG saved Liberia and Sierra Leone.
ECOMOG didn't save anything in Liberia..that's why they were killed and they ran away.
They were looting and doing mischief.
@@jlomaxdavies5103 You are being economical with the truth. ECOMOG saved both countries from complete destruction. They stopped Charles Taylor and Foday Sankoh in their blood letting tracks. They restored democracy to both countries.
