	Grounding George Dweh & Others for War Crimes is the Right Call
		Liberian kids, inspired by this modern day hero probably would’ve wanted to be like George, and try to measure up to the man they believed gave so much for his country.
		However, George Dweh, the relative of the late former President Samuel Kanyon Doe, whose name is synonymous with the Liberian civil war, indiscriminate killings and rape, is a far cry from being a statesman, and is not the man whose shoes anyone would want to walk in at this time.
		Aware of his violent past and refusing to be a real man who would take the blame for his deadly role during the civil war, the unapologetic Dweh failed to grow up, be responsible for his deadly role, and failed to ask for forgiveness for the pain he caused many.

		Indeed, from the point of view of simple morality, not to mention international humanitarian law, the Liberian civil war of 1990–1997 was a horror story pure and simple, a conflict in which the law was ignored and every possible act of brutality was committed.
		The decision of the United States to support the 1980 coup of an obscure Liberian army master sergeant, Samuel K. Doe, and, subsequently, to bolster Doe's corrupt and chaotic dictatorship for the decade that it lasted, led ineluctably to the disaster of the civil war.
		For if the war to overthrow Doe soon became a grotesque story of horror, greed, and atrocity in which every tenet of humanitarian law was broken on a daily basis by all sides, the seeds had been sown in the period of Doe's rule.

	The Buggy Professor -- Daily reflections on politics and economics, unpedantic and free-wheeling, by a political ...
		Then in 1980 a coup and then civil war flared, and to the extent the origins can be sorted out, it pitted the leaders of indigenous peoples against the ruling elite.
		Civil war flared up violently in 1989 again when groups of the ruling elite and some others renewed fighting.
		As we'll see later here, the Bosnian civil war and foreign "peacekeeping" intervention between 1992 and 1995 is an object-lesson of the disaster that lie in store if there are any illusions about the kind of military interventionist forces needed if war is still raging in a country.

	The Black Caucus Taps Only One Familiar Source on Liberia
		Donald Payne, as chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, has worked diligently to keep alive the question of the Liberian civil conflict which was easily squeezed off the front page often by less tragic developments that were said to be more in the national interest of the United States.
		That contention is further based on Payne's belief that President Doe stole the 1985 presidential election, and that therefore the civil conflict is the reaction of the Liberian people to the rigging of the election.
		Liberian voters had put their faith in the much-prescribed electoral process.

		Superintendent Karnwea is yet to explain the link between Nimbaians’ responsibility for the Liberian Civil War and the deaths of Jackson F. Doe and other prominent Nimbaians including General John Flomo, David Dwanyen, David Toweh, Judge Alfred Flomo, Cllr.

		Today, in similar vein, the Scott G. Toweh for President Campaign wants to remind the people of Liberia that Nimba County Superintendent Harrison Karnwea’s statement that Nimbaians were responsible for the Liberian Civil War and the destabilization of the West African Sub-region is a part of a grand scheme by the same conspirators.

	Liberia: Time to take human rights seriously - placing human rights on the national agenda - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Liberian state had disintegrated by 1990, yet it is the oldest republic on the continent, founded in 1822 by freed slaves from the United States of America who later declared a sovereign independent state in 1847.
		The civil war was also sustained by a complex network of alliances formed with, and nurtured, by some of the countries within the West African sub-region.
		The Liberian war therefore engulfed countries in the sub-region with very serious repercussions for human rights when security personnel in some host countries were collaborated with some of the Liberian factions by returning people who were fleeing from persecution.
