Chapter 543 Sierra Leone Civil War

The Sierra Leone Civil War began in 1991 and ended in 2002. It lasted for 11 years. The war caused 200,000 deaths and more than 2 million people were displaced. Since the Civil War, the country has not yet recovered.

Sierra Leone gained independence from British colonial rule in 1961, and implemented not democracy or republic, but military dictatorship. The president controlled the military and political power. Like many African countries after independence, Sierra Leone did not embark on the road to prosperity and strength after independence, but instead had political instability and constant turmoil, the country was poor and weak, and corruption became a trend. Although there were rich diamond resources and other resources, money was concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the gap between the rich and the poor was severe, and the people could not eat enough, and complained. In this context, a man with military experience named Fodi Sanko raised his arms under the banner of "opposing dictatorship" and "democratic reform", and many people rebelled with him, and regarded themselves as the "Revolutionary United Front" to revolutionize the government.

Fodi Sanco deceived the Sierra Leonean people and the world. He was not a revolutionary who thought about the country, but an executioner who did whatever he wanted for his personal interests. He was a wolf in sheep's clothing, bloodthirsty, fierce and cruel. In his hands, the Revolutionary United Front became the most brutal force in the world. Although he verbally claimed to represent the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people, he did not let him go, burn, kill, loot, and raped women. He did everything he could.

Fodi Sanko's crimes and the crimes of the Revolutionary United Front were tragic and endless. According to incomplete statistics, about 4,500 to 10,000 children under the age of 16 were forced to go to the front line by the RUF insurgents. In order to control children for their own use, Sanko invented an inhuman method, cut the children's temples, stuffed them into cocaine, force children to shoot their parents, or spoil their mothers, sister

Sisters, as well as various brainwashing propaganda, etc. The persecuted children had no way out and had no home to go back, and eventually had to serve the RUF and became their accomplices. Once, the RUF's Boy Scouts played the role of the main force on the battlefield and committed heinous crimes. One of the most outrageous ones was the "Hand Claw Team" established with the Boy Scouts as the main force. The "Hand Claw Team" specialized in cutting the arms of the civilians who supported the government, and 4,000 to 6,000 civilians suffered in their hands.

Although the Revolutionary United Front is a second-rate army, it is not vague when fighting the war, just like the ISBS that emerged in the Middle East later, siege cities and villages, almost invincible, and the government forces have almost no power to resist. Of course, this does not mean that the Revolutionary United Front has strong military strength, but that the government troops in Sierra Leone have been lazy for a long time and suddenly fought the war without forming combat power in a short period of time.

War is very expensive, and it costs money to send money to reissue, and weapons purchases also cost money. For money and to purchase weapons, Fordi Sanco adopted the method of "fighting to fight" and used rough means to plunder the local wealth every time he captured a town. Sierra Leone was very poor, and the people didn't have much oil and water to make. Compared with the money he plundered from the people, Fordi Sanco valued more the wealth that diamond resources could bring to him.

Before the Civil War, the diamond resources in Sierra Leone were firmly in the hands of the government. A few years after the Civil War broke out, the diamond resources changed hands. Almost all major diamond mining areas were controlled by Fodi Sanko's Revolutionary United Front. Fodi Sanko forced thousands of people to mine diamonds for him, and then used the mined bloody diamonds and arms deals with arms dealers to purchase weapons. Relying on this method of fighting to support war, the Revolutionary United Front attacked Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone, making the government very passive. If the international community had not come forward to help, the country would have changed hands.

No matter how fierce the executioner is, evil is evil and cannot defeat justice. With the help of the international community, the Sierra Leone government went through 9981 difficulties and finally defeated the Revolutionary United Front. Fodi Sanco was also captured alive, and later died of a stroke and avoided prison.

At this moment, the massacre scene presented to Erdan and the team was probably due to the "Revolutionary United Front" led by Fodi Sanko more than ten years ago. Almost all the deceased's arms were cut off and the death was very miserable.

After Ma Lei's story was told, everyone stayed at the massacre site for more than ten minutes, then left and continued to rush. As for the trauma caused by the Sierra Leone civil war, everyone could only laugh.

By the way, which country has not experienced a civil war?

Take our China for example. The five thousand years of history is the history of civil war. More than one hundred million people died?

The super power of Miligan also had a civil war during the unification of the north and the south, and many people died of unification.

Ma Lei told everyone that although the civil war in Sierra Leone has been over ten years, the country is still uneasy, and there are many bad guys, so everyone should be careful. During the Civil War, the remnants of the insurgents hid in deep mountains and forests, fought guerrilla warfare with the government, and continued to carry out destruction. Even some remote areas were controlled by the insurgents. When encountering these bad guys, it is best to circumvent them, otherwise it will be a small matter of robbery and a big matter of death. Also, during the Civil War, many guns and ammunition were scattered among the people. Although the government took back a large number of guns from the people after the war, many of them were not taken back and remained among the people. If you encounter the villages, be careful, because the civilians inside may have guns on them.

After Ma Lei preached, the members of the team were a little angry, but Li Erdan took it as if he was indifferent and didn't take it seriously. He was very skilled and brave. Even if there were obstacles in front of him, Li Erdan would be shocked and face him, and fuck him.

As night comes, the elephant group drives everyone forward, roughly in the east direction.

I was speechless all night and ignored the dawn. Some of the team members had woken up, while others were still lying on the back of the elephant and slept soundly.

The air in the morning in the mountains is very fresh, without any impurity particles such as PM2.5. Li Erdan and the team members are even a little "intoxicated". Ya, after living in polluted air in China for a long time, they are not very adaptable to the fresh air abroad.

Just rush to the fresh air in the Sierra Leone forest area. If you pack it into China for sale, it will be stressful to sell 200 yuan per can for ten liters.
