It all happened on December 24, 1989 when the married turned to widow and widower; and when the childbearing mother turned childless and children turned parentsless.

The homer became homeless, the rich became poor and the poor became rich. Elders lost their respect to kids they brought up. Lives were lost.

Most youths turned to blood suckers and homes looters. People walked nicked in street. People died from starvation and thirst. 

People left their comfortable homes and slept in the forests and ate leaves for survival. Women and girls were raped. Human rights were violated.

Innocent people were killed due to one man's selfish political gains. Lots of Liberians suffered home and abroad.

What was the cause of all these? 

The answer here is war. If war is the answer,then what brought about the war? This bloody massacre was caused by bad governance and last for 14 consecutive years.

This war took place in Liberia, a country in West Africa that borders three countries: On the North side is the Republic of Guinea, on the West is the Republic of Sierra Leone, the East is the Republic of Ivory Coast and on the South side is the Atlantic Ocean.

Liberia is divided into 15 political sub-divisions called counties with administrative purposes.
