5 Most Brutal And Ruthless Warlords In Africa (Pics) by 13ShadesOfMay(m): 2:21am On Dec 29, 2017 |
The volatile political environment in Africa has created many African warlords who gained power through military might and ruthless tactics. For these warlords, violence is the means to the end. Hence, they committed some of the worst atrocities and human rights abuses of our time. 1. Joshua Blair. Joshua Blahyi or General Butt Naked was once a commander of the forces under the Liberian rebel leader Roosevelt Johnson. He is known for his role of violence during the first Liberian Civil War in the early 1990s and has admitted he was responsible for more than 20,000 deaths. Blahyi led many intoxicated young boys into battles fighting naked or dressed in women's clothes. This is war style belief that it made them invincible. After the war, he became a Christian preacher. http://pulse.ng/bi/lifestyle/lifestyle-5-most-brutal-and-ruthless-warlords-in-africa-id7616897.html?link_time=1512166491 40 Likes 7 Shares

However, he denied the knowledge of their intended use in a genocide which leaves him with the blood of some 800 000 people on his hands. 34 Likes 7 Shares

Nnamdi Kanu of Biafra is not on that list, that alone makes the list invalid. The Biafra dilector and supreme head of IPOB is still in the jungle somewhere in Umuahia giving order to his soldiers to bring the Zoo army down. 94 Likes 18 Shares |

Foday Sankoh-Revolutionary United Front(RUF) of Sierra Leone. Jonas Savimbi-United Nationalists for Total Independence of Angola. Chai! I don old o,I remembered during my secondary school days,whenever I tuned in to BBC Focus on Africa, it sure bet they will carry news pertaining to civil wars in Africa, from Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, Mozambique, DR Congo to Central African Republic,no cheerful news at all, na only tales of blood. Thank God,things are getting better now,at least we are moving away from news of war to proper governance, though we are not there yet,but we are making progress. 241 Likes 11 Shares |

Why is this Jean Kambanda looking like a simplified version of BasketMouth?? So a Nigerian didn't make the list, wow!! In a traditional setting, gbam! This storm currently happening in United Kingdom would have been labeled a sign from the Gods because the Queens grandson decided to leave the royal family after marrying a girl from the neighboring village... It would have been labeled an *ABOMINATION* and the *consequences* the community has to face from the gods of the land.. And plenty sacrifices for don go to purify the land ����� I thank God for civilization oh! But what do I know�♂️� 9 Likes 1 Share |
