In this historical analysis, we delve into the tumultuous decade of Liberia's history, marked by the rise and ruin of Samuel Doe's regime. The 1980 coup d'état, led by Doe, a young and ambitious military officer, would set the stage for a civil war that would ravage the West African nation.

As we explore the Liberian conflict, we examine the complexities of post-colonial Africa, where revolutionary movements and military takeovers often filled the power vacuum left by departing colonial powers. Doe's regime, marked by political unrest and ethnic conflict, would ultimately lead to a devastating civil war that would claim thousands of lives and displace millions.

Through a detailed examination of the historical events leading up to the conflict, we analyze the role of African leaders, such as Doe, in shaping the course of their nations' histories. We also draw parallels with neighboring Sierra Leone, which would soon be embroiled in its own brutal conflict.

Join us as we navigate the treacherous landscape of Liberia's decade of turmoil, and uncover the lessons that can be learned from one of Africa's most devastating conflicts.
