The Sierra Leon Civil War (1991–2002) began on 23 March 1991 when the Revolutionary United Front (RUF), with support from the special forces of Charles Taylor’s National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), intervened in Sierra Leone in an attempt to overthrow the Joseph Momoh government. The resulting civil war lasted 11 years, enveloped the country, and left over 50,000 dead.

By attacking villages and carrying out its vicious attacks, the LRA defies claims that the group is weakening.rebels also abduct people and recruit them to fight for people
The rebels attack innocent people because they are not going to be armed like soldiers. They also use people as a shield in case they come in contact with soldiers.
Children are used as soldiers because they are easier to condition and brainwash. They don't eat much food, don't need paying much and have an underdeveloped sense of danger so are easier to send into the line of fire.

They used children soldiers beacuse they are easier to control. They are also easier to trick into fighting for the cause the rebels want to fight for.
The Civil War in Sierra Leone began because of blood diamonds. Many people were used as slaves to dig up diamonds. Many of the people were mistreated in the region

ReplyDeleteI think that the rebels attack innocent people because they want the children to fight in there army and they need food, clothing, and ammo
