Liberia - Massacre

(26 Dec 1994) STORY: MASSACRE LOCATION: LIBERIA DATE: RECENT DURATION: 2.05 Five years on, the civil war slaughter continues December 25th, 1994 marked five years to the day that civil war started in Liberia. The tenth and latest peace treaty was signed last week, but the massacres continue. On the morning of Thursday December 15th, rebel troops entered a small residential area of the Paynesville suburb of Monrovia and, according to witnesses, slaughtered the women and children who lived there, killing up to 60 people. It is believed that the troops were members of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL). After the attack, the rebels carried the bodies back into their homes and set them on fire. Later that morning, the charred corpses were thrown into the backs of trucks and driven to the city centre. For the people of Monrovia, this brutal message of terror was too much to bear and four days later (19/12) hundreds took to the streets in a show of unity. They called for peace and for an end to the death and destruction inflicted upon them and their country during five years of civil war. In response to the massacre, ECOMOG, the Economic Community of West African States, Ceasefire Monitoring Group), increased security within the Liberian capital and its suburbs and bolstered the overnight curfew.
