Liberia Civil War

The Liberia Civil War, lasting from 1989 to 2003, was a brutal conflict primarily between government forces and various rebel groups. It was fueled by political instability, ethnic tensions, economic hardship, and competition over natural resources like diamonds and timber. The war caused widespread destruction, atrocities, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. International efforts eventually helped restore peace, leading to democratic elections in 2005. The conflict left deep scars but also prompted national reconciliation and rebuilding efforts.
