In 1990, President Doe of Liberia slumped naked on the ground. His fingers were cut off, his ears and lower body were cut off. His face was in agony, his mouth kept shouting, but no one around him paid attention to him.
Doe is clearly the first indigenous president of Liberia. Why is no one pitiful when suffering from such torture? After carefully understanding his deeds, you will also say: deserve it!
In 1847, Liberia declared its independence and formally established the Republic of Liberia, which means "the state of freedom". However, this is not a country engaged in freedom.
Most of their citizens are black slaves liberated by the United States. President Joseph Roberts is white. Their constitution, flag, regime, etc. are all modeled on the United States to properly establish an American colony.
But in addition to these black slaves, there are still indigenous people on the land of Liberia. Only after the arrival of black slaves, they became "black slaves" of black slaves, oppressed, robbed of wealth, and served as slaves to these white slaves.
These days lasted for more than 130 years until the appearance of a man, Samuel Doe, broke the situation.
Doy comes from a remote aboriginal tribe. In order to survive, he chose to join the army and became a sergeant chief with his own efforts.
This position was not high, but in the army he had a bold idea to seize power.
The so-called "catch the king first", Doy tangled up 16 associates and went straight to the president's residence, rushed into the president's bedroom, shot the president, and successfully became the new president of Liberia, when he was only 30 years old.
The success of Doe has given hope to the Liberian aborigines. They thought Doe was a hero for the change of dynasties, but they didn't expect him to be just another dragon.
After sitting on the presidency, the first thing for Doe is to liquidate the former government officials, prosecute them in various names, tie them to the seaside posts, and broadcast the execution pictures on television in turn.
If this is to avenge the aborigines and make them happy, then his next operation will surprise the aborigines.
He executed all his former coup partners and replaced them with new ones, and bought them with money to ensure their loyalty. The monthly salary of soldiers reached 250 dollars.
Where does so much money come from? The answer is the interests of the people.
He sold iron ore and established banana plantations for export. At the same time, it also agreed that the United States would garrison troops in Liberia on the condition that the United States would pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is reported that during Doe's term of office, he and his associates made nearly 300 million dollars. When the Liberian people had no fixed place to live and starved to death, he took his family to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, regardless of the suffering of the Liberian people.
Under such a tyranny, Liberia has erupted uprisings of all sizes. The largest group is Doy's old friend Taylor. In 1990, after more than a year of fighting, Taylor's troops finally defeated the corrupt government of Doe and captured Doe alive.
President Doe, who once stood aloof, became the black sheep of his family.
Looking at Doe who had driven himself out of the interest group, Taylor was not soft at all. In order to know where Doe's wealth was, he first ordered people to cut off Doe's fingers one by one. With bursts of screams, Doe's hands were only palms.
Of course, this is just an appetizer. Then Taylor ordered someone to cut off both ears of Doe, leaving only two empty ear holes.
Even so, Doe still did not reveal where his wealth was, so infuriated Taylor ordered someone to cut off Doe's genitals. At this time, Doe had already bled too much and was dying. Taylor did not stop. He ordered people to strip all his clothes and put them on the stretcher for public display.
The Liberian people showed no mercy when they saw Doy become a ghost. Their eyes were full of hatred when they looked at him. A day later, Doe finally died in humiliation.
The brutal president died, and Taylor became the new president. However, the suffering of the Liberian people has not ended. Taylor is also a dragon, even more brutal than Doy.
He took over the arms business of Doe, used the money he earned to accumulate diamonds for himself, shot all the people who opposed him, and put children on the battlefield in Sierra Leone's civil war.
In 2003, Taylor was sent to a military court and sentenced to 50 years' imprisonment.
Neither Taylor nor Doe understood the truth that "water can carry a boat or sink it", and they were finally buried in their own desires.
