Butt Naked in Liberia
December 21, 2015
Three years after VICE first visited Liberia, they returned to talk to Joshua about Liberia today.
Joshua Blahyi, aka General Butt Naked, is a former warlord turned preacher who openly admits to commiting unspeakable atrocities during the civil war including killing and drinking the blood of young children. He is open to being prosecuted for his crimes and is in favor of the introduction of a war crimes court in Liberia. He complains that there are many others that commited crimes worse than his sitting in position of power in the current government of Liberia. In the featured video, Butt Naked states that he believes that he's hated and that his life is in danger because of willingness to admit to his crimes. He believes that if only a certain group of Liberians from a the southern part of the country are prosecuted or harassed by the current government that the country could possibly head back into a nightmarish war scenario. Is he right? Your thoughts?
