Roots of the second liberian civil war / Kieh, George Klay   Journal Article
Kieh, George Klay Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2009.
Summary/Abstract This article examines the roots of civil war in Liberia. He notes that the peace imposed after the first civil war laid the seeds of a second civil war. Too often peace settlements aimed at ending fighting do not contain a process for the resolution of underlying social problems. Thus, they become a temporary cessation of violence rather than a real peace. In Liberia there was scarcely two years between the end of the first civil war and the onset of a second. The lack of an adequate national security regime led to the competition for state power among warlords.

Taylor must go’ – the strategy of the Liberians United for reconciliation and democracy / Kaihko , Ilmari   Article
Kaihko , Ilmari Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract In 1999, rebels rose to oppose the newly elected former warlord Charles Taylor in Liberia. Motivated by a variety of reasons, the minimal common denominator of these rebels, who assumed the name Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), was that Charles Taylor must leave the country. The decentralized nature of LURD though stands out in their struggle, as they don't fit the unitary actor assumed by literature on strategy, nor the alternative conception of decentralized forces fighting for purely local reasons. Understanding such aberrations as LURD is the first step to finding strategies that can incorporate and manage them.
