Monrovia, Liberia. Freetown, etc.

I don't really know if this can be discussed here (with all due Respect), I would love to hear anyone's personal experience.

I went to school with a kurtz-like Character who contracted Photography from the devastation & conditions in Westpoint, left behind from the almost 2-decade Civil War.

Just to start: It prompt me to research this long ago .. It certainly Left an Impression on me!

I have spent time in Liberia… and have a couple of friends that have lived/worked there recently… happy to try to answer any questions you might have (or refer you to folks that might be able to answer them)…

I’ve also spend a small bit of time in Freetown, Sierra Leone… a former attorney/judge from Sierra Leone used to work for me a few years back.. happy to try to reach her as well … (she worked in the juvenile justice reform sector)…

While most of the US received little coverage or even knew what was going on there,
I just wondered if anyone had been or felt themselves in a precarious situation while visiting some of the less fortunate areas afflicted?

The Hx from the beginning, to Samuel K Doe, Charles Taylor, etc .. The General Warlords, ..
This can get dicey, however, that had to have been one of the most devastating (lack of words here) I've researched.
