Sierra Leone Civil War
The
Sierra Leone Civil War
(1991–2002) began on 23 March 1991 when the
Revolutionary United Front
(RUF), with support from the special forces of
Charles Taylor’s
National Patriotic Front of Liberia
(NPFL), intervened in Sierra Leone in an attempt to overthrow the
Joseph Momoh
government. The resulting
civil war
lasted 11 years, enveloped the country, and left over 50,000 dead.
