Thank you to whoever shot this video. We need to understand the real impact of war. I do not think Liberians should have had to die to oust Taylor, but he’s gone and far away, and I hope that they will heal.
Even the families needs rehabilitation because they’re also traumatized. Tht lil boy you knew is no longer the ones coming bk to you. So the families needs some of intervention to know how to accept or coop with the act their their child(ren) was once a child soldier. This is hard on both ends
I'm studying Child Soldiers for a project. I can't believe people could be so heartless in such ways. The fact is disgusting, I wonder how people can do such things.
I love horror movies true crime etc and can watch the most gruesome stuff without feeling a thing. I can never watch anything with kids suffering or violence against kids I am super squeamish. I cannot even watch the news with kids suffering.
it is not America that is surpose to help us we are surpose to help ourselves. "never make a politician grant you a favor, for they always try to control you forever'" rest in peace bob marley
The child soldiers were given huge doses of drugs like cocaine and meth. Using drugs in childhood, especially on an empty stomach, can seriously derange your mind.
What happened in Liberia was very tragic. Taylor gave little children an AK47 and turned them loose on their own people. It was a terrible thing and many people died. I have friends that lived there during the war and I went back with them after the war. I love the Liberian people, I keep hoping to go back one day soon. God save you Liberia. It is nice to hear their special dialect of English again. Liberia Liberia
Its true the mothers knew if the children stayed home they would be killed and if the are killed fighting more of the enemy would be demolished My mom told me this about the sudanese civil war
What a most cowardly act for leading figures to send children into battle and these men consider themselves to be leaders and men of honour , they are of the foulest men on the planet.
My cousins consider themselves Nigerian first before American. They are not so proud of their American nationality compared to how happy they are being Nigerians. They just love Africa that much. Just like me, I'm only American by nationality but I'm a full blooded Nigerian(mom and dad). I say I'm Nigerian whenever I'm asked of my nationality and I'll fight anyone trying to deny me of my Nigeria heritage cause I speak pijin English and Yoruba fluently. So yea Nigerian I am.
the poor children,we are so lucky if we are not like them,not having anything and everyday they wake up,knowing that they could be killed hours later....stop the war!
That would be fantastic, my only suggestion would be to try to get a hold of "world hunger" perhaps they could help you direct donations. You must have a really big heart to try to help others...that's fantastic!! God be with you!
yes, sure subtitles would have made it intelligible to non liberians, for liberians, it's a refreshing moment. i've been out since 1990. How i loved to hear our accent once more! the story's pathetic though and the children are coping after the nightmares, good God will do the rest!!!
The freedom I have in Nigeria is too much. We play soccer in the rain and smoke weed on Lekki beach or by a river side in Port Harcourt whenever we go there. The reason I'm not into the American way is cause I'm too used to Nigeria not cause I don't like the USA but cause Naturally, I want the world to see me as a Nigerian. Sometimes I wear Ofi to work with bead necklaces all around my neck. Even though I'll become the laughing stock in my office, some secretly ask me to help them get one. 9ja!!
well one im african-american from america so ima clear that up and too if u research it,youll know that the liberian constitution was built on the american one, they have the american common law, these r the american influenced aspects of liberia ok to the cultural part..the english is the english spoken by african americans called african american vernacular english, their foods have been influenced by african americans,their family life has also been influenced by african americans continue...
well first of all im da same way nigerian dad/african american mom so dats first and second of all african americans r VERY proud of their african heritage its true we are very proud people so ya and plus i love my country 2 i LOVE nigeria im proud of both countries are ur cousins proud of being american also cause they r both...and third african americans are no where near seperating themselves from africa because alot of african american culture came from africa i call myself nigerian-american
Life is so hard for many people. It is sad. Everyone has a right to be happy. Most grief is caused by religion. Some day people will be educated and there will be no more religion. Then maybe we will all live in peace and harmony. Of course, that is a long way off. To educate all people's is a huge undertaking. But someday it will be. Good luck to all these children. I do so want them to be happy. Children are not supposed to be unhappy of afraid.
why are you talking about Nigeria and other cultural things. I grew up in Liberia. I am a white boy that speaks Liberian English as a country boy. My soul is in Liberia because I love the country and the people. My best friends are Gio, Krahn, Kpelle, Bassa and from all over the country. My dream is to go back and help however I can. You are talking about ebonics when the point is the pain and loss that civil...or uncivil war brought.
I did my research and I found out your comment was the stupid one. What I'm saying is Liberians need to prove they are independent by changing their flag to something original something that represents their struggle and sovereignty. It's in no way accusing them of not being original. It's just that I feel they deserve better than what Americans left them.
but wen people c u and talk to u,theyll call u an african american until u tell dem dat ur nigerian and theyll say nigerian american i mean there is nothing wrong with loving africa cuz africans and afro americans have dat same bond and share and share that same love for african but just because ur nigerian doesnt mean u cant be proud of the country ur born in no matter wat country.. so im proud to be and american and im also proud 2 be a nigerian ur cousins should be proud of USA too..continued
boycott journeyman - they're a YT partner channel ( ie; making money of this video ) yet don't provide a subtitled version in any language ( as is the case with many of their posts ). enjoy the video if you're liberian.
Dude the Liberian flag has looked like the American flag since 1827. The only difference was that the star was a cross. How about you research a little before making stupid comments???
It's the government that choose to call me African American not my dad or my mum. They should've asked what I wanted to be before they tagged me African American or American. No matter how bad it is in Africa, I wouldn't trade her for America or any other place on earth. My Caribbean and Black American friends are doing their ancestry test cause they want to know where they are from in Africa. I no sabi wetin people de fear for Africa oo but that's my only home!
A terrible Africa is ravaging the Bahamas. Wing speeds exceed 200 MPH. There are expected to be several hundred Africa's during this Africa. Also, in the Middle East, a terrible Africa has broken out. There have been over 300 Africas, and there are expected to be more Africas in the coming days, as this virulent new strain of deadly Africa sweeps the region. A violent Africa has broken out in Peru as the job crisis continues, causing several Africas.
After reading the comments on this issue one thing has become very clear, no one knows what is going on in africa. So the first thing that we do is talk about how it is each races fault. Blacks dont have the capacity to run there own country, yet we see barack obama about to run US. Whites would be no where without blacks, yet they are still prosperous. We worry to much about colour and not about the fact that we are people, that we are human. You have all forgotten this is about the children.
@warmongerww3 judging by your comments im gonna assume your one of those ppl who thinks he knows war but yet has never been to anything remotely close to conflict except for maybe an airsoft scuffle, those resources can be taken by the strongest but that doesnt make it theres. They belong to the ppl of that land and I hope your not American or I am ashamed to share this land with you.
Why don't you guys want to be Africans? why do you claim the American part so much and detest your African self? why? Being black is a natural blessing. My cousins are Afro Americans(Nigerian mom and Afro American dad) and they are so much in love with their motherland (Africa).We all come back to Nigeria every December as a matter of fact, they call themselves Nigerians. Why are people looking to separate themselves from Africa so much? Trouble don't last you know? It's only a lesson to learn.
your right they were part of the problem but most of them didnt have no choice.... if they would have refuse they would have been killed along with they family.... in this situation you have 2 pick kil or be killed... they shouldnt blame other people for they what happen but insyead of us blaming them we should try to find away and help
Because it is our country pledge of allegiance....just to notify you on our country history, it was founded by free african american slaves from the United States....being that they were from the united states and familar with the country's culture, they decided to form Liberia in accordance with America...that's why we have similar flags and places...and our country was named after the fifth American President James Monroe, who also helped with the liberty of these former slaves...
hahaha! Yeah I need to let Nigerians know I'm Nigerian too. Most of them are busy bursting Ebonics in my ears while I'm looking for to speak pijin with someone cause my cousins' pijin is bad. Why are they ashamed to speak pijin? I have to tell them "carry your Oyinbo go England. speak vernacular abeg". And they'll be like "I ain't never been to Nigeria so how da hell do you expect me to speak that". I really hate it when they deny Nigeria as if it's not good at all. That's my home they denying!
so they arent deying their home even sum of my family dont speak the native languages IN NIGERIA lol so it dont mean they dont LOVE nigeria as much as u do they arent ashamed to speak english cuz they prob dont know it..wen i was here b4 i went i aint kno how 2 speak it dat dont eman i wasnt ashamed cuz i would always hold d nigerian flag and next to dat one da USA flag i was always proud i juss feel u have 2 be proud to be both plus if u didnt kno ebonics came from ALOT of africans languages
Narjahs, If you read this properly you would have seen that i was not being racist i the slightest. I was using example of people comments throughout this video and tryed to point of the stupidity of them. I know how brutal the killings are in liberia. The fact that you think i am racist disgusts me, how about you read some of the comments on this video then you might see the comments THAT OTHER people made. I am not racist and do not believe being black makes a difference to running a country.
well it looks like ur not proud of ur american nationality which is sumthing u should be proud of and same with ur cousin im proud of both nigerian and american so ya im proud to be an american and nigerian but i do admit if i had 2 choose to play for which soccer(football not american lol) country 2 play for i would pick USA but thats just me ive stayed in nigeria for a year and i also know pigin myself but my dad never taught me d native language continued...
So it's the American culture that you guyz practice in Liberia? I never knew that. I taught you guyz were Africans brought back from America after slavery was abolished. I never taught of your cultural aspects. I was just thinking about the political aspect of it. I taught the Liberians deserved something independent and something of their own that's all. I'm curious, what is the African American culture? please reply.
Nothing is wrong with ebonics. I talk to my women in Ebonics but they seem to laugh more when I say jokes in pijin english. It's like a game on it's own. My girl friend wants me to always say "babe you fine well well oo" not you look beautiful. All my friends are learning pijin english cause I really want people to understand it cause it's fun.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution, there is no neutral side. We are saying either yes or no. Pride, ignorance, and greed started Liberia's war. Strife and envy involving differences in ethnities... Even if one is forced into fighting, there is still the liberty to say NO, "I refuse to condemn myself in such a manner..." Stop blaming and take responsible our acts.
@jeben25 Eye for an eye making the whole world go blind. How could you ever expect peace when your on a war path?! If you want peace start learning how to be peaceful then teach it to others. If they refuse to get taught your a bad teacher. But at least you won't be a bad man and not shaming Africa by changing in the type of man that doesn't deserve to walk on Africa's soil. P.S. if your able to spell hate with three capital letters have some respect for Africa and give it at least 1.
Please make sure you listen to my song about my homeland Liberia. Called "windows of my soul." by me Tre Doh and bout Liberia. I Vow to tell our story and be the new voice of Liberia in Hip Hop. Let me know what you think of it. Tre Doh "Windows of My Soul"
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution, there is no neutral side. We are saying either yes or no. Pride, ignorance, and greed started Liberia's war.

Stop blaming and take responsibility for our actions. Now "wat?????????"
@BoogieKnight1976 what about Hitler? Wasnt war the only acceptable action in that situation? How do you propose we beat Hitler or Osama bin Laden with love?
also the freedom part..we have freedom in the USA also its just theres more rules that are very good, in nigeria u can drink legally no matter what age but here only 21 cause i ont want my kids drinking at 15 or anything like dat those rules r needed and weed is a drug to me IT IS lolz but its whatever anyways but u like soccer?i kno Naija now be ur team but i can say nigeria is doing real good in qualifying also what do u think of d USA national team good of like good or bad?im for USA SOCCER!!
also u know dat african american vernacular and ebonics are like d african american version of pigin to nigeria,patois to jamaica etc cuz african americans have alot of sentence structure like d african languages but ya even d white people here have their lil english dats sumwhat creole lolz so ya we all got sum kind of Creole what we and every other nigerian call our pigin english so ya
Liberia need to have a new flag!!!!!! That one looks like American flag and it doesn't glorify Liberia at all. Americans did nothing during the war! It was African troops that saved Liberia. Nigeria is still sending aid workers there. What has the US done? Please put a different Flag there. Something that represents Africa and the struggle of Liberians not that American flag!!
yea lolz i kno wat chu mean but ya those nigerians juss aint ever been to nigeria blame da parents not them cause their parents shoulda took them that line aint show me dat they ont like naija they juss never went cause their parents aint take dem...and wats wrong with ebonics???i speak dat all da time and sumtimes ill speak pigin cuz itll come out wen i was in nigeria they said i should speak the english t hey speak their english so ur tellin me u ont speak ebonics and be like a yo was good?no?
but ya also when the african americans had the power,just know that liberia was excelling until the war broke out and made it a dirty and broken country that it is right now but liberia would have been up to south africa at the rate it was going prob the closest to america you would have got but at least the new president ellen johnsonm sirleaf is bringing change to that country because liberia is rebuilding..also did u know that liberians can get into america very easy i mean very easy??
o iights well i taught my friends da smae thing cuz i think its fun too damn we nigerians got a certain bond hahaha but im still proud of USA nonetheless i be speakin pigin and the african american variation called ebonics so ya wen i was playin soccer they asked me wat language they speak there and i told em english but theres also a language called pigin and they was liek give me an example i was like how are u is HOW U DEY and wassup is HOW FAR?they now say pretty cool lolz so ya its cool lol
The iron ore doesn't belong to Liberia just because it's on Liberian soil. The iron ore belongs to those who are strongest to exploit this natural resource
Webster5623, I don't see what being black and running a country have to do with the other. You say this as though Liberia has always been at war and like the US is not at war right now. The brutality of the killings due to drug use is completely horrible but that does not change the fact that it is war. Sounds like you are a racist and I hope that you are not african-american with such distorted views of your people. The only thing that I agree with you on is that it is all about the children.
why dont the black ppl, especially the muslims, go to their rich arab brothers in the gulf, or saudi, why are they coming to us, and u got to ask ur black leaders why they embezzle all the aid. Mobutu stole billions, we cant help u, u got to help ur self, and stop blaming us for ur incompetence
lol u did??dats cool man i be wearing my natives tho people ont really laugh at me but ima have 2 agree with u on dat part cause wen i go 2 church ill wear my natives to show peopl eim nigerian and to shows other nigerians(if they didnt know already cuz they prob did) dat im nigerian also so i cant be mad at dat lolz and ok well im proud of USA and NAIJA also i ont smoke weed soo not being able 2 legally here is not a big deal even tho they do have a day where u can cant remember it tho but ok
I love these people very much, GOD BLESS all of AFRICA
Thank you to whoever shot this video. We need to understand the real impact of war. I do not think Liberians should have had to die to oust Taylor, but he’s gone and far away, and I hope that they will heal.
No.. this is what happens when these type of people go to war.. America has been at war for the past 20 years and we never used children as soldiers.
@@thetruepatriot7733 But u sell the weapons to them.
LIFE GOES ON...R.I.P to everybody that pass of this beautiful country..JUST YOUNG SOULS mislead by the people with money !!!!
Ha " Tell everyone that it is good that u r here" so simple yet so strong :)
Even the families needs rehabilitation because they’re also traumatized. Tht lil boy you knew is no longer the ones coming bk to you. So the families needs some of intervention to know how to accept or coop with the act their their child(ren) was once a child soldier. This is hard on both ends
I'm studying Child Soldiers for a project. I can't believe people could be so heartless in such ways. The fact is disgusting, I wonder how people can do such things.
i was born and grew up during the civil war in Liberia
I love horror movies true crime etc and can watch the most gruesome stuff without feeling a thing. I can never watch anything with kids suffering or violence against kids I am super squeamish. I cannot even watch the news with kids suffering.
it is not America that is surpose to help us we are surpose to help ourselves. "never make a politician grant you a favor, for they always try to control you forever'" rest in peace bob marley
Can someone put captions on this? I think its really intresting..but for some things they say its hard to understand
Its a mean old fucking world! I really hope that Liberia gets beyond this bullshit.
The child soldiers were given huge doses of drugs like cocaine and meth. Using drugs in childhood, especially on an empty stomach, can seriously derange your mind.
What happened in Liberia was very tragic. Taylor gave little children an AK47 and turned them loose on their own people. It was a terrible thing and many people died.

I remember in 1996, we use to sing this song right after the april six..bring back so much memories.
Its true the mothers knew if the children stayed home they would be killed and if the are killed fighting more of the enemy would be demolished My mom told me this about the sudanese civil war
What a most cowardly act for leading figures to send children into battle and these men consider themselves to be leaders and men of honour , they are of the foulest men on the planet.
Thanks FangMom, a lot of people write comments, and say things with out even having facts.
Yes. The answer is definitely yes.
My cousins consider themselves Nigerian first before American. They are not so proud of their American nationality compared to how happy they are being Nigerians. They just love Africa that much. Just like me, I'm only American by nationality but I'm a full blooded Nigerian(mom and dad).

dude african are smart all they need is a good goverment i wish i can help them
its really hard to understand what they are saying i think they should add subtitles to it
That would be fantastic, my only suggestion would be to try to get a hold of "world hunger" perhaps they could help you direct donations. You must have a really big heart to try to help others...that's fantastic!! God be with you!
GOD BLESS LIBERIA
Paul Ngafua ..why should they be blessed? They are cannibalistic murderers.
yes, sure subtitles would have made it intelligible to non liberians, for liberians, it's a refreshing moment. i've been out since 1990. How i loved to hear our accent once more! the story's pathetic though and the children are coping after the nightmares, good
God will do the rest!!!
The English is hard to understand, why is there no translation?

i swear liberian culture has alot of american culture the americo-liberians really impacted the culture there
well one im african-american from america so ima clear that up and too if u research it,youll know that the liberian constitution was built on the american one, they have the american common law, these r the american influenced aspects of liberia ok to the cultural part..the english is the english spoken by african americans called african american vernacular english, their foods have been influenced by african americans,their family life has also been influenced by african americans continue...
Was it a good ad?

imagine the smell...
yes true
WOW @ 11:21!!
I think the English should be "everyone is here" not everyone are here . Just a little correction in the statement of the lady speaking in the video.
no KISS is a band and they used to call their fans the "KISS Army"
Life is so hard for many people. It is sad. Everyone has a right to be happy. Most grief is caused by religion. Some day people will be educated and there will be no more religion.

I do so want them to be happy. Children are not supposed to be unhappy of afraid.
Really ? How so ?
World war 1 and 2

And all the war happends bcs of religion ???
You must be dumb

Good, but you said something wrong. Norway is the country now who gives away most money to other countries. Not Denmark anymore.
Video game ads, how appropriate.
@BrotherSkillz, Shanghoma is right, money causes many many problems, any one should be able to see that there are many flaws in any one system...

Why don't you guys want to be Africans? why do you claim the American part so much and detest your African self? why? Being black is a natural blessing.

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution, there is no neutral side. We are saying either yes or no. Pride, ignorance, and greed started Liberia's war. Strife and envy involving differences in ethnities... Even if one is forced into fighting, there is still the liberty to say NO, "I refuse to condemn myself in such a manner..." Stop blaming and take responsible our acts.
@jeben25
Eye for an eye making the whole world go blind.
How could you ever expect peace when your on a war path?!
If you want peace start learning how to be peaceful then teach it to others. If they refuse to get taught your a bad teacher. But at least you won't be a bad man and not shaming Africa by changing in the type of man that doesn't deserve to walk on Africa's soil.
P.S. if your able to spell hate with three capital letters have some respect for Africa and give it at least 1.
Please make sure you listen to my song about my homeland Liberia. Called "windows of my soul." by me Tre Doh and bout Liberia. I Vow to tell our story and be the new voice of Liberia in Hip Hop. Let me know what you think of it. Tre Doh "Windows of My Soul"
Black people need to spot blaming everything on white men and unite.Africa is a beautiful and rich country it's citizens deserve way way better..

@BoogieKnight1976 what about Hitler? Wasnt war the only acceptable action in that situation? How do you propose we beat Hitler or Osama bin Laden with love?

Liberia need to have a new flag!!!!!! That one looks like American flag and it doesn't glorify Liberia at all. Americans did nothing during the war! It was African troops that saved Liberia. Nigeria is still sending aid workers there. What has the US done? Please put a different Flag there. Something that represents Africa and the struggle of Liberians not that American flag!!
@LadyWatchman LOL
yea lolz i kno wat chu mean but ya those nigerians juss aint ever been to nigeria blame da parents not them cause their parents shoulda took them that line aint show me dat they ont like naija they juss never went cause their parents aint take dem...and wats wrong with ebonics???i speak dat all da time and sumtimes ill speak pigin cuz itll come out wen i was in nigeria they said i should speak the english t hey speak their english so ur tellin me u ont speak ebonics and be like a yo was good?no?
google the Liberian flag bro.
but ya also when the african americans had the power,just know that liberia was excelling until the war broke out and made it a dirty and broken country that it is right now but liberia would have been up to south africa at the rate it was going prob the closest to america you would have got but at least the new president ellen johnsonm sirleaf is bringing change to that country because liberia is rebuilding..also did u know that liberians can get into america very easy i mean very easy??
@attorneydestroyusa I think your opinions lack any educational insight. I commiserate you.
You must be a very Sick person to come to a Video like this and make Stupid Comments.

@esraretin this is the reason for the war in the first place! was intolerance of other cultures and greed. shame on you
The iron ore doesn't belong to Liberia just because it's on Liberian soil. The iron ore belongs to those who are strongest to exploit this natural resource
Webster5623,
I don't see what being black and running a country have to do with the other. You say this as though Liberia has always been at war and like the US is not at war right now. The brutality of the killings due to drug use is completely horrible but that does not change the fact that it is war. Sounds like you are a racist and I hope that you are not african-american with such distorted views of your people. The only thing that I agree with you on is that it is all about the children.
why dont the black ppl, especially the muslims, go to their rich arab brothers in the gulf, or saudi, why are they coming to us, and u got to ask ur black leaders why they embezzle all the aid. Mobutu stole billions, we cant help u, u got to help ur self, and stop blaming us for ur incompetence
@CrimeReport You don't think it might have to do with environment? Are Russians a different species? How about Germans?
lol u did??dats cool man i be wearing my natives tho people ont really laugh at me but ima have 2 agree with u on dat part cause wen i go 2 church ill wear my natives to show peopl eim nigerian and to shows other nigerians(if they didnt know already cuz they prob did) dat im nigerian also so i cant be mad at dat lolz and ok well im proud of USA and NAIJA also i ont smoke weed soo not being able 2 legally here is not a big deal even tho they do have a day where u can cant remember it tho but ok
