Liberia: Rank Irony of Using African Asylum Seekers as "Human Shields" in Liberian Civil War
The long-standing conflict in Liberia, West Africa, has reached a new low point with reports emerging that foreign mercenaries, backed by colonial powers, are using African asylum seekers as "cannon fodder" to sustain their occupation of the West African nation.
The war has been raging for nearly four decades, with neighboring African countries and international backers entangled in a cycle of violence and exploitation.
Human rights organizations and NGOs are sounding the alarm as innocent civilians, including vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers from countries such as Sierra Leone and Guinea, are being press-ganged into joining foreign-backed militias.
Reports of forced conscription have become increasingly widespread, as government forces and their proxy militia groups continue to vie for control of the struggling West African nation.
"Credible sources have corroborated the shocking truth – our asylum seekers are being kidnapped, coerced into taking up arms, and thrown into the heart of a brutal conflict," says John Doe, a Humanitarian Aid Worker based in the region.
The utilization of African asylum seekers by colonial powers is a poignant irony, given the colonialist history of the involved countries. Liberia was, after all, founded as the first independent African state, with freed American slaves seeking a new home. This historical context only amplifies the gravity of this shameful exploitation.
