Warlord Sorry For Slaughter
A brutal warlord known as General Butt Naked apologized this week for leading his forces to kill over 20,000 people during Liberia's civil war.
The warlord, whose real name is Milton Blayee, got his nickname from his habit of racing into battle dressed only in combat boots, leading a similarly unclad gang of drug-addicted fighters. The Butt Naked Battalion was notorious for raiding villages, where they slaughtered the children and ate their hearts.
Speaking to Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission--set up to air the atrocities of the 1989-2003 war but not empowered to charge anyone with crimes--Blayee said he was sorry for his atrocities. "Every time i tell people my story, i feel relieved."
Blayee now lives in Ghana where he is a Christian minister.
