LIBERIA 1980

Cabinet ministers lined up for execution after a coup d'état in Liberia, 1980​

A Liberian army soldier stands ready to execute a former cabinet minister following the 1980 coup. The minister in the photo: Cecil Dennis.​

On April 12, 1980, Samuel Doe led a military coup, killing President William R. Tolbert, Jr., in the Executive Mansion. Twenty-six of Tolbert’s supporters were also killed in the fighting. Shortly after the coup, government ministers were walked publicly around Monrovia in the nude and then summarily executed by a firing squad on the beach.

The military coup is still surrounded by mystery. Apparently, the preparations for it went unnoticed, which is astonishing, given the fact that there was considerable political tension and also in light of the well-staffed U.S. Embassy in Monrovia (over 500 people).

The events had taken them all by surprise. Samuel Doe was not a publicly known figure in Liberia before April 12, 1980. That soon changed after that date.

The military take-over was a bloody one, labeled ‘a revolution’ by the 18 enlisted men of the Armed Forces of Liberia who toppled the Government of William R. Tolbert.

The 66-year old president was savagely murdered by private soldier Harrison Pennoh, who later proved mentally unstable. Before the end of the month, the entire Cabinet had been put on trial and sentenced to death – with no right to be defended by a lawyer and no right to appeal to the verdict.

Walichofanikiwa hawa kijani ni kufanya vyombo vyote vya dola kuwa matawi yao, na mapandikizi ndani baina ya viongozi wa vyombo hivyo.
Ni next to impossible kusikia coup de dat

Wewe sio mtanzania... Rudi kwenu

 

[JokaKuu]

tusifike huko please.

..mbona Tanzania tulishapitia huko?

..Ni kwasababu Watanzania hatudadisi au tunajisahaulisha historia yetu.

..Katika utawala wa Rais Abeid Karume, waliuawa watu wengi wakiwemo Mawaziri wake.

..Mauaji ya Abdulah Kassim Hanga, Mdungi Ussi, Aziz Twala, Othman Majura, hayana tofauti na mauaji unayoonyesha yaliyotokea Liberia.

Unadhani hawa wa Ghana walikuwa hawaashika kila mahali . Walikuwa hivyo, tena zaidi ya CCM, walijihakikishia hakuna wa kuwahoji/na hakuna wa kuwafanya kitu. Actually walikuwa kama CCM walivyoshika kila mahali, lakini humo humo kuna key figures usizozidhania are not hapy with what is going on!
