What a fantastic channel. We don't hear about this history at all in the West.
The only way to get Africa in the US News is when American Soldiers are killed or wounded there. Never mind that the US public gets no information as to why US forces are in Africa and what they are doing there
It will never cease to amaze me how little I still know about history even with a BA in it. Thanks for what you do!
Thanks for the history. This was the beginning of political instability in Liberia that ultimately destroyed the country. The effects are still being felt today.
My brother I have followed u for long time u from Uganda and u inspired me so much and am praying for all in the struggle
The last thing Sam Doe would hear would be Prince Johnson asking him 'Where is the money? What's the bank account number?' as he tortured him.
Interesting Channel
Africa is a beautiful but troubling continent
Thank you for sharing
Liberia was the pearl of West Africa and Morovia was compared to Miami, now look at what greed and madness has done to that beautiful land. Even today it has failed to recover and hence lies the immense sadness and madness of Africa which no one wants to address.
History has repeated in East Africa #Uganda with ruthless & most repressive dictorship regime of 35yrs under Museveni.
If the Americos while a people who left us 200 years ago would have educated all the natives this never would have happened. White supremacy always breaks it's tools in the end.
@@jimdenson but why should you expect the Americans to educate your people when Liberia had all the opportunity after gaining its own independence? You gain independence and then again expect assistance? Where is the rationale in that and how do you realistically expect to advance as a nation or even a civilization with that type of dependency syndrome?
Imagine slaves from America came to Liberia and enslaved the indigenous people....the irony of it all...
I'm impressed with the channel. There are opportunities and ways to make it really grow. I'm sure the creator of the channel will know this. Great work!
Thankful for brothers like you to provide great history like this. Many thanks.
Our leaders....the main cause of African stagnation!
Valentine Strassar took power in a coup at the age of 25 in Sierra leorne
Thank you for the this amazing content. I have been learning A LOT about our history of late.
By watching this series, I've learnt that any president that comes into power in a coup automatically becomes a dictator. Now we wait for Museveni in Uganda.
Do it yourself brother, you sound just fine. English was never an African tongue. Let's be proud of our African languages. And we not America's stepchildren. Gone are those days. We know who we are. Thanks, great content.
Don't be stupid. He has to use English. If he is from Uganda and I'm from South Africa,how would I understand what he is saying if not for English?
@@donavanmhlongo6435 you missed the point son
I hope Zimbabwean leadership will learn from this
And #dictatorM7 of #Uganda
You always come up with great content. I have followed your channel for a while now.
I have noticed that in this video your voice seems not so smooth. I hope for better audio quality as we progress.
Cheers.
You should do a video on the Sierra Leonean civil war!
Really appreciate this
Please do a documentary Muritala Mohamed of Nigeria.
Two major problems hinder our development in most African countries.
1. Religion
2. Ethnicity
do you have a solution?
The solution is with me and you. And that is what our politicians use to divide us
So true. We need to overcome it and be united!
And inferiority complex
Well narrated loved it and have learnt a lot
Everything about this was brutal, gory, and savage. Why can't I stop watching though?
Reagan's Admin gave up spying on Doe's executive mansion activities, they were trying to figure out how this relationship would work - but all that Doe and his buddies usually did was party hard, womanize all night, and sleep during daytime. True story.
The man was an illiterate soldier who thought he could run a modern state.
All African Countries must NOW study Liberia case in depth like never before. The only place in Africa the free Black Americans were taken to. They could have went to other African countries well and assemble among the people there also. Liberia case needs to be studied, reacessd, what truly happened there, why, who is responsible and should be held accountable.
Thank you for this informative content.
Reagan called him Chairman Moe, confusing him with Arap Moi, who was the OAU chairman.
Not Chairman Mao? Reagan was demented you know.
Why can’t Africans GROW from their experiences rather than replicate them..!?
Maybe if you treated your oppressors with the same contempt as your kin folk *YOU WOULDN’T BE OPPRESSED..!!*
Its because their hearts dont change. Human nature is evil.
Africans don't identify with skin colour...but their tribes...to assume Africans are the same would be ignorant.. Africans are as different as a french is to a German
@@samanth. naw all blk people act like Children. And every one says this about us. Whites will always stick together in the end.
@@Logos_Black 🤣🤣🤣 whites are sticking together very well in Ukraine war, it's a white on white war, black people only exist in America, the rest of the world blacks are human being & dnt identify with skin color
@@samanth. Sam the whites in Ukraine turned around and put blacks at the back of the line for escape. They put black women with babies out in the snow. Those blks that came to fight for Ukraine we're given a beating. I'm an AA in southern Africa and these people here very much identify as black and white. You're most likely from an African country that bowed down to colonizers whole sale and didn't fight back like Zimbabweans, south Africans, etc. So please speak for your own cowderly tribe. Good day and #BlackFirst.
charles taylor (escaped) was let loose from the us prison to go cause havock in liberia.
brio palumpus - *US* prison. *Havoc*.
Probably had something to do with the C.I.A. as well.
Yes, Charles Taylor was released from prison and also courted by Washington elites who were interested in Liberia's diamonds.. They later financed his grab for power in Liberia civil war..Many of the political elites in Washington TODAY, those sanctimonious politicians and business leaders have direct links to Charles Taylor and his blood diamonds..
great work!
Your videos are very informative and well explained, but you should be more careful with the editing specially on the sorrounding sounds. When you read your script I can hear the mouse clicking and other noises of this kind. You should try to improve this in the future. Hope you don´t take this the wrong way.
Thank u for sharing this history
The beginning of self destruction
I was there the day of the coup. The popular song then was, "Country woman born soldier, Congo woman born Tolbert".
What the outside world calls Americo-Liberians, the Liberians themselves call "Congo" (pronounced Kongoh) people.
You don't heart the term Americo-Liberians in Liberia. Just Congo. I suppose because the locals confused the returnees with slaves from the Congo who were rescued (after abolishing of slavery by the British) from the high seas and resettled in Liberia rather than being sent back to the Congo and be enslaved again.
Some were also resettled in Sierra Leone, along with freed slaves from Jamaica.
Good work to this channel and I know the narrator is a Ugandan. Webare nyo much love
Are you sure
Very very sure
@@nulukabanda954 very sure
More than sure
Muna'Uganda tabula
Do foday sankor of Sierra leone and Charles Taylor of Liberia next
Late President Samuel Doe is wearing his African suit attire very well,like no one else, his afro rocks, really rocks well.
Love the video. The only thing I would say is that there seems to be some slight audio issues. It almost sounds like you're buffering a tiny bit but obviously you're not lol. Anyway good video overall I will keep watching
Great work!
When a military man becomes president you're trouble.
Yeah right...but i am amazed Paul Kagame is doing right in his country, i think he is the only one
Not always
Good stuff my Ugandan compatriot
correction Doe was 28 not 20
Thanks for the history
Reagan called him Chairman "Moe"
It should be written as, "The Rise & Fall..."
Joseph Konneh - Nope. It can be written in any form. Yours and his are both right.
Yoweri Museveni should watch this in 2021
#UgandaIsBleeding #SilentGenocideInUganda #UgandaDictatorMustFall
Never heard This about doe.. African leaders and corruption , dude deserves what he got from Charles Taylor and the other maniac
Great picture great job great movement
Well searched history. Times and dates are exact.
I'm a Liberian.
@Eye’m ONaBoat so they killed doe because he tried to strengthen Liberia HiiLuuu from a fellow Liberian.
@@therighteousone100 no he was executed because Prince Johnson wanted to succeed him
Decent video you have here, well researched. Maybe look into getting a microphone or consider downloading some kind of audio recording software as a way to improve sound and voice quality.
Great stuff either way. I subbed!
@Edward 74alwayz It's not disrespect, it's me providing him with constructive criticism by suggesting things he can do to improve the content.
If anyone sees it as disrespectful then they're probably just oversensitive.
Thanks for the tips!
I think the sound is okay
Yea this is great channel covering Africa's leaders history perhaps you should start a paypal and patreon link for us to donate
@@AFRISTORYNETWORK love your humility
Do one on Daniel Arap Moi
At least he's rocking that Afro
Afros were in at that time.
For those who say Liberia was perfect before Doe: ruclips.net/video/qJZCbzl4JnY/видео.html
I don't support Samuel Doe at all for his methods but each party has to take responsability for the current situation of Liberia.
Would love to know who made Liberia what it is today, was it Doe or Charles Taylor? Coz from what I have read Liberia was once a very good country
The civil war. (Ellen Johnson Sirleaf) and other influential Liberians
United States will answer to that question
Doe destroyed the Liberian elite that descended from American slaves who relocated to Liberia in 1805 and built the most stable sub-saharan African nation. Unfortunately, the descendants of US slaves were overthrown by Doe and the country never recovered.
Liberia was an amazing country in the 80’s but the Liberian elites couldn’t not accept that they were no longer in power so they mastermind the civil war.
Love the video but don’t put too many ads, it’s annoying it’s every 3mins
Why is it that Africa worst dictators where once Americas close ally ?
All the world’s dictators were once US allies. All African leaders who oppose the West die young or in tragic ways. I wish our leaders knew better and cared about more than money, that is how the West buys them...recognition and money.
@@Rafi88 EXACTLY!
That country was the jewel of Africa. Now it is a third world country. American liberains bought technology to that country.
@Nana Adutwum well said dude
it was never a jewel to start with, i'm sure dpuglas is an American .
@Douglas Brown if u mean jewel for Americans then u right, the same ppl you speak of became oppressors. they were the masters wilst the indigenous ppl were made servants. as history shows us the civil war was inevitable, that's what happened in the us as well.
The tribals mad they didn't know how to use the resources under their feet. That's why the Chinese are there in Liberia building roads... The founding fathers didn't need the Chinese lol
@Nana Adutwum the model is to put the nation in debt to China you idiot. 10 percent interest on loans will undoubtedly snare you. African always worshipping non-blacks, it's sad 😢
Didn't the American Liberians stop slavery around the region? Those tribes was selling other tribes into slavery.
Does anyone at your channel know what ultimately became of Prince Johnson or Doe's hatchet man Charles Julu ? All i know is Johnson is still alive. I can't find a thing on Julu.
@ 00:54 “had concerns about the...” what the last part?
"..growing number of freed slaves and their descendants"
Good initiative, thank you for the reaserches . However, you do not have to do the voice over yourself if you're not really confortable with it, the channel will gain from you getting someone more at ease with the reading doing the voice over. Please don't get mad, it's just my two cents
Sure no bother. We strive to get 👍
I think his narration is quite good actually so if he wants to continue for doing it there's no problem
AFRISTORY PRODUCTIONS The narration is just fine! Please don't change.
No way!!!
He should definitely keep doing these narratives himself.
@@AFRISTORYNETWORK You keep doing it!! Your voice adds authenticity. I wish this type of well researched history had been available when I was taking poli-sci in the 80s.
My country..... Liberia. Sad history.
"no no Prince, i'll talk" Samuel Doe
He didn't and lost his ears, fingers and toes. Nice!
@@haddingtoniangcp2464 i found that disgusting, but im not Liberian and im sure that this man tortured many Liberians.. I think he should have been handed over to stand trial, because it makes the tortured just as bad as the torturer's.. but like i said it wasnt me or my family members whom this sociopath targeted... Peace!
@@pedrotorresjr2078 he got his comeuppance. A decade earlier, he executed all the previous government's ministers by firing squad on the beach for all to see. Lets not forget also he executed Prince Johnson's right hand man in a foiled coup detat 5 years earlier. And left his body for all to see. So yeah I can empathise with Prince for this butchering.
He was the enemy of the gio people
Shame could have been the Dubai of Africa. While the Americos never reached back out to Black America during the 60s when we were getting killed there is still a relation. Lesson: you're only strong as your weakest link. They should have educated everyone for free. Now look at the place.
These 17 enlisted men, changed the course of our country history. I as an individual supported the coup . But dislike n condemned the after math which included the killing of former Govt. Officials. I condemn it in the strongest term.tgese men should have had their days in a court of competent jurisdiction. But we are free at last
😂🤣
You call being the poorest country in the world free? 🤣😂
The Bishop who was president, was a great man, as was President Taylor.
@@acersterl it's sad how the richest country can be poor. The country who has Gold, Cocoa and the rest you and I know. So why are we still poor? Have Liberian sit and think why this little country of Africa and the oldest of them all has been through so much civil wars? Now, we need to learned from all the past history and do better. Only Liberian in unity can build Liberia again. God bless!
tooo many ads on this channel bro...cmon
I can see Mu7 in this story
You've used this firing range at the beach picture in two videos so far. The other instance was in the Valentine Strasser video.
Now I know where I've seen that one in the Strasser video before!
It was inappropriate for those videos but appropriate for this and that is actual footage of the executions.
Interesting. Freed African slaves from America went back to Africa and thought themselves better than the indigenous people of Liberia and set out to do what was done to them by others.
Literally the same thing is happening in Palestine: the abused have become the abusers.
@@kaizersolze forgive my ignorance, please could you explain what's happeing there? (i don't what to assume to know what u mean)
Gios and Krahns
Sorry about that... - 🇺🇸
Just came from the video where his ears are cut off
Nice aint it?! Got his comeuppance and then some
Read Martin Meredith's The Fate of Africa.
Nice video, well researched, but what accent is that? Maybe a voice actor would do the job better
@@BluesHiroshima westerners are IGNORANT. They automatically THINK you don’t speak English because you have STRONG ACCENT!
Do is glitching out 0:01😂😂😂😂😂😂
Doe first intention was treat equally the African American like the African Native.No slavery in Africa between black and black.
His only problem is the lack of education to direct a big country like Liberia. Your story is biased
@iamkrazybonez Nothing hurt more than a tribe feeling that they are less than another tribe. He became dictator because of his lack of education to govern a big country. This story painted him like a threat
@David Muhammad I think we can workout together if they decide to respect Africa .RESPECT AFRICA
@David Muhammad I believe that nobody was born evil, I think their culture make them not respect Africa. But it is now the time for AFRICA TO GET THE TESPECT THEY DESERVE ... we beileive all human deserve respect. We will never act like the first white who think that black was not human to put.them on slavery. We beileive all.human are human but its time to RESPECT AND RESTAURE AFRICA
@David Muhammad the only way for Africans to be respected is if we take revenge on our oppresors
? He was a puppet. A dumb puppet at that. He got what he deserved and so did Liberia for supporting the 1980 coup(destroyed their own country)
As a Liberian, who learnt both sides of the story, it’s obvious that this guy lacked so much information. And also, his information is one sided. I just advise that you guys do more search before concluding on this video. Long Live Mama Liberia.
Free Black Americans could have went to other African countries as well and assemble among the people there.
Haha they wouldnt have had it that easy
He was moving with the 👺
I question the first statement...America's strongest ally in Africa between 1980 and 1990 must surely have been Apartheid South Africa...
People had lost their brain convolution!

The narrator is in errors. Most of his narratives are false.

From the look of your name, u shouldn’t be laughing about SH!!T

The narrator is kind of low key a little depressing. It would be great if you can speak up a bit and remove the gloomy tone in the voice. Great clip though.
