  • there seems to be conspiracy to wipe out the black african race by any means possible ,HIV,Ebola,swine flu and many more and worst of all the introduction of judeo christian religion and islam where the native tribes lost their true spirituality and their symbiotic relationship with the nature but in turn were lured in to mining diamonds and other precious resources for materialistic benefits of capitalistic economies of the west,africans need to look more into themselves for their own good

  • why is africa so fucked up? why cant they establish a civilization? they are the only people on this earth struggling like the way they are.

  • th music of the begin?

  • I understand that this was a long time ago but this is very sad people are not thankful for things until they are gone i learned this from experience but not this bad i feel horrible that little inocent kids were literally ripped out of their parents arms. I believe that he should have been killed just like all the other lives that were taken for no other reason but be selfish.

  • Nigeria helped them well so yah.

  • Africa is like this because the other nations want it to be. When UN helps africa they are giving money to someone. No tons of gold and Diamonds comming and making people see this is just a normal metal and stone. So shops get more. I never saw an African made rifle too so someone outside africa is getting money again. Or people think all this help with food, helth care, doctors are free? that is good to someone but not Africans UN don't help just keep the missery alive.

  • I have never heard about this Civil war until my teacher opened my eyes and introduced and actually induct me into a part of history I have never known. Thank you very much because this was VERY educational

  • Serious question: There are more than 7 BILLION people on the earth, why should I care about some group of 7 MILLION people stuck in the middle ages?

  • @marekroman1 YOU ARE SOOOO DUMB!!! This can happen to anyone!!! WHY SHOULD YOU CARE??? BECAUSE YOU CAN BE IN THE SAME SITUATION, OR EVEN WORST ONE DAY!!! I can believe how DUMB, STUPID, AND INSANE people like you can be!! Sreiously??? we are talking about innocent llost lives here!!! May Jesus have mercy on you!! YOU WILL LIVE TO EXPERIENCE WORST!!! Then you will know HOW PAINFUL IT CAN BE!!! RUBISH!!!!

  • @SOSOBLINKful Actually, I don't give a rat's ass about the whole Africa... they can all starve to death and keep chopping off their limbs with machettes, I don't care. Societies like those in many African countries do not deserve to be a part of the modern world... there ya go, I said it and I mean it. How many exclamation marks will there be in your next post? And remember, you have to use at least 27 to beat your previous post. PS: Keep your Jesus at bay.

  • @marekroman1

    Mark my words. Your turn will come. Of course you don't give a rat's ass. You benefit from this but you're so dumb, I don't think you even know that.

  • @tonytalker meh, fake moral standarts are overrated

  • @marekroman1

    Dude, you don't even make sense - stick to watching porn.

  • @tonytalker look who's talking

  • @marekroman1

    go to hell! you're the one who doesnt deserve to be part of ANY aspect in this world!

  • @mcimci727aw fuck off

  • why damm they fight these siere leone people,for what?for dymond?for land?for teritory?Who are of these tragedy?Britain?USA?RUSIA?

  • this is sick i demand some action

  • D: sad...

  • If you want to learn more about the civil war in Sierra Leone, I suggest a documentary called 'The Empire in Africa'. You can find it on Youtube, and it is a little over an hour long. It's fairely recent, it was released a little after the movie 'Blood Diamond'. very insightful, but, be warned, some of the content is extremely graphic.

  • don't blame the white men, this is all about corrupt African leaders and crazy ass rebels who claim they fighting for the people they killing. some stupid ignorant will always wanna blame d white men. what a stupid excuse

  • @veeseee128

    Well in that case neither can 'white folk'.... e.g religious persecution, bankers bonuses e.t. All of these don't constitute as a governed society. And therefore saying that 'black folk' cannot govern themselves is just fucking stupid. The war in vietnam was so sensless it didnt need to happen and who took america there? A white man. Racial Discrimination is so flawed.

  • I dont know what it is but black folks cannot govern themselves properly. they kill and butcher one other in war and severely mistreat one another; no value for human life. if you can cut off another persons limbs; escpecially a babys foot u have got to be a monster from hell. this war was so senselss it didnt need to happen.

  • When i grow up i want to be a liberian warlord

    

  • 06:01 this guy has fucking balls of kryptonite to stand here speaking with his forearms missing. Fuck this is so absurd.

  • when talking to sierraleoneans on my travels around west africa they said the nigerians did alot of terrible things

  • WOW.

  • Congratulation to Sierra Leone because have reach peace. I hope people in government continue the democracy... What a lose of lives and limbs. People like Foday Sankoh must be burned and buried in ocean so nobody can remain them, and theis DNA most be eliminated so no seeds come alive.

  • Read a bite of the mango Powerful as well just the opposite side of the story

  • You sneeky moth*****r!! You know damn well you gave us weapons!! Just like YOU'RE DOING NOW IN LYBIA!! You're behind the scene in all these..You can fool them, but I know your ways..

    Speak truth to Evil!!

  • @DedicatedOne2 Dude, I just gave a kid some guns via the internet. Shit was cool. We Americans have this thing called "GLOBONET", where the average citizen can control every aspect of the world. Yeah, my dad showed me how to supply the Liberians with weapons. That was RIGHT after he developed a new bomb and sent Obama an email telling him to escalate the war in Iraq. Also, all of us make guns in our sheds and basements. Seriously, is this what idiots around the world think of us?

  • executive outcomes a private army for hire ,fixed this mess once and the united nations made executive outcomes get out, and then the un fukd it all up again, the united nations has no back bone, and no guts for making hard decisions.

  • This dog of Sankoh RUF most be burning himself in hell,right now

  • Anyone in America that is a "Gangsta" or how ever you spell it should be sent there. They are all real ass kickers..Right?

  • The 8 people who disliked this deserve a good christian beating. Beat them till they love jesus

  • @idonthaveachair maby they disliked it because of the bad things in it

  • i noticed some of the video clips are from blood diamond..are allthe other videos from movies or news segments? im reading a long way gone by ishmael beah. its amazing and i recomment it to EVERYBODY

  • I disliked it becuase how can you like something that is killing innocent people and forcing children to become soldiers?

  • @kaND3Girl I think people press like because it is good this video was made, and make people aware of these problems - not because they approve the killings, I mean wtf O.o

  • Comment removed

  • @blk24ga

    You aren't truely serious, right? You do know that most of those girls were FORCED into this and you have the balls to call them whores? Wtf is going on in that head of yours man, you are a disgusting little ingrate that can't even think about how this video is affecting others and you go around saying things like that? You're a perverted little bastard who needs to go rot in fucking hell, why are you talking about fucking PORN anyways, ESPECIALLY in the reviews of this kind of video!

  • @Jadedluv12 Where is blk24ga's comment?

  • @conanobrianvomit

    Uh... I guess it's been removed, thank you Jebus!

  • watching War Don Don as I write this comment.....Where was the UN when this shit was happening ??? So much innocent ppl turned into barbarians.......you would think this type of shit would never exist nowadays but I guess that's what happens when you are in the western world....Thanks for this video =(

  • I wonder how can I help the children of these poor countries, I am in the nursing field as a student nurse, someday i'll become an pediatric nurse, and help the babies, orphan and the children. I would like to help someday.

  • where did you get this footage?

  • In my opinion the raw footage of the battles with the sound and everything makes a much better statement and paints a much better picture of these atrocities. If you want to really show the world the ugliness of blood diamonds then don't edit up all the footage.

  • read a long way gone

  • @gabbanellichris AMAZING BOOK!

  • @gabbanellichris best book i have ever read ! !!!1

  • @gabbanellichris OMG!! I READ IT POWERFUL STORY

  • amazing work man really helped with my school assignment thanks :)

  • May his soul never rest in peace.

  • all i saw was a montage of "Blood Diamond" clips with a commentary -_-

  • all u kids that think this a joke, this is what goes on in the real world. the stuff u dont see, and u need to stop joking about these things

  • no thanks to blood diamond?

  • SHIT SHOT

    

  • BOOM HEADSHOT

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG START AT 7.20 MINUTES?

  • @BABBOSERGIO Makambo - Geoffrey Oryema

  • @jpkeenan24 very very very tankssssss my friend , very tanks ..can i do something for you?

  • Why is Pvt. Joker narrating?

  • "never forget the scars of the human heart...otherwise we will all commit the sins unto the innocence of the world"

    "Innocence? Ha! there's no such thing as innocence in humans! everyday, they'll take you into this hell! there's no such thing as a true life..."

    "But who will try to make the change...?"

    "Are you willing to give up everything in your life to stop the corruption of this world for the sake of humanity?"

    which one of you will save the world? cheesy , but probably your last words...

  • This is horrible, disgusting, and so extremely sad. How can human beings be capable of such deeds? Sometimes, being a human embarrasses me. May the children and adults as well who are affected by this war be able to piece there lifes back together. Rest In Peace to all those have died too. We won't forget you.

  • Diamonds Are Forever... Forever... Forever

  • HELLO VERY NICE AND EDUCATIVE VIDEO BUT PLEASE CAN I KNOW WATH SONG START AT 7.10 MINUTES???????????????????????­????? I BECAME CRAZY WITHOUTH THIS TITLE PLEASE HELP ME.......

  • HELLO VERY NICE AND EDUCATIVE VIDEO BUT PLEASE CAN I KNOW WATH SONG START AT 7.10 MINUTES???????????????????????­????? I BECAME CRAZY WITHOUTH THIS TITLE PLEASE HELP ME.......

  • Disgusting.

  • this shit is sad, but I am very happy things have imporved. Africa (sierra leone and other countries) could be a paradise with all the beautiful beaches and the many possible foods that could be grown there. The tropical relaxing weather, i hope to see it become this peaceful paradise.

  • i just read the book about Sierra Leone called A Long Way Gone.

    It was a great book, that made me realizes that there is more going on in the world than i thought.

  • These men where fucking savage people,I wouldn't like to get on the wrong side of them thats for sure.

  • im sorry but the person who commented below me put (lol) WTF IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!!!! i would love to put you in sierra leone and see how you like it

  • "Little is known about Sierra Leone, and how it connects with the diamonds we own." - Kanye West

  • Lol

  • @simongl what is wrong with u???? how can u lol at this????

  • @TheLilrapper17

    Chill lil' dude.. :) It's just funny to me that he's quoting a guy whose diamond collection probably is worth the size of a small country. I'm not loling at the Sierra Leone war, i find it very tragic. But Kanye crying over an industry he probably sponsors pretty well himself, that's just tragicomic gold :)

    But thanks for making me lol again, i forgot all about this post hehe

  • man they did not cencore anything. that was crazy

  • Africa is a failed country.

  • @norxcontacts uhm... ...

  • @norxcontacts It's not even a country. Its a continent. And there are a lot of African countries that have done well for themselves.

  • @norxcontacts Failed comment. Greater hope in Africa as a 'Continent' then in luke warm Western nations. Small improvements are huge in. See those children on the beach at the end. Thats not a fail. Try finding that enthusiasm in some middle school Middle America, or Canada, or Germany, or Scotland.

  • @norxcontacts ur a fail.. africa isn't a country its a continent.

  • oh mother fuckers man did you wash this video . capitalist all you guy are just ignorant it is because of you africa suffer today because of you mother fucker capitalist if someone wear diamond today he can see that someone lose his live because of that someone loose his hand because of that someone loose his family because of that. now think sons of bitch hell are waiting for mother fucker white you at the origin of everything racist,colonist, best guns seller thank you ,you guys

  • this is just standard nigger behavior. it's clear to everyone except brainwashed cunts that niggers are genetically programmed to behave this way. they do it everywhere! niggers even try to behave this way in the West except they're not allowed to own AK-47s and RPGs so they can't quite do what they want

  • @Haitisuxcox I have never seen a more obvious troll. Go learn to have a life.

  • @MP5rules of course i'm an obvious troll but that won't stop people biting lmao. (my life rocks btw, but thanks 4 teh concern lol :-) )

  • @Haitisuxcox go fuck yourself

  • nice job man. funny how this war is so recent and its already called the forgetting war.  don't know why there are racists commenting on this video. or people bringing religion to the matter.. . but good job.

  • fuck u charles taylor

  • God left Africa

  • why would you dislike this? this isnt a comment that i made to get thumbs up. im just wondering,

  • :23 that guys hands are cut off

  • The west,specially america are behind this and all the other things that happen in africa.

  • @sonjatonia its not only us. europe and asia all had interests in the resources. Most of the weapons used in the war were supplied by Russia. But the real fault for these crimes lie with the corrupt government and Forday Sanko

  • @sonjatonia You are an ignorant piece of shit,Who controls the worldwide diamond trade?The Jews,and they have a worldwide monopoly like oil cartels duhhhh!Americans dont want any part of Africa,there are major diamond mines in Canada and they're not controversial.gooo to school idiot!

  • what they didn't mention was there was 15000 rebels and 150 executive outcome agents that's 1:100 and they did it in 4 months that's impressive

  • Fabulous documentary. Brought me to tears.

  • i am from sierra leone living abroad at this time. the key to reducing conflict is in education and social justice. obviously there is a lot of economic interest in the the country's resources. until we can address these issues we would continue to see human suffering all over the world

  • gI was reduced to tears your documentary captures a part of history that should never be forgotten. I was in SL last December and sadly saw the remnants of what you have covered here but also saw the hope you capture. You and the people themselves have inspired me to continue my educational research in this beautiful country.

  • @eleni5521 i agree, it's a totally beautiful country filled with beautiful niggers ... i mean 'people' .....lmao u fucking retard

  • Forgotten war? this is more popular than the korean war. so many died for practically no recognition. everyone knows africa is in conflict. and i still respect and honor for those innocent people and children taking from their homes, but im talking forgotten wars. this war is not forgotten. its looked over. ask anyone if the US fought a war in the mid-50s. now ask anyone if africa is in a state of emergency. im not trying to disrespect anyone but it is a civil war and overlooked by anyone else.

  • @MySongsTasteGood you really aren't establishing a point of view with your comment. Are you saying its a forgotten conflict because it was a civil war? or were you being sarcastic overall and just trolling

  • @walkertexasranger33 no i guess reading it over again i worded the last sentence wrong but im saying that this is definitely not forgotten. what i meant by it being overlooked because it was a civil war was that a war between two countries would result in much more popularity. i was just saying that the title was wrong in a paragraph.

  • this is an amazing documentary especially homemade, kudos to you and i pray that your video has enlightened at least one person, for that is a blessing in itself.

  • i learned something new today

  • Lmao, stupid racists. Who cares who donates more? Stop stereotyping and arguing. The world is getting close to equal and it is people like you that are holding our world back.

  • I hate war and anything having to do with it.

  • Everybody has evil inside them. Races are just stupid

  • Foday Sanko deserved to be ''interoggated'' by CIA...They would have chopped that communist motherfucker to pieces...Like i would do if i had the chance..

  • Dear youtube,

    theres a dislike button on this video

    please fix this error

  • 5 people were the rebelers.

  • i know its wrong and i am not saying that to have them is right but,

    do you think Captian Valentine Strasser didnt see the childrens age as wrong because he was also young. he seems like a bad man but i respect him for hiring the executive outcomes stupid Mandela got rid of them. stupid mandela he is a terrorist

  • 50,000 i believe it was just under 200,000

  • wait is this a nhd submission and if it is did you place?

  • I ALWAYS WONDER WHY OUR AFRICAN BROTHERS DONT TRUST AND LIKE US NIGERIANS,IF WE COULD USE OUR OWN RESOURCES AND RISK THE LIVES OF OUR ELITE SOLDIERS TO BAIL THEM OUT IN TIMES OF CRISES,WHAT ELSE DO THEY EXPECT FROM US??/IS IT A CASE OF JEALOUSY OR ENVY OR WOT??

  • @kceejen

    i completely agree with you (even though i am from england) i think that it is because you are the most powerful african nation so the others are jelous

  • wheres nicholas cage?

  • makes me glad I am white. 

  • @HereWasBob : Following the logic of your rather "simplistic" comment, it makes me glad I am NOT white since Adolf Hitler and Milosevic are both white. Evil comes in all colors, all races, in you and me and everyone, so stop your BS and draw some more intelligent lessons from this documentary instead. Peace to you.

  • @cosmiclove78 You are glad you're not white because two bad dead men happened to be white? Most of the worlds most charitable philanthropists are white, many of whom spent their entire lives helping Africans.

    so go fuck your self.

  • @The1stPoster no, YOU go fuck your dumb mother!!! I didn't want to get into a stupid racial/racist discussion but to hell with it...You talk about charitable work by Whites...how do you think the wealth whites are now enjoying has been obtained and accumulated for centuries and passed on to their descendant who now boast their superiority ??? By plundering and killing Native Americans, Blacks, Indians, Africans and so on???

  • @cosmiclove78 What he said was not that bad calm down, blacks do the same. Dont speak for all whites.

  • @The1stPoster So puleeez, stop talking your nonsense of philanthropy. If this so-called philanthropy you're so proud of was really meant to be helping the poor and most vulnerable, this world would no longer know any hunger, or war. The pieces of crumbs thrown to billions of people you have massacred and starved to death, is this what you call philanthropy? Bull shit!

  • @cosmiclove78 I think he was saying he is glad he isn't African.

  • @HereWasBob makes me extremely proud that i am black. ;)

  • Comment removed

  • is not true , ecomog make big atrocity, they killed children, excuse my english.

    tout le monde a commis ça part d'atrocités pendant cette guerre. oh gog

  • @eboumbou you are correct!

  • ALLTHE RAPPERS AND STARS OF THE WORLD NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO AND MAYBE THEY WONT SPEND MILLIONS ON DIAMONDS...THEY ARE SO IGNORANT OF WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO GO THROUGH BUT BECAUSE THEY NEVER EXPERIENCED THEY HAVE NO IDEA........JAH BLESS

  • God Bless those who helped stop the war. And to Foday Sankoh u shall surely continue to suffer in hell

  • NO one was safe in sierra. The military were just rebels basically as well.

  • Foday Sanko deserved execution

    thumbs up if you agree

  • @willg19953

    my land needs a saviour. (-_-)

  • @willg19953 why because he wanted freedom?

  • @willg19953

    I Disagree

    he deserved a lifetime of imprisonment for all the people he killed and tortured as a right and just way of punishment.

  • @willg19953 he is already dead, no?

  • Ok 3 points i would like to make and i hope to hear your opinions:

    1st: i hate the fact that alot of people blaim the british as they used to own the country, the country begged for independence and they messed up

    2nd: i agree captain valentine strasser who led the military takeover was wrong for using child soldiers but he was the only one who had the guts to hire merceneries so he basicly had the biggest part of the rebels fall

    3rd: stupid mandella has now banned this mercenery group idiot

  • @willg19953 writing stupid and mandela in the same sentence while not in the context of discussing the injustices that were bestowed upon that man is blaphemy and complete ignorance to say the least.

  • @THAWARN no that man is in the same catagory as all of the disgusting corrupt leaders in africa (not saying all of the leaders are bad but some are) he did what he wanted and it was all for fame power and money. how the hell do you explain Mandela FC then, a stupid gang he set up that would go and beat the hell out of whoever they wanted. the man is a terrorist and not too far away from Foday Sankoh

  • @willg19953 the man is a nobel peace prize winner, political activist, and one of the most respected men to ever come out of Africa. What you are saying isn't only disrepectful but completely unfounded and without basis. You sound not only intellectually inept but also devoid of any real sense of self esteem. I suggest you have a quiet moment of reflection, to maybe help you realize how completely ignorant and idiotic you sound.

  • @THAWARN

    i absolutely agree with you

  • how sik are they that they hurt inoccent babies!

  • Can I use some clips for a project ?

  • didint th civil war happen in 2004

  • @msayofemi1

    um.. no

  • Isn't the world a Jolly happy place full of joy.

  • For anyone interested, "A Long Way Gone memoires of a boy soldier" by Ishmael Beah is a REALLY good book about this same topic. Its a autobiography of Beah as a boy living during and being involved in the war. Very descriptive. Very graphic.

  • @prospeedtalker10 Also, a lot of the clips that are in this "documentary" are taken straight from the movie Blood Diamond with Leo DiCaprio (which is a really good movie, by the way).

  • look at all these weapons, where did they come from? the fuckin russians, y isnt there any control over maniacs like these getting ahold of them?

  • @blackjack4700

    From the government

  • @blackjack4700

    they are supplied by chinese, north korean and other african nations and most of the wepons were produced in the soviet union

  • @blackjack4700 because of money

  • This broke my heart...

  • You have to remember that not only were children involved in this war, but 67% of women were forced to be raped by men on both sides. They are a huge part of this too. And they have to undergo just as much theraputic training as the child soldiers

  • black ppl r FUCKED UP

  • @Murderknobz PEOPLE are fucked up. Fucked up people come in all colors, religions and sexes.

  • @Murderknobz don't be such idiot

  • In the US, those child soilders would be "in years of psychotherapy" instead of playing on the beach... O.o

  • i DONT GET INVOLED IN WAR BUT UHH, SIERRA LEONE? This get this shit started bitchies. Wub wub wub wub wub wub, *DURTY ASS DUBSTEP DROP*. Thumbs up for dubstep, bitchies and whores?

  • check the book by ishmeal beah....

  • check the book by ishael beah

  • You did an outstanding job! Beautiful video.

  • must watch:  youtube.com/watch?v=3PRgvZZWTy­s

  • but now sri lanka has peace
