General Butt Naked - Joshua Blahyi 2

THE UNFORGIVEN - Warlord's quest for forgiveness

Joshua Blahyi is an evangelical Christian pastor, preaching peace and forgiveness.

He has more need for forgiveness than most. Under his battle name - General Butt Naked - he was one of Liberia's most infamous warlords, responsible for thousands of deaths, and by his own admission, involved in ritual human sacrifice.

Liberia's new government must decide whether to forgive him and thousands of other ex-combatants, or not.

Is reconciliation the only way forward for such a war-torn and devastated country?

the country is recovering... forget the trials and prosecution.. the country is ill equiped to handle any of such, and anyone who has connection can get ouf with bribes.. everyone should forgive, and work together.. it was a civil war, even the so called USA killed their own race and cousins in their civil war. move on and show what your made off.

@hemlig866 ha, are you being serious, i would not feel safe around someone who just a few years back could so easily mercilessly kill and rape

[hemlig866]

all this ex combatants are already punished. They have to live whit themselves.

If those who were harmed have the strength to forgive them, why are you so weak to deny them forgiveness because they are "repulsive" to you?

[oduro0111]

this is too much. why arent these ex-combatant punished. i am very disappointed in my country ghana foraccepting these combatant as refugees. i do admire that these ex-combatant took the hard step into staying away from their old bad habits and trying to do good as well as showing the new generation of liberians the right way. i still think they should be punished
