Background
The legacy of Liberian warlord Prince Johnson is mixed, depending on who you ask. He inflicted untold cruelty on military personnel and civilians alike. He later claimed to have had a spiritual awakening and converted to Christianity.
Returning to Liberia after years in exile, he became involved in politics, winning a Senate seat and even running for President of Liberia.
However, many felt that this was all a ploy to avoid the consequences of his violent past. Those who were victims of his cruelty were not quick to forget.
