The Conflict
Problems in Liberia started in 1980 with the overthrow and subsequent execution of its Leader Samuel Doe. Civil war continued till 1995 when as a result of Peace Agreement Charles Taylor became President. In year 2000, border skirmishes with Guinea and battles with rebels erupted and by March 2003, the rebels had reached within 10 kilometers of its Capital, Manrovia. In June 2003, a cease fire was signed between Government of President Charles Taylor and rebels. Since arrival of UNMIL troops in August 2003, significant progress towards peace has been made.
In Liberia, Pakistani troops, deployed in Lofa County, provided humanitarian and medical assistance to 20,000 people. Their approach was explained simply by one of our foot soldiers: "We cannot be eating while the vast majority of the population in hungry."
