SIERRA LEONE GOVT VS REBELS
Also called: Sierra Leone Civil War
YEARS: 1994-2000 | DEATHS: 75000
The Sierra Leone Civil War began in 1991, by the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) under Foday Sankoh. Tens of thousands died and more than 2 million people (well over one-third of the population) were displaced because of the 11-year conflict. Neighbouring countries became host to significant numbers of refugees attempting to escape the civil war. It was officially declared over on 18 January 2002.
