General Buttnaked and His Redemption


In the early 1990s, Liberia was undergoing a brutal civil war where crimes like sacrificing small children before battle were commonplace.

One man stood out as particularly gruesome: Former warlord Joshua Blahyi, or General Buttnaked, as he was nicknamed, because he would often go into battle, well, naked. His men would either be naked or dressed in women's clothing and wigs. He reported killing >10,000 people during the civil war. Currently he is President of the End Time Train Evangelistic Ministries Inc., with Headquarters in Liberia. A film is being made about his life.
