Dimitri continues tracking the bloody and complex political intrigues at play in and around 1980s Liberia, including: Charles Taylor’s mysterious “escape” from a US federal prison in 1985, rumors and counter-rumors of US government forces arranging the jailbreak, Doe blatantly rigging the elections of 1985 with US support, the failure of Gen. Thomas Quiwonkpa’s November 1985 coup, the CIA tip-off/“message from God” to Doe that resulted in Quiwonkpa’s defeat and ritual cannibalization in the streets of Monrovia, Samuel Doe’s late 80s anti-neocolonial turn and the collapse of his warm relationship with the Reagan/Bush administrations, Charles Taylor’s murky activities between 1985-1989 in West Africa, meeting President Thomas Sankara in Burkina Faso and training at Gaddafi’s “World Revolutionary Center”, Sankara's socialist transformation of Upper Volta into Burkina Faso and refusal to pay Western debts, and last but not least, Charles Taylor’s pivotal but well-concealed role in the CIA/French-backed assassination of Sankara in October 1987.
