Joshua Milton Blahyi otherwise known as General Butt Naked testified in front of Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission regarding his activities during Liberia’s Civil War. Gen. Naked said he is responsible for 20,000 deaths and urged other former Warlords to come forward:
“I could be electrocuted. I could be hanged. I could be given any other punishment,” the 37-year-old Blahyi said in a weekend interview following his truth commission appearance last week. “But I think forgiveness and reconciliation is the right way to go.
“I have been looking for an opportunity to tell the true story about my life — and every time I tell people my story, I feel relieved.”
Gen. Naked got his name by charging into battle wearing nothing but a pair of boots.
