Huge immigrants

From ancient times to the present, both historical evidence and film and television works have told us the simple truth of "winning the king and losing the enemy". These four words seem to be full of philosophy, but in them, they bear all kinds of inhuman pain.

From Qin Shihuang who burned books and buried Confucianism to Li Shimin who killed his father. Are the most "intuitive" expressions of these four words. However, their cruelty has been weakened under the influence of outstanding achievements. However, those rulers who are cruel and have no outstanding achievements, how miserable can they be after their failure?

The African dictator Doe is the most typical example.

The country ruled by Doe is called Liberia, a small village in western Africa. Although it belongs to Africa, it is only a colony of the United States.

In the 19th century, the plantation economy in the south of the United States seriously hindered the development of capitalism in the north, and the contradiction between the north and the south eventually led to the outbreak of war. The war ended in victory in the north, and a large number of slaves were liberated from plantations in the south.

However, at this time, another difficult problem is facing the United States.

After the liberation of slaves, countless black people have no fixed place and no job, so they can only wander in cities, and some even become beggars. 1822, the us navy and the colonial association jointly established Liberia and managed it as a colony.

1847, in order to save administrative costs and reduce the responsibility of the American government in colonial management, the United States made Liberia independent and the blacks were finally free.

But independence, for Liberia, a country with no management system and chaotic composition, is

The beginning of hell.

Since Liberia's independence, it has been regarded as a "warehouse" for storing blacks. The land area is only 1 1 10,000 square kilometers, but as many as 4.3 million blacks have been "sent back" here. The huge population makes the ethnic contradictions in Liberia more and more obvious. 5% of American immigrants occupy the rich land along the coast, and the vast majority of the rest live the same life as the inland aborigines.

With the development of rubber industry, the inland people of Liberia have lived a slave-like life again. They have to work overtime every day, but they don't get the pay they deserve. Tired and killed things happen from time to time.

This state of life without human rights has caused various ethnic groups in Liberia to erupt constantly from the beginning of independence because of dissatisfaction and oppression.

At that time, President Duberman introduced a series of reform measures to ease the oppression between ethnic groups. However, due to the policy itself, after the implementation, inland ethnic groups began to split, forming a three-level ethnic structure, and indigenous people became the bottom people. This counterproductive measure has further aggravated ethnic contradictions.

197 1 year, the political and economic contradictions between ethnic groups have become increasingly acute. In order to ensure a normal life, the middle class can only go to cities to work, or continue to work in plantations and then receive government relief. A large number of workers poured into the capital of Liberia, among which the resident population increased from 1940 to 12000 and soared to 1976 to 166000.

However, at this time, the bottom indigenous blacks are still repeating the poor life of being oppressed or waiting for death alone. Long-term oppression gave birth to the largest violent rebellion since independence, and also created Doyle, a "cruel dictator" ...

Doyle is a sergeant. He was trained in the United States Army in his early years and was surrounded by many soldiers and cronies. 1980 12 In April, he took his cronies 16 who had followed him for many years and walked into the presidential residence at night. With years of experience as a soldier and physical quality, the patrol sentry was quietly solved.

At this time, the president never dreamed that several soldiers dared to break into his bedroom directly. One minute he was sleeping soundly in the luxurious bedroom, and the next he was cut to pieces by Doyle's broadsword.

Doe declared himself a general and held all the power in Liberia. He called the ministers of various departments, then pushed them to the seaside and beheaded them in public. The bloody execution scene shocked all walks of life. But when people heard about the president's change, they danced with joy. Because the aborigine Doe became president, the people naturally thought that the oppressed life could be changed.

But after what Doe did, people returned to hell with great expectation. After taking office, Doe did not make any achievements in politics and economy, but used almost barbaric means to suppress political opponents.

Doe, who has destroyed his political enemies, is still not satisfied. He began to target the old troops who rebelled with him. Those who gave everything to support him to the top. However, Doyle actually fabricated charges and executed these former cronies for fear of rebellion.

After Doe became a general, he won the strong support and support of many local indigenous black residents. However, as a noncommissioned officer, he only knew Luo Zhi's charges, used his life to stabilize the regime and used his blood to destroy dissidents. He asked nothing else about how to govern the country and develop the economy.

During Doyle's tenure, a large number of local aborigines were used as government officials. As for the former officials, they were either driven out or tied up and shot directly, and their ability was even less important. Naturally, many people oppose such an absurd way of governing the country, and even attempt to overthrow Doyle's autocratic regime. But these coups were brutally suppressed by Doe.

Under the chaotic system, countless people are shot in the streets every day.

Even the position of the director of the tax bureau of the Liberian government was taken away by the fugitive Taylor and his brother when the former director went out to work. When Doyle found out, he accepted Taylor's job gladly.

Taylor was insatiable and took charge of Liberia's finances after being appreciated by Doe. In just two years, Taylor embezzled $654.38 million+00,000. Doyle didn't attack Taylor because he was more greedy. It is conservatively estimated that during his tenure, he embezzled a huge sum of 200 million US dollars and deposited at least 60 million US dollars in foreign bank accounts.

In addition, Doyle also asked all States in the country to celebrate his birthday in turn, and each birthday would cost at least $3 million. Therefore, under the management mode of government officials plundering the people's fat and the president blindly suppressing it by force, during the Doe government's administration, Liberia's gross national product fell by an average of 3% every year.

1984, a large-scale conflict broke out between Taylor and President Doe. Taylor ran away on the spot. Even if he is arrested and imprisoned by the American police, he doesn't want to be caught by the absurd and cruel president.

With the flight of the chancellor of the exchequer, a lot of money disappeared. Moreover, due to the fiscal deficit, the government and civil servants can't afford to pay wages, and the unemployment rate of the people is as high as 50%. Over time, people's lives became more and more difficult, and anti-government guerrillas spontaneously organized themselves, posing a challenge to the Doe government.

1985 In September, Taylor, who was detained in the United States, escaped from prison with several prisoners, sawed off the prison bars and returned to Liberia. On the plane back, Taylor began to figure out how to get the support of the army. It happened that he knew a group of anti-government guerrillas in exile.

Therefore, the two sides reached an agreement to establish the National Patriotic Front of Liberia. Many young people in exile have also been called together for military training. Due to Doe's evil deeds, this uprising against his government has been supported by many forces.

1June, 990, Taylor's soldiers attacked in two ways. At this time, the government forces led by Doyle were directly frightened by the enemy's powerful offensive and force and fled in haste. When Taylor came to the city, only 1 0,000 guards were left.

Doe didn't panic in the face of the rout. He may know that he will have this day, so he sent his wife and children abroad early and the money has been transferred. Doyle today, looking at the food and ammunition in the room, a plan to safeguard the regime has long been formed in his mind.

With sufficient ammunition, even if the city is destroyed and people are in exile, these troops will not break into his presidential palace in a short time.

Indeed, Taylor's army attacked the presidential palace for more than three months, with no result. When the two armies were at war, the people were miserable. Liberia at this time has become a hell on earth. Gunfire was everywhere in the city, workers had already stopped production, traffic and communication were cut off, and the country was paralyzed.

The situation became more and more favorable for Taylor, who bribed the president's subordinates, disguised himself as a friendly army and sent a message to Doyle. In desperation, Doyle thought he had seized the straw and walked into the trap that had been prepared for him long ago without hesitation.

The moment Doyle walked out of the presidential palace, there were countless dark guns secretly aimed at him. Before he could get on the bus, the soldiers of the Patriotic Front had shot and killed him. Doe's guards tried to fight back, but they had no clue. Nearly a hundred people were killed in the scuffle, but soldiers swarmed in and captured Doyle alive.

The arrested Doyle no longer has the dignity when he was president. The dizziness caused by excessive blood loss makes him thirsty, so he needs water to drink. The guard soldier took a glass of blood from his wound and asked him to drink it. When he didn't speak, the soldier pried it open with a dagger. Soon he asked for food again, and the soldier gave him a piece of doe's thigh meat on the spot, pried open his mouth and stuffed it into his stomach.

In order to find out the whereabouts of Doyle's huge sum of corruption, the soldiers began round after round of torture, cut off a finger without answering, and continued to cut without saying anything. After cutting off your fingers, cut off your ears and genitals. He couldn't bear to faint several times, but he was rescued by the doctor's arm.

Of course, only physical pain cannot dispel people's hatred. When they found that nothing could be pried out of Doyle's mouth, they sent Doyle to a small hospital, stripped him naked and put him outside for people to visit. Many working people in inland areas who were exploited by the government came to this small hospital not far from Wan Li to watch the excitement and experience the fate of this once tyrannical and evil ruler.

Finally, Doe stopped breathing amid the disgust and abuse of onlookers. The refugee who knew the news rejoiced in the land and said that he had finally ended his evil life, damn it.

Doe ruled Liberia for ten years. Under the bloodthirsty tyranny, people's lives are like hell. This kind of death without dignity and human rights is also dissolving long-standing subjects. Compared with Doyle, Gaddafi, who was killed in his stronghold, still has some dignity; Saddam Hussein, who was hanged by a military court for killing 143 people, retained at least a few human rights and was buried after his death. ...

Unfortunately, the tragic death of Doe did not end the hard life of the Liberian people. After Taylor succeeded in winning the presidency, he also began to plunder the people's wealth and paste in Liberia, and even promoted bloody rule, just like Doyle's behavior. ...

The wheel of history is rolling forward. Although there will be tyrants like Doyle and Taylor, there are still more things to do. It is precisely because of this that human history will continue to advance.
