    Description

    In this episode, Alexis and Fallon go in on the Liberian Civil War. For those who don't know, Liberia has a long history with the United States and is one of the most direct examples of how damaging ethno-nationalism can be. Besides which, there are many aspects of international conflict that came to the public consciouness because of the Liberian Civil War that you may not know were connected to that event. We discuss child soldiers, "blood diamonds", arms trafficking, CIA involvement in the conflict and much more!
