One of Liberia’s most notorious rebel commanders has returned home to confess his crimes, saying his fighters killed 20,000 people during the country’s civil war.Joshua Milton Blahyi, also known as General Butt Naked, acknowledges the atrocities in an interview with the Associated Press published this past weekend. Blahyi returned from exile in Ghana to testify before Liberia’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission last week. The commission began hearing testimony on the civil war in 2006 with the goal of establishing a full account of wartime atrocities. (VOA)
