Joshua Milton Blahyi, better known as General Butt Naked, has confessed to killing 20,000 people in Liberia.  He earned his nickname by leading his platoon charging into battle to terrorize them before killing them.

Blahyi is now a preacher spreading the good word and looking for forgiveness himself.

The civil war, which killed an estimated 250,000 people in this nation of 3 million, was characterized by the eating of human hearts and soccer matches played with human skulls. Drugged fighters waltzed into battle wearing women’s wigs, flowing gowns and carrying dainty purses stolen from civilians.

Before he led his fighters into battle, wearing only a pair of lace-up boots, Blahyi said he made a human sacrifice to the devil.

The sacrifice was typically “the killing of an innocent child and plucking out the heart which was divided into pieces for us to eat,” he told The Associated Press on Saturday. He appeared before the commission Jan. 15.

Blahyi is in Liberia to apologize and ask forgiveness for his past crimes and transgressions.  Liberia has set up a ‘truth and reconciliation committee’ that is basically without power.  Many are calling for a war crimes court not a reconciliation committee.

The committee can’t charge killers with a crime but can possibly recommend charges be brought.

The full story has even more horrifying details of the 250,000 that were killed in Liberia during it’s civil war.
