14 Aug 1990, Congo Town, Liberia --- Rebels with the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) battle with government forces in Congo Town. Responding to years of government corruption and oppression, in 1989 the NPFL launched a revolt against President Samuel Doe, seizing control of much of Liberia and plunging the country into massive civil war until 1996. --- Image by © Patrick Robert/Sygma/Corbis
