10 Jun 1990, Liberia --- A young boy from the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) rides his bicycle down a street with an assault rifle draped over his shoulder. 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
