between July 12 and July 14, 1990, Liberia --- A human skull is attached to the grill of a car used by the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL). 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
