3 War The Liberian civil war erupted in December 1989, when the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, an insurgent organization led by Charles Ghankay Taylor, a former official of the Doe Administration, invaded Liberia from the Ivory Coast, with the assistance of regular soldiers from Burkina Faso, and mass recruits from the Mano and Gio ethnic groups. NPFL forces obtained their training from Libya, and received their financial support from Libya, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, and from Liberian opposition groups abroad.
