In the early 1990s it came to a head and the slaves threw the black slavemasters out (after killing many of them).

You might recall the news photos of them being tied-up to posts along the beach and shot.

I do! I believe that scene may have been featured in one of the “Faces of Death” movies...

From 1999:

“FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — After the rebels had fled into the surrounding hills, Lamine Jusu Jarka was carried to the main hospital here one morning in January. A young man named Mr. Junior, wearing a shirt that declared “C.O. Cut Hands,” had chopped off his arms with an ax.

“I felt as if I am finishing the world,” Jarka recounted from the hospital floor where he lay at the time, surrounded by the legless and armless, as his niece fed him biscuits to stop him from slipping into unconsciousness.

Half a year later, as a fragile peace agreement has stayed the fighting in one of Africa’s cruelest wars, Jarka is still alive. He lives with his family in a makeshift camp for amputees here in the capital, along with hundreds of other men, women and children who are missing a leg, an arm and sometimes, like Jarka, both arms.

The residents of this camp lost their arms and feet to a rebel force that spread terror among Sierra Leoneans not by killing but by leaving people like Jarka as living, limbless symbols of its savage power. The campaign worked.”

I remember reading about this; the rebels would line up the villagers by the chopping block and ask each one in turn: “Long sleeve or short sleeve?”. If you said short sleeve, they cut you above the elbow; long sleeve was closer to the wrist (and probably better for a prosthetic - for both hands, since they cut off both). I would do horrible violence to keep people like this away from my loved ones...

“Thomas Quiwonkpa, the former Commanding General of the Armed Forces of Liberia whom Doe had demoted and forced to flee the country, attempted to overthrow Doe’s regime from neighboring Sierra Leone. The coup attempt failed and Quiwonkpa was killed and eaten.”
