By Amos HarrisA controversial figure from Liberia’s violent past has resurfaced in public discourse, issuing a stark warning to neighboring Guinea amid mounting concerns over border tensions. Milton Joshua Blahyi, widely known by his civil war moniker “General Butt Naked,” warned in a viral video that Guinea could face serious repercussions if it refuses what he termed Liberia’s peace overtures. Blahyi’s comments coincide with reports, though largely unverified, of heightened tensions along the Liberia-Guinea border.
