ABSTRACT

Colonel Manyea was left in charge of BTC in late June. Then massive killing started. The killing of AFL soldiers from the other tribes. The Loma and the Gio had a strong presence in the AFL. They became the main victims. From late June. These killings took place every day and every night. Michael Tilly ordered these killings. I worked with Tilly at the freeport. Tilly was brave. Tilly always wanted to be the first in the battle. He was a captain. But he was more powerful than the generals. He was a warrior. He would drink blood from a skull. He would say: ‘Mo Koo. Mo Koo. I am a devil. I am a devil.’ This would happen at night. At the port. He would say: ‘The only way to be a strong warrior is to taste the blood of whom you kill,’ Other brave fighters could see fire in Tilly's eyes. At the port he would kill soldiers who wouldn't fight. The skull he drank from was a very old skull. I saw him drinking blood.
