Liberia: War Underfoot

My first impression of the picture with all the bullet shell carpeting the street, was how crazy is that? That was so many bullet shells to count. How sad to live in a place where there is war going on right outside the door. I think that I can even see in the background bullet holes in the buildings that are behind the person, not sure if they are stores or actual homes. After googling Liberia in google maps, I noticed that it is a very small place near the coast, located in the west side of Africa. Also, on google website was where Liberia was founded and it states that it was founded by the United States colonization while occupied by native Africans. After watching the video I noticed that the president is a bad president. He is being linked to many crimes in Liberia. Not sure how the U.S. policy around the world affects countries like Liberia? What do you think about the situation?
