Joshua Milton Blahyi, a member of the Sarpo tribe in Liberia, was a high priest for the biggest god of the Krahn tribe and spiritual advisor to Samuel Doe, who ruthlessly took over the country in a coup in 1980. Joshua became a warlord under the name of General Butt Naked, leading his troops into battle wearing nothing but shoes and a gun. Before battles he would offer a ritual child sacrifice for protection favors from the gods, sharing the heart to eat with his troops. He was responsible for killing thousands of Liberians during the horrible years of their civil war.
