The RUF vs The NPRC

The RUF ( Revoultionary United Front) first big job was the invading and seizing of Kono, the diamond capital of Sierra Leone. In efforts to eliminate the RUF National Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) entered the war with the RUF. The NPRC engaged in a plan called, "Operation Genesis" but the operation was unsuccesful. Results of the attack forced the rebels to launch an attack on the Sierra Leone citizins as an act of indimation to have the voters in the city to help keep the power with the Rebels. The Rebels chopped off hands of Adults, teenagers, children, and even infants and invited the RUF to join in on the presidental election. When the new president was elected, this president signed a peace treaty that would allow the RUF become its own politcal power. Instead of this, the RUF rebels made the Armed Forces Ruling Council (AFRC), which ousted Kabbah. Nigerian officers mility officers were sent to get rid of the RUF's rebels. This did not last long because they came back more envoked and mulated over 6,000 more civilians.
