LOCATION: Liberia

Situation:
After internal conflict, Liberia has seen the emergence of large organised criminal gangs consisting of the remnants of previous totalitarian regimes including those of Charles Taylor and Samuel Kanyon Doe.

With the security forces of the Liberian Federal Government crippled by years of infighting and lack of investment in the military infrastructure, two rival gangs in particular have emerged that not only threaten the integrity of the government of Liberia, but also control huge swathes of West Africa's conflict diamonds, as well as drugs en route to Europe from South America via Ghana.

The two gangs, led by Americo-Liberians are styled on gangs native to Los Angeles, but have become far more sophisticated in their capabilities and reach into organised crime in Europe and the USA. This is evidenced by some startling statistics: It is thought that 73% of all Africa's blood diamonds are exported to the West by Boss Mzunga's Westside Massive, whilst Eric Katanga's Freetown Posse control nearly 52% of Europe's Cocaine imports.

It is also thought that between these 2 gangs, they have supplied weapons for most of Al-Qaeda's units in Africa. Due to their huge potential influence on criminality and terrorism in Africa, they are also widely courted by many Western Economic Powers – from arms dealers to pharmaceutical companies who all see the 2 gangs as potential distributors.

These gangs go entirely unopposed, except by each other – though an uneasy truce has been observed between them recently. It is becoming a widespread belief in Western Intelligence Services that the decapitation or destruction of either of these gangs could severely inhibit multiple threats to the West from Africa.
