提起利比里亚,不少人都熟悉这个位于非洲西部的小国家的名字。使它在世界上扬名的不是它仅有的11万平方公里土地和250万人口,而是当年的17名士兵发动流血政变一举成功的新闻:因为虽然非洲黑色大陆上政变频仍,但10多个士兵政变成功尚属首例。人们在惊诧之余,对登上国家元首宝座的黑色军士塞缪尔·多伊给予了过多的关注,似乎是想看看这个30岁的上士总统能玩出什么样的魔术。 Lifting up Liberia, many people are familiar with the name of this small country in western Africa. Rather than making its name in the world not only for its 110,000 square kilometers of land and 2.5 million people, the 17 soldiers of that year made a success in launching a bloodshed coup: for although more than 10 civilians have been politically active in the black continent of Africa, Soldier coup is the first success. While astonished, people gave too much attention to Samuel Doy, the black sergeant who boarded the throne of the head of state, as if to see what magic the 30-year-old Sergeant could play.
