The revolutionary united front(RUF) can be compared to many of the terrorist groups that exist today and that is making alot of changes in the world and at different countries. The AL'QAEDA group also known as the shadow army this group can be compare like the RUF not only because they went to sierra leone and buoght diamons so they can use them to get the guns that they have now and used them to attack the twin towers, they are known as the shadow army because they can get into any places without the law authority to know they there and could plan what they going to do such as the R.U.F. the RUF could get into many places an attack were ever they wanted because they had the people and a good general that got the rebels to kill so many people. the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC)this is know as the people army from colombia, but has had many prisoners that has been a target to get them not to get what they dont like, such as political , and dislike them thats how the farc group runs and how they have run over colombia for more then 40 or less years.

1. The industrial revolution and the rise of capitalism sparked a big interest in the African imperialism during the 19th and the 20th century because they wanted to conquer the African lands and get all of their goods such as diamonds, and more of their natural resources.

4. The imperialism had a big role although that the imperialism let to a civil war it left the African country in a big damage of chaos that was a big thing that make the rebels fight to get what they have lost during imperialism. The rebels wanted to own all of the diamond mines and hurt many of its population and make them work and when ever they did some thing wrong they will cut their hands or kill them
