During the late 1970s Liberia faced a heated civil war in which opposition to the Americo-Liberian and Tolbert government, led to a military coup, organized in part by indigenous tribal members.
•
As this war progressed, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) began attacking Krahn civilians in Nimba and Grand Gedeh Counties, destroying entire communities as they moved through the country.
•
An example of this is seen in several Kru artifacts found in 1979 near Maryland County, Liberia.
•
Present day Krahn are typically found within Nimba, and the Grand Gedeh and Sinoe Counties, as well as Côte d'Ivoire.
