The Kamajors are a group of traditional hunters from the south and east of
Sierra Leone
. They were originally employed by local chiefs, but under the leadership of
Hinga Norman
were used by
Prime Minister
Ahmed Tejan Kabbah
in
1996
to replace mercenaries (
Executive Outcomes
and
Sandline International
, both of whom helped train the force) as the security force of the government. The Kamajors were a part of the
ECOMOG
(a
Nigeria
led force) counteroffensive to reinstate Kabbah in
1998
after
Freetown
was taken by the
Charles Taylor
backed and
Foday Sankoh
led Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (
AFCR
), which was a combination of the rebel
RUF
and the former Sierra Leone Army (
SLA
). Although some point to
diamond
fields (
blood diamonds
) as the real motivating factor of the Kamajors, they continue to play a role in the march toward Sierra Leonean stability.
