Hundreds of people gathered Friday in rural Liberia for the state funeral of the controversial former president, 35 years after his assassination, part of the country’s ongoing reconcilliation efforts over its violent past. Doe’s brutal 1990 torture and murder were an early turning point in the country’s two civil wars, which killed around 250,000 people and ravaged Liberia’s economy. Matthew Jacobs/AFP via Getty Images
