In order to continue to consolidate the situation and mop up the remaining scattered rebels, a dusk-to-dawn curfew is hereby imposed.

'''Samuel Kanyon Doe''' (May 6, 1951 – September 9, 1990) was a Liberian dictator who served as president of Liberia from his overthrow of [[William Tolbert]] in 1980 until his brutal [[murder]] at the hands of [[Prince Johnson]] in 1990.

Initially serving as the head of a military junta (known as the [[People's Redemption Council]]), proper elections were held in 1985 allowing Doe to assume the mantle of President of Liberia proper. [[Civil War|Civil war]] broke out in 1989 between the Doe government and various rebel factions, and Doe was captured, [[torture]]d during interrogation and executed in a nationally televised display in September 1990.
