Christa Stuber reports on the peaceful coexistence of the foreign employees and their family members with the locals at the Bong Mine, a mining settlement in Liberia/West Africa with a German majority. From 1985 to 1990, she experienced how, after President Samuel K. Doe seized power in 1980, the ethnic conflicts in the country gradually came to a head until they escalated in 1990 and resulted in one of the most violent civil wars of the 20th century. Protagonists report on their experiences with the rebels, the evacuation of employees by the German Air Force and finally the sad end of the Bong Mine.
