Samuel Doe's mansion. Doe, Liberia's self-proclaimed president from 1980 to 1990, got into power by killing president Tolbert. In 1990 Doe was killed in a gruesome way by an opponent, Prince Johnson. Doe had a strong tribal link with the area he was from, thus he had a huge mansion built in Zwedru. It was never finished. The place is for sale.
