Monrovia, Liberia (CNN) -- A dried-out swimming
pool, 300 empty rooms and destroyed elevators. The Ducor Palace Hotel,
once the most exclusive hotel in Liberia, is now just a shadow of its
former splendor. But the floors still have marble and the view over the
capital Monrovia is worth climbing the 15 flights of stairs.
There are many bullet
riddled and bombed out buildings like the Ducor Hotel in Liberia. They
are grim reminders of the brutal 14-year civil war that devastated the
West African country and killed an estimated 250,000 people.
