I want to know the answer to the following question:
Why were sanctions place on Liberian timber exports?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In 2003, additional UN sanctions were placed on Liberian timber exports, which had risen from US$5 million in 1997 to over US$100 million in 2002 and were believed to be funding rebels in Sierra Leone.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
