El contexto está en alemán, pero dice que Hekmatiar (un jefe talibán) ordenó perpetrar atentados contra soldados alemanes. Este (Hekmatiar) es uno de esos «Warlords» que no ven con buenos ojos el gobierno de transición.

señor de la guerra.
Explanation:
Hello,

Well, that is what they called the ones in Ethiopia and in Liberia, so I guess these ones are the same.

señor de la guerra


Explanation:
"Y porque parece que no hemos ganado nada, que los señores de la guerra siguen tomando las armas, quizá porque hay demasiado mentiroso envainando banderas como si fueran razones, como si no se vieran sus espadas desplegadas."

"Los europeos, los japoneses y la mayor parte de los regímenes árabes dieron su aquiescencia y colaboraron decididamente, incitando a los señores de la guerra civiles estadounidenses y a los ideólogos de hoy a elaborar, ya a partir de 1992, documentos que describen la dominación mundial."

señor de la guerra


Explanation:
Es un término inglés. Estoy seguro que se traduce como "señor de la guerra".

En la web de referencia hay un artículo de la guerra de Afghanistán donde sale el término "señor de la guerra".
