Thank you brother. This is really a so-called world crimes court. What type of court is that? This court only arrested Mr. Taylor and left others who committed same/worst crimes than Taylor unarrested. Myabe the whiteman think that we are stupid around here. Please note that Mr. Taylor is being prosecuted today because he did not kiss the asses of both George Bush and Tony Blair and not for the crimes that he was accused of committing. I bet, if Mr. Taylor had given the whiteman some pieces of Diamond/gold or had bowed to these guys, he would had been a freed man today. Who told you that the whiteman cares about how many blackman that die. One thing that I have noticed is that for everytime there is a smart blackman, the whiteman will always try to eliminate such person. Let us take for example, Nelson Mandela, was he violance? He was prosecuted anyway. I do not really know why the whiteman continued to be disrespectful to us blacks. We were all created equal in the sightful eyes of God Almighty but have been looked at by the whiteman as a Devil. I have and continued to pray to God Almighty that upon his return, he should take the power from the whiteman and give it to us so that we can have them prosecuted too, and even if they should paint themselves black to be look like us, we will still remember them. Freedom is coming soon and very soon.
What happens to Ellen Sirleaf,Tipoteh,Fahnbulleh,Dew mayson,Harry Greaves,Alhaji Kromah,Goerge Bolay and others?
\ Must Taylor bear the burdens alone?Please let there be a war crime court established for all of them.
May God judge them.Amen.
May the God of venegance answers the cries of innocent blood crying in the grave.
May the God of wrath visit these evildoers.
Charles Taylor's trial for world crimes does not prejudice the Liberian people crying for his subsequent trial for crimes against the Liberian people. Indeed his present trial is not only against Sierra Leoneans but against the civilised world. Eating human flesh for which Liberians had long been known for in the region is uncivilised and this impunity must stop. You don't have to say yes to kissing arses before you are considered civilised and non-criminal. It is just decent not to harm other human beings in the way Charles Taylor did and would have done to any one disagreeing with him, even his vice-president Blah.
Taylor was the mastermind to all these warcrimes and must be held accountable. He was in a position of authority and could have stopped the eating of human flesh, and other gruesome rituals and genocides.The Black on Black atrocities must stop and we have to stop the madness about accusing the whiteman for the problems of Africa. We are our greatest enemies and must assume the responsibility of ending the violence against each other and the lack of respect shown one another.
I’m quite, understanding the feeling of the first writer, the need for justice and get away from impunity in Liberia.
I ‘m asking all Liberian to support TRC in other for us to get some sort of justice, in Liberia, is important that all what happen in Liberia, is put to book and set example for people responsible the crimes committed against our people.
For us to get justice, we need, first support the work of TCR that will outline who to be punishes and to be free.
Liberian are suffering for many reasons but if put in place good institution that will be able to implement good governess and respect of rule of law, we will see justice one day. Poverty, corruptions, tribalism and impunity has taken over everything in the country consequently we don’t care anymore, look at issue with the musician who has been accused of atrocities but still link to the some people more or less to the president, and the wife Taylor, featuring in front page this weeks, saying all kind of things that she did, when her husband was committing atrocities against the people of the sub-region, she even indicted the president for Taylor to be stand for trial.
I believed media should stop given chance to people like her, because they are playing with Liberian people and makes people discontented, after all what they have done to the people, please front page if you maintain this kind of reporting or interviews you may mislay more then you gain.

Mr. Charler Taylor's trial in the so-called world court in he Hague has become a mockery to the enite justices and the world at large. How can people who commited hinious crime against humanity consider witnesses when infact they themselves were worst than Taylor in the exection of the wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone? What can really Moses Blah and all of the officials who directly worked with Taylor tell anyone now anything positive other than to exonerate themselves and go free with impunity. The court needs to exercise justice on all of the people who commited crimes against humanity from 1980 up to the end of the wars in Liberia and Sierra Leone or not exist at all.
