Dear Mr. Editor, It is indeed wonderful to see justice in play but most times justice is indeed hidden when it comes to some personalities. In this light,there are many who are even worse than Chalse Taylor why are they not persecuted? I hope president R.MUGABE should also be called to subscribe for his own leadership. There are several others let us dont be macavellian in our attribution of justice. Thanks, Paul Turay

Readers should watch out; in the coming months lunatic, murderer, bloodsucker Mugabe will also be the target of Zimbabwe Exiles Forum to be brought to the ICC for trial for crimes against humanity. Whilst Taylor committed his crimes during civil wars, bloodstained Mugabe committed his crimes during a peaceful time, which makes the crimes more premeditated - which calls for tougher penalties.

Activists in Africa should get united to pursue all dictators everywhere on the African soil.

Only the the spineless,brainless,lowminded people will be proud to be advocates of the sadist BLOOD MONGER CHARLES TAYLOR's butchery,cannibalism and inhumanity to his human kind for which he is on trial at the Hague, as something or someone in the best LIBERIAN national interest to personalize and to morally support.Taylor is lucky to receive the justice he denied a million times to his defenceless victims in both LIBERIA and SIERRA LEONE.He is extremely lucky to pick and choose "being chained around his waist"and talking about "degrading" treatment, damn it!As far as Taylor is concerned he should be roped around and lynched up on a huge cotton tree (not the cotton tree in freetown because we dont want his evil blood stain on our noble tree)for both LIBERIANS AND SIERRA LEONEANS to take their turns on him.To attempt to compare ex-president Kabba to the CHARLES manson president(CHARLES TAYLOR) shows there are still NPFL rebel functionaries out there in our midst.The people who are now advocates for justice and moderation for NGANGAY TAYLOR,where were they when the rest of LIBERIANS were running away from this man,and others were dying for no just reason simply because the monster Taylor was freaked and blood thirsty.We never heard their summon then.

I WISH TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU THAT THIS SITE IS FOR OPINION BUT NOT ABUSING OTHER FOR THEIR OPINION.WHERE YOU RIGHT ENDS OUR BEGIN FROM THERE.I AM ONE OF THOSE YOU ABUSE. LET US NOT USE THIS MEDIUM FOR PERSONAL FEELINGS.I WISH YOU WILL APOLOGY TO ALL OUR US WHO YOU HAVE ABUSE FOR OUR COMMENTS AND I PRAY THE EDITORS WILL READ AND MAKE HIS COMMENTS.

The former President, Charles Taylor used forces to cut the young future leaders of Sierra Leone arms, and he shouldn't be given too of rights. He is a number one crimer in the history of West Africa. Those that their arms were cut were not given any justice reason, therefore Taylor shouldn't be given any fair justice in the Hague. Every properties he ever owned should be taken away from him and he should die in jail. Let justice be done to poor children and men of Sierra Leone.

Thanks

THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF LIBERIA MR. CHARLAS TAYLOR,WHICH WAS A LEADER OF THIS COUNTRY IS NOT PROVEN GUILTY YET SO LET HIM BE TREATED WITH CAUTION UNTIL HE IS GUILTY.THOSE WHO SPEAK AND ASKED FOR FORMER PRESIDENT TO BE TREATED AT THE WISH OF THE COURT OR JAIL SHOULD FIRST CHECK THEMSELVES BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAID " JESUS TOLD THE MEN WHO WERE STONING THE WOMAN THAT IF YOU HAVE NO SIN BE THE FIRST TO THROW A STONE." MY QUESTION IS DID ANYONE THROW A STONE? WELL IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE ANSWER I WILL TELL YOU. IT IS NO.I AM NOT BACKING HIM IF HE DID IT OR NOT BUT WE AS LIBERIAN SHOULD KNOW THAT MR.TAYLOR IS PART OF OUR HISTROY AND WILL FOREVER BE.IF WE AS LIBERIAN MAKE HIM GUILTY BEFORE THE TRAIL ENDS THEN WHAT WILL OTHER COUNTRIES DO. LET LOOK AT IRAG AND PRACTICE LOVE LIKE THEM. WITH ALL THE EVIL THEIR PRESEIDENT DID TO THEM, THEY ARE STILL REVENGING FOR HIM ON THE AMERICAN.

You have no justifiable proof that Charles Taylor's forces were involved in cutting the hands of Sierra Leoneans. Taylor's fighters raped, looted and killed innocent civillians, but cutting people's hand was not their trademark. This is why he will not be found guilty in the Hague base on what is obtaining from the so call witnesses at the court. Sierra Leoneans are wicked towards one another, they cut off their own people's hands and legs. How many Liberians do you see their hands or legs cut in Liberia?

Saye, Do you know that the former president, Pres. Kaba is walking FREELY in Sierra Leone and he he too committed the VERY same crime Mr. Taylor is said to have committed???

Why isn't him in jail??

Noko4

PRESIDENT KEBA IS STILL WALKING FREE BECAUSE HE IS NOT WANTED BY THE AMERICAN. THE AMERICAN FEEL THAT THEY ARE SENIOR BROTHER AND THEY CAN TREAT ANY COUNTRY AS THEY WISH.IT IS FORMER PRESIDENT TAYLOR TIME, THE OTHER WILL FOLLOW ONE DAY.I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT MY BROTHER.

We know that the sayes are from nimba. Not acusing the people of nimba, I think saye should be thanking charles taylor for ousting the doe's regime. Cuz you (saye) know what was going on back there when doe was reducing the fulture leaders of nimba.In fact Taylor was never on the battle front fighting it was the sayes, dokies,payes,gonkanus, and so on.But what we are trying to say here is that these were the same people who migrated to sierra leone to loot and suffer the people there i think you know zigzag manza if the spelling is right.So you should close your betrying mouth,and stop writing nonsense here.

Taylor is answering to the crimes he committed in Sierra Leone. Taylor and his boys strategy was simple. Terrorize the people of Sierra Leone, kill them, cut off the hands of babies, men, women, and children, seize territory (the Kono diamond fields), illegally mine the diamonds of another sister country, then sell the diamonds in Europe, buy arms from European mafia, give the arms to the Payes, Sayes, Dokies, Gonkanus, Wonsoleas, send them back to Sierra Leone to seize more diamond fields. Liberia should not, could not, will not, must not protect Mr. Taylor for crimes he committed in Sierra Leone while serving as President of Liberia. Mr. Taylor went beyond the mandate of the Liberian people, that is, to lead the Liberian Nation and not to go to another sovereign country with gangs, boys soldiers, to steal diamonds by committing heinous crimes in a foreign country. Forget about Taylor. He is in the hands of civilized White and Black people. They will subsequently try him the right way and if he is found guilty he will stay in jail until he dies. Some people in Liberia are dreaming that Taylor will come back. When Leopard (white people) catch goat, goat will never come back to town. This is the case with Taylor. He is in the hands of Leopard. He will never come back alive. Imagine the carnage this man unleached on the Sub region. He and his boys killed over 250,000 people in Liberia and looted every home in the country. He also killed about 200,000 people in Sierra Leone not to mention the atrocities he and his boys committed in Guinea and Sierra Leone, then you say he is comming back. To do what? Commit more atrocities? Give me a break. Leopard got him and he will stay in Leopard hands.

Dear readers, I am joining this site to comment about injustice done in Africa by white people.

My question is this? . Are only Taylor, Bemba and Lubanga from Congo who are supposed to be jujed? What about Kagame in Rwanda who killed millions of congolees and burundians who were refugees in Congo? . What about ex-president Pierre Buyoya of Burundi who killed innocent burundians in between 1988 and 2003. All these guys are still in circulation without any arrest. So now we begin to dougt the aim of the international tribunal, if it there to juge only a certain category of leaders. Mwendwa congo

Sadly, most of the comments on this issue are wrongheaded; juridical balloney, period and square.

As I understand it, the law of the West presumes that an accused criminal is deemed "innocent until proven guilty, BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT." Reading through the comments, the shadow of specific details of the prosecution's case in brief is not even whispered, much less articulated. Yet that body of evidence exists, and it exists in a supreme judical form: it exists as a product of judical oath and robust cross-examination by the defense. Yet, none or only some of it is reported in the comments.

Worse: there is a defense version of the alleged acts sired by defendant Taylor; that version is ignored.

Now, the public can "convict" a defendant: but that will not happen in a court a law. Hence, most of the comments on this topic are emotionally founded rantings; not that there is anything wrong with that; massively erroneous, however, is the presumption that one's OPINION on whether Taylor is guilty or not as charged could be reasonably determined in a Forum.

Grow up, dudes!

I couldn't agree more.

Jebeh, are you a Liberian?or if you commit a crime should you be punish before you are guilty?he are not asking for former president Charlas Taylor to be free but for fair trail and he should be treated right until he is guilty.leave it or take it former president Charlas Taylor is part of our history if you are a Libebrian.Are you a christian? if you are the Bible said judge not.Let him be found guilty and them see him punish.should all the African presidents be punish because one way or the other most of them even committed crimes.my brother Former president is a human like you and have children who need him.let speak with love.There are other war-lords living in their country moving freely.

SAYE PLEASE CHECK YOUR COMMENTS AFTER WRITTING FOR MISTAKES AND MIS-SPELLED WORDS. WILL IT MAKE YOU HAPPY IF FORMER PRESIDENT IS KILL AND WHAT WILL BE YOUR BENEFITS? YOU SHOULD KNOW YOU ARE A HUMAN AND NOT GOD.IF YOU COMMIT A CRIME TODAY DO YOU WANT TO BE JAIL FOR LIFE WITH OUR GETTING FAIR COURT TRAIL?IF SOMEONE COMES OUT AND SAY THAT YOU RAPE HER SHOULD YOU BE GIVEN LIFE IMPRISONMENT WITH OUR TRAIL? THINK.

It's sad for people to believed that former president Charles Taylor cut off the hands of citizens of Sierra Leone.Even as much as I don't like him ( Charles Taylor)he did not order Sierra Leonean to cut off the hands of their people. He did not order the cutting of Liberian hands by the NPFL, how could he have order that in SIerra Leone? The people of Sierra Leone should remember that their people started fighting in Liberia long before fighting started in Sierra Leone. Citizens of Liberia was killed by people from Sierra Leone in early 1990 and there after. I was in Kakata when NPFL enter in 1990 I saw what the Sierra Leonean was doing to the Liberian people at the time. Even those Sierra Leonean fighting along side the AFL in 1990 as well.

Even in 2003, there were Sierra Leonean fighting in Liberia as they did in the 1990s.Therefore, Sierra Leonean should take responsibities for what happened in their country instead of holding Mr. Taylor for their actions against their own people.

Sir, I agree with most of your points on this issue. Of course, I shall not, better, I REFUSE to psychologize an issue, not to mention a population.

I do not know whether or not Taylor ordered hand and limb chopping by the RUF in Sierra Leone; I do know, however, from court records and eyewitness accounts, that the RUF did chop off hands and limbs of Sierra Leoneans, and probably others.

The issue is complicated: first, it is a historial fact that Government of Sierra Leone DID permit and enable ECOMOG to bomb the territory of Liberia by planes that took off from the territory of Sierra Leone.

If the Liberian Government viewed the bombings by ECOMOG as acts of belligerency, then, eo ipso, the Govermnent of Sierra Leone, from the Liberian perspective, must be viewed in the same light, and she was thus regarded.

The Government of Liberia adopted and acted on the view urged.

Now, whether or not the Government of the Liberia used the RUF as a Sierra Leonean fifth column in its "undeclared" war with the Government of Sierra Leone is debatable: nonetheless, my view, based on the Libyan connection and court testimony at the Taylor trial in the Hague, is that it did.

Hence, I have argued elsewhere that the RUF "invasion," was not a civil war; rather it was a war between the Government of Sierra Leone and the Government of Liberia.

I await a opposing point of view or a more nuanced interpretation of the known historical facts.

Take good care of yourself.

First, Taylor did not have to give a specific orders for RUF to cut off the hands of Sierra Leoneans to be held responsible, just as he didn't have to give specific orders for all the heinous crimes his NPFL committed on Liberians; he simply created that anarchical environment by providing logistical, financial and intelligence supports and the motivation to those two groups, more or less. For that reason, he is responsible for any and everything the RUF did in Sierra Leone. As for your speculation that the Liberian government had possibly declared war on Sierra Leone because that country had allowed Ecomog to launch attacks on Liberia from its soil, that arguement is mute because at the time of the Ecomog attacks, Charles Taylor had not been elected president and Ecomog was simply enforcing peace in the country. He had no reason for making a retaliatory attack or invasion of Sierra Leone. There were no Ecomog attacks after Charles Taylor was elected president in 1997. Charles McArthur Taylor is on trial in The Hague for crimes he committed while president of Liberia and not for those he committed for nearly eight years because those were forgivened by one of the Liberian Peace Agreements. By the way, I care less about how Charles Taylor is treated in The Hague because no matter how you look at it, he is still getting a better deal than those victims of his ascend to power. I hope this was helpful.

Unfortunately, I find your speculative flight to be crushingly unhelpful.

First, the Government of the territory of Liberia, whether led by Tubman, Tolbert, Doe or whoever, has the RIGHT AND AUTHORITY to respond to perceived unprovoked attacks from any territorial or national state ANYTIME, whether the attacks rocked ten years ago or yesterday, which REFUTES your argument that Taylor was not the head of the territory of Liberia when the ECOMOG attacks rained ---an argument which limpishly attempts to refute an argument you falsely characterize as "speculative," but, on evaluative grounds, could be more level-headedly characterized as allegedly grounded on a historically infirm fact.

Accordingly, you are the one SPECULATING, and very badly, to boot: worse than Hegel. Speculating, you are, on the strategies and tactics available to states, whether they be territorial, as Liberia, or national, where their current or future leaders perceive an unprovoked INTERNATIONAL attack.

If I am not home, and some miscreant attacks the sancticity of my residence, my "privacy", does not that mean that I cannot bring a cause of action of action in a court with proper jurisdiction against, from my perspective, "the miscreant," but from the perspective of the law, "the accused"?

Your groundless jurisprudentrial opinion that Taylor could be convicted for the alleged slaughter of Sierra Leoneans and Liberians (by which I mean populations of those territorites) by creating conditions enabling the alleged crimes, needs no refutation FROM me: read the transcripts of the trial at the Hague; and when you find therein your Holmesian legal doctrine among the documented legal strategies of the team of attorneys prosecuting Taylor, then we will take it from there.

NOW, THIS IS A SPECIFIC CHALLENGE. UNLESS YOU SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS IT, the correspondence ossifies ON THIS ISSUE.

And, before we get lost in the thicket of unproductive verbal gymnastics, may I remind you that I claim that there was no civil war in the territory of Sierra Leone then occupied by the soupist state criminal organizations called the SLPP and APC, whose 'differences' are a strategically posited web of lies to obscure their substantial identity, AND the territorial Goverment of Liberia.

Sir, first, Liberia is not a territory as you wrongly stated above, “…the government of the territory of Liberia…” but a nation. Secondly, why would Taylor attack Sierra Leone because that country allowed Ecomog which, by the way, both countries are members of, especially when Taylor was a rebel trying to unseat an elected president at the time of the attacks? By even insinuating that Taylor had any moral or legal grounds upon which to attack, support RUF or invade Sierra Leone is once again a feeble attempt to give undue credibility to a rather ruthless savage bent on capturing and pillaging as much territories as possible for his own benefits. If you have been following the TRC hearings, like I certain you have, currently taking place in Monrovia, then you would have known that both Taylor and Sankor were cellmates in a Freetown jail months before the rebel incursion in Liberia. In fact, it is said that the NPFL attacks on Liberia should have been launched from Sierra Leonean soil, but because Joseph Momo refused to get onboard, the plans were changed to move the launching pad to the Ivory Coast. You and I don’t know what those two would be rebel leaders discussed in that jail cell, but I’m certain that whether or not Econog had decided to launch its aerial attacks on rebel targets in Liberia from Sierra Leone or somewhere else, the plans to destabilize that country was already hatched in that jail cell years before the invasion or his support. As far as I can see, Charles Taylor supported RUF or invaded Sierra Leone himself for two reasons: to revenge his imprisonment and to claim the country’s vast gold and other resources for himself. You ask, “If I am not home, and some miscreant attacks the sancticity of my residence, my "privacy", does not that mean that I cannot bring a cause of action of action in a court with proper jurisdiction against, from my perspective, "the miscreant," but from the perspective of the law, "the accused"? My only answer is that if the residence you call home was not yours to begin and that you drove away or killed its rightfully owners to occupy it, then you no legal or moral grounds upon which to even be angry. You are simply reaping what you sowed.

Choppie: "...Liberia is not a territory...but a nation." ___________________________________________________________

And the evidence adduced for this most dubious proposition? Why? None. The presumption of ignorance is therefore warranted: the author ignorantly posits a proposition that is clearly contestable, fails to re-cognize its contestability, and sails into the troubled ocean of nonsensical deductions. If you ask the author to tender a definition of a nation, eyeballs in this website know his answer: check out Webster's dictionary!

___________________________________________________________ "Jallohlaw: "Liberia---which, by the way, is also ruled by a soupist occupier state---IS NOT A NATION, BUT A TERRITORY OR A COUNTRY."

Every reader who has followed my writings on this issue, whether he or she agrees or no, KNOWS that I have posited definitions and arguments in support of my contention. Every reader, that is, EXCEPT THE SELF-PROCLAIMED STALKER AT ALLAFRICA.COM.

Since your thread completely and transparently fails to join issue with the posting to which it allegedly responds, I shall dismiss it as strategically UNRESPONSIVE. Accordingly, it deserves no response from me. Any careful reader can easily ascertain that you are not responding to my arguments. And, in my opinion, you are not a careful reader.

I disagree with your interpretation of the TRC report. But even if I did not, you have failed to offer a single argument to refute my thesis that the soupist occupied territory of Sierra Leone experienced in the relevant period a war between the soupist TERRITORY OF LIBERIA and the equally soupist TERRITORY of Sierra Leone.

Of course, you are free to praise or denounce Taylor; you have chosen to denounce him. Just remember that your "nay" is easily matched by a "yea" by the followers of Charles Taylor in the territory of Liberia, from which you allegedly hail.

If this is your best shot, given your chest beating about "dealing" with 'jallohlaw", retool HOMEY, in the name of Zeus!

En passant, I am sure that readers would be amused by your definition of a nation, given the plethora of 'tribes' inhabiting the TERRITORY of Liberaia. Please, don't let them down: tender your definition, and please don't abuse their intelligence by sending them to Webster's dictionary. Should you call on Webster, do your readers a favor, please: systematically apply Webster's definition to the territory of Liberia, the 'home' of xenophobic 'tribes,' similar to the soupist occupied territory of Sierra Leone..

A conclusory assertion would be an insult to the readers of this website, which is not a site of dogmatic pronouncements, but a site of argument for contingent propositions.

Sir, first, don't flatter yourself, no one else is following your gibberish but me. And the reason that I decided to rhetorically stalk on this site is because of that false sense intellectual superiority that I discerned from your postings; that somehow you felt like yours was the voice of reason. Thirdly, I have given you definitions of what a nation and a territory is, albeit from Webster. The reason being, and for the millionth time, is that I agree wholeheartedly with those definitions and I have no reason to challenge them. Finally, sir, I refuse to debate semantics with your or any one else on this site or, for that reason, nowhere else. Once again, this site is for us discuss issues affecting our beloved NATION, Liberia.

By the way, sir, you might want to revisit anywhere on this site, where you made a posting, there is a proverbial sledge hammer from me waiting for you there.

I really fnd this dude to be A JOKE: a joker from the SOUPIST OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF LIBERIA.

He is so full of himself he projects his desires into my "soul," which the arch irrationalist claims he "knows."

Morever, he claims that no one is following the verbal cleansing he gratuitously triggered. Silly: I have tons of emails, congratulating me for finally, as one of your interlocutors put it, bulldozing the "pompous Chap." And, if you disagree, Mr. African from the TERRITORY OF LIBERIA, PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE THAT no one is following your diremption on allafrica.com. If you don't produce it, no reader will be surprised, for your mendacity is by now ubuquitous and perspicuous.

Are you so dense that you cannot perceive that all substantive issues are semantically and syntactically grounded? But why waste my breath, when a quick glance at your chicken scripted texts reveals an intellect incapable of sustaining the labor of reflection.

If I were to list all your grammatical and idiomatic bluners, the oceans of planet earth would become bones.

Mister, even a bloke knows that you are intellectually challenged. And, how so, you ask?

First, you cannot write grammatical sentences. That alone throws you out of the ballpark, across the street, and beyond the houses on the street, hurling you squarely in the ocean obscrutatism.

Second, you want to debate issues that are above your head: when you are cornered by your own pride, you cry like a baby: "jallohlaw" thinks he is "intellectually superior." Silly. Jallohlaw' never talks about his intellectual powers: 'jallohlaw' writes and writes and writes.

You yaba yaba 'race,' but you know not what you yab about, for you have evaded, as is your habitus, my request that you tender the evidence of your ontological OPINION that there ARE 'races.'

And now, onto serious business: you lift Franz Fanon, the irrationalist "existentialist," without paying your intellectual respect. That is called plagiarism, and a crime worse than murder for an intellectual like you. Or, do you deny NOW that you are an intellectual? Now that you have met your Waterloo?

Do you imagine I give a rat's tail about the incoherent babble of a Malcolm X? It follows that your "malcomizing" is like pouring water on a duck's back. Warning: I am NOT saying I am a duck. Please the lesson above on the proper interpretation of the rhetorial topos of the proverb.

Accordingly, I am not interested in Malcolm X, period. Get it?

Man, I find you to be a mountain unfounded assumptions. How do you know that I have "immersed myself" in what you naively call "Western literature." Again: your evidence, Herr Stalker?

Moreover, and more significantly, where is your evidence that I give a rat's tail about what you call "Western literature." Do our patient readers a favor: let them know what you mean by "Western literature." And, here I have the noose in my hand, for you won't FIND a definition in your favorite Webster: ship wrecked.

My fren, may I suggest you work on your idioms: there is no "proverbial sledge hammer" in the idiomatic lexicon of the English language. There is a sledge hammer, period and out.

Ar dae wait for yu next gbotogbata, for your next wobbly attempt to intellectualize from the depths of your misplaced pride. Everytime you attempt such a sophomoric endeavor, I'll be there to wack you with my word rockets.

You feel me, man or whatever you called yourself earlier---is it "goat?---from the SOUPIST OCCUPIED TERRITORY OF LIBERIA, WHICH AIN'T NO NATION AND NEVER HAS BEEN A NATION.

Take a breath, bro. It will be alright. Be careful of the way you speak or write because the slightest mistake can make you lose your audience or readers forever. You said that my claim that no one else is following our discussion is false because you receive tons of emails everyday congratulating you for standing toe-to-toe with me, I’ll take it that those mailers are your acquaintances because nowhere on this site are you and I- and anyone else- email addresses listed. So the word of encouragement you are getting is biased because it is coming from people you know, if indeed you are getting tons of emails. Secondly, you keeping claiming lately that you cannot comprehend my writing as a result of my bad grammar; then why are you still responding? The simple fact that you keep responding indicates that I have satisfied my communicative responsibility- to be heard and understood and elicit a response as evidence. So any cry of my grammatical shortcoming (which I admit are more typographical than grammatical like any posting on this site) is insignificance and inconsequential. Finally, Sir, what does Liberia being a nation or not has to do with anything? I beg you, borbor, please answer that question. And what is SOUPIST? Please enlighten me.

Old Schooler, I ain't no "bro."

Borbor pikin, opin yu trangayase, please eviscerate from your text the grammatical worms therein, or I shall be constrained to do it for you, gratis, in the spirit of charity. Do not now, respectfully!

Change the last clause to "Do it now, respectfully!"

hahaha, enuf said, lad; enuf said.

Chappie: "...enuf said."

Proper English usage: "ENOUGH SAID."

I waive my professional tutorial fees.

PIKIN, opin yu tranagayase: I said your interlocutors said I was 'bulldozing" you, not "standing toe bla, bla, bla."

Again, I urge you to review your text SUPRA, and remove the grammatical worm embedded therein, for if you don't, I SHALL DO IT FOR YOU, gratis.

Under the most charitable prudential consideration, "Chappie" has crossed another line: HE NOW VOLUTARILY AND UNDERSTANDINGLY AND MALICIOUSLY CHALLENGES THE LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY OF THE PROPRIETORS OF THIS WEBSITE TO DELETE POSTS THEY FIND OFFENSIVE, TO FOLLOW THEIR OWN GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURAL PROTOCOL.

Since "Chappie" cannot follow the rules laid down by this entity, I respectfully demand that he be BANNED from participating in any and all sites sponsored by allafrica. com.

Last night I viewed the exceptional film The Empire in Africa and as an American this was the first time I saw that very intelligent and astute leader Mike Lamin of the RUF who has been defamed all over the world and I buy none of it. Watch the film and watch Mike Lamin pose the relevent questions that must be answered and have not been answered in the murder and maiming of innocents in Sierra Leone. The real enemy is the Empire. Empire being the neo colonialism that seeks to rape Africa for all it is worth and pollute the media with lies about the truth behind the leaching despicable behavior funding such a murder mob as Ecomog! America alone has given Ecomog millions in military aid and weapons of mass destruction. Put that same blame for the atrocities on England and France too for they are nothing but pigs wallowing in the blood in South Africa. I put my money on Mike Lamin and RUF!
