The NEWS (Monrovia)
28 August 2008
The former leader of the defunct rebel Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) Sekou Damate Conneh, on Wednesday denied shelling Monrovia during series of battles to seize control of Monrovia in 2003, and has called for a test fire to determine the range of his group's 81 millimeter mortar.

I am appalled by Mr. Conneh's revelations to the TRC. In one article I read, he is quoted as saying,"I am not reponsible for anyone's attrocities." Now he's saying, "the LURD did not share Monrovia, it was not a rebel group" What is this man really saying? Is he a rational being now or he is actually suffering from a pscyhic problems? Mr. Cooneh's statements are an affront to the thousands of innocent people that were slaughted by these alcapoons and are now bragging about it. His comments to the TRC truely aflame the already existing hatred in the society. Nowhere in the civilized world would such individuals who commited heinous crimes against humanity go with impunity. Mr. Cooneh needs to know that after Taylor he and the likes are next.
This is an open judgement, their was war between Taylor forces and the LURD resistance movement and either side fought to dis-locate each other from the city while the other end of the city was control by Taylor forces, Who do you think is responsible for the destruction? I am living witness to some of the shelling on the capital by General Kuku Danise and his boys in revange of the accusation that it was the US government that was supporting LURD and for every time the fighting intensify, Kuku Denise will lunch motar at the US embassy compound where thousands of people ran to seek refuge. I do agree that LURD attack the capital and they did shell the city, but the motar shells that landed in and around the US embassy were lunched by Taylor notorious General kuku Danise. Please contact the JMC at UNMIL,they should have some prove on this matter. I do know that Liberians are now hurt and angry about what happen just sometimes 2003, but from my point of view,Ellen Johnson Seleaf order that the NPFL should level Monrovia and was speaking as C.I.C of the the NPFL, We the same Liberian people got back in the street shanting slogans, "You kill my ma, You kill my pa, we will vote for you" and just to hide the fact,Why are we making Sekou Damante Conneh issue a treatment for our virus? No dought, the democracy that we claim to enjoy today is and was at the cost of removing Charles Taylor.
first of all, iam also a living witness, There's video to asure you that you fooling yourself, not liberians.gen kuku denise wasn't active at that time. I was living up crown hill.Lurd was the only people across the bridge. We could see everything that was going on from that point. Rockets were landing in sinkor.Taylor forces never had that old chinise mortal.For your information, taylor never resign becouse of lurd. It was because of international pressure on him. Taylor was the father of rebellion in liberia. To your knoweledge, Lurd was never a resistanse movement. We all are educated. Lurd was rebelling against a goverment that was duely elected by liberians and well monitor by the international comminty. You can even compare it to the last election.
I will make it possible that Sekou Damate Conneh will be broutht to justic, just as Taylor.
I guess my point seems to be lightining by torri's statement, So you mean you were among those that guys assigned with Kuku Danies while lunching civilian targets in and around the US embassy. How could you, for God sack be living on crown hill to witness LURD shelling Sinkor while you live at crown hill. It is never too late to tell your own side.
No Kromah , i think you are trying to lighting my point.From your statement, anyone who was living in the heart of monrovia would know that you the kromahs,conehs and others didn't know where they were sending thos rockets.Do you know the position of Crown hill in monrovia ? See this link carefully and stop saying things you dont about.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9pDr2pd3_4
What is mr don't know saying here again. He should have just continue with i don't know story then shifting blames. Even the 1 year old child can attest to lurd bombing at gracestone compound.
