The Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) is still putting its final touches to its controversial report, but it has released a list of 98 individuals described as "most notorious perpetrators" of war crimes, with former President Charles Taylor conspicuously absent in this category. Heading the list of "most notorious" is the erstwhile Field Marshall of the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL), Gen. Prince Johnson, now Senator for Nimba County.

Reactions on the TRC report from some of the politicians on the list are still being considered, but former Senate President Isaac Nyenabo, banned from holding public office for his alleged role in the war, contacted, said he couldn't respond to "perceptions." He has however scheduled an official response for today.

Earlier, Mr. Saahr Gbollie, on the list of the "most notorious", vowed resistance, the same position that former Field Marshall Johnson has adopted.

A source close to President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf says the President has not received the report, therefore ruling out comments.

The report, in its current form, indicted all warring factions for committing various crimes, along with key individuals in political circles and institutions for committing economic crimes.

The report traced the history of Liberia, with conclusions that inequalities were prevalent. This paper will periodically highlight key section of a rather voluminous report.

The report: "The relationship between IGNU and NPRAG was, as to be expected, tense. Liberia was effectively divided into greater Monrovia and Greater Liberia of Charles Taylor's NPRAG. This divide was re-enforced by the introduction of new bank notes (liberty) by IGNU to counter spiraling inflation resulting from the former bank notes (JJ) being looted from commercial banks and containers which were in the hands of warlords including, Prince Johnson who was bitter and angered when possession of large amounts of the JJ bank notes could not be justified for which exchange was often denied. Although Taylor countered this by forbidden anyone in greater Liberia to use the new currency, it was soon clear that this move was hopeless as the new currency indeed triumphed in parallel and black markets."
