For God’s sake what does Moses Blah think he is doing? How can all these things happen accidentally? He has completely rubished his reputation and he will forever be considered a traitor because his story just does not hold up in the face of clear and documented evidence to the contrary presented to him on cross examination. He must have been seriously threatened by the Prosecutors for him to agree to come up with this type of evidence against his boss of 20 years. We are waiting for the defence evidence to get to 2003 when we will have a chance to hear Charles Taylors sidme of the story.

Throughout the Charles Taylor trial it has been highlighted through documentations and the prosecution presentations that the international community accused Charles Taylor of supplying arms and ammunition to the RUF rebel that was campaigning for power in Sierra Leone. This military support was in violation of United Nations Resolution. There has been documentation alleging RUF arms trafficking and Liberia being used as a final conduit as those arms are transferred to the RUF.

It is common knowledge that the more arms supplies are cut off from rebel forces and other insurgent groups, the less likely that they could achieve their military objective. Moreover absence of such support could have direct impact on the suffering and casualty that the civilian population experience. From a political standpoint, success at curtailing arms supply to rebel groups would also help in compelling them to negotiate a peaceful resolution of said conflict.

At the back of the call for Charles Taylor Government and Liberia to stop its support to the RUF were America and Britain. However, reading from an article appearing in the a Newsletter of Teach Peace Foundation(thanks to Crow-Hill Peking), it appears that America through the CIA supplied arms and ammunitions to a rebel group from Guinea that was fighting to overthrow the government of Charles Taylor. Reports has also surfaced claiming that the Guinea rebel group fighting Charles Taylor also had military supplies from Britain.

So we see on the one hand, the American and British Governments supporting a campaign to prevent arms flow to guerilla movements, yet on the other hand they are clandestinely supplying arms to overthrow a legitimately elected government, destabilize a nation and create human suffering.

This double standard leaves many questions o my mind:

1. Can these people be taken seriously, all it is their might and power that create fear to confront them.

2. Who is approved to provide arm support to rebel groups?

3. Is this international justice or international mockery?

Someone please help me.

Am very sorry for you but when it comes to the Court of Law, its about facts not friction. I can speak for My support for Charles Taylor is because I believe that the aligations aginst President Charles Taylor in that court are baseless.

If you say Liberia then you are on point. But do you know that Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (born 29 October 1938) is the current President of Liberia and has been involved in every coup dta in Liberia? Come again

As for the thinking of people of him we all have diffrences. Do not confuse What he did in his Country Liberia and Sierra Leone

according to you, those of us who writings appear to be loyalists of President Taylor is either out of ignorance or blind loyalty. I say, it is your personal interpretation and it doesn’t count as facts. As far as we are concerned, we are speaking our minds. I think, we should not be punished or labeled by anyone of being Taylor loyalists when we speak of what we think is wrong or right. Will it be fair to you, if I label you as a sellout, or stooge? you can answer either way, I can care less. However, did I just read what I thought I read of you saying that the law is not necessarily based on truth, but rather prove? True African, seriously, are you a true African? Let me tell you something if you don’t know. Truth and prove are complementary within the court of law. They are not opposed to each other. I hope you will learn a valuable lesson from this website before posting because, this site is no joke. I will strongly advise you to think hard before posting on this site.

You seem very interested in Sam Bokarie’s death aren’t you? This is about the third or fourth time you have raised this issue. Now let’s examine what Moses Blah said. He claimed that he saw Bokarie with Yaten and then later saw Bokarie’s body in the back of the pickup. However were you aware that the account of the wound he claims to have seen on Bokarie was in sharp contrast to what the Coroner in Freetown give of the body examined? Bokarie was killed by gunshot wounds according to the Coroners; yet Blah said that Bokarie was stabbed by Yaten.

Look why don’t you wait for this cross examinatiion when these issues will be raised as you claim. I have every confidence that Mr. Taylor is up to the task of answering all questions asked by the Prosecution.
If you are following the case properly you will be aware that the Defence is going in chronological order. They have not reached to the time of Bokarie’s death so do not pre-empt the statement of Mr Taylor. Wait for him to reach that time and then you can make derogatory remarks about the subject.

No, we’re NOT BLIND LOVERS of Mr. Taylor but watching and listening to the various testimonies and presentations and you must admit if you were around when the prosecutors were making their case that the defense has from all points on the circle made the prosecutors looked like amateurs!!!!

Yes, all we got from them were HEARSAYS….if you feel otherwise then please show us ONE CREDITABLE FACTUAL FACT as it relate to the charges and the mandate of this court.
