Don’t take my backlash seriously, Emmanuel George, because I am from West Africa too, believe it or not. That is why I read each West African mind on this blog and know how they think and how hatefully we treat each other! Remember the slave trade? It wasn’t East Africans that were selling our kins to the European Slave traders on the Gold Coast, but West Africans themselves. Right now you find Sierra Leonean and Liberian Refugees all over the world in a Neo slavery deperate need, yet some continue to defend the man behind it all, and even go to the extend of making mockery of the victimized by shouting rediculous slogans on this blog! What do you expect Fallah to say when 99% of his tribal people were direct victims? I will sacrifice my remaining life to their cause, Emmanuel George. You can say what you may but the cause is set.. taylor and all those who raped and murdered our Native West Africans,as alleged, must be brought to Justice!

J. Fallah Menjor,

I seriousely take exception to you comment. I think you are living in a diferent world my brother. The present financial predicament in the world was cause by Westerner who lie about everything. Please keep your debate to the point and stop insulting the people of West AFrica. Where are you from? I think you should carefuly listen to Malcolm X speech on the two types of people of African descent in America during the time of slavery.

Taylor , probably, is not thinking about independence day when he,himself, remains incarcerated. What we should wish taylor is a peaceless night since he knows no such thing as peace of mind. Not if he could not remember ever doing anything illigal to any one in Sierra Leone. Not when taylor remembers never giving orders, as alleged, to kill anyone, anywhere. Stop drooling from the corner of your mouth!

Hi Uncle Fallah, can we logically analyze Mr. Sesay and his testimony? Let start with Sesay,
The only surviving senior member of RUF.
Serving half a century in jail.
may likely be released upon good conduct in jail
has no further legal redress( I stand to be corrected)
He is testifying to what he knows relative to the activities of RUF from his role as fighter, commander and interim leader of RUF.
And Uncle you are saying that this fellow is telling lies?
Let me ask this question if you permit uncle, What does Mr. sesay stand to benefit from telling lies? I really want to know uncle.
Now besides Sesay, do you also say the SRSG and other internationally respctable personilities are telling lies?
Now let me tell you why I would hail them for telling lies as you continue to say.
They are telling lies to redeem and defend Africa’s pride and dignity against neo-colonial rule as they have plan to use Justice by their definition as the new system to subdue Africa.
Relative to Naomi taking the stand, Let me tell you uncle that there will be no big or new information. Are you under estimating the defense team? I think you should give some credit to the defense team by now for the smart and logical approach taken to dismember the prosecution.
Let me also information you that we rather continue than to bring Naomi that will take us back cause the defense will need time to adquately reply to her testimony which will delay the trial.
Any way this trial means alot to the world in determining the possible arrest of Bashir of Sudan.
In conclusion, Let me appreciate you for your post, it really entertianed me with laugh. Uncle please don’t be discourage for you have time to make a come back if you encourage the Liberian Governmnet to endorse the TRC recommendations.

Character reliability is the edge the prosecution can use to deem Mr. Sesay testimony unreliable. So please take your party hats off (noko4 deduct those point on your score you gave the defense) and keep your boxing gloves on.

fallah,

Big B will not be the first to pick a fight, but will not back down from one. Sometimes Moses Law “an eye for an eye” works.

Let’s move on!

I applaud your strong support for Mr. Taylor but please don’t let it give you “tunnel vision”. During Mr. Taylor testimony andrew jlay received information that Mr. Sesay might testify on behalf of Mr. Taylor’s defense. I thought it was a bad idea then and still think it’s a bad idea, so you hypocrisy theory can be filed under “emotional outbursts”. The only good thing Mr. Sesay brings to the table is he never denied his status with the RUF, but the curse is he conveniently removes himself of any command responsibilities of his subordinate. Although, Mr. Sesay has supportive documentation to his testimony he is still conveniently removing himself of any command responsibilities of his subordinate. Here lies the problem with Mr. Sesay reliability. The prosecution claims that Mr. Taylor back/supported the RUF through senior official like Mr. Sesay. Mr. Taylor’s case has a direct link to the command responsibilities of Mr. Sesay, therefore providing a conflict of interest. Mr. Sesay is repeating the same lines that got him convicted by respected collogues of Mr. Taylor’s judges. It’s not my mouth that appears to be slanted, the tunnel vision got you seeing things side ways. I’m going to attempt to help you see thing straight. If someone told you father a story and your father deemed it to be false, would you think that person is a 100% reliable even after that person keep telling you the same story he told your father.

amax2020,
You have an amazing ability at expressing yourself. Just go through your responses on this forum and you will quickly see what I’m driving at. It is truly astonishing that you see yourself as a critic of opinions on this site

I was wondering about the conditions under which this “statement” was taken. Why was the translated transcript used in place of the actual words? And why didn’t the defense ask this ambassador to testify directly?
