Torture trial set for ex-Liberian leader’s son
The Associated Press
Emmanuel, born in 1977 in Boston while his father was a college student there, is also charged with conspiracy for the shootings of three people at a bridge checkpoint in Liberia in 1999. At the time Emmanuel was commander of the elite paramilitary Anti-terrorist Unit in his father’s government — a unit called the “Demon Forces” by many Liberians. “Chuckie Taylor was a monster who had no respect for the law and cared little about the Liberian people,” said David Crane, a Syracuse University law professor and former chief prosecutor for a United Nations tribunal on Sierra Leone war crimes. Charles Taylor is currently on trial at a special U. -backed court in The Hague, Netherlands, on charges of orchestrating violence in neighboring Sierra Leone’s bloody civil war, which ended in 2002. His son’s alleged crimes took place between 1999 and 2002 in Liberia, where prosecutors say his job was to intimidate and silence Taylor’s opponents by any means necessary.

Refugee spokesman Mohamed Lamine Tarawally has lived in the capital Conakry since 1998. “I will opt to integrate and I am ready to assume all the consequences of the end of our status as refugees,â he said. âI prefer to die in Guinea, and I won’t return to my country, whereâthe information that I receive from Sierra Leone makes me think the regime there has not completely changed. â He continued, âI do not really know what my future holds here in Guinea, where we sometimes experience violence such as in the 2007 strikes, but I intend to stay here for a long time. ” Tarawally says he makes his living by transporting rubbish from companies and individuals to open dumps around the capital. Josephine Tah, mother of 10, lives in Colah, a district of Conakry, and she too chooses to remain. âThere are days when we do not find to eat and we are afraid of the resurgence of organised crime in Guinea.

So what propelled us to that on January 20, 1977 we had a visit from President Kenneth Kawunda, who was in Zambia at that time. So we wanted to rally to welcome him as one of the frontline presidents who had taken up liberation causes for all the South African countries. So he was visiting Sierra Leone. We had a permission to go and welcome him at the Kissy Ferry Terminal. In fact, when we were coming down, we had taken permission not to go to class on that day and so on and so forth. When we were coming down, it was then that we were told that the government has cancelled it because that was the day they were inaugurating President Carter in America. We got so annoyed because it has nothing to do with Carter.

Cocorioko, Sierra Leone
S, what do you have to say about the President's visit ?LESLIE ALLEN : I am extremely happy that President Ernest Koroma extended his stay in the U. S to be able to meet with Sierra Leoneans. The President requested the extension through the Sierra Leone Mission here. This is an opportunity for Sierra Leoneans in the diaspora to be able to meet with and communicate with the President about the socio-economic and infrastructural developments of our country. Sierra Leoneans will be able not only to hear first-hand what the government has achieved and plans to do but they will have the opportunity to realize where they fit in with the government's goals for the people. This was why the President requested not to meet only APC supporters but Sierra Leoneans in general. The invitation is for all Sierra Leoneans.
