Former Liberian President Charles Taylor's Opening Statement - 15 July 2009 Part 3 

Do you think he's telling the full truth or lying by omission in some areas?

@@adangbe ,Unless you draw us across those deceptions. His memories of recollection is beyond questioning.

Psychopaths can do that.

that’s the big question 🙋‍♀️

You asked why Tom Wowiyu and Ellen Johnson weren't on trial in the Hague. Well, Tom wowiyu was captured and charged in the US for crimes committed by the NPFL and he was sentenced to die in jail. Tom however died in the US from coronavirus before he could begin his sentencing. Helen Johnson wasn't charged with any crimes committed by the NPFL because she did not play any active role militarily like Tom and Taylor did. Tom and Taylor were travelling all around west africa states including Libya, recruiting people to kill not just innocent Liberian but they've taken wars to neighbouring countries that was why those countries sent men to Liberia for war. Taylor was the main demon in the entire west Africa and since he was locked up, relative calm has been restored in that area.

@@rovd4433 ,Correctly written mate. I couldn't agree more! My blood brother (X soldier) in Gambia was blackmailed by Kuokoi Samba Sanyang, (after his bloody 1981 coup in Gambia) by saying there is a job offer for him in Libya. Only to be handed to Charles taylor in an aircraft from Burkina Faso to Liberia, to fight for him in the civil war. I cannot tell how many innocent people he has killed in Liberia. He was traumatised. When he came back to Gambia with many Gambians who where also fighting for Taylor, eleven of them lunch a Coup in the country in 1996, killed 15 soldiers. Two amongst them where killed and my brother was captured and sentence to dead. He was released in 2015. But his life has never been the same and never will be!

@@RoyalBlue292 Thank you

This case is about his affiliation with the RUF and the part he played in the Sierra Leone war, which Ellen and Tom had nothing to do with. It’s not about Liberia.

I repeatedly watch

Where Ellen

very good question..... these people are not fair at alll

Because he killed innocent people and forcing children under the age 12 to carries arms

@@wilfredgeorge5328 where do you know me from? You just exposed yourself as an idiot who really does not deserve any feedback. You are a very sad person. A little tip, I wasn't in Liberia for your war that most of the people begged for!

I just letting all the Taylor loyalists know that his aims was to destabilized the south regions and take the seat of his presidency forever

Taylor should be in jail especially for the atrocities committed in Liberia 🇱🇷. But so should all the other war lords such as Prince Johnson, Ellen too and the rest period point blank. It still baffles me that Prince Johnson is a politician in Liberia 🇱🇷 now or he was lol 😂 that’s absolutely hilarious and disgusting 🤮

He was the man who gave weapon and ammunition to RUF ... Can you understand that ?

So, does that mean he is guilty of war crime?

what is a mataba? bro!

Some prominent Members of the ANC arm wing were there too. That's why president Nelson Mandela later visited Libya personally to thank Quadaffi for his support.

Taylor became president but he was still doing secret killing, he killed Enoch Dorgolah, Sam Dokie, Jackson F. Doe,Patrick Buddle and so many top nimbians and other tribes

Mr Taylor was a Libyan trained terrorist

Why?

He wants Taylor back to kill his entire family

He is simply answering questions being asked. What's painful with it?

@@RoyalBlue292 , hi A Ch! seeing him struggling to find appropriate answers to questions and in the process incriminating himself more and more before a highly prejudiced jury is what I find painful.

Yeah Bush

+Yard Hasmonah Are you Mano or Gio ? this your so called apanafrican man killed all you educated people like jackson f Doe, Sam Dorkee , his vice was beating to death, killed all good people fromnimba your home town LOL ha ha ha,,,

Why is it that the court is still holding Mr Taylor in jail? people who have committed the worst atrocity are in power and embezzling public fund.pls release Mr Taylor becuz he is innocent.

Yard Hasmonah this man kiddaped 10 thousand kids ,killed their parents.Gave 12 year olds assult weapons and releases all those young thugs on the citizens of liberian.It was the biggest massacre in history of africa. He is a monster.

His hands full of blood

The court holding this man for the terrible killing he did in his so called revolution!!!!!

So he isn't partly responsible for the death of many in his country? When does Pan-Africanism involved the killing of other Afrikans?
