Liberia's president-elect mulling Taylor's fate
Liberia’s president-elect Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf said today she’s deliberating on what should be done about Charles Taylor who is in exile in Nigeria but wanted in Sierra Leone on war crimes charges.
Nigeria granted Taylor – a longtime warlord and ex-president of Liberia who helped fuel Sierra Leone’s 1991-2002 civil war – asylum in 2003 in part to help end Liberia’s own 1989-2003 armed struggle.
