On March 11, just two days ago, the trial of former Liberian president Charles Taylor ended, with the judges now making deliberations. This may take up to a few months.
Taylor, who was arrested back in 2006, is on trial for 11 counts related to the Sierra Leone Civil War. These include war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes that violate international law. It is believed that he controlled and armed the RUF, attacking Sierra Leone in exchange for blood diamonds.
I really hope that Taylor will be punished for his brutal and inhuman acts.
