The ongoing trial of war crime indictee Gibril Massaquoi may not be garnering the kind of public attention it rightly deserves probably because of the restrictions that prevent direct public access to ongoing proceedings.
From indications so far, it appears that prosecution witnesses may be experiencing difficulty recalling events and dates accurately. In one instance for example, accused Gibril is placed at the Waterside Bridge in Monrovia and others at locations outside Monrovia in the interior.
According to informed sources, recalling history, during the April 14, 1996 outbreak of fighting in Monrovia, Taylor’s NPFL forces and Kromah’s ULIMO forces were pitted against the ULIMO-J forces of Roosevelt Johnson and those of George Boley’s LPC. Accordingly, it is possible that Taylor’s forces, which included RUF elements, counted Gibril Massaquoi within its ranks during that period.
