MONROVIA – President George Weah’s lackadaisical response towards the mounting calls for the need to end impunity and hold people accountable for war and economic crimes, in the view of one of his fierce political rivals, Alexander B.

MONROVIA – Rev. Prince Y. Johnson, a former notorious warlord with no regrets for his actions, always takes solace in the pulpit – using it to either justify some of the atrocities of the heinous war or deny some war crimes attributed to him.
After his outburst last Thursday during the session when Senator Abraham Dillon called for the establishment of war and economic crimes court, it was expected that Senator Johnson who could not contain his rage at Sen. Dillon’s mention of “war crimes court” and subsequently walked out of session, would have mounted the pulpit on Sunday to further justify his participation in the senseless war. He believed that Sen.
