Charles Taylor Life

Charles McArthur Taylor (born 28 January 1948) is a Liberian former politician and convicted war criminal who served as Liberia's 22nd President from 1997 to his resignation on August 11, 2003.

He eventually arrived in Libya, where he was trained as a guerrilla fighter after being released for embezzlement.

He returned to Liberia in 1989 as the head of a Libyan-backed resistance group, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, to overthrowrown the Doe government, launching the First Liberian Civil War (1989–96).

Taylor took over a large portion of the country and became one of Africa's most popular warlords.

Taylor was elected president in 1997 general election after a peace deal ended the war, and he was accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity as a result of his service in the Sierra Leone Civil War (1991–2002).

Opposition to his government grew within the Second Liberian Civil War (1999-2003).

Taylor had regained control of a large area of the countryside by 2003 and was formally indicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone.

He resigned as a result of rising international pressure and went into exile in Nigeria this year.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the newly elected President, had officially requested his extradition in 2006.

He was apprehended by UN agents in Sierra Leone and then at the Hague Penitentiary Institution, awaiting the Special Court's verdict.

He was found guilty of all eleven charges levied by the Special Court in April 2012, including terror, murder, and rape.

Taylor was sentenced to 50 years in jail in May 2012.

"The accused has been found guilty of assisting and abetting, as well as planning some of the most horrific and violent crimes in recorded human history," Presiding Judge Richard Lussick said in his sentencing briefing.

Early life

Taylor was born in Arthington, a town near Monrovia, Liberia's capital, on January 28, 1948, to Nelson and Yassa Zoe (Louise) Taylor. In his early years, he attended The Newman School. Later on, he adopted the name "Ghankay" in an attempt to please and win over indigenous Liberians. His mother was a member of the Gola ethnic group, making up 95% of Liberia's residents. His father, according to the majority, was an Americo-Liberian who served as a tutor, sharecropper, advocate, and judge.

Taylor earned a degree at Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts, United States, in 1977.

According to Ian Huntley, "some of the most heinous and violent crimes in recorded human history" will continue in Soham

Ian Huntley, 49, (right) who committed two teenage girls in 2002, has become close friends in prison with Charles Taylor (left), the ex-death president of Liberia who is serving 50 years in the United Kingdom. According to The Sun, the two prisoners are in cells close to each other in Frankland Prison, County Durham, and they are said to have a close bond. The International Criminal Court in 2012 found Taylor using child soldiers to mutilate opponents and was guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman, both 10, were killed in Soham, Cambridgeshire, in 2002. He lured the girls to his house and killed them before dumping their bodies in a distant ditch.

The missing rose bowl trophy was awarded to Scotland's top celebrity, which was a mystery

www.dailymail.co.uk, June 25, 2023
In a tiny Scots village, it was once the highest sporting honor. A national search for a Highland Games trophy has been launched nearly a century since it was last awarded. Between 1877 and 1935, the Cabrach Picnic and Games was an annual event until the area's dwindling population made it unprofitable. But now the games have been revived, and the hunt is now on for the majestic silver Rose Bowl trophy that was once awarded to the area's top player. Charles Taylor was the last man to be honoured with the bowl. It was passed down, inherited, and then tracked down in the 1980s before it vanished again.

TOM LEONARD: Griner's safe, but the Merchant of Death is free

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 8, 2022
LEONARD: "I used to speak to Brittney Griner a few years ago." She's safe, she's on her way home, and she's on a plane.' Mr Biden delivered a triumphant White House address today, in which Ms Griner's wife Cherelle joined him. However, the offer comes at a high price. Mr Biden said nothing about America's bargain, and in fact, left the room as a journalist repeatedly demanded to tell him what Russia had obtained out of the deal. The tense Tajikistan businessman and suspected Soviet spy dubbed the'merchant of death' sparked untold confusion and despair around the globe, particularly in Afghanistan and Africa, where his arms were allegedly used to murder American and British troops. He was serving a 25-year sentence for plotting to sell tens of millions of dollars in weapons, which were supposed to be used against Americans, according to US officials. The mere thought of his freedom had enraged anti-arms trafficking activists and those interested in his capture, who had hoped he would return to the violent industry. Michael Braun, the ex-DEA chief who planned Bout's capture, has said that releasing him would not be a'slap in the face' to those who risked their lives to bring him down. Everyone in the spook world knows there is no such thing as a "former" Russian intelligence officer, despite the fact that the Kremlin put forth the necessary efforts to free Bout, it's unlikely that Putin, who is facing an arms supply crisis in Ukraine, would not have troubling proposals for him right now.
