Is the trial of Taylor the remedy for Liberians?

Why the current pressure from the international community by urging Sirleaf to bring Taylor to Sierra Leone to face trial? Do they know its implications on the people of Liberia and the Sub region?

The ECOWAS need to understand that in the 1997 general elections, Taylor had 75 percent of the total vote cast and this clearly shows that he has a lot of followers, which includes ex-combatants.

Some have argued that putting Taylor on trial would be the way to deter others. Indeed, if it is about deterrence we would not have witnessed the current coup in the Gambia.

The political, economic and socio-cultural conditions of Liberia have deteriorated for far too long and the leaders of Africa could do well if they supported Liberia rather than leaning on the international community to refurbish the country. For example, Nigeria can provide Liberia with oil on credit.
