Several hours ago, a UN-propped special court found former Liberian president, Charles Taylor, guilty of war crimes and crime against humanity - allAfrica.com: Liberia: Security Council Welcomes Conviction in War Crimes Trial of Charles Taylor
While some people believe this was world justice and victory for Africa, I believe this was simply another hushing of an African nationalist and the reinstatement of colonialism in Africa:
Charles Taylor became president in Liberia after a coup. But rather than adopting a US-backed agenda, Taylor leaned towards a somewhat nationalistic agenda. Charles Taylor would also be said to have aided Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in their efforts to oust their UN-puppet president Ahmad Tejan Kabbah.
While Charles Taylor and the RUF had their flaws, the fact remains that they were fighting colonialism in Africa, which is currently being reinstated allover Africa with approval of the UN and NATO. Therefore, the decision of the UN special court was nothing but success for imperialists who are bent on preventing independence, progress and prosperity in Africa.
It is not justice when freedom fighters are constantly silenced and haters of freedom and independence are free to thrive in developing nations. You know, Africa would be A-Okay, were it not for imperialists bent on colonizing Africa.
