Why Charles Taylor Went On Exile


Charls Taylor Ghanky is the 22nd presidnt of Liberia and one of the most brutal president in LIBERIA.He earned a degree in bentley in United state of America.
He is the first son of the former judge in Lberia.After a long time of study,he returned as a civil cervant to Doe untill he was sacked. After his removal,he recieved trainig and he later became a gurilla fighter and also barganed so many skills and exposure which opened his eyes to so many ills in the Liberian society. In 1989, he became the head of the Liberian rebels group. He also initiated the NATONAL PATROTIC OF LIBERIA;a group which was used as a tool to disreputate Doe's government which led to the first civil war in the country. In 1996,Samuel Doe was dethrowned and power bounced to charls as he became a prominent leader and a master planner in the country.






A bloody and mass killing tribulation fell upon the counry ,claiming the life of innoccent citizens but all went down after a peace keeping deal. In 1997,Charls Taylor contested in the presidential election and was massively supported by most Liberians. According to my understanding,if you want to know the character of a man,give him power.During his tenure as president,he was accused of so many crimes against humanity after a rebellious doing in serrieleone.He was also knowned for the humilation which christians were subjected to. Charls Taylor removed millitary officials and goverment one who were of the same tribe of Samuel Doe.Taylor also also initiated an Anti Terrorist Unit for his personal sake.HE also aided agroup called Revolutionary Front;a group that smuggled red diamond. In 2003,he was also charged with terrorism due to his group bombing the french and kenyan embassy. The indicement was sealed when he visited Ghana were he was in a peace deal with Thambo Mbeki and other prominent leaders. During the absence in the country, his vice seized power from him.Faith caught up with him when George Bush clearly stated that he shouled leave Liberia. He flew into calabar city and was fully welcomed by Obansanjo,he cofficially announced his resignation under the coverage of a National tv station.
