Benjamin Yeaten [a Taylor commander] introduced him as the commander replacing Sam Bokari.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The witness, now 42, is a former fighter who claimed to have been recruited by General \u201cGlassco\u201d. He said he met Angel Gabriel at General Bokari\u2019s house and on the war front. X6 said he stopped seeing Massaquoi when former President Taylor resigned and went into exile in Nigeria in August 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The war crimes case is at a critical standpoint where the prosecution is trying to prove that Massaquoi escaped UN protection in Freetown to fight on behalf of one of the Special Court for Sierra Leone\u2019s key suspects \u2013 President Taylor. The idea that a witness under UN protection could escape and commit war crimes in another country is a startling revelation. If the Finnish court finds that is what happened, it will have raise serious questions for the Special Court which convicted more than a dozen combatants from the Sierra Leone civil war.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf new evidence determines that, though Massaquoi was a high-profile witness, his protection was porous\u2014the next question would be, how wide spread was this practice?\u201d asked Aaron Weah, an expert on transitional justice in Liberia and Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the prosecution finds that Massaquoi witness protection scheme was violated on the watch of the Special Court monitoring, it raises a much bigger question about the Court\u2019s integrity and how it impacted on certain outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTransnational transitional justice processes can indirectly amount to a certain form of audit. Whether we like it or not, the Finnish Trial of Massaquoi is undertaking an audit of the Sierra Leone Special Court\u2019s application of international law, particularly the practice and enforcement of its witness protection scheme. Like every audit, some transitions are determined to be legitimate and comply with the rules of audit and accounting, while others are determined to be non-compliant, violating the terms of generally accepted accounting principles. If the prosecution finds that Massaquoi witness protection scheme was violated on the watch of the Special Court monitoring, it raises a much bigger question about the Court\u2019s integrity and how it impacted on certain outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The first witness appeared very confident in his conviction that it was July and August 2003 that he saw Massaquoi despite defense efforts to question those dates. He told the court that Massaquoi, after LURD rebels had overtaken several areas from government forces and brought them to central Monrovia, was positioned at the old bridge connecting Vai Town and Waterside. LURD did not attack Monrovia until June 2003. He said other commanders including Generals \u201cSalomie\u201d, \u201cBull Dog\u201d and \u201cMichael High Grade\u201d were also positioned in strategic places in central Monrovia while General Yeaten was at the E.J. Roye Building.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the old bridge area where Massaquoi was based, the witness said he and his group were right under the bridge occupying a wide space. \u201cUnder the bridge is a very wide space hat rocket could not even hit, and they were there cooking their dog meat and other foods,\u201d he said in response to questions from Massaquoi\u2019s defense lawyer Kaarle Gummerus during cross examination.<\/p>\n<p>According to the witness, he came to know Angel Gabriel when he had taken over from Sam Bokari who was the head of Sierra Leonean mercenaries fighting for Taylor. In response to questions as to whether there were any other names by which the central character of this trial was known, the witness said no.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only knew him to be Angel Gabriel,\u201d he said. \u201cI was not assigned to him to know all about him. Only his Angel Gabriel name I knew and that\u2019s what they used to call him by.\u201d The witness recounted that he and his commander Glassco visited Massaquoi\u2019s based at Waterside and saw General Salomie killing a Liberian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we saw that, General Glassco asked why the killing? And the killer said he was ordered by Angel Gabriel to carry on the execution,\u201d the witness said. \u201cThe complaint was taken to General Benjamin Yeaten, but when he came, he told the soldiers to be focused because the war was going against them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The second prosecution witness, codenamed \u201cX7\u201d said he met Massaquoi on a diplomatic mission in Liberia. He said he got a truck belonging to Gibril Massaquoi and was driving it transporting RUF soldiers in Sierra Leone and at the same time goods from Sierra Leone to Liberia.<\/p>\n<p>The Finnish court is in Liberia for the next two weeks. In coming days the court will prove the other key question that prompted its return to Liberia: defense allegations that prosecution witnesses were bribed to testify against Massaquoi by staff at the human rights group Global Research Justice Project.<\/p>\n<p><b>This story is a collaboration with New Narratives as part of the West Africa Justice Research Project.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Liberia.
