Liberia's Charles Taylor, Convicted by the UN | Condamné par l'ONU | Condenado pela ONU

English:
An international court has delivered its verdict on Liberian ex-president Charles Taylor, finding him guilty of arming Sierra Leone's rebels who paid him in "blood diamonds". The three judges at a special United Nations court pronounced him guilty of aiding and abetting 11 counts of war crimes or crimes against humanity. But he was acquitted of criminal responsibility and "joint enterpise" on the same 11 charges. His sentence will not be delivered for several months. - BeeAfrican

The court, set up jointly by the Sierra Leone government and the United Nations, has already convicted eight Sierra Leoneans of war crimes and jailed them for between 15 and 52 years after trials in Freetown. This court process was backed by the United Nations from the start until the prosecution.

Taylor, 64, is accused of helping Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels wage a terror campaign during a civil war that claimed 120,000 lives between 1991 and 2001. The trial, which saw model Naomi Campbell testify she had received diamonds from the flamboyant Taylor, wrapped up in March 2011. If found guilty, Taylor could be sentenced in four to six weeks.

Charles Taylor pleaded not guilty to 11 counts, dismissing the allegations as "lies" and claiming to be the victim of a plot by "powerful countries."

The media blew up the story with the involvement of Naomi Campbell, but after failing to receive support in Sierra Leone over the courts attempt to prosecute Charles Taylor the story and press coverage went silent, until recently when he was flow to the Netherlands for the final verdict. We have not researched enough to give a full view and perspective of Charles intent, action, and activates during the war in Sierra Leone, neither do we know the true objectives of the rebels, however it is always questionable with a the United Nations makes decisions of who is a criminal and not a criminal in Africa. And with Charles verses the UN, we are unsure we would get a clear and precise perspective on his claims in the media.

All we know is Sierra Leone's most famoust blogger, Vickie Remoe, posted this on her facebook, "Mi fambul dem oona Good Morning. Charles Taylor is guilty does it matter to you? I left Sierra Leone as a refugee when I was 12 years old, and sleeping on the floors of the embassy in Guinea I didn't really understand what was going on. Now that I do I dont blame Charles Taylor nor do I feel any sense that justice has been served. Do you?" So the question is when will Africa's presidents be on the side of independence?

Nous n'avons pas assez de recherche pour donner une vue complète et la perspective d'intention Charles, l'action, et active au cours de la guerre en Sierra Leone, ni ne nous connaissons les véritables objectifs des rebelles, mais il est toujours discutable avec une Organisation des Nations Unies prend des décisions de qui est un criminel et non un criminel en Afrique.

" Donc la question est de savoir quand les présidents de l'Afrique est sur le côté de l'indépendance?

Haiti Is Part of Africa!! / Haïti fait partie de l'Afrique! / O Haiti é parte de África!

Okay, not exactly, or not yet. Haiti is 5000 or so miles away from Africa, but recently, The new Haitian president, Joseph Michel Martelly, made a bid to join the African Union. This will give them access to the trading relationship and acknowledgement as an African state from other colonies. It also means in times of need and financial backing, where other African countries may support one another, Haiti will also be considered in this relationship.

We are not sure how much help the African Union will be of to Haiti as we do not have an accurate account of the African Unions activities. However, what we know is this will be a very significant act if this bid is to become a reality.

The History
Haiti became the first free black republic in 1804, when a group of enslaved African men overtook the French military to earn the nation’s freedom. At the time where the French had the strongest army throughout Europe. Haiti has been known for their strong resistance against colonial and neo colonial forces. And till today they are still battling the occupation of the UN (known as Munistah) with many protests around the world.



18 Year Old Boy Raped by UN Peace Keepers?
Tension has been growing between Haitians and the UN "peace keeping" group Minustah, with various rumours of their human rights abuse and rape claims. However, this was brought to the forefront when a video showing the alleged sexual assault of a young 18 year old boy in Haiti by Minustah (UN) peacekeeping soldiers (see video). Many Haitians also believe the UN and France is also responsible for the spread of Cholera that expanded ever since the UN occupation began. (see various videos on youtube)



Similarities
Haiti's culture, interms of food, lifestyle and clothes are very similar to that of African people. There is no saying if this entry to join the African Union will be granted, but if so, hopefully Africans in Africa will begin to identify with the amazing culture and history of the Haitian world.

Okay, pas exactement, ou pas encore. Haïti est de 5000 ou si miles de l'Afrique, mais récemment, le nouveau président haïtien, Joseph Michel Martelly, a fait une demande d'adhésion à l'Union africaine. Cela leur donnera accès à la relation commerciale et la reconnaissance comme un Etat africain à partir d'autres colonies. Cela signifie également en cas de besoin et le soutien financier, où d'autres pays africains peuvent se soutenir mutuellement, Haïti sera également pris en compte dans cette relation.

Nous ne savons pas combien d'aide de l'Union africaine sera de à Haïti que nous n'avons pas un compte exact des activités syndicats africains. Cependant, ce que nous savons est que ce sera un acte très important si cette offre est de devenir une réalité.



l'histoire
Haïti est devenu la première république noire libre en 1804, quand un groupe d'esclaves a dépassé l'armée française pour gagner la liberté de la nation. Au moment où les Français avaient la plus forte armée dans toute l'Europe. Haïti a été connus pour leur forte résistance contre les forces coloniales et néo coloniales. Et jusqu'à aujourd'hui, ils sont encore aux prises avec l'occupation de l'ONU (connue sous le nom MINUSTAH) avec de nombreuses protestations à travers le monde.

18 ans garçon violées par des gardiens de la paix de l'ONU?
La tension n'a cessé de croître entre les Haïtiens et les Nations unies "maintien de la paix" groupe de la Minustah, avec des rumeurs diverses de leur abus des droits humains et les revendications de viol. Cependant, cela a été porté à l'avant-garde d'une vidéo montrant l'agression sexuelle présumée d'un jeune garçon de 18 ans en Haïti par des soldats de maintien de la Minustah (ONU) (voir le clip édité). De nombreux Haïtiens croient aussi l'ONU et la France est également responsable de la propagation du choléra, qui a élargi depuis l'occupation de l'ONU a commencé. (voir différentes vidéos sur youtube)

similitudes
La culture d'Haïti, interms de nourriture, mode de vie et les vêtements sont très semblable à celle des peuples africains. Il n'est dit si cette entrée pour rejoindre l'Union africaine sera accordé, mais si c'est le cas, nous l'espérons Africains en Afrique va commencer à s'identifier à la culture étonnante et de l'histoire du monde haïtien.

Ok, não exatamente, ou ainda não. Haiti é de 5000 ou assim milhas de distância da África, mas recentemente, o novo presidente do Haiti, Joseph Michel Martelly, fez uma oferta para se juntar à União Africano. Isso lhes dará acesso à relação comercial e reconhecimento como um Estado Africano de outras colônias. Significa, também, em tempos de necessidade e apoio financeiro, em que outros países africanos podem apoiar um ao outro, o Haiti também serão consideradas nesta relação.

Não temos certeza quanto ajudar a União Africano será de ao Haiti como não temos um relato preciso das atividades africanos Sindicatos. No entanto, o que sabemos é que será um ato muito significativo se esse lance é se tornar uma realidade.

a História
Haiti se tornou a primeira república negra livre em 1804, quando um grupo de escravos ultrapassou o exército francês a ganhar a liberdade da nação. No momento em que os franceses tinham o exército mais forte em toda a Europa. Haiti tem sido conhecida por sua forte resistência contra as forças coloniais e neo coloniais. E até hoje eles ainda estão lutando contra a ocupação das Nações Unidas (conhecido como Munistah), com muitos protestos ao redor do mundo.

18 ano velho menino estuprada por manutenção da paz da ONU?
A tensão vem crescendo entre os haitianos e da ONU "manutenção da paz" grupo Minustah, com vários rumores de seu abuso de direitos humanos e as reivindicações de estupro. No entanto, este foi trazido à tona quando um vídeo mostrando a suposta agressão sexual de um menino de 18 anos no Haiti por soldados da Minustah (ONU) de manutenção da paz (veja clipe editado). Muitos haitianos também acreditam que a ONU ea França também é responsável pela propagação da cólera que se expandiu desde a ocupação da ONU começou. (ver vários vídeos no youtube)

semelhanças
Cultura do Haiti, interms do estilo de vida, comida e roupas são muito semelhante ao dos povos africanos. Não há como dizer se essa entrada para aderir à União Africano será concedido, mas se assim for, espero que os africanos na África começará a se identificar com a cultura incrível e história do mundo do Haiti.

CAMEROON STANDS UP FOR GBAGBO AND IVORIAN INDEPENDENCE FROM FRANCE!

manif à Douala contre l'ingérence internationale - la prochaine fois, devant l'ambassade de France ? Vidéo Gri-Gri-International sélectionnée dans TV/Séries

We would like to clarify that Miss West Africa is not a political organisation, but despite that it is impossible, heartless, and backwards against everything Africans before us have died for, for us to ignore the killings and recolonisation of Ivory Coast by France. We feel sometimes despite what we believe there are things that are principled and we will just be as evil to ignore the death of over 2,000 Africans with a clear understanding of the lies that support it.

We hope France, the UN, and Ouattara's men are brought to justice!

Viva la Cote D'Ivoire

THE TRUTH; A FIRM STAND FOR IVORY COAST

Our hopes go out to all those of Ivory Coast who are fighting to defend their democracy and independence. Before we begin, politics is a very dirty and confusion field where people are used as weapons by those with power. All we can say is that in this case we are experiencing a clear cut violation of independence, freedom, and humanitarian rights by the UN.

We hope the situation in Ivory Coast can really expose the UN for what it is and shed light to the fact if the United nations can be trusted in the Affairs of Africa or not.



After the elections the local authorities declared Laurent Gbagbo as the winner of the presidential elections in Ivory Coast. however a so called "independent" electoral body put in place by the UN later declared Ouattara as the winner.

Soon this video became public to the Ivorian community.....



However, the news and press release put out by the UN and France suggested otherwise and that Laurent Gbagbo's win was the fraudulent with. With the UN and France having domination of the international press and influenced the wider society. At this point Ouattara began his attempt of a military Coup De'tat to take over the presidential position. Their viscious activities was financed by the UN and France, and since then began the mass killings of innocent lives, whilst the majority of people believed this was an act of Gbagbo. But why would a president playing defence run out to kill people?



Below is Obamas input in which the interviewee spoke about.



And from the comments below on the Youtube page you can make a clear understanding of what the ivorians now think of Obama and the USA. Obama did not do his research, Gbagbos forces had called many times for a cease fire, and had accepted mediation by the UN, both with Ouattaras forces rejected.

Ivorians in Ivory Coast became very aware of the false propaganda being put around the world by France and the UN thanks to the likes of bloggers, facebook supporters, and youtube and began projecting their support for their elected president Gbagbo.





However Obama's call gave legitimacy to Ouattara and the French to make their way into committing the mass murders that have recently happened. Since then over 1,000 people have been killed, via burning and axes and bullets.

Now Ouattara is in the main capital along side the French blowing up schools, hospitals, houses, military camps alongside either the French or the UN army.



They are minutes away from siezing power. And minutes away from a monster who has no origin ties to the country and has contributed to the mass murder of over a 1000 people. Siezing power of Ivory Coast is a very serious message to Africa and all the celebrated 50th Independence Anniversaries. In the midst of Africa bearing so much wealth and Europe in a recession, the loss of Gbagbo will show us that when France, any other powerful nation wishes to force its way and take over an African country they will do it without the respect and intention of the people.



Currently, there are rumours Gbagbo is negotiating his departure from the presidential title at the mercy of the French. Without a strong stand of concern for our people we should quite asking why is Africa so rich and Africans so poor, the answer is in your failure to support the truth, because is our so called media chose to investigate the situation these atrocities and deaths would not have won support. A win to Gbagbo, who also has his flaws, although highly supported by the Ivorian, is a win for the people and a win for Africa. Even if he is removed the noise will rain, but our acceptance is our acceptance of beign exploited, abused, killed and raped off our so called independence and this is a prime example. Miss West Africa is not a political organisation, but we refuse to let 1,000 people die for one of the most incorrect scenarios without a statement. We will not go backwards, Africa will rise and even if Gbagbo is removed from power (which is set to take place today) at least we have a clearer understanding of what is going on.

God Bless Humanity and all supporters of Love of taking a stand for what is correct. We will try and update this page as much as possible so always feel free to refresh.

RECENT UPDATES: Update 05th April 2011, 6.47pm
Rumours on mainstream media claim Gbagbos minister of Affair is seeking refuge in the french embassy and has changed his stance and turned away his support from Gbagbo. Unfortunately, Gbagbos camp has reported this as lies, AND CLAIM, Alcide Djedje Gbagbo's minister of affairs, went to the french embassy on a mission to seek the immediate cessation of bombings by the French against Ivory Coast which has killed OVER 2307 civilian in one day. The Gbagbos camp claim France put this false information our to put pressure on him to come out and surrender to the French army.


RECENT UPDATES: Update 05th April 2011, 8.37pm
some news site in support of the UN and Ouattara claims from the UN camp state Gbagbo has been captured and has is presidential palace surrendered. They also claim he has began peace negotiations. News from Gbagbo supporters say this is a lie and an intention to relief the city of Ivory Coast from rebelling, they also claim it is an intention to reduce speculation and suspicions from the international community. Keep spreading the word. Here is an old video from Gbagbos daughter not to long ago.
Click here to watch, this video will only play if you have a facebook page.


RECENT UPDATES: Update 06th April 2011, 8.37pm
Yesterday's claims about the French Army and the UN finding Gbagbo and negotiating his departure are totally false. This was an intent to show to the international community that Gbagbo had surrendered is people even when he had not. They still have not found him. The French army continues to bomb hospitals, schools, and hotels, whilst the UN continues to put out false press to the rest of the world. If they found Gbagbo why is there not one picture showing the UN/French army alongside him. Yesterday around 7pm, he made an interview on radio saying if the people never chose Ouattara then he doesnt see why he should sign over his country to Ouattara, this is not part of their constitution. Since the French began their military attack over 2300 Ivorians died in the one day and more since. Russia has spoken out to denounce France's and the UN's activities, the AU (African Unity) has also come out to denounce them, and so has the South African president. France and the UN are in a race against time to kill Gbagbo before the international community turns their back on them and expose them for their war crimes. If you wish to hear Gbagbo radio interview on line watch this. But note you will need a french translator.

Click here to watch Gbagbos recent interview exposing the lies the french army gave that he sign negotiations to surrender Ivory Coast

Apparantly Gbagbos camp claim they only called in france to negotiate a cease fire between them and Ouattara, but they night the came into Ivory Coast they ignored their call for a cease fire, started bombing and killing over 2300 people in attempt to kill Gbagbo.
