Former President Moses Blah has directly linked Charles Taylor to the bloody civil war in Sierra Leone.
Mr. Blah linked the ex-Liberian leader to the Sierra Leonean conflict during the first day of his testimony.
Mr. Blah confirmed prosecution’s allegation that Mr. Taylor supported rebels who committed atrocities in Sierra Leone.
He revealed that he personally met the late RUF commander Foday Sankoh in Gbarnga Bong County.
Mr. Blah said during the meeting, Sankoh complained to him that the boys sent by Taylor to participate in the Sierra Leonean conflict were committing atrocities.
Mr. Blah said he later engaged Charles Taylor on the complaint by Foday Sankoh.
According to him, after the engagement, Taylor told him the war was not bread and butter.
A Liberian journalist covering the trial said Mr. Blah did not look in the face of Mr. Taylor throughout his testimony although Mr. Taylor was calm.
