Manage episode 345832241 series 3393816
The latest warlord to face justice for crimes in Liberia's civil wars goes on trial. We report from the court in Paris. In Lofa County where he is alleged to have committed most of his crimes people say they are grateful to see justice at last. And the US Ambassador for War Crimes visits Liberia promising funding for a war crimes court. Truth and Reconciliation Commissioner John Stewart tells us he is hopeful a court will happen soon.
And three months since the government's controversial act overhauling the Liberian Anti-Corruption Commission insiders tell us the corruption watchdog is barely functioning. What does that mean for our democracy one year from elections.
