Last week Monday, Charles Taylor aka pappy trial opened at the Hague. He never appeared citing he had lost faith in the UN-based court.
Taylor is charged with a plethora of crimes ranging from Terrorism, murder,sexual violence, enslavement to looting as well as using child soldiers.
At least, we hope that the system will convict Africa's worst warlord who's child soldiers fondly referred to as pappy. Some of his child soldiers had equally funny nick-names like: peanut-butter, bald-boy, butt-naked etc.
UK has offered to imprison him if he is found guilty after a process that is to take 12 to 18 months.
