Charles Taylor, Liberia and Sierra Leone

Dear Roger,

My name is Brandon and I'm in Mr. Theriault's Semester 2 World Issues class. Mr. Theriault gave us the opportunity to choose a genocide to present to the class and educate them about it. I chose to work by myself and present on Liberia and Charles Taylor. Seeing as it was sort of a special project, I asked him what kind of criteria he had for me, after giving me a list of what he would like me to have, he told me to ask you about Taylor.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me exactly what influenced Taylor's actions, but at the same time putting your own twist on it because I was told that you escorted (protected) Taylor to The Hague to be put on trial, and could tell me first hand because you were there. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my e-mail.

Brandon Thompson.

Is it the rebels causing the havoc?

Hi Roger!
My classmate and I were assigned a project on genocide and were wondering if you had time to answer a question. We understand that you are fighting over there and we want to know exactly why? Is it the rebels causing the havoc, and the army trying to stop it? What’s causing the trouble where you are located?
Yours truly Chelsey Macdonald and Robyn Hay!
