 Beleaguered Liberian President Charles
Taylor was yesterday indicted for war crimes in neighbouring Sierra Leone by a United Nations backed special war
crimes court. He, however, said he might step aside if the move will restore peace in his war ravaged country.
Taylor, long accused of being the mastermind behind years of intertwined conflicts in West Africa, was attending
the opening ceremony of a Liberian peace summit in Ghana when the indictment was announced by the court. (This Day)

 In politics, according to an axiom, there is no permanent friend or
enemy, but permanent interest. By extension, in politics, there is no permanent respect, no permanent indignity,
no permanent loyalty, no permanent disloyalty, but permanent interest. These new extensions tersely explain the
relationship between the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero, and his subjects over the defeat of the ANPP presidential
candidate Major-General Buhari (rtd) in the April 19 2003 election. (Daily Independent)
