EX-WARLORD TAYLOR DENIES THAT HE EVER ATE HUMAN FLESH
Agence France-Presse
THE HAGUE — Liberia’s former president Charles Taylor on Monday denied that he had ever eaten human flesh or ordered his fighters to do so as he answered allegations of cannibalism at his war crimes trial.
“It is sickening. You must be sick to believe it,” the one-time warlord testified in the Special Court for Sierra Leone, sitting in The Hague.
“It makes you feel like throwing up.”
Taylor, 61, said he could not dispute that there were cannibals in certain parts of Liberia, but claims that he was among them were “total nonsense”.
A witness had testified at the trial that he ate human flesh with Taylor at a gathering of a secret society, Poro.
“It never happened,” the ex-president retorted, adding: “I never ordered any combatant to eat anyone.”
