ACCRA, GHANA, 6 MAY, 1996
major general roosevelt johnson SOT: saying we've been asked to attend the committee conference on liberia because there is a total breakdown of law and order. there is no government because of the irresponsible decisions made by mister taylor.
more sot: if you can recall the undersecretary of state for african affairs, mister moose said the united states wants a ceasefire and wants monrovia free of arms and everybody must attend this summit and i think mister taylor calling for a unilateral ceasefire is in the right direction
more sot: and he (taylor) asked me to surrender. i said me surrender to mister taylor to be slaughtered that is the last thing i will ever do. we fought them for six years to stop them getting power and even now he is killing people in an attempt to seize power. i think mister taylor should come to the talks. it would be good for him
