For over an hour in the stifling heat, I watched with a small crowd of journalists and fearful bussed in supporters as the evangelist lauded President Charles Taylor as a man of peace and god.
Charles Taylor now stands trial in the Hague accused of war crimes.
Less than 10 miles away, Taylor’s army of irregular forces, teenagers and children dressed in wigs and fairy costumes, attempted to hold off the LURD rebels who had surrounded the city.
At the end of the speeches the Dr and President left in the Presidential armoured limo. Days later Charles Taylor stepped down as President and was exiled to Nigeria.
