That is what I intend to inform the Court about, indeed. Ms Hollis asked me to convey her apologies. She is at the moment attending to a prior engagement which is very pressing.

May I interrupt briefly, your Honour?

It's 808, your Honour, let me confirm that we have 808. It was originally 810. It's still 810. Your Honours, I thank you for the opportunity of addressing you this morning. My colleague, Mr Koumjian will take over.

Your Honour, the actual paragraph is 1238, paragraph 1238. It's 1238 to 1239, paragraphs 1238 to 1239. I'm sorry, your Honour, there has been a little bit of confusion about the renumbering of paragraphs.

Your Honour, regarding this point, the - there is absolutely no aspect of TF1-548's ...

Your Honours, I can - I don't know whether it makes sense to - give you the correct -

Your Honour, it's 984 again, 984, I'm sorry, it's a continuation of the same paragraph that I have dealt with.

I move on to paragraph 994 but, your Honour, may I just be sure that I'm dealing - these are very late additions to my argument and ...

I think I had finished with that actually. I move on to paragraph 986, and here the Defence assert that the probationary period for Foday Lansana, that's the same witness I just earlier referred to, relates to absconding from the NPFL and they cite his testimony of the 8th ...

Thank you, your Honour, I get the point. The quote is actually in paragraph 984, 984, and this is about eight lines, line 8 in paragraph 984.

May I proceed, your Honour?

I take the point. All right. Your Honour, I am informed that, in fact, the paragraph I'm referring to is the correct paragraph in the corrected Defence final trial brief.

If we look at the quote that I just read, it contains a number of assertions. First, the Defence say that in some accounts, that's in quote: "In some accounts, the arms and ammunitions were given to Charles Taylor - to Taylor by Bockarie."

Actually, in every account of this ...

Thank you, your Honour. Your Honour asked a short while ago about the paragraph - Justice Sebutinde asked about which paragraph I was reading this quote from. It's paragraph 1081, 1081. It actually does not fall within the range of paragraphs that I had earlier referred to that I'm ...

Thank you.

I was referring to paragraph 1068 to 115. I'll find the particular paragraph where this specific quote falls. I'll come to that in a moment.

I'm on paragraph 866. Also, regarding the same paragraph, 866, that is dealing with the alleged independent relationship that the Defence say Ibrahim Bah had with the RUF, a protected witness stated that when - that Foday Sankoh and Bah became friends in Liberia during the Liberian civil war, and ...

Your Honour, with this evidence that there had been the training at Camp Naama and there is a place called Sokoto where this -- Foday Sankoh and his fighters were trained, and the - this witness, 532, referring to a plan having been made in Camp Naama was obviously referring to that ...

Your Honour, I'm sorry, to get to the right paragraph -

Your Honours -

Thank you.

So, in fact, as a result of that accidental incident, Charles Taylor decided straight away to start the war and not to wait. And so this witness was not there at all. He came back from reconnaissance mission and found that the attack had already taken place.

Now ...

This is an incident that occurred at Bomaru, an incident where it is - it was testified in this Court that there was a misunderstanding amongst soldiers from both sides over a deal, and then that sparked off some fighting.

Thank you. This witness had a meeting, Foday Sankoh and Charles Taylor had a meeting with others, together with this witness, the next morning. Another witness, 523 - 532, TF1-532, he testified on 10 March 2008, and he, at pages 5669 to 5674, he states that the - there was a convoy ...

Your Honour, this is a protected witness.

Thank you, Madam President, your Honours. I will be addressing this Court on the corrected Defence final trial brief, and I will be covering a range of topics, but principally, I'll refer to the paragraphs in that brief, and then we'll discuss the issues that we will be ...

Thank you.

Thank you for the question, Justice Sow, as you yourself have rightfully pointed there is a question of prosecutorial discretion and that in many ways determines, helps the Prosecutor or is a tool that the Prosecutor uses to determine which witnesses they wish to call in support of their case ...

Thank you, your Honour. Madam President, your Honours continuing from where I left off, I will deal with Benjamin Yeaten.

Yeaten was also known as Unit 50 and he was Taylor's closest aide. Taylor and Yeaten's association began in Tajura Libya during Special Forces training when Yeaten was ...

Your Honours, I had the honour of speaking at the opening of the Prosecution's case and I'm honoured to now speak at its close. During the opening statement I referred to the Sierra Leonean saying, "Net long so tay, doh mus clean," meaning no matter how long the ...

Madam President.

Yes, your Honour, it's still frozen, in the same position, but I have the broadcast from Madam Court Manager on. I should mention also that my case manager has a similar problem; her LiveNote completely went blank.

There is a pointer flashing. I was minded to reboot, but the problem I had this morning was that I couldn't even log in, so I'm a bit apprehensive of doing that. I don't want to get into a situation where I can't even get out ...

May I interrupt? I'm having problem with my LiveNote, suddenly got a message, and I clicked on it, it is kind of frozen. I'm not getting a feed now.

Thank you.

It's with reference - regarding the reference counsel gave, I'm just trying to find the page. I'm not so sure, we have page 7034. Is it in relation to transcript of 8 of -

Just a point of clarification.

That is correct, your Honour, the witness testified with protective measures, and the Prosecution does not object to the witness's identity being disclosed to this witness in private session. Obviously, the witness may be better able to respond to questions put to him by counsel if he were given ...

Good morning, Madam President. Good morning, your Honours and counsel opposite. For the Prosecution this morning, myself, Mohamed A Bangura, and Ms Maja Dimitrova. Thank you.

I'm reading from page 77, line 4:

"Q. So what was the next news you heard concerning the

whereabouts of this group?

A. Well, later I came to know, when we came to Makeni, my

operator told me that he received an information from Buedu

that SAJ Musa had ...

Only that, your Honour.

Your Honours, the Prosecution requested two documents to be marked for identification, two photographs. The Prosecution will move the Court for the second of the two, that is, MFI-2, to be admitted as an exhibit. That is the photograph marked P0000864.

Your Honours, there will no further questions for the witness. Thank you.

This was to serve a ritualistic purpose, correct?

You served him soup which was prepared in a ceremonial way, didn't you?

Around the time that Sam Dokie was killed - after he was killed you did serve food to Mr Taylor, didn't you?

You have served Mr Taylor soup at some point in time, haven't you?

I believe you misunderstood my question. I'm not talking about sell. You have served - served - food to Mr Taylor before, haven't you?

You served food to Mr Taylor - you've served food to Mr Taylor before, correct?

Mrs Yeney, that loyalty which you have for Charles Taylor is what brings you here today to testify in his favour, correct?

You could not seek re-election in the House of Representatives again because you did not have what it takes to run an election and face the people. You did not have it, did you?

And the reason you did not run for it was because you did not have the popularity that it requires to run for that office. You were merely appointed there because of your loyalty to Charles Taylor, correct?

After you left office - after your tenure in the House of Representatives you went back into business and you are again in the Marketing Association. With the support and popularity which you have told this Court you had, you haven't been made president of that association again, have you?

I put it to you again that you held that position because of your loyalty to Charles Taylor, correct?
