*Four years ago in March 2003, for the first time in Africa's political
history, a sitting president of a sovereign country was indicted by a
foreign hybrid court for war crimes and crimes against humanity.*
*That president was the all-defiant Charles Taylor, then President of the
Republic of Liberia. Some thought the indictment breached international
diplomatic protocol and could therefore not be translated into a court
