Those who have committed political crimes when given mercy - try to rekindle the flames of war and hate again and again. That should not stop you from using non-violence to end the violence but it surely tries the soul. Pray that those working for peace have the strength to continue!

MONROVIA, 9 July 2009 (IRIN) - As an angry debate rages over the 200-plus people recommended for prosecution by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), an independent body set up under the 2003 peace agreement, civil society groups warn its many other recommendations risk being overlooked.
TRC spokesperson James Keargoi told IRIN: “Anyone who reads the whole report will see a very comprehensive list of recommendations that are essential to building peace – a review of government structures, a conflict-resolution forum in towns and villages, and reparations to victims of crime. The focus on all of these has been lost.”
Several TRC commissioners have received death threats following the report’s release, one commissioner confirmed to IRIN.
