- Not Quite a Breakthrough

- <p> For a moment, the stalemated civil war that has bled West
- Africa's most desperate country for 14 months seemed to be near
- a conclusion at last. No sooner had the peace talks in nearby
- Togo adjourned, however, than Liberia's chief rivals for power
- began disputing the settlement's terms. Charles Taylor, the
- guerrilla leader whose army controls the countryside, objected
- to a provision disqualifying him, as well as opposing
- commanders, from heading a transitional regime in Monrovia. "I
- expect to head the interim government," he announced. Prince
- Yeduo Johnson, whose force killed President Samuel Doe in
- September, denounced the statement: "Charles Taylor is not going
- to tell the Liberian people what he wants to be."
