Abstract

Africa is becoming less safe for dictators and warlords. Facing growing pressure to step aside, Charles Taylor, the warlord- cum-President of Liberia, finally left
Monrovia for exile on August 1. Besieged by rebels, indicted by Sierra Leone's Special Court for war crimes against humanity, and publicly told to go by President George Bush three times, Taylor was finally escorted into exile by the presidents of South Africa, Mozambique and Ghana following a ceremonial handover of power

But exile may no longer offer comfortable retirement for some of Africa's tyrants.
