'Forgive and forget' says Koroma. This statement by the head of the former AFRC junta is the height of audacity. May he go make this statement to the face of some of the victims who were tortured by his forces. He is in no position to make such a demand. In order for anyone to even consider forgiving him, Koroma must admit what he and his forces were responsible for and apologize and then perhaps the victims might consider forgiving. I doubt forgetting is an option for those who had their hands or genitals chopped off by the AFRC/RUF.
