Breaking Free: Chuckie Taylor's Journey Toward African Atonement
From behind prison walls emerges a voice seeking redemption, understanding, and a second chance. Chuckie Taylor – son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor – breaks his silence in this rare, unfiltered conversation that challenges our understanding of identity, atonement, and justice.
"The son must no longer pay for the sins of the father," declares Taylor as he navigates the complex terrain of his heritage while establishing his own distinct identity. Now serving an extraordinary 97-year sentence after what he describes as an unfair conviction, Taylor speaks candidly about his journey toward redemption and his vision for contributing to Africa's future progress despite his imprisonment.
What sets this interview apart is Taylor's repeated emphasis on apology and atonement. "I am one of few, if not the only, man of notoriety from Liberia's civil war who has publicly apologized to the people," he states, extending his remorse to anyone harmed by his past actions. This stance of accountability, coupled with his claims of legal innocence, presents a multidimensional portrait rarely captured in discussions of Liberia's troubled past.
The conversation takes an unexpected turn as Taylor reveals his hopes for clemency from President Donald Trump after a previous attempt was dismissed by the Biden administration. As he prepares to launch a public petition for support, Taylor makes a compelling case for reconsideration of his situation while acknowledging that mainstream media has largely blocked his perspective from reaching the public.
Whether you view his words as genuine transformation or calculated positioning, Taylor's voice adds a crucial dimension to ongoing conversations about war, reconciliation, and the complex legacies of Africa's recent conflicts. Listen as he makes his case directly to you, without filtration or interpretation, and draw your own conclusions about this controversial figure's path forward.

This call will be recorded and subject to monitoring at any time. To accept this call, press 5. To block this call an all-future call you may begin speaking now. Hello, lftg. This is Chucky Taylor, son of former Liberian President Charles Taylor, now more commonly known as Gomaesemel Tapanen. I've got a few things to share before the two-hour interview.
Speaker 1:The moment has arrived. I pursue openness, facilitate dialogue, discourse, mental exchange, feedback with the wider African, caribbean, afro-latino, black American community, regardless of background or political affiliation. At no time have I been afforded the opportunity to deeply speak. In fact, many have sought to reshape and alter the reality and fulfill biases and agendas. Prisoners compelled me to deeply reflect on who I was, what I was connected to, what needs to be understood and I need to emphasize world. Hear me clear despite the strong resemblance to former President Taylor, president Taylor's opponents, detractors, adversaries are not mine, not now or in the future. There is no need for the opponents of Mr Taylor to project their opposition onto me. This has been done for far too long. The son must no longer pay for the sins of the father. I personally have no enemies, no wish ill upon anyone.
Speaker 1:Despite all that has happened, in every interview I rendered a deep apology to the Liberian people. This was done in my first interview with Al Jarreau, second with BBC's Focus on Africa, audrey Brown and lastly, costa's Facebook Live interview. I see atonement as a duty, one that I will not flinch or shy away from. I repeat again I hold the feet and seek the forgiveness of anyone I may have offended emotionally or verbally, harm To those who were not advocated for when and where possible, to those who I could have financially or socially helped, to anyone that has been negatively impacted. Based upon my past actions, I am one of few, if not the only, man of notoriety from Liberia's civil war who has publicly apologized to the people. This is done for many reasons. Who has publicly apologized to the people. This is done for many reasons, one of the key reasons being I am part of Africa's future progress not just part of its past failure.
Speaker 1:Part of my future atonement will be contributing to Africa's upliftment, even if I never return back to Liberia. Wherever I will be in Africa, I will be among my people, working for its progress. To the elders in Liberia, sierra Leone, nigeria, ghana, burkina Faso, mali, niger, mother West Africa, mama Africa, I am your son. I request to the elders educate me, according to African customs and traditions, on how to atone for the harm to the people and to the land. Wisdom informs me a harm or tragedy upon one is a harm to all. I truly apologize for not living up to my fullest potential. I seek the wisdom from one and all and commit to the embrace of knowledge, wisdom and understanding. I repeat, from one and all. Whether you are Gula Pele Crown, mano Sapo Yaruba, ibu Dagon, afa, ashanti, dahomey Dagara, it doesn't matter. I pursue African wisdom. This declaration is a permanent one and it is a standard I seek to be held to To the Western NGOs, non-governmental organizations, human rights groups. While I fully stand by the unfair nature of my trial and innocence, I am not without fault. Educate me on the deeper principles of human rights and its promotion in Mama Africa beyond my own self-education. I declare. In no world should anyone be promoting human rights more than the African man, woman and child of the land and the descendants thereof. Aid me in becoming a vessel to promote human rights in all areas of African life, in war and in peace. I want to work tirelessly to contributing to the permanent reconciliation efforts in Liberia to make a stronger society.
Speaker 1:No matter where I am, I am a neutral party passing judgment on none. This is the first time an ex-dictator's son pushes such an agenda. I seek a part of Africa's future, not its past. Although born in Boston Mass, I became a man in Africa. I am a Gola man. Guided by my Trinidadian upbringing and heritage, I reject any Congo man-constructor designation. This time in prison has ushered me towards redemption, strength and self-correction, a journey I have fully embraced. This time has come for me to seek the support of the community. No man is an island. I am open to constructive dialogue. You can contact me directly with this information, roy Belfast. Contact me directly with this information, roy Belfast. Roy R-O-Y Belfast, b-e-l-f-a-s-t. Inmate number 76556-004. United States Penitentiary League, po Box 305. Jonesville, virginia, zip code 24263. And I want to reiterate again that this is this call is from a federal prison.
Speaker 1:I want to reiterate that this two-hour interview will be compelling. There's a lot that needs to be discussed and the truth needs to rise to the surface. Thank you all for listening.
Speaker 2:Before we end this dialogue, how much time do you have in right now?
Speaker 1:I have 18 years of being unlawfully convicted and I look forward to being able to make my case in reference to this.
Speaker 2:How much time do you have left in your bid?
Speaker 1:I have a 97-year sentence.
Speaker 2:Do you have any appeals that you're working on currently?
Speaker 1:I have no opportunity to get back in the courts at this stage. The only thing that I look forward to now is making an appeal based upon a potential clemency or pardon by President Trump, one that was dismissed, by the way, by the prior Biden administration under the former court attorney.
Speaker 2:Do you see any hope with Donald Trump?
Speaker 1:I do. I believe, from his past experience and his openness to think outside the box, that there is a strong potential for me to make the case. But, more importantly, strong potential for me to make the case. But more importantly, after this interview, I will be making a plea to LFTG listeners and supporters and asking them to support a changeorg petition to support my pardon and clemency after I make my case related to the unfair and wrongful conviction and prosecutorial misconduct linked to my case.
Speaker 2:All right, that sounds good. Lftg is here to back and support you in anything unjust, and I will get that word out to the people.
Speaker 1:Elliot, I appreciate it. What you're doing is powerful. Salutes and big up.
Speaker 2:Yes, sir, yes sir, it's greatly appreciated for you to trust this platform with your word and your story.
Speaker 1:Well, I'll be honest. Legacy Media has totally barred me from getting my voice out and from everybody who has interviewed me. Could have set the agenda, but I needed every outlet available to me. Legacy media is no more. It's these platforms that are going to get the truth out to the people, and I'm here to support you. There are a lot of real men behind these walls who have unlawful convictions and who are barred based upon how legislative legislation is constructed. Many people don't know that, even if you have wrongdoing in your case, if it's not brought up in a certain time, you will not be able to overturn your conviction. But that's another topic. But yes, thank you. This means a lot.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I'm glad we could help you, brother.
