I was opposed to the NPRC in Sierra Leone, and after the mass executions of alleged coup plotters without the slightest use of the legal system, my apprehensions hardened into disgust. The case of Komba Kambo has, however, left me feeling ambivalent rather than celebratory. Making the NPRC and their civilian collaborators pay for the excesses committed during military rule should gladden many hearts. After all, the politicians who served the NPRC in high positions did so because they wanted jobs at the expense of personal integrity. If I were an NPRC civilian Minister, the execution of 29 citizens by mindless soldiers will surely make me leave the country, followed by a resignation in absentia. None of the civilians did anything to pinch the conscience of the military after the dastardly executions. From that perspective, guilt and the blood of the executed will forever discolor the reputations the civilians that served the NPRC in executive positions.
The case of Komba Kambo leaves me with mixed feelings. I am almost feeling sorry for Kambo because he is singly paying for crimes committed in en masse. Strasser, Nyuma, Karefa, Komba Mondeh, and their civilian collaborators-in-crime, are all walking free while Kambo goes through purgatorial whipping in the United States. Federal prosecution of human right violators is indeed legitimate. However, injustice in the so-called Third World can never be reversed without equally punishing those who rob the poor to take residence in the safety of Western democracy. Komba Kambo and soldiers of his ilk belong to the military arm of Africa’s inhuman industrial complex. The political wing of this criminal syndicate can be found in politicians with stolen wealth living in the serene American comfort that could have been created in Africa. Poor Komba Kambo! I wish you a saner immigration judge!
