WASHINGTON (CN) - Seven years after his ouster from office, the legacy of destruction of the former President of Liberia Charles Taylor continues, according to President Obama, who has extended the state of emergency regarding Liberia declared in a 2004 executive order issued by former President George Bush.
That order froze all U.S. based assets held by Taylor, members of his immediate family and senior members of his administration, and barred them from engaging in any financial activity with people, organizations or corporations in the United States.
President Obama has extended the order for one year, until July 22, 2012.
