The Liberian parliament yesterday began an emergency session to discuss the departure of President Charles Taylor, who earlier decided against formally announcing his resignation to the body.

The special session of the Senate and Congress began at the Capitol Hill, the Liberian legislature, behind closed doors, a journalist reported.

Earlier, Taylor's spokesperson Vanii Passewe said that the beleaguered leader would not address the joint session but underlined that he would hand over power on Monday, as promised to west African mediators seeking to end the west African country's second civil war in little more than a decade.

"He's not going to the Capitol, but the legislators are meeting," Passewe said, adding: "For sure he'll hand over power on Monday". – Sapa.
