In particular, Sawyer argued that there is ample evidence now that Liberia—which he noted had collapsed around the end of the Cold War—is the epicenter of conflict in West Africa.
Sawyer further stressed that the depth of this crisis in Liberia could not be solved simply by holding elections and that no election in Liberia with Charles Taylor as a candidate would be free or fair.
Sawyer also suggested the use of an interim governing device to move Liberia toward a healthy democratic system in a post-Taylor regime.

In the period after the abduction (and eventual murder) of president Samuel Doe, from 9 September 1990 until 22 November 1990, principal mutineer "Prince" Yormie Johnson, and coconspirator Charles Taylor both made claims on the presidency.
In late August in an emergency conference in Guinea, Sawyer was voted interem president and Bishop Roland Diggs was voted vice-president by a delegation of 35 Liberians representing seven political parties and eleven interest groups gathered for that purpose.
