Yes! Everybody here wants peace. I even met a guy yesterday, we shook hands, hugged each other and told each other that we wanted peace."<br />SUPERCAPTION: Lieutenant Charles Tubman, Government Police Officer<br /><br />Nigeria has offered asylum to faction leader Roosevelt Johnson.<br /><br />Johnson, who was ousted from Liberia's government in March, issued no immediate response to the offer.<br /><br />But his possible departure raises hopes of at least a temporary halt to nearly nonstop anarchy in Monrovia that has forced civilians to cower in makeshift refugee centres like this one. <br /><br />It was not immediately clear, however, if Johnson's exile would satisfy his two main rivals: Charles Taylor and Alhaji Kromah.<br /><br />The U-S embassy is still under heavy guard - with barbed wire wrapped round the compound where hundreds have sought refuge.<br /><br />The Egyptian embassy has been torched - and countless foreigners have fled the country.<br /><br />Nevertheless, Nigeria, as well as Ghana and the United States, have made clear that further military and economic support could end soon if the government doesn't stick to the 1995 peace accord.<br />
