From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilton G. S. Sankawulo (born 1943) was the leader of Liberia from 1 September 1995 until 3 September 1996 as chairman of the Council of State, which governed Liberia following the overthrow and murder of former dictator Samuel K. Doe, and the end of the presidency of Amos Sawyer. The council of state consisted of a civilian chair and members Charles Taylor, United Liberation Movement of Liberia for Democracy-K leader Alhaji Kromah, Liberia Peace Council leader George Boley, and two other civilians. Sankawulo is also the author of Sundown at Dawn: A Liberian Odyssey [1].
Following elections held in July 1997, the council, then chaired by his predecessor, Ruth Perry, handed power to Charles Taylor on 2 August.
