sirleafoutlookDear Editor,

I have been very quiet since the election of President Sirleaf. It was my hope and that of millions of Liberians that she succeeds, because of the long and difficult way from where we’ve come as a nation and people.

Weah's letter to the International Contact Group on Liberia
Written by George Manneh Weah, Sr   
Thursday, 28 August 2008
cdc2The preservation of peace and security, and the strengthening of our young democracy is primarily the responsibility of Liberians. It is with this conviction that I, as leader of the Congress for Democratic Change have had several interactions with President Sirleaf since her inauguration. In person, by telephone and through several written communications, I have offered my suggestions to President Sirleaf; not on how she should run her government, but on how all stakeholders can collectively tackle the national priorities of reconciliation, peace and security which clearly cannot be addressed singularly by the present partisan administration. Mostly, these suggestions have gone unheeded and the problems have continued to exacerbate.

Pro war-crimes court group submit atrocities document to TRC
Written by Mulbah K. Morlu, Jr   
Wednesday, 27 August 2008
trc_logo_2.gif.....we are delighted to submit to your office a systematic account of egregious atrocities committed by men loyal to individuals and institutional heads whose evasive testimonies before your team is a mockery of the pains inflicted upon their innocent victims. These gruesome actions were a part of a planned widespread systematic abuse, massacre, rape, murder, economic plunder and various atrocities meted against the Liberian state and some citizens of the international community. This document, which has been previously distributed and disseminated amongst members of the international community, refutes the malicious distortions of Mr. Alhaji G. V. Kromah, who has dodged responsibility of the heinous atrocities perpetrated by his lieutenants.  Click here to read full document >>>

liberia_grxPresident George W. Bush, in remarks during his visit to Liberia in February, 2008 said the following:

“...The name of your country, Liberia, means,  ‘land of the free,’ and there is no place I feel more welcome than a land where liberty is love and the hope of freedom reigns. This country was founded by former American slaves who came here seeking the freedom they had been denied in my country…”

amputeeThe Truth And Reconciliation Comes Full Circle

I don’t come here to discuss blood diamond business. If you know somebody blood on the diamond, if you know where it is, go to The Hague….” ~ Lewis Browne, former President Charles Taylor’s National Security Advisor.
 
By the way that’s the most brilliant quote I have ever heard. Yeap. When Lewis Browne built his huge mansion near the Roberts International Airport highway, he did it in broad daylight as if in defiance, like: wha’ you goin’ do ’bout this one huh, and with gusto; in the open for all to see.

Written by J. Yanqui Zaza   
Thursday, 21 August 2008
moneybag2Dr. H. Boima Fahnbulleh Jr. indicated that the poor and the elites would always fight each other to capture political power. He made the remarks at the hearing of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Such a fight for economic dividends also occurred in Italy, France, Russia, Great Britain, the United States of America, etc, but receded only after political leaders reached deals, which allowed governments to allocate money for education, etc.

Press Release : Cancellation of Delta Impex Contract
Written by Alfred G. Togbah   
Wednesday, 20 August 2008
Our attention is seriously drawn to the manner and form the contract was allegedly canceled. We believe that issues regarding cancellation of a Legal Contract should have been affected by the Management of the National Port Authority after exhausting all and every possible means without inflicting injury to the existing contract consistent with the rule of law.

Written by Alfred G. Togbah   
Monday, 18 August 2008
trcofliberiaWhile we are searching for the truth, the Movement for the Defense of the Down-Trodden Strongly believes that this can only be achieved when those charged with the responsibility to steer this process are void of emotional, personal and partisan alignment. Furthermore, the Movement would like to use this medium remind commissioners of the TRC about a legal axiom which says that “HE WHO COMES TO EQUITY MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS”.

Economic Analysis of Dual Citizenship: A social harm of social good?
Written by Chorphie Charlie   
Thursday, 14 August 2008
dual2The proponents of dual citizenship insist that traditional Liberians will gain economic benefit if such a law existed. Thus, this analysis adopts Ronald Coase Therom, which remains a foundational premise to explore LAW as an institutional framework for understanding the principle of economic efficiency.
