Re: Paved Road in Belle Yalla

Dear Madam President:

We write to extend compliment of the seasons to you, your family, and your administration. We also take this time to say thank you for fulfilling your promise to connect Belle Yalla to other parts of Gbarpolu and Liberia via a paved road.

For more than 162 years, the name Belle Yalla was mostly thought of as a notorious prison camp used to incarcerate tax invaders and political opponents. When you made the promise in May 2007 to construct road in Belle Yalla, a lot of people thought your promise was just a mere political rhetoric. Their skepticism was based on previous political disappointments in Liberia. You fulfilled your promised!

The fulfillment of your promise is a huge courage not only to the people of Belle Yalla or Gbarpolu County, but to Liberia as a whole. We are sure this road development will deliver social transformation to Belle Yalla and help erase the ugly or negative image about Belle Yalla.

From all indications, your administration is proofing to be ready for a system of transformation touches various aspects of the Liberian society, from consciousness to economy, from politics to values, from technology to organization, and from culture to community, with the goal to rebuild our nation’s image so as to stimulate growth, and provide opportunities for local and national involvement in productive activities in Liberia. In this respect, road, ‘one of which matters most to residents of Belle Yalla and the Belle District’ after more than 162 years, has finally been addressed.

We see that your administration’s approach is giving the counties the opportunity to identify, select, plan, and implement their own projects. This approach is very important in community development. It explains why the country as a whole is now realizing the current level of development.

Madam President, if Chief Boatswain, Chief Bambu Zinnah, Chief Karvee Gbagbar, Chief Karvee Weedor, Chief Mbargulomeh Youngar, and Chief Gbomblee were alive today, we believe they would all be beating traditional drums in your honor. For years, these chiefs witnessed local dwellers struggle to construct roads with locally, made materials while the central government relaxed in the Executive Mansion and ignored the interest of the people they claimed to represent.

But you showed the people of Gbarpolu, Liberia and the rest of the world that your administration is determined to develop Liberia. Nothing could be more serious than risking your health and life and the lives of foreign dignitaries by walking over two pieces of log (Mischief Bridge) and going the distance you walked in one of the world’s thickest forests.

Again, as we say in Belle parlance, “mu mama tegbelegba” (Thank you very much).

Yours truly,

Sam K. Zinnah
On behalf of Gbarpolu County Citizens in the Diaspora

	Elections Political point Liberia was founder by low level, uneducated, Stupid, inexperience, Corrupt BLACK American SLAVES.    After 162 years of independance, the reflection of who these people are still impact development in the nation of Liberia today.    As we celebrate the construction of a 20 miles road to the nation's popular prison camp. Our friends from near by countries are surpries and in doubt, of our so-called current SLAVE DECENDENTS leadership in Liberia.    The Ellen Administration started off with expensive overseas travels, bagging for money in their word, to rebuild Liberia. That was the role of the foreign minister.    The president play the role of foreign minister all these years, with the intension of keeping the contributions for herself.    Most of the money that was constributed to Liberia development never reached Liberia, apparently end up in government officials private overseas accounts.    After these many expensive overseas travels, nothing on the ground to show in return.    At one point the diplomatic community in Monrovia expressed doubt about releasing funds to the Ellen's administration.    Washington and Monrovia are having diagreement over Corruption elements out of Monrovia. The president of Liberia coming to released a book in America, what a shamed.    only a Liberian president will come to America for releasing a book that could be release in Liberia.    Ellen is now shamed and embarrass to travel to any country to bagged for money, in the name of developing liberia.    The writing is cleared on the wall. After the many contributions to Liberia's development. Ellen now has a hurge overseas account, and listed amoung one of african richer women. She own and Run a major medical facility in South African.    Taylor also has investment in South Africa. Taylor too used ships to loot liberia government properties, on his way to Nigeria.    This lead to the question every real Liberian is asking: What interest these SLAVE DECENDENTS LEADERS HAVE IN LIBERIA?    Ellen will not go to belle yalla if she was not shamed to go overseas with her freinds on the government money.    Ellen is only scoring political points for the upcoming 2011 elections.    Actually, the Ellen administration has no plan for Liberia. The SLAVE DNA IS STILL ACTIVE..IN THESE PEOPLE, AND THIS DNA (nagativetis)IS STILL A SETBACK IN LIBERIA TODAY.

	Please contact me, Sam Mr. WE... those people you called slaves help to secure the land called Liberia...plus, they're offspring of enslaved West Africans that make them to entitlement to their forefathers homeland. it appears you want to replaced them isn't it? jealousy is dangerous...I've travel extensively across Africa many a time there are no roads in the interiors therefore Liberia isn't the only spot on the block.    please stop the murdering of our citizenry. I will not sit around to see some jack just come to Liberia trying to preach genocide about Liberians.    Those returnees (AA) not only help to secure Liberia but many other West African countries. Check your history, ignorance is a crime.
