How To Un-Seat A Sitting Liberian President
A Guide To The 2011 Liberian General And Presidential Elections

Have you ever heard people telling you that there’s no body qualified to succeed a setting Liberian president? Better yet, have you ever heard people saying the only way to defeat a sitting Liberian president is for the opposition to unite and support one candidate? Any time you hear of these, just remember it is a back door concession on the part of the supporters of a sitting Liberian president conceding that their dear leader has failed or is failing, but trying to hide behind these two excuses to justify their continuing support for a failing and corrupt government. These are tactics used, or being used, to distract the people from focusing on the continuing excesses of the government. By planning these doubts in the minds of the people, the leaders are relieved of any much needed pressure to put their house in order, thereby making them and their supporters to feel invincible.

Dual Citizenship Laws Will Weaken Liberia’s Nationality And Undermine Her Heritage

Cletus Wotorson Jewel Howard

 

If few members of the Liberian law makers and their supporters have their way, the Liberian National Legislature could inflict on the nationality and heritage of Liberia an irreparable harm whose impact could be felt for generations to come when those who now championing this cause could be, as we say in Liberia “long and gone”. According to news reports, a group of four Liberian senators, all bearing the “senior” senator title, from Grand Kru, Bong, Cape Mount and Lofa counties, are sponsoring a bill in the Liberian Legislature which in their opinion will redeem Liberians who lost their Liberian citizenship as a result of taking up the citizenship of another country. In justifying their move, the four senators said; “We are seeking the repeal of the Aliens and Nationality Law to provide dual citizenship for Liberians at birth, who lost their citizenship due to the necessities of life and survival”.

Advancing Women & Girls in Liberia

"Women are part of the development agenda for the first time -- and we are making use of our time. Traditional culture has made us reticent. But, no more. Our eyes are now open and there is no way they will close again." These are the words of Liberia's Vabah Gayflor, Minister of Gender and Development. Soft-spoken and patient, when her moment comes to speak, her voice drops to a whisper that commands the attention of all in the room. The 19 philanthropists with whom I am traveling in Liberia are focused; we have met a truly powerful person.

By Anna T. Swen-Thomson

 

Dear Editor-In-Chief ;

Please allow me a space on your widely read news medium to express my concern regarding the lawsuit filed by Dr. Chris Toe, former Minister of Agriculture of Liberia.

 

Nearly two weeks ago , the Liberian public was alerted regarding a defamation lawsuit filed by former Liberian Agriculture Minister Dr. Chris Toe against FrontPage Africa (FPA), one of Liberia’s leading news outlets.

Elenilto Wins $1.6 Billion Liberian Iron Ore Rights

 

By Ansu Konneh

Jan. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Liberia awarded Israel’s Elenilto Mineral Mining Ltd. the rights to develop the $1.6 billion Western Cluster iron ore project, the West African country’s President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, said.

“We have finally come to closure on the concession bid for the Western Cluster iron ore deposits,” Johnson-Sirleaf said in a statement handed to reporters today in the capital, Monrovia. The cabinet will now start negotiations about developing the project with Elenilto, a unit of Engelinvest Group, she said.

The Western Cluster project consists of three deposits and two idled mines. The mines were closed in 1976 and 1985 and their equipment sold as scrap during Liberia’s two civil wars, the last of which ended in 2003.

In 2009, four companies submitted bids to restart development of the project.

Lofa's Violence: Carrying The Death


Mobs of rival ethnic and religious gangs last week roamed the streets of Voinjama, Lofa County, killing, burning and looting as hundreds fled in scenes reminiscent of the war. The bloodletting was sparked, according to eyewitnesses when a woman, 21, of the Lutheran School was found dead in Konia behind the school dead in suspicious circumstances that suggest ritualistic designs. The nearby mosque was then reportedly attacked, sparking to calls to Monrovia. Calls from Monrovia to Voinjama alleging that mosques were under attack ignited more violence that spread in Voinjama, sources said.
