Monroviahe people of one of the most populous counties in

Liberia, Nimba elected Price Y. Johnson as their senator
for a second term of office in December 2014 to duly
represent them at the National Legislature in all
capacities.
But their lawmaker has been declared unfit by his colleagues to
perform the crucial function of working on the review committee
of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Liberia (TRC)
report.
The TRC overall made 207 recommendations which according
to President Sirleaf Presidents communication, eighteen (18) of
which she declared are essentially general principles which do
not lend themselves to practical implementation or actualization.
Since TRC completed and submitted its findings recommending
several actions including reparation, banning from politics for
10 years of some individuals, prosecution for economic crimes
amongst others, the recommendations remain unimplemented
but President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf recently wrote the Legislature
requesting the lawmakers to consider the setting up of a special
court to help in the implementation of the report.
Stated the President At the same time, we note the importance
of restorative Justice that is ongoing under several of the
policies, programs and initiatives covered in this report. This is
without prejudice to many future considerations by you in the
establishment of special Courts as recommended by the TRC
report.
The House of Representatives has already returned the President
status report on the TRC describing it as inclusive and empty.
The House acted on a report submitted by its joint committees
on Peace, Religion and National Reconciliation and Judiciary
which among many things, recommended that those institutions
of government which need to provide information on the TRC
recommendations be identified, and have them submit their
findings to the executive for onward submission to the legislature.
The Joint House committee, in its report, said it wants no
definite action taken by the legislature momentarily on the TRC
recommendations and that President Sirleaf is allotted more time
to present a glaring and succinct report to the legislature, whilst
the joint committees continue to deliberate on the report.
The committee also recommended that they be given time to
engage their constituents because the president, in her letter
to the legislature, lamented that the lawmakers have not made
readily available to the public previous reports on the TRC

recommendations.
The joint committee considers this a challenge and thus
recommend; that a Nation-wide tour be undertaken to engage
our constituents, solicit their views and submit a report based on
national consensus, the committee said.
In furtherance, the committee said, it is not in the interest of
Liberia and its people to hastily adjudicate judgment through
legislation or otherwise, situation that could have the propensity
to brew future rancor and acrimony, and recommended the dire
need for a postponement.
Senate setups committee
The senators while also discussing the President letter, opted
to set up a committee to review the status report and submit it
findings to the plenary of the body.
In setting up the senate committee, as one of the major
characters in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC)
recommendations submitted to the Government of Liberia,
Senator Johnson colleagues vehemently opposed his inclusion on
the special Ad hoc committee to review the document sent to the
legislature by the President.
The senate agreed in a motion to review the document through a
special Ad hoc committee that would comprise of fifteen senators,
each representing a county.
Senator Johnson (Independent, Nimba County) recently
during discussion on the TRC said it is unfair to recommend
those linked to the Liberian civil war for prosecution without
evidence. The Senator made the declaration during a discussion
on whether the senate should set up a specialized committee to
review a presidential request for the Truth and Reconciliation
Commissions report to be implemented.
Senator Johnson, in a transmission to his Nimba County caucus
colleagues, Thomas Grupee (NUDP-Nimba County), said the
presidents communication was legally guarded and that the
media took it out of context.
In his comments, the Senator cautioned his colleagues not to be
sentimental about the issue but to take a careful review of the
TRC Act emerging from the Accra Peace accord. According to the
Nimba Lawmaker, there is clear violation and abuse in the TRC
report of their rights without due process.
Said Senator Johnson: This is a critical document, I have gone
through it. There were seven commissioners but four differed.
They wrote their positions and gave it to the Liberian Senate. It is
unfortunate that this is a new Senate. The TRC wrote the House
of Representatives and Senate and there are sufficient documents

to show that there were gross violations of our rights and it was
politically motivated.
The committee is chaired by Senator Joseph Nagbe of Sinoe County
and co-chaired by senator Steve Zargo of Lofa County. Other
members include Senators George Weah, (CDC-Montserrado
County), Jonathan Kaipay (LP-Grand Bassa County),
Prince
Johnson (NUDP-Nimba county), Jewel Howard-Taylor (NPP-Bong
County), Morris Saytumah (UP-Bomi County) and Alphonso Gaye
(UP-Grand Gedeh County) amongst others.
Uproar against Johnson
When the name of Senator Johnson was called as one of those
on the ad hoc committee, there was an uproar in the Senate as
several senators expressed their disapproval in hushed tones.
Some Senators, including Gaye, Weah, Saytumah and Naathen
amongst others opposed the inclusion of Senator Johnson on the
committee because, in their opinion, Senator Johnsons inclusion
on the committee could damage the integrity of the committee,
thereby rendering its recommendation questionable.
Defending the inclusion of Senator Johnson on the committee,
Pro-Temp Armah Jallah said because Nimba has one slot on the
committee like other counties, Senator Thomas Grupee was
chosen but he instead rejected. Hence, it left him with no option
but to pick Senator Johnson.
After several minutes of arguments and consultations, the Senate
changed their decision by omitting the name of Senator Johnson
and forcibly replaced it with Senator Thomas Grupee who earlier
rejected his nomination on the committee.
Senator Johnson, like many other warlords, faced the nine
member commission in 2008. During his appearance at the public
hearings, the Nimba Senator told Liberians that he has not killed
anyone, a comment many Liberians saw as insincerity to the
higgest level.
President Sirleaf whose communication the Senate is setting up
a committee to discuss is also recommended in the TRC report to
be banned from holding public office for 10 years.
Legislative observers at the Capitol Thursday frowned at the
Senate decision against Sneator Johnson with many aruging that
if the senator is unfit, President Sirlraf should also not write a
communication worth discussing by the Senate because she is
also named in the TRC report.
The Nimba lawmaker while serving as head of the rebel group
the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL) along
with his men were captured on camera arresting and excuting
sitting President Samuel K. Doe.

THE
TREND
OF
VIOLENCE
IN
EDITORIAL LIBERIA AS AN EARLY WARNING
v

UNCOMPROMISING
STANCE ON RIA
REHABILITATION
Government Must
Avert Any Sabotage

THE ROBERTS INTERNATIONAL Airport (RIA), the major

international airport in Liberia is currently not on par with
other regional airports including the Kotokai International
Airport in Ghana, amongst others.

MANY AIR CARRIERS have complained about the bad condition

of the runway which at some point forced Air France into rough
landing creating mechanical problem for the aircraft.

AIR FRANCE LATER pulled out of Liberia and several other

international airlines continue to complain about the current
poor condition of the runway at the RIA.
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF the RIA including modernization
and rehabilitation project has been put at US$60.3 million, and
the Government of Liberia has already concluded arrangements
for the project to be financed by several means including the
Saudi Fund for Development which is providing US$20 million;
the Arab Bank for Economic Development for Africa which is
providing US$10 million; the Government of Liberia, US$3
million, and credit from the European Investment Development
Bank, US$27.3 million.
IN NOVEMBER 2014, THE European Investment Bank (EIB)
agreed to provide Liberia with a US$27.3mn loan facility over
20 years to rehabilitate the RIA. The EIBs long term loan is
expected to address safety issues and commence the upgrading
of the runway. Earlier this year, the Liberian Senate received for
ratification the EIB loan agreement in the amount of US$27.3
million.

CURRENTLY ONLY A few airlines operate at the RIA: Brussels

Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Kenya Airways, Air Ivoire and the
cargo airlines DHL Delta Airlines. Air France previously used
the runway but have since discontinued flights to Liberia.
THE AIRPORT UPGRADE is essential for Liberia and the
investment will allow Liberia to rehabilitate and re-brand the
airport, ensuring a compliance with international civil aviation
standards.

IN AN EFFORT to get the RIA project on footing, 16 companies

did site visits; and 4 including Eiffge, Dawnus, Lagan and Sino
Hydro participated with Sino Hydro eliminated at the technical
proposal stage
THE REMAINING FOUR companies EFFIAGE (France); Lagan
(Irish); Sinohydro (China) and Dawnus (British) submitted
bid for the project and in the end Eiffage, Dawnus and Lagan
participated to the end with Eiffage announced as the winner.
AFTER GOING THROUGH all the bidding process and other
requirements, one of the participating companies, Lagan is now
protesting and there are reports that it intends to write the
funders not to fund the project.

THIS THREAT BY Lagan shows that the company is self-centered

and has no interest in Liberia and its development especially an
essential project that has to do with the opening of the country
to more flights thereby leading to economic boom.

THE SELF-CENTERED QUEST by Lagan because of its desire

to make profits should not serve as an impediment to the RIA
project that is so important to Liberia.
LAGANS DESIRE TO get a big contract only to maximize profits
should not be at the expense of an entire country that is in need
of development and this should serve as a challenge to the
Government of Liberia to avert the threat from Lagan.
FOR TOO LONG international businesses and institutions have

By Ambrues M. Nebo, neboambrues@gmail.com/nebo1975@yahoo.com 0777531129/0888093805, Contributing writer

rom Peace and Conflict Studies, challenges faced

by many post conflict countries such as high rates
of crime, the trend of violence, unemployment,
lawlessness etc. pose potential threats to peace,
security and economic stability. In such country struggling
to mend the shattered pieces that embodies the fabric of its
society, the concept early warning become a viable tool that
helps policy makers in government to either direct or redirect
its focuses on challenges that pose potential threats to the
reconstruction efforts.
Given the trend violence is taking into the our society, this
article attempts to carefully provide reasonable argument that
will convince all of us especially the government clothed with
legal mandate of maintaining peace and security to view the
wave of increase in violence as early warning.
In relation to conflict prevention, the concept early warning
can be conceptualized in the following ways according to
notable scholars.
Lund (1994) conceptualized the concept as addressing
problems the moment they emerge is generally better than
responding after have grown into less manageable scale.
Rupensinghe (1994) posited situation in conflicting goals
are controlled so as to avoid the development of hostilities.
Though phrased in different versions, it is safe to infer that the
two scholars simply mean that the aim of early warning is to
prevent violent conflict.
From a statistical perspective, early warning also has to do
with the collection and analysis of reliable data that may
be regarded as signals for potential violent conflict. This
conceptualization arguably invalidates the notion or argument
that early warnings are just mere prediction.
In the academic discipline of Peace and Conflict Studies, it is
argued that violent conflict as in the case of armed conflict or
civil war is caused by ignoring early warning or the society
failure to strategically act on early warning. By society, it
suggests the government, civil society religious organizations,
political parties etc. For post conflict societies that ignore
early warning, it is arguably easy for violent conflict to reoccur
in different dimension because of its fragility.
For example, it can be argued that Burundi as a post conflict
country has relapsed into political instability characterized
by violent conflict due to series of protests against President
Pierre Nkurunziza decision to run for a third term in the 2015
election. These series of protest regardless of their duration
can be equated to early warning signals ignored that led to
40,000 people fleeing for safety in neighboring Rwanda, the
Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. (UNHCR
2015)
In the case of Liberia, all of the conceptualizations of early
warning are applicable especially the statistical definition that
quantified or catalogued reported cases of violence as data
collection. Below catalogue some notorious cases of violence
that provides reasonable grounds for acting on early warning
yet to claim our attention as a nation.
- The October 2004, we experienced a religious violent
conflict precisely in Paynesville between groups of people
identified as Muslims and Christians. Most of those involved
were predominantly youths.
- In 2011 dozens of motorcyclist burned down Police station
in Saclepea due to United Nations Mission in Liberia, UNMIL
vehicle that crashed into a motorcyclist between the Tappitasaclepea highway, leaving the motorcyclist dead.
- In 2011, aggrieved students, in Monrovia and its environs

went on the rampage due to Youth and Sports Ministry delayed

in paying vacation compensation. Evidently, properties were
damaged and looted.
- In 2011, post-election violence that resulted in looting and
damage of properties.
- In 2014, aggrieved students set ablaze a Pentecostal Church
School near Vamuma House.
- For 2015, violence continues to unfold. The Yekepa episode
that led to properties worth millions of dollars for Arcelor
Mittal; the recent Ganta episode that targeted humans
and properties damage; the Golden Veroleum concession
episode in Butaw, Sinoe County resulted into properties
damaged and holding expatriates hostage; the River Gee
episode that burned down police station and a truck ; the
recent Paynesville, Red Light situation that burned the
depot; continuous violence targeting the National Soccer
Team due to what is described as poor performance on the
field of play. Moreover, in Rivercess County, some aggrieved
students of Cestos High School broke doors, windows, chairs
and other furniture in the administrative building housing
the Superintendents compound chanting, No renovation, no
school, no By-Election.
From the trend of violence till now as catalogued in this article,
it is safe to advance the argument that we as a nation is yet to
treat or look at the increase of violence from early warning
perspective. Arguably, the wave of violence is claiming our
attentions only because of what may happen when UNMIL
shall have departure in 2016. All we have done in past and
now is to condemn violence in the strongest term. Of course, it
signals our disapproval. However, it is not the best prescription
as far as early warning is concern. If we are to prevent the ugly
manner in which our youth handle grievances, we must get
to the bottom of this social problem that pose serious threat
to our fragile peace. Prevention that is not a one-size-fits-all
approach suggests that we consider the trend of violence as
a national priority that will invest in the future of our youth
believed to our future leaders. This is because almost all of the
violence are staged by them. This is the main reason why the
UN High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change refers
to youth as a potential threat to security; that a surging youth
population combined with unemployment, urbanisation and
other factors can lead to violence or a relapse into conflict. In
the case of Liberia as a post conflict society, this assertion is
a fact.
One may argue that despite the trend of violence, we have
celebrated a decade of peace, so how can the wave of increase
in violence threaten our stability? As a concept in Peace and
Conflict Studies, peace is not only the absence of war. Arguably,
it is also the absence of that which threatens peace itself. In
the case of Liberia, the increasing wave of violence threatens
what I call our young peace. This conceptualization of peace
does not mean that other societies are free from violence.
What is of significant concern is the trend or wave of increase
that overwhelm our security coping ability while using its
own recourses.
In summation, it is argued that most post conflict countries
that relapsed into violent conflict stems from either ignoring
early warning or failing to recognize and act on the indicators
of early warning. With the trend violence is taking, one can
rely on early warning to predict the future of Liberia stability.

used Liberia as a farm just for profit making, caring less about the
development of the country.

THIS IS CRUEL and must stop, the Government of Liberia needs

to show to international companies such as Lagan that their
quest for making huge profits should not stand in the way of
development.
LIBERIA DEARLY NEEDS the RIA to be renovated as fast as
possible to repair the runway which if not done could put the
country at risk of not getting flights coming in during the next
rainy season.

THE IRISH COMPANY THREAT to complain to the funders of

the project is counterproductive to the development of Liberia
and the Government of Liberia must stand firm to teach Lagan a

lesson that Liberia is a sovereign nation and the country decides

who it wants to do business with once all the laws governing
contracting are scrupulously followed.
THERE IS NO REASON why a single company should hold Liberia
hostage in the wake of the urgent need for a modern airport to
pave the way for more flights to the country.

THIS IS LIBERIA and not Ireland, the Government of Liberia

has a responsibility to the Liberian people to get the RIA on the
right footing and nothing must stand in the way of this essential
project.
The onus is upon the Government of Liberia to avert any threat
to the success of the RIA project.

POLITICAL STATEMENT
FREDERICK JAYWEH EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AT CENTER FOR
IMMIGRANTS AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES, (CIIS)
Did Mrs. Sirleaf nominate and commission the former finance Minister
of Nigeria to Represent Liberia at an international function?
Why is Mrs. Sirleaf in constant violation of the Constitution and
Ststutory Laws of Liberia with absolute impunity?
Well, when the National Legislature of a nation is consistently bribed
by the President to have her way done, this is what Liberia gets.
Wow, Mrs. Sirleaf really thinks the constitutional power to appoint
in Liberia certainly includes appointing every citizen of West Africa.
WOW!
While one powerful NIGERIAN Minister faces arrest and possible
prosecution in the UK for allegedly STEALING billion of Nigeria's Oil
money, the other Minister is unlawfully appointed to Represent Liberia.
Is this why some Liberians are opting for a Ghanian style of Revolution
to change Liberia?

JARWINKEN WIAH CASEWORKER AT BENSON COUNTY SOCIAL

Here is why we have the current situation in Liberia. When the 5th
President of the United States James Monroe saw repatriating the
former slaves to Africa as a way to end slave trade in the U.S. and to
avoid an uprising in the U.S.
Several of the colonies joined together to form the Commonwealth of
Liberia in 1838 and Liberia declared its independence in 1847. The
name Liberia originated from the word Liberty or freedom, and the
capital city of Monrovia was named for President Monroe. This new
country was created with the objective of providing freedom, prosperity
and justice for all. Because of this objective, the wording on the official
seal of Liberia is The Love of Liberty Brought Us Here. It is now 168
years, but the vast population of Liberia has not experienced true
freedom because the appropriate mechanisms for creating awareness
empowerment structures for equal opportunities for all Liberians
have not been put in place. The founding of Liberia was meant to end
enslavement and was intended to appease the segment of Africans who
were victims of the slave trade. The second aspect was the creation of a
new country based on rule of laws and strong institutions but Liberian
leaders main concerns for the 168 years have been personal gains
for themselves, families and friends. Personalizing the resources of
the country when one is the position of power and control is the only
experience all Liberians. This culture grew out of the returnees because
it was the only thing they also learned from their former slaves masters
from the United. We must change this culture because this is part of the
fundamental problems for Liberia. Liberia's problems are not due to
ethnicity and religion or any particular tradition, instead they are due
to the nonexistence of awareness and empowerment structures.
JESSE FAHNGON METROPOLITAN STATE UNIVERSITY
I didn't expect for ALL ministers in the EJS government to hang in there
with her for 12 unbroken years. REALITY FOLKS! Secondly, presidential
appointees follow the "At Will" doctrine. Meaning either the President
or appointee can let go at anytime. Big news for ministers to quit but it
is part of public service. Maybe in Liberia we see being a Minister as a
profession. So folks stay in for 10 years behind one wood calling it desk.
ELIJAH BARNARD UNIVERSITY OF LIBERIA
I don't know if I mistakenly read part of this story which said that
President Sirleaf was represented at a function by a former Nigerian
minister.? Someone please tell me quick quick that I misread the sorry.
More to come.
JAMES DAVIS
OK , let reason this out together , shall we ? First , the author of the
article did not say at which functions did the former Nigerian Minister
represented the President while the Foreign Minister was present .
Was this a world Bank function , United Nations functions ? If so , at
what capacity ? UN women conference that was to be chaired by the
President , but was then co-chaired or represented by the former
Nigerian Minister while the Foreign Minister of Liberia was present ?
The author did not say whether the Nigerian Minister was still active
in her government or not . But one thing that is clear , is that the
President of Liberian belongs to so many organizations which she also
chaired with a co-chairperson or persons . And should the President be
unabled as in this case , her co-chairperson can represent her . The is
not like government to government signing agreements or one that is
representing the country Liberia . The author speaks of representing
the President Sirleaf at some unknown functions , but not in the
capacity of representing the Republic of Liberia at some functions .
The President just received an award , but anyone could represent the
President to receive that award on behalf of the President while the
Foreign Minister of Liberia is present . Especially , if it is coming from
an organization for which the President is a member . The author is
not very clear , neither did he asked the right question to find out the
reason why .

LENIENT SANCTIONS

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION FROWNS ON LOW PROSECUTION OF RAPE CASES

The case also highlights the leniency of the Liberian legal system towards traffickers because the traffickers received
lenient sanctions from the law-Cllr. Gladys Johnson, Head of the Independent National Human Rights Commission

incidents is the Middle

East and Gulf States where
unsuspecting Liberian women,
in pursuit of good jobs to
enable them make decent

Monroviahe
Independent
Commission
on
Human
Rights
(INHCR) says the
frequency of rape is alarming
and must be tackled by the
state in prosecuting the
perpetrators.
Releasing the Commissions
2014 report, its chairperson,
Cllr. Gladys Johnson said the
frequency of rape, including
gang rape, has become
increasingly alarming.
She disclosed that during the
year under review, 1,200 rape
cases were reported, affecting
women, girls and infants.And
of those cases, she said, less
than 3 percent was prosecuted.
Speaking on domestic violence
Cllr. Johnson added that it is
widespread across Liberia
and it negatively affects the
wellbeing of women.
The real challenge for curbing
domestic violence is its near
acceptance by almost every
ethnic group, irrespective of
social status or class, she said.
While rural women suffer
most from incidents of
domestic violence, there are
instances of urban educated
women also experiencing a
high prevalence of domestic
violence as well.
She
stated
that
poor
enforcement of immigration
regulations
at
Liberias
borders has increased human
trafficking. The number of
reported trafficking cases
has been spiraling upwards
primarily because of poor
enforcement of immigration
regulations at border points
and domestic adoption lapses.
The
INCHR
commission
continued: The epic center
of most reported trafficking

lives for themselves and their

families, are unfortunately
trafficked.
She added that the trafficked
victims are not only exploited,

but they encounter myriads

of degrading and inhumane
treatments, including being
forced to engage in involuntary
prostitution, working for far
below the minimum wage
and beyond required working
hours amongst others.
Additionally, the case also
highlights the leniency of
the Liberian legal system
towards traffickers because
the traffickers received lenient
sanctions from the law, Cllr.
Johnson said.
Cllr. Johnson disclosed that
there are also cases of internal
trafficking in which children
from rural Liberia, who are
promised better education,
are also victims to trafficking
as they languish in urban
towns.Oftentimes, they are
used as petty street peddlers
or are forced to engage in
prostitution as well and
servitude.
The Government is yet to
engage in any sustained
education initiatives such
that the population better
understand
the
dangers
of trafficking and how the
population can take positive
steps to prevent the occurrence
or frequency of trafficking, she
states.

Speaking on the issue Female

Genital Mutilation, the INCHR
boss said the practices of Sande
and Poro have undermined the
rule of law.
She recalled the police officer
who was forcibly initiated in
the Poro in Gbarpolu County
while in Grand Cape Mount
County, several members of
the Poro gang-raped a woman
and escaped arrest.To date,
most of the rapists remain at
large, she said.
Cllr.
Johnson
said
the
likelihood is very little that the
alleged rapists will ever face
justice, consistent with the
law. The most that was done
by government was to have
arrested the leader of the Poro
and have him and detained
without trial up to the period
of this report.
She stated that Liberia is
endowed with several rich
traditional customs just as
it is also troubled with some
unfavorable ones.
FGM, widely practiced by
nearly half the tribes of Liberia,
remains a vexing problem
which previous governments
and even the current one
have failed to eradicate. The
primary reason for this failure
has been the Governments
unwillingness to lose political
support with tribes who
practice FGM, she added

She said despite the adequate

awareness about the harmful
consequences of FGM, both
local and national leaders are
timid to address this practice.
She
chastised
politicians
who blindly support the
practice. Said Cllr. Johnson:
Most educated elites of
FGM practicing tribes do
not initiate their children
in the Sande schools. But
because they benefit from
a populist platform, they
never openly criticize the
practice. During the reporting
period, both voluntary and
forceful initiation of girls were
reported in Lofa, Bomi, Grand
Cape Mount, Gbarpolu and
Margibi Counties.
Even during the peak of the
Ebola outbreak when the
Ministry of Internal Affairs,
which regulates traditional
practices, was constrained
to issue a directive aimed at
restricting the operation of
Sande Schools, FGM remained
undisturbed notwithstanding
the restriction. In instances
where the MIA did order
temporary suspension of the
Sande Schools, the traditional
leaders ignored the MIAs
instruction; hence, the schools
remain operational.

INCREASING HARDSHIP
Female Genital Mutilation

Gobachop Market Dumpsite Turns Feeding Center for Scavenger

Kennedy L Yangiankennedylyangian@frontpageafricaonline.com, 0777296781

Monroviaobachop
Market
in the commercial
district of Redlight was scene

of attraction and disbelief

to many passers-by during
the weekend who stood and
stared in awe as a young
man believed to be in his

early thirties scavenged for

leftovers.
Many thought the man
might be mentally deranged
but from a very closed

observation, it was realized

that he was not but rather in
search of food.
Onlookers on the scene called
on him to leave the garbage

due to the health hazard it

poses but he retorted it was
none of their business.
Leave me alone, it is none of
your business if I find food on
the dump site to eat, said the
young man who paid no heed
to the many calls made by the
curious onlookers.
Ma HawaKollie, a middle aged
woman who lives just a stone
throw from the dumpsite,
told FrontPage Africa that the
young man was not the only
one flocking to the Gobachop
Market dumpsite searching
for leftovers.
Ma Kollie, as she identified
herself, told FrontPage Africa
that many of those who come
to the dumpsite in search
of food are not crazy but
are rather hungry and they
cannot afford.
According to the middle-aged
woman, the dumpsite is not
only used for dirt but are also
used as toilets for some of the
community dwellers at night.
The hard time in this
country nowadays is causing
people to do lot of ugly things.
When you see young people

searching in this dirt for food,

you can feel very sick to your
self,said Ma HawaKollie who
is also a petty trader.
She said that the community
leadership of Gobachop has
informed the police and
Paynesville City Council
about how people are
roaming the dumpsite for
food and the need to prevent
that but to no avail as the two
entities are yet to act.
We have informed the police
and Paynesville City Council
(PCC) about what is taking
place at this dumpsite site
every day but no one cares to
intervene, she stated.
According to Madam Kollie,
the garbage in the Gobachop
Market sometimes spent
about a week before it is
cleared by the Paynesville
City Council, though the
market authorities collect up
to LD$420 on a daily basis for
garbage fees.

Operations,
Darlington
George and his alleged
accomplice James Tamba
finally started Thursday
when
the
defendants
appeared before his Honor,
John Gbetee to answer
charges filed against them.
Darlington George, charged
with simple assault and
criminal
facilitation,
answered charges separately
from his alleged accomplice,
James Tamba who was also
charged with aggravated

to commit murder.
After listening to both
arguments from the defense
and the prosecution counsels,
Magistrate

Gbetee

George and Tamba.
George is scheduled to
reappear in court Monday
October 19, 2015 while
Tamba is scheduled to
reappear on Tuesday October
20, 2015.
Due to the lateness of the
day, the prosecution counsel
prayed the court that the
defendants trial continue on
Monday October 19, 2015
to enable the prosecutorial
team produce all of its
evidences for the case.
Judge Gbetee adjourned
the case and instructed the
defense team to provide valid
bail bonds for George and
Tamba.

By Edwin G. Genoway, Jr (231886458910)Edwin.genoway@frontpageonline.com

President Ellen Johnson

Sirleaf dismissed Darlington
George upon hearing that he
allegedly brutalized a woman,
Esther Glain of Barnesville
Estate. It is also reported that
Darlington George alleged
accomplice, James Tamba,
was also suspended for time
indefinite for his link to the
saga.
Still enjoying immunities

Since his dismissal, George

still seems to be enjoying
the confidence of the EPS
as he was seen escorted by
an EPS marked vehicle EPS
76 on Friday at the court in
Barnesville.
Georges alleged accomplice,
James Tamba was also heavily
guarded with the presence of
EPS personnel riding in the
same EPS 76.

The EPS 76 vehicle drove

James Tamba off after the
court proceedings while
Darlington George was seen
given instructions to the
driver of the EPS 76 vehicle
when he (Darlington) came
out of the court.
George was smartly dressed
in khaki Vai suit, brown shoes
and dark sunglasses.

NEW FACE ON THE BLOCK

s the 2017 general elections draw

closer, scores of Liberians continue
to throw their hat in the battle the is
expected to be heavily challenging.
The latest to be petitioned by Montserrado
County district #6 residents is a son of Nimba
County Mr. Alexander Duopu.

at the Gbengbar town town hall last weekend,
the district six residents in their quest to elect
a man of their own comes 2017 assured Mr.
Duopu their untiring support until he becomes
the next President of Liberia.
In their petitioning statement, the elders of
Gbengbar town,
, we want to get the Liberians informed that
this man (Alexander Duopu) is the son of the
soil). So the Gbengbar town elders, women and
sons have decided today to petition this man
as our true son of the soil and our incoming
president, Jerry

Grand Bassa Senator makes Ten Propositions

in Constitution Review Process
Alpha Daffae Senkpeni, daffae82@gmail.com

rand
Bassa
County Senator,
J o n a t h a n
Kaipay wants
10 of the 25 propositions
submitted
by
the
Constitution
Review
Committee (CRC) in the
final report after the
National
Constitution
Conference (NCC) put
forward by the Liberian
Senate for a national
referendum expected in
2016.
President Ellen JohnsonSirleaf
on
August
13 submitted to the
Liberian Senate the NCC report but indicated her agreement and
disagreement with aspects of the report.
And on August 26, the Grand Bass County Senator (Liberty
Party) wrote the Liberian Senate requesting the body to request
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to make an official withdrawal of
her points of agreement and disagreement while stating in his
letter that the President had violated Article 1, 35, and 91 of the
1986 Constitution of Liberia. He also accused President Sirleaf of
interfering with the Legislative Branch of government.
Recently, Senator Kaipay embarked on a consultative tour with
hundreds of his constituents in Grand Bassa seeking their views
on the 25 propositions out of which 10 have been labeled by the
Senator as critical points.
Reduction of the term of office for the President, Senatorial,
and Representatives and the abolishment of dual currency are
amongst the ten propositions. The election of the Chief Justice,
and the election of Superintendent, Mayors and Chiefs, as well
as the election of the National Election Commissioners are also
labeled critical points by the Senator.
Also, traditional community ownership of land and their
involvement in concession negotiations, equal access to economic
and social opportunities for women, and inheritance right for
traditional women complete the list of ten propositions Senate
Kaipay says he will lobby for at the senate for as propositions in
the national referendum.
The lawmaker said he has held town hall discussions in various
districts adding that hes confident many of his colleagues at the
senate will endorse his proposal.
Declaring Liberia a Christian State and the issue of the dual
citizenship have sparked mix views since the CRC begun its work
to amend the 1986 constitution. Christians and their Muslim
counterpart have presented arguments with the latter calling for
the country to remain a circular state.

Alexander Duopu petitioned to

contest 2017 presidential race

said amid huge applause.

Elder Toe warned Mr. Duopu to refrain from
making unfulfilled promises but rather be
honest and committed in his pursuit.
We strongly believe that our son Duopu can
make things happen for us when he is elected
President of this country comes 2017, Toe
said.
In response to the petition, Duopu said he is
grateful for the confidence placed in him by
the people of Gbengbar to contest the 2017
presidential election.
Said Duopu: We dont have much time. But I
much encourage you to be willing to stand for
what you believe in. In doing so, we must reach
in every home, every community, town village,
district, city and county to ensure that our
people are engaged and the message is passed
on.
Duopu told his supporters not to be deterred
by the proliferations of political parties but to

work harder to make their dream a success.

Duopu called on Liberians to be nationalistic
by taking ownership of the coming political
process, adding that his team will give Liberia
a rebirth.
Continued: If given the opportunity and the
honor to serve my people as the president of
this country 2017, I promise to work together
with all Liberians, to stand by every Liberian,
to bring about new ideas and new solutions
that will build and strengthen our country and
to restore our position in the community of
nations.
Duopu called on Liberians to put their ideas
together, forgetting their backgrounds and
rebuild Liberia.
We must tear down the wall that separates
us and build the bridges that will unite us. Let
us stand together and work for the change we
desire in this nation, he noted.

BURKINA FASO'S THOMAS SANKARA

REMAINS 'RIDDLED WITH BULLETS'
JOHANNESBURG BRIDGE COLLAPSE:
TWO DEAD IN SOUTH AFRICA

1987 revealed they had only

one or two gunshot wounds.
"But as far as Thomas
Sankara was concerned,
there were more than a dozen
all over the body, even below
the armpits," Mr Farama is
quoted as saying.
Soldiers linked to Mr
Compaore were behind
last month's putsch, which
delayed
presidential
elections due last Sunday.
Burkina
Faso's
interim
government
has
now
rescheduled the poll for
Tuesday 29 November.
_______________________________

wo people have been killed and around 20 injured when

a temporary bridge collapsed over Johannesburg's
main motorway, South African emergency services
say.
The bridge collapsed onto the main highway between
Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria, during rush-hour.
The accident happened near a busy slip road to the Sandton
financial district.
Emergency services were still attempting to reach some of
those trapped, late on Wednesday afternoon.
"At least five of the injured are critical and the numbers may
change as there are still people trapped beneath the structure,"
Chris Botha, a spokesman for privately-owned emergency
services company Netcare 911, told the Reuters news agency.

bout nine months ago, Pauline Cafferkey was

discharged from a London hospital -- seemingly
signaling her victory in beating Ebola.
Now, not only is Cafferkey back in the hospital with a
rare relapse of the deadly virus, but she's gotten worse.
London's Royal Free Hospital announced Wednesday afternoon
that "Cafferkey's condition has deteriorated and she is now
critically ill."
The hospital didn't elaborate on the news about the Scottish
nurse, who last year became the first person diagnosed with
Ebola in the United Kingdom. But it's not a good sign, coming
five days after the same medical facility confirmed Cafferkey
had been transferred there from Queen Elizabeth University
Hospital in Glasgow "due to an unusual late complication of her
previous infection by the Ebola virus."
That day, the Royal Free Hospital indicated that Cafferkey
was in "serious condition" and being treated in a "high-level
isolation unit."

GUINEA ELECTION: POLL VALID BUT

DISORGANISED - EU MONITORS

uinea's presidential election on Sunday was valid but

there were severe logistical difficulties, according to
EU election observers.
This comes after opposition called the vote fraudulent
and demanded a re-run. They also threatened to protest,
something the observers urged against.
The final result is expected in the next few days.
It was the country's second democratic presidential election
since it gained independence from France in 1958.

n autopsy shows the

supposed remains
of Burkina Faso's
former
leader
Thomas Sankara are "riddled
with bullets", his family's
lawyer says.
The family is still waiting for
DNA results to confirm the
body's identity.
Seen
as
Africa's
Che
Guevara, the anti-imperialist
revolutionary was hastily
buried in a 1987 coup.
Permission for an exhumation
was denied during the 27year rule of his successor

Blaise Compaore, who was

ousted in an uprising last
year.
Africa Live: BBC news
updates
Mr Compaore has always
denied being involved in the
ex-leader's killing, insisting
that the "facts are known"
and he has "nothing to hide".
While he was in office, a
Burkina Faso court blocked
a request by Mr Sankara's
family for his remains to be
exhumed.
That changed last year when
a transitional government

came in after street protests.

The exhumation started in
May but the autopsy report
was delayed during last
month's seven-day coup.
Ambroise Farama, one of
the lawyers representing
the Sankara family, said that
the revelations about Mr
Sankara's body were "mindboggling", the AFP news
agency reports.
"You could say he was purely
and simply riddled with
bullets," he said.

Matching paint
Presenting its findings at the
Gilze-Rijen military base in
the Netherlands, the safety
board showed plane parts
that had been brought back
from the rebel-held Donetsk
region and reconstructed.
Board president Djibbe
Joustra said the impact
pattern could not have been
caused by a meteor, an airto-air missile or an internal
explosion.
Instead, he said, a warhead
carried by a surface-to-air
missile had detonated above
the left-hand side of the
cockpit, causing structural
damage.
Mr Joustra said the missile
was a Buk - which experts say
both Russian and Ukrainian
armies possess.

He added that paint had been

found on metal fragments
within the plane that matched
with missile fragments on the
ground.
Mr Joustra also said there
had been sufficient reason to
close off Ukrainian airspace
but Ukraine did not do that
- and on the day of the crash,
160 flights flew over the area
in question.
The board does not have
the authority to apportion
blame, under the rules
governing
international
crash investigations.
But speaking to reporters
after the news conference,
Mr Joustra said pro-Russian
rebels were in charge of the
area from where the missile
that hit MH17 had been fired.
The government in Ukraine
and several Western officials
have said the missile was
brought from Russia into the
rebel-held part of Ukraine.
The
Dutch-led
criminal
investigation has already
published photos of the
launcher being transported
around rebel areas.
_________________________________
Warhead discrepancy
In the report, the Dutch
Safety Board says the weapon
used was a 9N314M-model
warhead carried on the
9M38M1 missile, as installed
on the Buk surface-to-air
missile system.

the Dutch Safety Board says.
The missile hit the front left
of the plane causing other
parts to break off, it said in

2014 disaster, which killed
298 people.
The West and Ukraine say
Russian-backed

The report does not say
who fired the missile, but

Weah,
says
Arsenal
managerArsene
Wenger built the national
team of Liberia.
Weah was speaking in an
interview with Londonbased Pitch TVon the
program Fifa Football,
which covers 150 countries,
in the run-up to the first leg
2018 World Cup qualifier
between Liberia and Guinea

Bissau.
"Arsene Wenger... built Lone
Star, because when I went
to Monaco in 1988, other
players of the Lone Star
followed which included
James Debbah, Joe Nagbe,
Kelvin Sebwe, Mass Saar
Junior, Thomas Kojo and
Christopher Wreh. Thus,
seven players from the
Lone Star benefited from
Arsene's training which
helped us and the national
team a lot," Weah recalled.

The 1995 Ballon d'Or

winner recounted how
he got in touch with then
Cameroon head Coach
Claude Le Roy, who was
keen to know where he was

Liberia, which country is

that? Do they play football
there? He had to get a map
of Africa to find Liberia on
it," Weah remembered.
The former wizard dribbler
further narrated that in the
presence of his close

had some of his friends in

I, however, insisted that I
wanted to play, but I was
