MDCL Calls for Legislative Inquiry November 15, 2001 In this respect, Mr. Speaker, we want you to know that the MDCL is extremely displeased by this shocking allegation, which, from all indications, seems credible and overwhelming. Furthermore, the MDCL views these alleged criminal activities on the part of those who have been entrusted to enforce the law as well as the damage they do to the institutions of government, particularly the executive branch, as a serious violation of the constitution of the Republic of Liberia. For this purpose, we call on you and the Liberian Legislature to act swiftly to institute an inquiry into the alleged criminal conduct of the Taylor government and the possible violation of the Liberian constitution. Thank you. Sincerely, Nohn Rebecca Kidau, Chairperson, MDCL cc: The Liberian Senate

Government of Liberia'sArbitrary Detention of Mabutu Kromah, Tiawon Gongloe, et al (Press Release) The Perspective Atlanta, Georgia Posted April 27, 2002 Having returned from a lecture I delivered yesterday at Indiana University on the shortcomings of the Western media in the portrayal of Africa, it was embarrassingly painful to have learned today that the Liberian government has carried on another act to demonstrate its continued commitment to the blatant violation of human rights. While seeking detailed information this morning on the arrest and brutalizing of my young friend and fellow Lawyer, Tiawon Gongloe, I was in fact informed that my brother, Mabutu Kromah, was picked up by Government of Liberia security agents, who manhandled him and detained him at the National Security Agency. My cousins, Mohammed Dukuly and Molley Bayor were also arrested and detained. I tried calling government officials in Monrovia to ascertain reasons behind the detention, but there was no response. Other relatives tell me the government accused Mabutu of "talking" to me via telephone. Indeed, I did not know that it was a crime for my brother, a civilian struggling to survive the severity of Monrovia's hardship, to talk to me. Dukuly and Bayor were arrested on similar charges. I hereby call on the Liberian government to release Mabutu and the other two relatives who have committed no crime. I called on the government to release Counselor Tiawon Gongloe and allow an independent investigation into the circumstances of his injury in police cell.

Russian Government Concerned About Citizen In Liberia Plight By: J. Moses Gray The Inquirer Monrovia, Liberia Distributed by The Perspective Atlanta, Georgia May 24, 2003 The apparent failure of the appropriate agency of the Liberian government to address circumstances surrounding the ‘lost’ famous sailing vessel "M.V. Zolotitsa", and the condition in which the Russian captain of the vessel, Mr. Gennady Pavlovich Medvedve has found himself in Liberia, have caught the attention of the Russian Government. "We have been keeping vigilant watch on the recent development of the events which Mr. Medvedve found himself in", the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Accra noted in an e-mail communication to civil law court Judge Yusuf Kaba. The communication written by the head of the consular section of the Embassy of the Russian Federation, Y. Mariyashin, among other things, said, "the embassy is very much preoccupied with the complicated situation around captain Medvedve and his vessel and suppression of the human rights of the Russian citizen". The Russian Embassy expressed its hope that the civil law court under presiding judge Yusuf Kaba will consider the case of the Russian national objectively. "Since the tense political situation in Liberia makes our personal presence at the coming hearings impossible, we fully rely on your Honor’s competence, objectiveness and support", the communication concluded.

about GPF What's New Newsletter Sitemap ... *Opinion Forum Liberia's Government and Rebels Sign Peace Deal By Michael Peel Financial Times August 19, 2003 Liberia's government and rebel groups signed a peace deal on Monday night that will set up a transitional national administration intended to rule for more than two years and help end the country's ruinous civil war. Ecowas, the 15-member union of west African states, said the chairman and vice-chairman of the interim administration could be named on Tuesday, and would not be drawn from either the existing government or rebel groups. The deal, between the warring parties and the unarmed opposition, is likely to be seen as a further step towards improving security for Liberia's people after almost 15 years dominated by conflict and corrupt and brutal governance overseen by Charles Taylor, the former president. Ecowas said the interim government would take power in October from the administration of President Moses Blah, the former vice-president who took over when Mr Taylor stepped down, under international pressure, earlier this month. The interim government, which is intended to hand power to an elected administration by January 2006, would include a cabinet of 21 people, including five each from the outgoing government and two rebel groups, and a further six from the unarmed opposition and civil society organisations, Ecowas said. The chairman and vice-chairman of the interim government would each be chosen by the three warring parties from a list of three names submitted by Liberia's opposition parties and civil society groups.

The transitional government includes a chair and vice chair and a 76-member Legislative Assembly. On September 19, 2003 the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1509, which establishes a peacekeeping operation under Chapter VII authority. In keeping with the UN Secretary General’s recommendations, it called for a force of 15,000 peacekeepers, with 250 military observers and 160 staff officers, a robust police component of up to 1,115, and a significant civilian component and support staff. By June 2004, the UN Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) had deployed over 14,000 peacekeepers and 760 police, and had ostensibly disarmed most of the former combatants. Historically, Liberia has had a bicameral legislature which consists of 64 representatives and 26 senators. The legislature, which was set up on a proportional representation basis after the 1997 special election, was dominated by President Taylor's National Patriotic Party. The executive branch heavily influences the legislature. The judicial system is functional but extensively manipulated by the executive branch of government. There is a Supreme Court, criminal courts, and appeals court and magistrate courts in the counties. There also are traditional courts and lay courts in the counties. Trial by ordeal is practiced in various parts of Liberia. The basic unit of local government is the town chief. There are clan chiefs, paramount chiefs, and district commissioners. Mayors are elected in principal cities in Liberia. The counties are governed by superintendents appointed by the president. There are 15 counties in Liberia.

UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA - AFRICAN STUDIES CENTER LIBERIA: Interview with Head of UNOL [19990825] IRIN interview with Felix Downes-Thomas, Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Peace-building Support Office in Liberia (UNOL) Q : What is UNOL's mandate in Liberia? A : Basically it is to facilitate the stabilisation process, which involves reconciliation, and trying to get assistance for this country to move forward. And also to act as the conductor of the orchestra in terms of UN agencies and to give them policy directions in matters which deal specifically with reconciliation and resettlement. Q : What are the major challenges facing UNOL? A : Paucity of funds. There should have been a trust fund for UNOL which has remained unsubscribed and that has tied our hands in terms of doing practical things in the areas of peace-building and reunification. Another challenge is how does one mobilise assistance for Liberia against the background of the accusations of Liberia being the bad boy of the 'quartier'. Recently, we seem to have made breakthroughs in terms of Liberia's relations with neighbouring countries as well as Nigeria. The presence of different heads of state for the weapons destruction on 26 July, the role that the government of Liberia played in the Sierra Leone peace talks in Lome and the visits of the UN Secretary-General and senior ECOWAS emissaries gave me the impression that we had turned the corner in terms of Liberia's isolation. But the events in Voinjama last week appear to have put a damper on the mood here.

History Of Liberia: A Time Line After the struggle for liberty in the American Revolution, free and enslaved African Americans faced continued hardship and inequality. A number of white Americans, for a variety of reasons, joined them in their efforts to resolve this complex problem. One possible solution (advocated at a time when the assimilation of free blacks into American society seemed out of the question) was the complete separation of white and black Americans. Some voices called for the return of African Americans to the land of their forebears. 1815-1817 Black Colonization - African-American Quaker and maritime entrepreneur Paul Cuffee (or Cuffe) financed and captained a successful voyage to Sierra Leone where he helped a small group of African-American immigrants establish themselves. Cuffee believed that African Americans could more easily "rise to be a people" in Africa than in America with its system of slavery and its legislated limits on black freedom. Cuffee also envisioned a black trade network organized by Westernized blacks who would return to Africa to develop its resources while educating its people in the skills they had gained during captivity. Cuffee died in 1817 without fully realizing his dream. - The partial success of Paul Cuffee's African venture encouraged white proponents of colonization to form an organization to repatriate those free African Americans who would volunteer to settle in Africa. Prominent Americans such as Henry Clay, John Randolph of Roanoke, and Justice Bushrod Washington were members of the American Colonization Society (ACS) during its early years. Many free African-Americans, however, including those who had supported Paul Cuffee's efforts, were wary of this new organization. They were concerned that it was dominated by Southerners and slave holders and that it excluded blacks from membership. Most free African-Americans wanted to stay in the land they had helped to build. They planned to continue the struggle for equality and justice in the new nation. See African-American Mosaic:

PRINT DISCUSSION CHINESE SEND TO FRIEND Liberia's government troops on Friday said that rebel forces had launched new attacks on them on the main road linking the capital Monrovia and port city Buchanan. Reports reaching here from Monrovia quoted a senior government military officer as saying that rebels of the Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL) launched an attack against the government troops near Van's Town, some 10 km east of the main road. So far, however, there had been no information on casualties. The reports said that the Liberian Ministry of Defense would assess the situation and planed to send an assessment mission to the spot. The US military reportedly had been alerted and was sending a unit to the area. The United States earlier this month sent around 200 marines to the capital city to provide assistance to the about 1,500 West African peacekeeping troops to police ceasefire in the war-torn West African country.

Rebel Groups Fighting Taylor's Government Two rebel groups, Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) and Movement for Democracy in Liberia (MODEL), have led the way in the battle to oust Charles Taylor from power. The groups control roughly 60 percent of Liberia between them, with LURD forces controlling territory in the north and west and MODEL controlling portions of the south and east. Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) Refugees in Freetown, Sierra Leone formed the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), the West African republic's largest insurgency group, in 2000. The group reportedly has elements operating in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Cote d'Ivoire. The leader of LURD is Seykou Conneh, an embattled rebel leader who is said to harbor presidential aspirations. LURD's stated mission is to force Charles Taylor from power and to establish a sustainable democracy in Liberia.

Liberian president Samuel K. Doe meets with Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan Library Liberia is born In the early 1800s, as the United States debated the status and rights of its Black population, the government made its first stand with regard to Liberia (known at the time as the Grain Coast): Congress would help provide funding to send freeborn Blacks and emancipated slaves there to establish a colony The idea of repatriating Blacks from America to West Africa was a controversial one. Among African Americans themselves, opinion was divided. Some felt they should stay and fight for equality and freedom in America. Others were encouraged by the promise of their own land, but were suspicious of the motives of the American Colonization Society (ACS) for sending them to Africa. Quaker members of the ACS felt that African Americans would have a much better chance at liberty in a country of their own than they would in America. Slaveholder members of the ACS agreed with the principle of sending Blacks to Africa, but theirs was a more selfish, and racist, reason: They wanted to rid America of any free Blacks who might help organize a slave rebellion. And so in 1822 the first Black, American settlers crossed the ocean and arrived on the Grain Coast, their voyage the first thread of a complex web that would link Liberia to America over many decades. The settlement was named Monrovia, after U.S. president James Monroe, and the colony became Liberia. Over the next 40 years, 19,000 African Americans, Africans recaptured from slave ships, and a small number of West Indians, would settle in Liberia.
