Simple Reality of National Development Series 19
Mary Broh, Task Force and Urban Sanitation
April 28, 2009
 Development
and methodological issues
It is usually outstanding when ovations for development
in society are eminent to public servants. But it could
be terrifying and frustrating if methodological issues
become hindrance to the success of these ovations. An
irresistible truth about development is that it comes
with hard and sometimes hash decisions that affect some
people in society and while other get pleased. However,
this does not negate the fact that development must be
professional and methodological. It will be naïve to
lambast the intention of madam Broh for having Monrovia
and its environ clear and sanitized.

Potential Conflict looms Liberia but Government is
Passive in Response.
Mohammed Swaray
April 22, 2009
 Sources
of Conflicts
Experience has shown that bulk of the problems on the
African continent is either caused by historical claims
to land ownership, religious discriminations, tribal
wars or marginalization of some group of people in
society. These are evident in the apathy reign in South
Africa, the tribal struggle among the Hutus and Tutsi in
Rwanda, the tribal conflict between the Hausa, Yoruba
and Ibo in Nigeria and the religious-political fracas in
Algeria. Again, no one can quantify the level of
devastation as a result of claim to land between the
Israelis and the Palestinians. These factors have only
brought to mankind death, destructions, hatred and
suffering.
