A New Year’s Day Message from Ambassador M. Nathaniel Barnes
January 1, 2009

My
fellow Liberians, while we gather with friends and loved ones to
celebrate this holiday season, I would like to take this
opportunity, on behalf of our President, Her Excellency Madam Ellen
Johnson Sirleaf; the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Olubanke
King-Akerele; my wife Dawn; the staff at the Liberian Embassy and in
my own name; to wish all of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
As we reflect on and give thanks for the past, let us focus, not
only on resolutions to improve our personal lives, but on our
beloved Liberia as well. Whatever adversity our nation has faced
over the years, as we continue to heal in unity, we must not forget
our compatriots both here in the United States and back home that
may be less fortunate than ourselves. Let us be grateful for a
peaceful Liberia, and mindful that we must never again allow our
country to be consumed with war, self hatred and deprivation.

By Emmanuel Abalo
December 30, 2008
As the saying goes, "the reality is that there are two parties in
Africa - the political and the military" . And so it has come to
fruition and no surprise that the military has again forcibly taken
the reins of state power with the declaration by Captain Moussa
Dadis Camara that he is President of the Republic of Guinea
following the death of longtime strongman General Lansana Conte over
a week ago.
The coup d'etat has met with strong international condemnation and
booting of Guinea from the continental grouping known as the African
Union (AU) until democratic governance is restored although how an
illegitimate government in Zimbabwe is not comparable to that in
Guinea is incomprehensible..Read
