Was it uncertainty or a clever repudiation of the fact by Minister Lawrence Bropleh?
Moazu Mussa. Kromah, Accra- Ghana
May 26, 2009

I was taken aback when the honorable minister of Information (Mr. Bropleh) referred to King Osman Kamara otherwise known as King Sao Bosso Kamara as Islamic King without giving much credibility to his contribution in brokering a rather rigid but timely negotiation between the settlers and the natives of the coastal land of Liberia. Our small history tells us that King Sao Bosso was the first native ruler who gave protection to the founders of the Liberian state and promised them the security they had never had from where they came.

By: Molley Kamara <osmaab@yahoo.com>

THE POLITICIZATION OF THE MANDINGO COMMUNITY: INTERNAL IDENTIY CRISIS; ELITISM VS GRASSROOTISM; WHO YIELDS THE DIVIDENDS?
Ibrahim Al-bakri Nyei
05694498/pericle925@yahoo.com/www.ibrahimnyei.blogspot.com
May 12, 2009
Ethnicity is a critical point of rally in political situations, particularly in Africa where ethnic politics has dominated at the expense of nationalism. Liberian politics is a good tool for experimentation of the test of ethnicity in African politics to be used in any political laboratory. The first ethnic group to dominate the politics and socio-economy of Liberia was the minority group of settlers referred to as the Americo-Liberians. In the 1980s emerged..... Read
