Getting Rid Of The Unrepentant Ones

Frontpageafrica, the online news medium, published a series of emails written by friends of the President of Liberia. These emails are extremely heart-breaking and show that no matter how many people died because of the evil committed by those who ruled our country of Liberia, there are many alive who find no reason to change for the better of the country. Everything that went wrong continues to go wrong...and there is no end to our nightmare. Read why I am sickened at heart:

"Kesselly father founded our party he is now deceased. He is a little boy from america he is hungry and desperate so trust me. He will do what we say. I think you should start him of with two thousand we don't want him to get greedy yet. The only problem now is the gratuity promisecd. How soon can the funds be put in the account ? Ellen has promised that LISCR will get the deal but only on the basis if the transfer is made to the account. Please advise she is depending on me and I don't have enough preliminary information to give her."


After reading the Exclusive on Frontpageafrica of the many emails from people associated with the president of Liberia, a feeling of sadness and helplessness came over me. The email that said that the president has to pretend to be transparent because it is all a show off, breaks my heart. A lot of questions, like waves of mad ocean water began to splash on my consciousness. I began to wonder what else could be done for Liberia to be free; what else must happen before certain people will stop doing the same thing over and over and over again. What will it take, I continuously wonder, for some people to learn from the mistakes of the past.

The quoted email above is a sad, sad thing to read. The young people of Liberia are bent on changing the way things have been..the way every government of Liberia we can think of has operated; the John Morlus of Liberia want to see change, but the Willis Knuckles of Liberia will never let it happen. Remember how Harry Greaves was very vocal about the mindset of John Morlu when Morlu said that the Ellen government was three times more corrupt than the previous government? How will Liberia ever be developed? When will the 468,000 people of Nimba County ever get to benefit from the Liberia they are part of? When will the 67,000 people of River Gee every get a new court house or paved roads in their county?

What was the purpose of the civil war? What was the purpose of April 12, 1980? What was the purpose of the Accra Peace Accord? Rampant corruption was the battle cry of the 80s. Yet, corrupt practices gained a lot of weight in those ten years that Samuel Doe was the man. The Accra Peace Accord gave war lords and their associates, who did not benefit from twelve years of rule by Charles Taylor, a chance to grab their own before an elected government came into play. In three years, that group of war lords and associates was known as the most corrupt in the history of Liberia.

I am amazed that people who have been disgraced; people who by the grace of God are still alive to tell the story; I am amazed that after 14 years of civil war and 133 years of inequality; I am dumbfounded beyond belief that after all of these great events that are so fresh in the minds of Liberians, that the sons and daughters will forget so easily and continue to do things that 13 Liberians were crucified for in 1980. I thought the ultimate sacrifices of those who died in 1980, in 1990 and the 250,000 or more who perish in 14 years would serve as springboards for progress and love of the country and the balance survivors.

The emails from the PR men and other close associates of the President of Liberia and published by FrontPageAfrica, are all wake-up calls that Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf needs to clean house and disconnect herself from these people. These people who think that the president of Liberia is a showoff, preaching one thing and doing something else; these people who think that the president is also a Trojan horse....these people will bring you down disgracefully, Madam President.

What else can FrontPageAfrica do to help the government of Liberia? What else can the embedded "Anti-corruption Monsters" do to help EJS see the light? The President mandated the people of Liberia to expose corrupt activities and cold-water emails. The people are responding gradually. It's time to act to remove these stooges, evil vampires and bribe-taking individuals who are obviously bent on taking Liberia through another century of poverty and zero development. It is time for something drastic to happen, Madam President; and that something must begin to happen now!
