Liberians are so divided that most organiztions formed by them are under water or about to go under. This was not the case when we had only two groups of people in Liberia. Those who took part in running the government that came to power in 1980 did more to divide the country than to unite it. Some want us to forget the past, but Liberians all over the world must never forget our history.
Fellow Liberians:
The ethnic division and tribalistic tendencies that were fostered, nourished, and showcased in the 80s by some of our elder statesmen and eminent citizens are today affecting the Liberian national psyche. Many of these elder state-persons were once members of a government that was supposed to unite our people. Instead, they encouraged or wrote the blue print that would later divide and rule, kill and pillage.
The sour grapes that were sown during those wicked days of the 80s, ripened and matured in the 90s and later, and have resulted into the bitter realities of today. God will not just save Liberia. Those who helped to destroy the peace must return to the scene of the crime and help restore the dignity our people were used to; these so-called liberators of the people must go back and help to restore the camaraderie and peaceful co-existence once enjoyed by all Liberians of all ethnic groups. You can't spoil it and then run away...and expect other people to fix it!
By pursuing this simple odyssey and restorative challenge, all Liberians will begin to see a future of glorious potential and ethnic harmony. There will be no need for any of us to assume that there are "endangered" groups of citizens within our common heritage.
Those who change the course of history for self aggrandizement and ethnic superiority will have to prostrate before God and our people, confess their sins against humanity, and beg for everlasting forgiveness.
Doing this, I believe, will allow the Great Arbiter of all mankind to give a second thought to rendering judgement in our favor and saving us all.
