| The Security Situation in Liberia is Fragile U.N. envoy to Liberia cautions |
| The United Nations envoy to Liberia cautioned today that the West African country’s steady and impressive rebound from decades of civil strife was tempered by the mood of its citizens, who were leery of the Government’s ability or willingness to guarantee the rule of law and often resorted to mob violence to accomplish what fractured judicial and administrative institutions could not.

| Just six days ago, I talked about our struggling refugees in Ghana who now face deportation, but how soon we forget…just six months ago, many Liberians here in the United States were weeks away from the same fate.

| Seyba Traoré, aged 11, and his brother Moumini, 9, set out each morning with big bags slung over their shoulders to sort through the capital's many rubbish dumps in search of scrap metal - car or motorbike parts, old lamps, curtain-rods - any old iron objects will do.

| Guinea: End of Fuel Subsidy Increases Economic Woes |
| The day after Guinea's powerful trade unions put on hold a general strike aimed at pushing the government to improve living conditions, Guineans woke up to find the government had ended subsidies on diesel, gasoline and oil. The price of a litre of petrol rose by more than 60 percent, from US$0.99 to $1.62, overnight. The cost of fuel at pumps will now rise and fall in line with international petrol prices, within a 4 percent margin. Read More... |
| A 16-year-old refugee risked illegal entry into the U.S. to escape Sierra Leone. Once here, his hardship continued, culminating in his beating and rape by a cellmate at a jail in Philadelphia. AS THE CARGO ship docked at a port near New York City, 16-year-old Mohamed Fornah sat hidden inside a shipping container, alone and scared. He had fled Sierra Leone with no money, clothes or possessions. All he carried was the guilt of fleeing his homeland without his three sisters who were kidnapped by diamond-hungry rebels. Life had not been kind to him. When he was little, rebels killed his parents. When he was a teen, they raped his sisters, then stabbed him, leaving him for dead. Read More... |

| In view of the recent meeting I like to express my position with respect to what went on. On Sunday, April 13, 2008 I was called to a meeting allegedly by the Imam, when I got there the meeting was not at the Imam house nor was the Imam there. I immediately asked for the other people whom I felt should have been there. I was told they will be coming as they were also invited however the meeting started without everyone else being present. As you know I have greater interest in search of meeting as I have been advocating for unity in our community. At the end of the meeting I was chosen to head an interim body for 2 months with the responsibility to conduct an election. I felt that this was a calling and I accepted it. Thereafter, I tried to reach everyone including the Elderly to help in this regard but I was not getting the corporation I want. Read more |
