Old Video footage of President Tolbert Visits Yakepa (You Tube)
TLC Africa has discovered an old short video footage of the Late President and Mrs. William R. Tolbert Jr., accompanied by the late President and Mrs. Felix Houphouët-Boigny of Côte d'Ivoire on a visit to Nimba County. The footage is old and has no audio, but nonetheless is interesting to watch as the reception back then for the President visiting one of the Counties is not much different from what we expect to see today--Gio Devil included. The footage is of the arrival of the President's convoy and the opening ceremonies. Enjoy...

American Company to Build Planned Gated and Integrated Housing Community in Liberia

MONROVIA, Liberia, June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Building Solutions (Liberia) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Global Building Solutions (GBS) of Charleston, South Carolina, is embarking on a major housing development project in post-conflict Liberia. In a direct response to the call of Her Excellency, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, for Liberians in the Diaspora to return home and help in the rebuilding of Liberia, GBS is addressing one of the many challenges faced by those who seek to return home -- the need for quality and modern living facilities since much of Liberia's housing was destroyed or is dilapidated. By designing, developing and constructing planned housing communities, with modern facilities and amenities, GBS intends to help Liberia re-attract much of Liberia's middle-class and intellectual capital that fled Liberia during its decade and a half of intermittent civil wars.

LIBERIA: The Dynamics Of A Transforming Society

By Francis W. Nyepon

The vision to significantly transform the Liberian society must first deal with changing behavior, attitude and mindset of people at the bottom of the social strata. Change can never come to Liberia with the majority of its people believing that public officials do not have their best interest at heart as a collective; or the majority of the people being stuck at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. The lack of adequate healthcare, difficulties accessing education, employment, social marginalization, inadequate sanitation, unsafe drinking water, indecent hygiene practice, and treated garbage means that many Liberians are dying unnecessarily or living in destitution.
