Quote of the Election:  It is not anyone’s birthright to be President... Senator Prince Y. Johnson

PYJ: ‘Liberia Will Go Back to War If Weah Becomes President’

Nimba County Senator Prince Y. Johnson has described Senator George Manneh Weah as someone who is unable to control his followers, and as such, any decision to elect him as President of Liberia will send the country back to war.  “I am appealing to Ambassador George Weah because you have not become President yet, but you turned loose your men on people to stab them. When you become President, this country will go back to war,” he warned.

Sen. Johnson, standard bearer of the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction, in an interview over the weekend on the recent fracas in Sanniquellie, Nimba County between members of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) and Liberty Party (LP), said it was unacceptable for anyone to go to his county, Nimba, to shed blood.

Money, People and Politics: Sad Political Life of Mills Jones

In politics, there remains a strange relationship people, power and money. And it seems that candidacy of Joseph Mills Jones highlights this strange relationship in a rather glaring and lucid manner.

I don’t know if you have noticed but whenever you pass around the National Headquarters of Mills Jones’ Movement for Economic Empowerment (MOVEE) you will see that the Liberty Party has taken over that piece of real estate and is now using it as parking lot for its numerous vehicles. MOVEE’s HQ is virtually dead with only security personnel occupying the building. For a Party that most people thought were a major contender for the presidency, this is a disgrace and a shame.

Liberia's elections - challenges, change and continuity

Liberians go to the polls in October. Politicians are campaigning via two different messages on the political posters and banners that decorate Monrovia – one which calls for continuity, the other for change. By GREG MILLS.

Continuity in Liberia has, on the face of it, much to offer. During the 12 years of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf's two-term government, the economy has averaged more than 7% annual growth. Per capita income has risen from a low point of just $80 at the end of the second civil war in 2003 to $700, even though the population has increased by nearly 50% to just under five million. Life expectancy is up from 53 to 61 years. What once was defined as a "failed state" is now capable of taking over essential tasks. The UN mission has consequently shrunk from 16,000 at its peak to just 1,200 today. Where there were once long lines of white UN helicopters at Robertsfield Airport, I could spot just one.    Read more...
