This fool atrocities against the peoples of Liberia, and Sierra Leone in the name of Liberation will never be forgotten, In Sierra Leone, a generation of civilian amputees -- their hands or legs hacked off by rebels -- are a painful reminder of the cruelty and brutality of his war, in which drugged rebels often child soldiers, killed, raped and maimed, innocent people. In Liberia stories of his men cutting pregnant women open to determine the sex of the unborn child is also well known, as well as his thugs eating and using the intestines and other organs of their victims to make their checkpoints. Meanwhile the Association for the Legal Defense of Charles Taylor headed by John T. Richardson, will be hosting a A special prayer and thanksgiving service for the accused former Liberian leader in Monrovia ahead of the January 7, trial.

He show no mercy to his victims,let none be given

His brutality against even babies, is hard to comprehend

I swear these rebels have no shame, after all the people these bastard killed, almost 300,000 in Liberia and God knows how many more in Sierra Leone, they have the audacity to invoke God's name, why the hell is John T. Richardson, Grace Minor, and Jewel Taylor still doing running around Monrovia? they should all, along with kromah, George Boley, and Conteh be drag before the world's court.We will never forget what you bastards did to our country, neither will we forget what you did to the children of our country. I hope Charles taylor rot in hell were he belongs, he showed no mercy to his victims, the Liberian people should not show any mercy to him, after all do unto others as you would want them to do unto you, These bastards don't deserve to breath the same air we breath.

Those good old days .........

Sorry folks i have been so busy lately with school,work and my kid i hardly have time to blog like i used to. anyway i was looking for some old Liberian music on the Internet and i came across this Miatta Fabullah video from the 80s. man how time flies, i was a kid then, but watching this video just brought back tons of good memories. it pains me when most of our people come to the states, and forget who they are, or where they came from,sometimes i even sense they are ashamed to be call Liberians, our old folks used to say when the old lady eye spoil, she cannot borrow another one from someone else. Liberia was once a great country, but fell upon hard times, she will again be a great country.




for all you oldtimers i hope this brought joy to your hearts as it did mine.

Arcelor Mittal to increase its investment in Liberia .

The Chairman of the world's largest Steel Company Mr Lakshmi Mittal told a news conference in Monrovia that his company was increasing its investment in the country from US $1-billion to US $1.5-billion dollars. Mr. Mittal who is in the country as a guest of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf also told reporters his company is willing to expand its activities beyond the mining sector to share its expertise in other areas including the country’s power sector. Mr Mittal praised President Sirleaf for the progress the government continues to make since she assumed the leadership of the country and said he was pleased to associate with the President. “There is positive feeling about Liberia out there,” he acknowledged, assuring the President of full and direct commitment to the project. “We have to ensure that this project is successful because it will be a model for the future.
This news could not have come at a better time, the country is still recovering from almost two decades of civil war, the economy is in shambles, unemployment is at an all time high, and with electricity and sanitation almost nonexistent, this was indeed good news for the Liberian people. with these strings of good news lately, be it debt cancellation, Investments like the one announced by Arcelor Mittal today, or the huge outpouring of goodwill that the Liberian leader continues to get from the world's community, the Liberian nation might well be on her way to reclaiming her glory.

New york has its pros and cons, there where some things i liked and some i did not like, for one i thought, there were just too many people, all my life growing up as a kid in Monrovia, Liberia, i have never seen so many people in one place, i was even surprise to see a huge Liberian community in the Staten island area, we have a lot of Liberians here in Minnesota, but it was great to meet so many of my country men in another state. so would i give up Minnesota, to live in New York, hmmmmm.... let me just say, i am glad to be back home.

Mass graves found in Liberia.

The Associated press is reporting that Liberian Officials have confirmed the presence in Liberia of mass graves which are believed to hold the remains of people massacred during the civil war. A team headed by Jerome Verdier, chairman of Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the national commission investigating human rights violations during the country's 2 decades of civil war visited the four villages where the graves are located. Among the villages "some of the survivors narrated horrible and gruesome stories of the atrocities committed against them by various warring factions during the Liberian conflict.Verdier said villagers told his team they wanted the bodies exhumed and reburied. He said while that was not his commission's role, it would try to help villagers who want to give proper burials to those massacred. The smallest grave the commission visited held 78 bodies; the largest contained as many as 500, according to Verdier.


Liberia's truth commission, patterned after a similar commission established in 1995 to examine human rights abuses in South Africa, offers victims an opportunity to air their grievances and create a historical record.

It cannot conduct criminal trials, but can recommend that some people be prosecuted.
Some 250,000 Liberians are believed to have been killed in the fighting between 1990 and 2003, when former President Charles Taylor bowed to international pressure and went into exile. He is now imprisoned in The Hague, Netherlands, awaiting trial on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
