The past few weeks have been extremely…

About a day ago, the 15th President of the University of Liberia was inaugurated in a historic ceremony held at the Fendall Campus. Dr. Julius Julukon Sarwolo Nelson seems ready to efficaciously pilot this flight. As I sat keenly listening to Dr. Nelson outlining a number of reforms his administration is prepared to undertake, his power-packed inaugural address reawakened lost hope. His speech arouse resounding claps and cheers at different intervals. The tasks ahead are herculean but Dr. Nelson has promised to confront them through real vision and concrete action. Is UL en route to Renaissance?

By Mustapha N. Kanneh When the rotten CDC establishment rose to the pinnacle of national leadership after the country’s erstwhile president, that modern-day Jezebel who foisted on the Liberian people Mr. Weah, an empty vessel, a man suffering from intellectual kwashiorkor, and an ideologically disadvantaged ex-soccer star, we knew that the country had been submerged in a sordid pool of corruption, grinding poverty, and grotesque incompetence. While a few of our compatriots saw Mr. Weah and the CDC as the answer to the Liberian development quagmire, we saw…

We applaud the action of the United States Government for placing sanctions on the officials of the Liberian Government named in its press release issued today, and we believe it is a step in the right direction. We have repeatedly called on the International Community to bring sanctions against officials of the government in the three branches of the Weah-led government who are deemed to be corrupt because the current government of President George M. Weah lacks the political will to fight corruption. We also called on the US Government…

MONROVIA – Several of President George Weah‘s supporters have mocked the United States Government for imposing sanctions on three Liberian Government officials. Minister of State Nathaniel McGill, National Port Authority Managing Director Bill Twehway, and Solicitor General Sayma Serenius Cephus were recently sanctioned by the United States Treasury Department for official corruption. But during President Weah’s last leg of his nationwide tour in Montserrado County, some of his supporters who were marching in the streets of Monrovia sang derogatorily against the United States sanction. “Sanction or no sanction, we will…
