Weah: “What was damaged during the 14 years of civil war,” he said, “cannot be fixed in a day’s time. This government is focused on rehabilitating Liberians whose lives were damaged. I want you not to join those who are undermining the country through protests.

They are very oblivious and zero in understanding and suffer from a high level of dyslexia, brain injury, and semi-literacy. It is only under Mr. Weah…

By: Cde. Jusu Kamara Liberia has been reduced to a den of thievery and mass looting.

Corruption was the primary reason for the civil conflict that caused the death of over three hundred thousand Liberians. Under the Weah government, Liberia is moving backward due to high…
