The dust is finally settling after the brutality that characterized the 14 years of civil upheaval that overtook Liberia in the 1990s. The war took the lives of about 500,000 persons and displaced thousands of others across the sub-region.
I wanted to know when will be the next presidential election in Liberia & why is it that the 15 thousands UN peacekeepers is still in Liberia? Do the Liberian government not trust herself, etc.?
Right now, I am looking at been a city mayor for River Gee County , but can I be elected by my people? because my beleive is I will make a change for my people to rebuild their lifes, change that will help Liberians through out the world, change that will bring power lights ELECTRICITY through out to newly River Gee County that they have not seem over 132 years, WATER, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION , FOOD, ROADS. and many, many more. I would like to inform you that the TRC should know that there is no excause in Law, and one mistake in law is a hold, because most of the people that cause the atrocities are the one running the Liberian government right now. I wish to see a war crime court be set-up in Liberia so that Liberians will know the TRC WHAT JUSTICE IS ABOUT TO ALL MANKIND IN LIFE. LET JUSTICE BE DONE TO ALL MANKIND. THANK YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008.
In the first place I think the creation of a TRC is a step in the right direction taken by the Sirleaf administration and I frankly applaud that. Moreover, I would wish with all my heart that my countrymen, Liberians, change their pattern of viewing this move taken by the government, by embracing the fact that telling the truth or being caused or given the chance to tell the truth no matter how shameful or gruesome, is a rare privilege in our African setting, especially in our traditional setting. Much more it gives the aggrieved party a platform to voice out deep-seated feelings of circumstances they might have been victim of. This will produce a wholesome positive psychological outlook on the affected individual thereby restoring sanity. It will also create a sense of humility on the part of the defendant- who would have come to learn and realize that society largely stands to forgive or hold them accountable - should he/she dares to face his/her past dark and shameful record of cruel misdeeds. Then Liberia will begin to walk on the road to healing the wounds of the bitter past, and humanity would have been appeased of crimes committed against it.

The dust is not finally settling especially so when THE TRC is opening wounds that will never be cured. The TRC hearing is very bad and ugly for ellen johson sirleaf Unity Party led government to carry on this unconstitution act. Will ellen johnson sirleaf be called upon to tell the Liberian people he role she played in the suffering, killing, displacing Liberian over the world. I must and must stop thus far for everlasting peace in Liberia. Which African countries/states Liberia is emulating for this unconstitutional act.
