Liberia: Emotions Run High Over Refugee Crisis

"Why must our government apologize?" asked one caller on a local radio station in response to news that the Liberian government had sent an apology note to the Ghanaian government over recent protests by Liberian refugees in Ghana.

You Liberians are very ungrateful and full of calousity that is why your countyr plunged into war. No refugee is being malhandled in any way because the whole country would not allow that.

If that would happen it would have happened long ago or even Ghana would not have received you refugees in the country at all in the first place.

We are in your country trying to help you build your country after you ignorantly destroyed it by your selfish leaders for political power- now electricity is back again thanks to Ghana. You think there is anarchy in Ghana so that people can engage in demonstrations as and when they like without due course right?

You Liberians should go ahead and send Ghanaians in Liberia home if you so wish- as long as it satisfies your reprisal thirst and savageness.

Every one want to take a swoop at Ghanaians for the way we run our country beacause of our good hospitlity and openess- once it was Nigeria claiming Ghana was closing down the shops of Nigerians hence they calling us zenophobias and now Liberia and a purported refugee resettlement.

Your own people killed and maimed you but you are bitter about Ghanaians merely resettling people. This is preposterous- Ingrats.

It does not take a brain surgeon to know that people’s rights are violated during crisis. So what is happening in Ghana, is there some kind of crisis going on? Why can’t the Liberians be respected just because they are humans.

Ghanaians are saying that we Liberians are very ungrateful. For 18 years they hosted the Liberia refugees and fed them. Now, Let me just clarify some things here. Ghanaians did not just jump out of their bosoms and welcome us in their country, with enthusiasm; it was the United Nations that made it possible for the refugees to reside in Ghana all these years. They, the Ghanaians, ought to be grateful that the U.N made this arrangement. So many Ghanaians are in the United States today because of the Liberian refugees, and thousands of them are using Liberian names. Are we really ungrateful? I don't think so. In my life time this will be the second time Ghana has deported Liberians from their country, but the reality is there are thousands of Ghanaians working and living a better life right now in Monrovia. The Liberian refugees couldn't even move freely in Ghana. They were not even allowed to establish businesses or even work. They were basically living solely on their families from abroad and the United Nations. Check it out yourself. Go in the Ghanaian market place today and count how many Liberians are there, comparing to that of Monrovia.

WHAT ALL OF US SHOULD UNDERSTAND IS THAT IN WHATEVER SITUATION WE FIND OURSELVES, WE SHOULD KNOW THAT EVERY COUNTRY IS GOVERNED BY RULES AND REGULATIONS. WHILE WE CAN NOT DENIED THE LIBERIAN REFUGEES THEIR RIGHT TO DEMONSTRATE, THIS SHOULD BE DONE WITHIN THE CONTENTS OF THE GHANAIAN LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE DEMONSTRATION TURNED HOSTILE. BUT, THE GHANAIAN GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE FAULTED FOR ENSURING LAW AND ORDER. AFTERALL, THEY HAVE HOSTED THE REFUGEES FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS, WHY SHOULD NOW TURN AGAINST THEM IF THEY HAVE NO CASE. THE FACT THAT THE REFUGEES ARE UNDER THE UNITED NATIONS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GHANA GOVERNMENT SHOULD SIT DOWN FOR IT LAWS TO BE BROKEN WITH IMPUNITY. GHANA HAS BEEN HOST OF OTHER NATIONALS SINCE INDEPENDENCE AND HAVE NOT HAD THE UNPLEASANT DUTY TO REPATRIATE ANYBODY UNLAWFULLY. PLEASE APPRECIATE OUR HOSPITALITY.

I am very sorry to hear that Ghana are sending Liberian back, have they for get that we Ghanaian in Liberia? what happen to African UN? I thought we are Sisters and Brothers? Shelly

I am in agreement with the author of this article because it is a shame for our government under the learedship of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to apologize to the Ghanaian government for brutalizing our people and disgracing them for doing nothing wrong. This government is not in the interest of her own people judging from its action against the citizens who were treated badly by the Ghanaian government.

Thanks
