GENERAL NEWS PAGE

Please be aware that as you read through this group page, we are in the process of dissolving the group for the betterment and safety of every group member due to constant news of certain group members being compromised by the opposition parties. Innocent names have been made suspects, and corrupt practice has been turned back into a tawdry game of whodunit. So therefore, all the other pages on this website are in the process of been permanently disabled.

I’m not like a leader who is so overwhelmed by the tasks at hand that I fail to appreciate and invest in group members, which includes noticing skills sets right under my nose. I put the interest of my group members ahead of my own. Yes, I’m the group leader but that doesn’t mean I make all key decisions, so I don’t put myself in so much pressure. I don’t have to provide all the answers and I don’t insist on providing them. A leader can try to be all things to all people, but the moment such leader have to make decisions, he’s going to annoy at least half of his followers, which was why I make...

This is a critical juncture in our historic struggle on the basis of our uncompromising posture against corrupt practices that in-effects caused 14years war that decimated our Liberia population.

Clouds of War still hang under Ellen Sirleaf regime because the war criminals in government are busy in their daily corrupt practices and done nothing specific to ensure senseless violence does not repeat.  We have a need to remove failed politicians in order to eradicate the current corrupt political culture which is a hindrance to growth and development for the future of our nation –Liberia.

“We hereby announce the holding of a peaceful nation-wide demonstration for the resignation of Mrs. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and all suspected war criminals holding public offices in the government of the Republic of Liberia”.

The 'Voice of Violence Victims' has hereby come to register our opinion on the issues affecting us as part of the young generation of Liberia. The message in this article is basically twofold. First, it is about the flaws of the TRC and the urgent need to substitute it with a war crimes court.  Secondly, it is about the need for a war crimes court in Liberia. 

Truth and reconciliation commissions are an alternative means of accountability and healing instituted after situations of war or other civil upheavals to help societies and people understand and reconciled their bitter pasts. These help to establish what happened, why it happened and how it happened in order to avoid repeating those mistakes that led to those bitter consequences. 

Liberia ‘Truth Reconciliation Commission’ (TRC) was created soon after the 14years of war in Liberia to investigate gross human rights violations and war crimes, including massacres, sexual violations, murder, extra-judicial killings and economic crimes – to fund war mercenaries and ammunitions. TRC is also to provide an opportunity for victims and perpetrators of human rights violations to discuss their experiences, in order to create a record...

     As a Liberian ex-child soldier who is opportune to live a better life outside Liberia under the protection of England, It is disappointing to learn that my ex-comrades and violence victims of the Liberia 14years senseless civil war are still suffering the cause of our Liberia older generation. The Liberia war that decimated the lives of innocent people where innocent people were forced to lose their homes, relatives to untimely deaths and worst-still their children to fight in a war that is not of their own makings as children soldiers.

What compelled me to write this article are the situations facing the ex-children soldiers and violence victims of the Liberia war destitute in the Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana.

The fact remains that the 38,000 refugees and ex-children soldiers of the Liberia war are asked to go back to Liberia from the Buduburam refugee camp in Ghana with an ultimatum date of 31^st December 2008 with no provision in place for their future. What baffles me is that, the law-makers of these inhuman decisions do not take into consideration that Liberia can be term as safe  on paper but not...

       What began as a whisper has swelled to a chorus that cannot be ignored. It will ring out across our land as a hymn to heal our nation, repair our country, and make our time different. Our rallies will continue, calling them off would be tantamount to admitting defeat to those who robbed the country of its former glory and stole away our childhood in the process. Justice is our priority and we are not going to let our past affect that.

Personally, dealing with nasty stuff like this can make one cynical, but getting justice at last will make it worthwhile.

I'd like to educate and encourage all group members to believe more in themselves and our values. If we all contribute to the world and do the things we believe are right and free of corruption, things will not only change for the better but we will be able to leave a good legacy for the younger generation. As you all know my present predicament that I’m no longer invisible and my movement had to be restricted for the betterment of the group because our primary objectives is regarded as "Going Concern"- "forward march".

At this point,...
