The TPS Dilemma: A Case
for Ending the Cycle of
Yearly Reprieves |
|
By: Momoh Sekou Dudu |
 On
the cusp of summary
expulsion from the
United States yet again,
thousands of Liberians
are about to be granted
another 12-month
reprieve. H.R 3123, the
U.S. House of
Representatives’ bill
calling for this stay of
action is a laudable
initiative. Sadly,
however, it does not
address the issue of
permanency in status for
our people.

“Mandingoes Profiling,”
An Abomination |
|
By: Varfley A. Dolleh
August 24, 2007 |
 It
is a historical reality
that when the
colonialists arrived in
Liberia in the 1800s,
one of the most
civilized tribes they
met was the Mandingo
tribe. By then, they had
made gains in
governance, warfare,
commerce, and conflict
resolution. The
developmental
progression of the
Mandingoes was by far
greater than other
tribal elements.

 "We
must go back to Liberia
and help rebuild the
country." Young and old
in the Liberian refugee
camp located in Ghana,
West Africa repeat this
phrase. But usually it
sounds more like an
abstract slogan than a
plan. More than 40,000
refugees live here in
Buduburam, 27 miles west
of Ghana's capital,
Accra.

A Place Where Troops Can
Start Withdrawing |

August 24, 2007 |
The story starts with a
very familiar ring to
it: An international
coalition sends troops
to a pariah country in
2003 to help dispose of
a corrupt, belligerent
regime, tame the
resulting chaos, and
midwife a peaceful and
reasonably democratic
new government to take
its place.
