Grand
Bassa County - We've got problem
Grand Bassa County's problem is a subject matter
that has been discussed many times over, at least in the realm of
Liberia History and many may even relegate these discussions to "Old

elephant...So to speak, in our collective living rooms that no one
wants to discuss.

Commission (TRC) and in fulfillment to a Biblical saying that “true
confession is good for the soul” seems to be unfolding as a
one time army general in the deposed regime of the late Samuel Doe,
Charles Julu, has reportedly taken a center stage in confessing his
sins committed in the Liberia civil imbroglio.

Accept
Bill Gates' Food Initiatives & Reduce Ignorance, Etc
(
By J. Yanqui Zaza)
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf should capitalize on the Gates Foundation’s

that requires comparatively limited investment in human resources
and technology, Liberia would reduce some of its problems such as
high crime rate, poor health, etc.
