STATEMENT AHEAD OF THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF LIBERIA’S BID FOR A NON-PERMANENT SEAT ON THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL FOR THE 2026-2027 SITTING

(September 19, 2024) The Office of the Former President of the Republic of Liberia (2018-2024), His Excellency George Manneh Weah, acknowledges receipt of a letter (RL/MFA/2-/S010021/’24) signed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Sarah Beysolow-Nyanti. We appreciate the recognition by Minister Beysolow-Nyanti of the numerous contributions by Former President Weah towards the maintenance of peace and security and in laying the groundwork for Liberia’s bid for a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

The former President has supported and always will support any endeavor that seeks to advance the interests of the Liberian people and elevate our nation’s standing within the global community. It is his strong conviction that Liberia’s aspiration for a seat on the United Nations Security Council is a testament to our historical commitment to peace, both at home and abroad. Our country has consistently played a vital role in peacekeeping efforts and has stood as an emblem of resilience in the face of adversity. Additionally, Liberia has played historical roles, as Africa’s first independent republic, in the fight for the independence of many sister African nations. As a founding member of the United Nations and its predecessor the League of Nations, Liberia played pivotal roles in ushering and consolidating world peace and establishing global order.

It was with these ideals in mind that he undertook several bilateral engagements, including seeking and securing endorsements from ECOWAS and the African Union for Liberia’s bid as a non-permanent member of the UNSC, so that Liberia’s voice would be valuable in multilateral dialogues concerning global peace and security.




Specifically, during the 63rd Ordinary Session of the Authority of Heads of State and Government of ECOWAS, held on July 9, 2023, in Bissau, Guinea-Bissau, the Republic of Liberia was unanimously endorsed as the sole candidate representing the ECOWAS region for the non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the period 2026/2027. This endorsement was articulated in Numbers 46 and 47 of the Final Communiqué, which was signed by H.E. General Umaro Sissoco Embaló, President of Guinea-Bissau and then Chairman of the Authority of Heads of State of ECOWAS. This was a significant achievement, marking Liberia’s advancement as a trusted voice in international affairs once again. The African Union subsequently reinforced this endorsement, recognizing Liberia's role in promoting peace and stability.

However, while former President Weah fully recognizes the importance of Liberia pursuing and attaining this seat, we must also reflect on the deeper, quintessential ideals that underpin such an aspiration. When he first initiated the campaign for our nation’s bid, it was with the firm belief that we must not only project our historical contributions but also embody the very principles that define the Security Council’s mission—good governance, the rule of law, unification, and the protection of fundamental freedoms, including the right to free speech. These principles are not just aspirations; they are the bedrock upon which our credibility as a candidate must rest.

Regrettably, the current domestic landscape presents challenges that could undermine and derail the essence of our bid. For example, on Thursday, August 22, 2024, the Liberia National Police, without presenting any search warrant, raided the headquarters of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), firing live ammunition and surrounding the building with armed men and injuring many partisans. This unprovoked attack on our political party headquarters is an alarming sign of the administration’s disregard for political freedoms, the rule of law, and national unity. Such and many other actions which have been well catalogued, directly contradict the ideals of democracy and peace that form the foundation of the United Nations Charter and the very principles the Security Council must uphold.

Following this incident, former President Weah immediately communicated with Omar Alieu Turay, President of the ECOWAS Commission, urging ECOWAS to take proactive diplomatic steps to ensure that Liberia’s democracy is not jeopardized by the administration’s misuse of power. The use of state resources to stifle dissent and target political opponents poses a serious threat to Liberia’s democratic stability.


May we also note, that following our receipt of the letter from Minister Beyslow-Nyanti, the spokesman of the government at the Ministry of Information went on a juvenile, sophomoric rant while purportedly giving the administration’s position on the issue, in a vain attempt to denigrate former President Weah. Such disingenuous behavior, wherein one ministry of government writes a former President whilst another hurts disrespectful invectives at him points to an apparent schism in the ranks and a duality of policy in government that in themselves pose a risk to the bid.

Instead of fostering reconciliation and unification, the administration is fueling division and retribution. These actions are at odds with the values that the United Nations stands for: respect for human rights, the rule of law, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
In spite of the commitments made by the regional and continental bodies, ECOWAS and the AU, these are the potential threats which could erode confidence and unracel the bid.

The former President supports Liberia’s aspiration for a seat on the Security Council, he however emphasizes that our internal actions must reflect the values we seek to promote globally.

To credibly pursue this seat and put Liberia on its rightful place on the international pedestal at the UNSC, the government must restore its commitment to good governance, the protection of political freedoms, and the rule of law. Only by addressing these internal challenges, consolidating the diplomatic gains and re-engaging bilateral and multilateral partners, can we present ourselves as a viable candidate for the Security Council, one that truly embodies the ideals of peace and security, justice and rule of law under a vibrant democratic dispensation.

Perfunctory and superficial publicity stunts such as a photo-op at the UN headquarters on September 27, 2024 is not what is required, but firm and genuine actions of diplomacy and good governance.

President of the Republic of Liberia
On the Occasion of the 177th Independence Anniversary of the Republic of Liberia
The Centennial Pavilion, Ashmun Street, Monrovia, Liberia.

First Lady Kartumu Y. Boakai;​
Mr. Speaker and Honorable Members of the House of Representatives;

Marketers;
Students;
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Fellow Citizens:

Today as a grateful nation we stand before God to thank Him for forging and sustaining our country which holds so much promise for the future despite having gone through great adversity in the past.

As we celebrate the 177th anniversary of our independence, we honor and remember the sacrifices of those who came before us, including the founding fathers who envisioned a land of freedom, liberty, and justice. We also pay tribute to the champions of democracy who followed.

By their sweat, tears, and blood, we were bequeathed a new culture of democracy that is holding its own and celebrated by the world.

As we look around, we see that not everyone can enjoy the freedom and sovereignty that our independence promises. Many people still suffer from hunger, homelessness, illness, poverty, and injustice.

What good is our freedom and independence when so many of our fellow citizens are struggling? It's time for us to embrace the true values of freedom and work together to provide opportunities for every Liberian to live a dignified life in our country.

My fellow citizens, we are at a crucial moment in our nation's history. We have a rare opportunity to come together and truly embody the meaning of freedom, and to build a nation that reflects the diversity of Liberia. Let's work towards creating a country we can be proud to pass on to future generations.

History has placed us at the confluence of a turbulent past and a hopeful and prosperous future. We either look back and do business the way we have done it for decades and fail our people, or look forward, setting our face like a flint in an onward march to transform our country despite our historical challenges and other foundational problems.

Liberia is a country with a rich history, but it has been slow to progress. We have the chance to change the direction of our country and move away from the self-imposed struggles we have faced since gaining independence 177 years ago.

Liberia has great potential, and it's our responsibility as the current generation to take advantage of this opportunity and improve our country so that everyone has a better chance at a good life.

My fellow citizens, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the leader of our country during this crucial time, caught between a challenging past and a hopeful future. I see this moment in our history as a turning point to leap with faith, as we strive to transition from the past to the future.

Today, I pledge my personal commitment and that of my Government to provide the space for us to work together across political, economic, and social divides to bring about positive change for all.

Now is the time for us to come together and use our collective strengths to propel Liberia towards an inclusive future. The decisions we make today will leave a lasting impact for generations to come.

This is why this year’s theme for our independence celebrations, “Building a New Liberia for All Liberians,” cannot be more appropriate:

For too long, Liberia has faced challenges that have divided us. Historical structural barriers have not only made it difficult for a large segment of our population, especially those in the interior of the country to access services; they have curtailed their ability to earn and sustain respectable livelihoods.

The structure of our economy has led to significant inequality, which has fueled social tensions and conflicts. Furthermore, a small group of people have exploited the government for their personal gain.

These and many other factors have contributed to tensions, creating divisions in society based on wealth, class, ethnicity, and other factors that lead to conflicts.

As we gather in this grand hall built to celebrate one hundred years of our existence, we must strive to show a unified vision and a strong commitment to building a new Liberia that includes all Liberians, regardless of ethnic group, religion, or circumstances.

Building a new Liberia should not be just a dream; we must promise ourselves and future generations to work toward creating a nation where every citizen can prosper.

The new Liberia must be a society where every citizen has equal educational opportunities, ensuring that every child has access to quality education regardless of their location in the country. It also means providing healthcare that reaches every corner of our nation, preventing unnecessary suffering and deaths from preventable diseases. With our resolve to build a Liberia for all, this should not be a problem.

Additionally, it entails creating employment opportunities with fair wages, lifting families out of poverty, and empowering Liberian entrepreneurs to innovate and grow. The new Liberia must prioritize inclusivity, allowing citizens to participate fully in the decision-making process that affects their well-being.

But building that new Liberia is not just about the infrastructure we will build and the policies we draw up. It is also about fostering a culture of unity and respect. It is about celebrating our diversity as a source of strength, not division. It is about listening to each other, learning from our past, and forging a future where every Liberian can contribute their talents and ideas to our collective success.

The array of accomplished Liberians in different stations of professional and social life honored at the recent investiture ceremony is an example, a testament, and a poignant reminder of the rich depth of diversity that can be harnessed in building the new Liberia.

That is why we must stand united, determined to create a new society where justice prevails, where opportunity abounds, and where the dignity of every Liberian is upheld.

In recent weeks, my Government has been engaging in discussions with various stakeholders in our society, including leaders from other branches of government, youth groups, women groups, people with disabilities, and the Christian and Muslim communities.

These conversations - to be held regularly - are aimed at promoting dialogue and cooperation. They are meant to respect our differences and each other's perspectives and find areas of common ground. The goal is to reduce divisive rhetoric and come together to work towards building the new Liberia that we all aspire to.

As we vigorously pursue our developmental agenda, we view this new mindset of a shared commitment to building a new Liberia for all Liberians, as a driving force behind the formulation of the new national development plan for the next five years.

This plan, which is expected to cap Vision 2030 and help drive us toward building a capable state responsive to the needs of our people, will and must require us to work together for the common good.

I want to thank the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Senate Pro Tempore, the Chief Justice and Justices of the Supreme Court, the leaders of the Christian and Muslim communities, the representatives of the various youth groups in the country, and the National Commission on Disabilities, the women group for their cooperation and insightful engagement during these dialogues.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, Liberians home and abroad;

Together, let us seize this once-in-a-generation opportunity to build a new Liberia for all Liberians, where every citizen can have the opportunity to flourish. We cannot ask for more or less, and we must not fail our people and generations to come.

The path ahead may not be easy, but with determination and solidarity, we can leap into a future where Liberia shines brightly on the global stage.

As I end, I encourage you to always think Liberia, Love Liberia, and Build Liberia.

Thank you, and happy 26th!

May God Bless us all and save our Nation.

WHY SHOULD WE GROW CASSAVA

1. Highly profitable crop-Cassava is more profitable than maize. The gross margins per hector of Cassava is three times higher than that of maize.
2. Ready Market: Cassava is very easy to sell. The domestic market is huge. Cassava is also used for industrial purposes like in baking, making of cardboards, packaging materials, beer, starch, glue, baking and many more. Therefore the market for both cassava chips and floor is huge
3. Cassava is drought resistant compared to maize, making it a good for household and national food security
4. Cassava is easy to store. The crop can be harvested only as needs arise. The surplus can be stored under ground thereby resulting in low post harvest losses.
5. The crop is desease resistant. No need for insecticides, thus cheaper and easy to manage
6. Can grow almost everywhere, regardless of the soil fertility
7. Multiple uses-. All parts of the plant are useful. Leaves can be used for vegetables, stems are used for planting, roots or tubers can be used to make floor, chips, or can be eaten raw.
8. Widely consumed in many African regions countries. Staple food in many regions
9. Can be processed using the most basic or natural methods like just socking, sun-drying and pounding
10. Huge demand for both domestic and industrial use
11. Can be inter-cropped with other crops like millet, groundnuts and beans
12. Does not require any chemical fertilizers, making it cheaper to grow
13. Rich source of starch and carbohydrates, making it a good security crop
14. Complementarity-Cassava can be consumed together or mixed with other crops. Tates supper with groundnuts, beans. Cassava floor mixed with maize meal tastes better.
15. Huge potential for commercialization- cassava can easily or will soon be a commercial crop given it's multiple industrial uses like the making of starch, flour, beer etc.
16. Nutritious-Cassava leaves are nutritious with some medicinal properties.

Special War Crimes Court to be established in Liberia
Monrovia, Liberia:

On Thursday, May 2, 2024, the President of Liberia, Joseph Nyuma Boakai, signed Executive Order No. 131 establishing an Office with the specific mandate of setting up a Special War Crimes Court and a National Anti-Corruption Court.

According to the Order, this Office is to define the model for this Special Court, drawing inspiration from what has previously been done at the international level, determine its duration and jurisdictional scope, and collaborate with international partners to secure financing for this Special Court. The Office will be headed by an Executive Director who will report to the Minister of Justice. According to the Order, this Executive Director will be guided strictly by legal considerations, free from any political influence.

So, more than 35 years after the start of the first civil war in Liberia, more than 20 years after the end of the conflict, and almost 15 years after the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a Liberian President has taken the full measure of the importance of justice for “the quest for national unity“.

Hassan Bility, Director of the Global Justice and Research Project (GJRP), said from Monrovia: “We warmly thank President Boakai and his cabinet for taking this historic and essential step for justice that paves the way for an end to impunity in Liberia for the bloody crimes committed during the two civil wars. My organization and our partners will collaborate with the Office in every possible way to help it live up to its mission. The time for justice is now”.

GJRP and Civitas Maxima would like to pay a heartfelt tribute to the Liberian women and men they have had the privilege of accompanying for over 12 years, whose courage and determination have contributed greatly to the voices of victims of mass crimes finally being heard in Monrovia today.

Unable to obtain justice at home, for years these Liberians led a heroic quest for justice outside their borders. This quest for justice has left its mark on Liberia’s legal history:

2017: first criminal conviction of a Liberian national for acts related to the civil war (Mohammed Jabbateh case, United States);
2018: second criminal conviction of a Liberian national for acts related to the civil war (Thomas Woewiyu case, United States);
2019: first official visit by foreign investigators working with the Liberian police on reenactments of crimes committed during the civil war (Kunti Kamara case, France);
2021: first criminal conviction of a Liberian national for war crimes (Alieu Kosiah case, Switzerland);
2021: first criminal hearings for international crimes conducted by foreign judges on Liberian soil (Gibril Massaquoi case, Finland);
2022: first criminal conviction of a Liberian national for crimes against humanity (Kunti Kamara case, France).
None of this would have been possible without the application of principles of international law by national courts. And it is this same international law that President Boakai rightly invoked in his Order no. 131 to allow the Liberian victims’ quest for justice to manifest in their own country, where they experienced so much suffering at the hands of the armed forces and rebel groups.

How many of you remember the song...

"Sweet mother, I no go forget you" - by Nico Mbarga?

"Sweet Mother" was released in 1976

A popular highlife song by the Cameroonian and Nigerian singer, Prince Nico Mbarga.

The song is a celebration of motherhood, sung in Nigerian Pidgin English.

Nico Mbarga better known as Prince Nico Mbarga was born in Obubra, Cross River State, Nigeria on the 1st of January 1950.

He was a highlife musician, born to a Nigerian mother and a Cameroonian father in Abakaliki, Nigeria.

Mbarga played the xylophone, conga, drums, bass guitar and electric guitar.

The singer played an important role in the evolution of African
music culture.

After leaving music, Mbarga turned his attention to managing a four-star hotel that he owned, called: "the Sweet Mother Hotel", located in the town of Ikom in Cross River State Nigeria.

Prince Nico Mbarga was killed in a motorcycle accident on the 23rd of June 1997 in Calabar while trying to buy spare parts for his car along the ever busy Mayne Avenue Road.

Although he only recorded one significant hit: "Sweet Mother," in 1976, the song sold more than 13 million copies, and It became one of the top sellers in the history of Nigerian music.

His "Sweet Mother" song went on to be recognized as Africa's anthem, and was voted Africa's favourite song by BBC readers and listeners in 2004.

The song made a mark...

Ahead of Brenda Fassie's "Vuli Ndlela"

Fela Kuti's "Lady"

Franco's "Mario" and Miriam Makeba's version of "Malaika," (a South African classic, sung by Dorothy Masuka)
