Weawea Warns Against Rhetoric as Liberia-Guinea Tensions Rise

GBARNGA, B**g County — Political advocate Solomon Weawea is urging Liberian leaders to lower the political temperature and prioritize diplomacy as concerns continue to emerge over Liberia’s relationship with neighboring Guinea.

Weawea took exception to recent remarks attributed to NPP Chairman Hon. Atty. George Mulbah, describing the comments as ill-advised and warning that inflammatory rhetoric could place unnecessary strain on Liberia’s relations with its neighbors.

He called on political leaders and public officials to exercise restraint when commenting on sensitive issues involving national security, territorial concerns, and regional relations.

Weawea, a resident of B**g County Electoral District No. 4 and chairman of a campaign advocating for the freedom of former President Charles Taylor, argued that disagreements between Liberia and Guinea should be addressed through diplomatic negotiations rather than confrontational public statements.

He recalled Guinea’s contribution to Liberia’s peace process during the country’s years of civil conflict, emphasizing the importance of preserving the historical relationship between the two countries.

“No government seeks conflict, and Guinea’s assistance in establishing peace in our nation is valuable,” Weawea said.

At the same time, he criticized what he described as recent actions by Guinean authorities, warning that they could negatively affect relations between the two countries.

Weawea urged Guinea to reconsider its position and recognize the deep historical, cultural, and regional connections shared by Liberians and Guineans.

He praised the Government of Liberia for choosing diplomacy over confrontation, saying peaceful negotiations remain the best path toward resolving border-related disagreements.

Weawea further appealed to political parties and citizens to avoid statements capable of escalating tensions, stressing that Liberia’s national interest should remain the priority.

He said unity, responsible leadership, and constructive dialogue are essential to protecting Liberia’s peace and maintaining stable relations with its neighbors.

Liberia 🇱🇷🗞️📰
LDEA Officers’ Trial Nears Verdict as Final Arguments Begin Monday

KAKATA, LIBERIA — September 4, 2026: The long-running trial involving senior Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency officers is moving toward a critical climax, with final arguments scheduled for Monday, September 7, before the 13th Judicial Circuit Court in Kakata.

Special Agent Joe Logan, LDEA Chief of Operations, Agent Lovette Flowers, and other defendants are expected to face the jury’s consideration following final submissions from both the prosecution and defense.

Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie has ordered both sides to submit their legal memoranda ahead of Monday’s proceedings.

The case centers on the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Quita Dolo Kosso, described in court as a convicted drug offender.

Throughout the proceedings, the LDEA officers have denied allegations of criminal conduct or misconduct. They maintain that their actions were carried out as part of their official responsibilities.

Monday’s hearing is therefore expected to be a decisive moment, as prosecutors and defense lawyers make their final cases before the matter goes to the jury.
Following the arguments, the jury is expected to deliberate on the evidence presented during the trial. The timing of a verdict will depend on the length of deliberations.

The defendants remain presumed innocent unless and until they are proven guilty by a court of law.

Weawea Calls on Education Ministry to Address Changes in School Holidays and Flag Day Traditions

MONROVIA, Liberia — The Executive Director of the Liberia National Heritage and Culture Development Association, Solomon Weawea, has raised concerns about what he describes as significant changes in the country’s education calendar and the traditional observance of Flag Day celebrations.

In a statement, Weawea said Liberia’s school system has gradually moved away from what he described as the traditional practice of closing schools from December to March, a period that previously allowed students to spend the Christmas and New Year holidays with their families and participate in Flag Day activities.

According to him, students now have shorter holiday periods, and participation in Flag Day celebrations has also changed.

Weawea further alleged that some school administrators require students to interrupt their vacations to participate in Flag Day parades, which he said has affected the traditional nature of the observance.

He also expressed concern over changes in the ex*****on of the traditional “Eyes Right” military-style parade movement, claiming that it has increasingly been replaced by what he described as a dance-like pattern.

Weawea has called on the Ministry of Education to look into the issues and take appropriate action to preserve what he considers important educational and national traditions.

“God bless Liberia,” he concluded.

Solomon Weawea Calls for Calm Over Guinea-Liberia Border Flag Dispute

By: Stanley W. Swen

MONROVIA, Liberia — the Executive Director of the Liberia National Heritage and Culture Development Association, Hon. Solomon Weawea, has called for calm and restraint amid growing discussions surrounding the recent relocation of a flag along the Guinea-Liberia border.

Weawea cautioned against what he described as unnecessary propaganda, stressing that the movement of a flag from one location to another should not be allowed to create tensions or develop into a broader border dispute between Liberia and Guinea.

He noted that if the Makona River remains the established boundary between the two countries, actions taken by authorities on either side of the border should be addressed through dialogue and proper clarification rather than confrontation.

“If the Makona River is the established frontier line between Guinea and Liberia, then actions taken by authorities on either side of the border should not cause conflict,” Weawea said.

He urged the Government of Liberia, through the relevant authorities, to provide a clear and credible explanation of the circumstances surrounding the flag’s relocation, rather than allowing the matter to be driven by speculation and competing narratives.

Weawea also appealed to government officials, community leaders and other stakeholders to exercise responsibility in their statements and actions, warning that inflammatory rhetoric could unnecessarily heighten tensions among communities living along the border.

He emphasized the importance of peaceful engagement and accurate information in addressing the matter.

“God bless Liberia,” Weawea concluded.

Free Charles Taylor Movement Campaigner Solomon Weawea Rebuts Miatta Fahnbulleh’s Ghana Interview, Says She “Ignored Key Facts” on Sirleaf Era Spending and War Accountability

Monrovia, Liberia – The Lead Campaigner of the Free Charles Ghankay Taylor Movement, Solomon Weawea, has responded to a recent interview by Liberian cultural icon Miatta Fahnbulleh in Ghana, describing her account of Liberia’s history as compelling but incomplete.

Fahnbulleh’s interview, which has gone viral on social media, addressed Liberia’s political history, the civil war, and regional affairs.

In it, she reflected on post-war challenges and stated that former President Charles Ghankay Taylor played a key role in the conflict in neighboring Sierra Leone.

In a statement released Tuesday, Weawea praised Fahnbulleh's narration but argued that several important issues were omitted from the discussion.

"Miss Miatta Fahnbulleh gave a great narration about Liberia, but she ignored facts that need to be corrected," Weawea said.

According to Weawea, the interview did not address what he described as approximately US$20 billion in foreign direct investment received during the administration of former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

He alleged that those resources were intended to support the reconstruction of post-war Liberia through investments in key sectors, including road infrastructure, electricity, clean drinking water, sanitation, and other essential public services.

Weawea further argued that discussions about Liberia's civil war should begin with an examination of its root causes rather than focusing solely on its consequences.

He maintained that reconciliation should serve as the principal tool for rebuilding the nation and promoting lasting peace and unity among Liberians.

Responding to Fahnbulleh's comments on Sierra Leone's civil war, Weawea said it was unfair to place responsibility solely on former President Charles Taylor.

He argued that the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) was led by Foday Sankoh, who was prosecuted and held accountable for crimes committed during Sierra Leone's civil conflict. Weawea maintained that any discussion of the war should reflect the roles of all key actors involved.

Fahnbulleh's interview has sparked renewed debate among Liberians on social media, with many expressing differing opinions on the country's history, post-war governance, and the role of political leaders in the conflicts that affected both Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The "Free Taylor Campaign" Gains Momentum as LNHCDA Executive Director Solomon Weawea says "Taylor's indictment was illegal"

In a statement dated July 17, 2026, the Executive Director Hon. Solomon Weawea described Taylor’s indictment for RUF crimes in Sierra Leone as illogical.

"The indictment is illogical, especially considering that the Sierra Leone rebel leader was persecuted in his own country and implicating a sitting president of another sovereign nation sets a troubling precedent in international law".

Charles Taylor was convicted by the Special Court for Sierra Leone in 2012 for aiding and abetting war crimes and crimes against humanity during Sierra Leone’s civil war. He is currently serving a 50-year sentence in a UK prison.

It can be recalled that in January 2025, the Liberia National Heritage and Culture Development Association launched a nationwide petition to gather over two million signatures from Liberians in support of Taylor’s freedom, arguing that his prosecution by the Special Court for Sierra Leone was unjust.

Chief Alvin Mckay Calls for Full Investigation of Private Security Firms, Urges Government to Prioritize Compliant Companies

Monrovia, Liberia – The Chief Executive Officer of Alvina Security Services Inc., Chief Alvin Mckay, has called on the Government of Liberia, particularly the Public Safety Department of the Ministry of Justice, to strengthen oversight of the country's private security industry by prioritizing credible security companies and conducting a comprehensive investigation into the operations of all private security firms.

Chief Mckay said the private security sector plays a critical role in complementing the work of state security institutions by protecting businesses, public institutions, residential communities, financial institutions, and other key facilities across Liberia. He noted that the sector also contributes to employment creation and national development.

At the same time, he is also calling on the public to attend the institution's fourth-year anniversary celebration.

He urged the Government to recognize and support private security companies that have demonstrated professionalism, integrity, and full compliance with Liberia's laws and regulations.

The Alvina Security Services Inc. CEO further called on the Public Safety Department at the Ministry of Justice to launch a full-scale assessment of all licensed and operating private security companies to verify their legal status and compliance.

According to him, the investigation should include verification of business registration certificates, Ministry of Justice clearances, tax compliance, operational licenses, and other statutory requirements to ensure that only qualified and law-abiding companies remain in operation.

«"The Government must prioritize private security companies that are performing well within the private sector. At the same time, the Public Safety Department at the Ministry of Justice should conduct a thorough investigation to ensure that every security company is legally registered, properly licensed, and fully compliant with the laws of Liberia," Chief Mckay said.»

He added that stronger regulation and continuous monitoring would help eliminate illegal operators, improve professionalism, enhance public confidence, and create a more accountable private security industry.

Chief Mckay reaffirmed Alvina Security Services Inc.'s commitment to upholding the highest standards of professionalism while working with the Government of Liberia and other stakeholders to promote peace, safety, and national security across the country.
