The Liberian National Police has gone through some very difficult times over the years before and after the civil war. I wish to address policing in general in our Liberia. I would also address policing in the rest of Africa but first, let’s take care of our home. What about policing in Liberia? How do we change the narrative? We cry out for justice – we call upon the police to help us solve crimes committed against us. We cry and call out for the police to come in and settle disputes. We expect the police to perform at their…

The Editor, Free and fair elections are the foundation of all forms of democracy. In representative democracies, elections are the tools that citizens must use to practically hold political parties, candidates, and the incumbent governments accountable for their promises and performance.

The Editor, I think the government should please allow passenger flights in the country so others who are not citizens of Liberia can be able to leave the country. We can’t be locked down as well why we are not benefitting from the Liberian government. We need to go home to our families. Airlines are planning to resume starting June 1, 2020.  But most airlines are saying they will only come for passengers when the restrictions place on the airports are relaxed or lift up. Some of us need to go, our government are not willing to get us out…
