Liberia accepts this second-class position but the people oof Liberia do not accept it This is the reason for the absence of democracy in Liberia and in other countries, There is the rule of outlaw instead of the Rule of Law in these countries. This means that these countries are undemocratic.
No wonder the people of Liberia have concluded that Liberia is in the wrong direction (Afrobarometer, 2022). This direction is wrong because it creates poverty generation rather than poverty alleviation. This wrong direction is seen in the fact that Liberia is experiencing poverty, which has become the pretext for violence, in the forms of a coup d’etat and a civil war that has taken the lives of at least three hundred thousand people, not forgetting the many more people who were injured.
This wrong direction is bad and has to be changed. The good news is that this direction is changing. This direction is changing through awareness raising. This awareness raising is changing the bad prevailing direction into the good enduring direction within the Rule of Law. Injustice in Liberia is changing to Justice as seen on the statue in the compound of the Tembe of Justice that showed the view Let Justice to Be done to All Men. Now it shows the view Let Justice Be Done to All.
This change is at once is the only and best way to change the bad prevailing system of injustice and bring in the good enduring system of Justice. This way is getting persons with good records elected to bring in the system of Justice, the indispensable ingredient for Peace and Progress in Liberia and in any other country.
