The new political organization, the Democratic Alliance has unveiled its
mission to rally the opposition political parties into a stronger coalition that
would challenge the ruling unity party in the ensuing 2011 general and
presidential elections in Liberia.

serious in presenting a viable alternative for political leadership in Liberia.

responsibilities of the army, since January 1, 2010, U.S. military mentors are continuing the
partnership subsisting between the two nations and are serving as role models for the AFL.

It was a fiercely fought campaign between the incumbent president Ms. Izetta
Wesley and challenger, Musa Bility. The incumbent leader had no impressive
record to wow the stakeholders and football enthusiasts to her side and the
challenger ran a campaign anchored on change message. For Liberian football
enthusiasts who are nostalgic about the past glorious days of football in Liberia
and are longing for the resurgence of such, it was the change messenger and his
message of change that resonated with them. And the result was a Tsunami
victory for the messenger of change crafted as “Commercialization of football in
Liberia.” Read detail

Liberia has deported seven people to the US after they were arrested for allegedly trying to ship
4,000kg of cocaine there, the government says. The suspects are accused of trying to bribe top
Liberian officials to protect large cocaine shipments "since 2007".
The men have now been charged by prosecutors in New York with conspiracy to import cocaine. In
recent years West Africa has become a transit point for drugs en route from South America to Europe
and the US.
Liberia's Solicitor-General Watkins Wrights read out a government statement, saying that the seven
men were from Russia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Ghana.
He said they had tried to smuggle the cocaine, with a street value of $100m (£68m), from Colombia.

The widow of Charles Taylor's former Vice President June 11, 2010 testified that she was never told
that her husband died from torture administered by Liberian security forces on Mr. Taylor's orders.

Guinea's interim prime minister wants a new decree from
the country's military leader that would give the transitional
government a bigger role in next month's second round of
presidential voting. Some political leaders, however, fear
the prime minister is trying to change the rules in the middle
of the game. Prime Minister Jean Marie Dore said a bigger
role for his transitional government in September's second
round of voting will resolve some of the logistical problems
that plagued June's first-round vote.
The prime minster said his transitional government will
assume its constitutional responsibility in the second round
of voting. He said that's because in the first round, people
said his government was responsible for deficiencies in the
process, while they generally said that the electoral

potential Mandingo youths who have shown exemplary
leadership and academic qualities over the years. These
accomplished individuals deserve our warmest recognition
and fullest support as a community. Such worthy
recognition will definitely help harness a spirit of renewed
hope and enthusiasm for the many other Liberian Mandingo
youths who are on the verge of falling behind as they strive
to actualize their dreams. It is often said that “the youths of
today are the future leaders of tomorrow”. This famous
saying seems to be quite true only if the youths of today are
given the necessary supports and opportunities to enrich
their potentials as they take on future leadership roles.
