Radio stations that could afford to fuel their generators remained on the air. Journalists were harrassed and intimidated, sometimes beatened and jailed. Radio statios like Radio Veritas and Star radio were searched temporarily or permanently closed ( but later reopened)under and after Taylor’ regime.

Hold it, holier than though, man of the cloth Mullah Robertson is on record supporting a butcher like Taylor ’cause he was trying to protect his corrupt stake in a Liberian goldmine??????! God really really needs to get back into the smiting business…. Robertson as a piller of salt sounds good to me.

There are many ways the women’s movement can be supported in Liberia. One major way is to provide funding for their macro/micro projects. Because in the absence of a strong financial standing, men will continue to manipulate them. They also need educational support for their children especially the girls. Females journalists need support, both financial (better pay) and educational WIPNET needs to ne funded in order to continue to be the conscience of the society. and the list goes on….

Thanks so much for being here and sharing.

We were all worried about our safety but it was like you either confront the devil and pray him to hell or die like a coward and regret that you did not do something when you had life in you.

That’s a quotable, IMO.

No. I presently live in the US. I look forward to obtaining a scholarship to allow me attend Tufts University.
