The election of Madame Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf as the first ever female African Head of State
was intriguing. One thing I know for sure is that Liberia has
always been the first to lead the way for major political
changes in Africa. Take the case of former Liberian Dictator
Taylor. That was a heavy decision for any nation to take.
"Turning Taylor over to be tried for atrocities he supported in
Sierra Leone and not in Liberia?" That's a heavy decision for
any nation to make. Watch out, there are more surprises to
come... Daniel T. Vivour Concern Liberian Bangkok, Thailand

Ellen comes on strong but the govt.
needs to send a message to govt. officials.

I do believed, the ECOWAS audit
report was indeed the most interesting event in the history of
our country Liberia. It is interesting because since 1847 up to
2005, we as a nation have not conducted or carry out such audit
in government for this reason the issues of corruption is
rampant in government. I want to express my sincere thanks and
appreciation to members of the ECOWAS Audit Committee for such a
wonderful job well done, before the audit could be conducted
Liberia used to be called an elephant'' meat but as off today's
date before any administration leave office I do believe an
audit committee should be set up to carry out the same exercise
so that those who will take government position will be very
careful how to manage the country's money. For years formal
government officials took the country's money without any
punishment taken against them. Thanks, it's idw from the State

The E L E C T I O N of President
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was not a 2006 event. Perhaps you meant
inauguration.

The election of Ms Sirleaf as
President of Liberia is huge because beside being historical, it
opened the door for the freedom and inclusion of women In
African politic. In my opinion women make good politician
because they are more concern about the welfare of the nation
and its people than their self interest. I'm sure that she will
transform Liberia into a Paradise in Africa. Liberians have to
embrace her government in Unisom to rebuilt the country.
Criticize when criticism is due and praise when praising is due.
The main problem in my opinion is that there are too many news
outlet that are not responsible and discipline in reporting
their stories. They don't even checked out the facts before
reporting the story. Also, there are too many different
political factions that are self centered and do not have the
country at heart. Ellen will prevail, keep up the good work. Sam

The arrest and transfer of former
president Charles Taylor to the Hague for trial

This removed the stigma many women
in Africa faced... they can not be leader or need to sit on the
fence of politics. Sawmadal, Aaron N.D.

Charging Mr. Bryant with possible
crimes members of NTGL may have committed is ludicrous at best.
Remember, Mr. Bryant did not choose his own cabinet ministers.
They were selected by Warlords from different fighting groups
who had their own agendas. Mr. Bryant did not even have the
authority to fire any of these ministers for malfeasance or
other misconduct. The configuration of the transitional
government was such, it was meant to be the problem it became.
Thanks, G. Freeman
