If those 40 years you're talking about Liberians was building Liberia 🇱🇷 then it could have been better than Ghana, Ivory Coast, and other African countries but they decided to kill each other and burn down their infrastructure. Do you think to build it easy?? Now it is time to rebuild. Roads, schools, hospitals, Markets houses and you name it. We don't want any more senseless war in our country. Thanks

Worked in Monrovia in 1979/80 and was there on 12th April 1980 when Doe took over. Had to leave after a couple of months as business was so bad. Travelled around the country - Harper / Buchanan and also upcountry - and the income disparity was obvious. It needed more engagement to resolve that fault line. Reading the news of the horrors of the resultant turmoil was sad in the extreme and my thoughts were always with the many good people that i met during my time in Liberia.

When Liberia was beautiful and refreshing, but than an uneducated Man came around the early 80 and started to take away the beauty this country had. Not realizing the American that power him in was only trying to benefits the barging, but at some point his rebellion took a different roots and things got really nasty by the early 90. Lots of lives were taken away as the so called American stood by and watch this beautiful nation came to pieces. The 21st century and things has gotten worse the country is destroyed daily by young politicians coming back home pretending to help develop this land all in the name of the US dollars. No gd hospitals, running water, electricity or traffic light, school, or a decent apartment that were once the beauty of the sub surrounding the capital.

Quite frankly, I have been a Liberian since I was born. And the fact that, Liberians are still dreaming about the 50s, 60s and 70s, is viewed by many native Liberians are shameful and embarrassing. I say this because, there is nothing great about a period in our country when the majority of the population was deprived and made second class citizens in a land they have occupied since generations and generations. Liberia is not Monrovia. And, the pictures in this mini video doesn't depicts the entire country. But, the petite enclave of the #rulingclass vis a vis Monrovia. For many of us today, Liberia maybe a broken country, bearing the scars of the war years.... and bad governance under 12 years of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. But, let it be told to all men and women in the Earth and above, that Liberia will #RiseAgain from the shadows of divisiveness and bitterness. Liberia will be born as a #OneNation where there will be no class or the so called brainwashing of the Natives against the Natives. Liberia is struggling because for 133 years the government never prioritizes education, development and democracy. So, today we're seeing a very new country where everyone is being able to participate in the national revolution. We are better off now, because we are all part of the New Dispensation of our society. We're better off now, not because we don't have the development like other countries. But because our society has advanced from the past " So Says One, So Says All".... Today we barely see domestic slavery in our society. Today, not just the Americos Liberians can run for National Assembly, or the Presidency, Chief Justice, but all worthy members of the society are eligible for every position in the New Republic. That's progress for us all 👍🏾🙏🏾👏🏾🥂 The road to lasting success, peace and prosperity will be rough. But it takes a very determined approach by the government and the people to make the sacrifices of lifting Liberia from the decadence of the society. The future is now. Liberia needs genuine support, not any more unbalanced views. We will get there 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
