During the Ebola crisis, while I was in the opposition and had no government position, I took the initiative to recruit over 1,000 young Liberians to assist the government in tackling the deadly epidemic. I did not wait for appointment. I did not wait for recognition. I acted. Because true leadership is not about title it is about sacrifice and service when it matters most.
The name Musa Hassan Bility is no stranger in contemporary Liberian political and social circles. Hailing from one of the remote villages of Nimba County, he has steadily expanded his influence across nearly every aspect of national life. From building a business empire, to rising as a celebrated sports administrator, and now as a seasoned politician, Bility has emerged as one of Liberia’s most influential and ambitious public figures.
When the Vice President of the Republic of Liberia, Hon. Jeremiah K. Koung , a man constitutionally charged with assisting the President in the execution of the nation’s laws and presiding over the Senate’s legislative deliberations, travels to China not to conduct a state visit, negotiate a bilateral agreement, or represent the country in a formal capacity, but instead to personally inspect the price and quality of construction machines, the entire architecture of good governance is called into question.
President Donald Trump campaigned on his ability to protect world peace, arguing that were he in the White House, the Russia-Ukraine war would not have started and that probably the current deadly Israel-Hamas fight in Gaza might have been obviated. Donald Trump was not in the White House so the world missed these opportunities.

Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations. In this important year, Liberia has been successfully elected as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2026–2027 term, marking its historic return to the Security Council.
When President Joseph Nyuma Boakai took the oath of office in January 2024, he stood on the shoulders of history. The oldest democratically elected leader in Liberia’s history, Boakai promised to redeem a country weary of political drama, economic mismanagement, and institutional rot. But two years into his presidency, a performance audit from his own government now points to an inconvenient truth: Boakai’s administration is failing, and not just politically, but functionally.
The passing of Liberia’s former First Lady, Madam Nancy B. Doe, should have been a solemn moment of reflection and unity — a chance to remember her and pay our respects. Instead, her funeral has been politicized in a manner that disrespects both the deceased and the nation’s collective grief. We must resist turning moments of mourning into spectacles of division.
It is no longer a secret: the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) of George Manneh Weah harbors an unrelenting desire for a political comeback. Among its diehard supporters, this ambition is framed as a quest to complete the grassroots agenda they say was cut short by what they describe as “lies and propaganda” waged by the opposition, turned ruling party led by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai.
The Hidden Power, the Convenient Timing, and the Questions No One Is Asking Hon. Yekeh Kolubah is loud, controversial, and a self-declared enemy of the establishment. But what if that’s exactly what makes him the perfect intelligence asset?
