I write to you with a seething indignation borne of the overwhelming evidence of over 22 documented human rights violations perpetrated under the current President Boakai regime. These atrocities—including state-sanctioned brutality, extrajudicial killings, and systematic repression—have left our nation scarred. Your once-respected voice, which inspired hope and demanded justice, now echoes with a silence that is as damning as it is deplorable. The people of Liberia expected a principled leader in you, but your inaction speaks volumes of your betrayal.
Recent developments, particularly the freeze of aid from the United States under President Donald Trump’s administration, have heightened the urgency for the country to reassess its reliance on external support.
In Liberia, a country with deep Christian roots and traditions, political inaugurations are often steeped in religious rituals and declarations. These ceremonies symbolize the dawn of new leadership, filled with hope, solemnity, and promises of a brighter future.
After enduring President Joseph Boakai’s delusional and self-congratulatory State of the Nation Address, it is imperative that we dismantle this blatant attempt to mask the harsh realities faced by the Liberian people. While the President and his detached advisors bask in an echo chamber of scripted praise, their fabricated narrative of success collapses under the weight of undeniable public suffering.Â
We thank God Almighty, the Preserver of our Nation, and are grateful for His blessings upon us over the past 12 months and nearly two centuries of nationhood.
 As our world continues to confront vexing challenges, some existential, we must strive for a better, more peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive global community.
An Opinion on the Dissatisfaction Regarding the Liberia Electricity Corporation (LEC) Monthly Surge Charge, the entity tasked with providing electricity to the Liberian populace, plays a critical role in the nation’s development.
The past year of deliberate but critical governing missteps has marked a missed opportunity for the Boakai administration. It was a generational chance, handed on a silver platter, to create a legacy worth remembering. Unfortunately, the accumulating missteps have turned promises into peril, setting the stage for a governance crisis akin to a ‘Titanic’ disaster.
This opinion piece summarizes the PhD dissertation for Prof. Thomas Kaydor, Jr. from the Faculty of Government and European Studies, New University, Slovenia. The topic for the PhD research was ‘reconceptualizing Africa’s regional integration for peace and sustainable development’. Chapter five of the UN charter focuses on peace, and security; and Chapter VIII on regionalism.
With almost a year at the helm of the Liberian maritime authority, Commissioner Cllr. Neto Zarzar Lighe and his team of deputies are gradually transforming the nation’s blue economy through astute and innovative leadership. From the Pacific Ocean over to the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean, the sailing vessels that carry the Liberian flag are visible, thus placing Liberia to be the world's largest maritime country in 2025.
In my first public opinion in 2025, I extended New Year Greetings to all and called on the Government of Liberia to Urgently Appoint the President of the University of Liberia where I currently serve as an Assistant Professor at the IBB Graduate School of International Studies.
