History Of Liberia A Time Line

http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/gmdhtml/libhtml/liberia.html

Extractions: After the struggle for liberty in the American Revolution, free and enslaved African Americans faced continued hardship and inequality. A number of white Americans, for a variety of reasons, joined them in their efforts to resolve this complex problem. One possible solution (advocated at a time when the assimilation of free blacks into American society seemed out of the question) was the complete separation of white and black Americans. Some voices called for the return of African Americans to the land of their forebears. - African-American Quaker and maritime entrepreneur Paul Cuffee (or Cuffe) financed and captained a successful voyage to Sierra Leone where he helped a small group of African-American immigrants establish themselves. Cuffee believed that African Americans could more easily "rise to be a people" in Africa than in America with its system of slavery and its legislated limits on black freedom. Cuffee also envisioned a black trade network organized by Westernized blacks who would return to Africa to develop its resources while educating its people in the skills they had gained during captivity. Cuffee died in 1817 without fully realizing his dream. - The partial success of Paul Cuffee's African venture encouraged white proponents of colonization to form an organization to repatriate those free African Americans who would volunteer to settle in Africa. Prominent Americans such as Henry Clay, John Randolph of Roanoke, and Justice Bushrod Washington were members of the American Colonization Society (ACS) during its early years. Many free African-Americans, however, including those who had supported Paul Cuffee's efforts, were wary of this new organization. They were concerned that it was dominated by Southerners and slave holders and that it excluded blacks from membership. Most free African-Americans wanted to stay in the land they had helped to build. They planned to continue the struggle for equality and justice in the new nation. See African-American Mosaic:

Land Economy Of Liberia
By 1906 the Liberian government was literally bankrupt. In 1911, the Liberiagovernment turned to the United States for a foreign loan.
http://pages.prodigy.net/jkess3/Land.html

Extractions: When Dr. Wlimot Blyden, a Liberian scholar and diplomat visited Bopulu, he said " The view in the distance, two or three miles northeast and southeast of Bopulu, is bounded by beautiful hills. The surrounding scenery is picturesque beyond our power to describe, resembling, in the hills by which the town is environed, the scenery about Jerusalem, with the exception that here the hills are covered with a rich and luxuriant verdure, as if fresh from the hands of their Maker, indicating fertility and abundance...". Travelling back to the Atlantic coast are the Mano River, the Lofa River, St. Paul River, Farmington River,St John's River, Cestos River, Sanguin River, Dugbe River, Grand Cess River, and Cavalla River, all of which transport tons of natural debris into the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the rivers are navigable at some locations, as they reach the coast; others are not. Out in the southwest, in Grand Cape Mount County, is beautiful Lake Piso, which has an area of about 40 square miles. Stretching through the length and breath of Liberia is the preponderance of ponds, brooks, creeks, and streams. While this massive pool of water assist the vegetation and provides fertility for the land, it creates extensive flooding during the raining season. As a child growing up in Voinjama, the capital of Lofa County, I recollect that travelling was especially difficult during the raining season. Streams, brooks, and creeks, that were easily passable on foot, overflew their banks, and made transportation almost impossible. The economic life of the people in the interior almost came to a standstill, because of this massive flooding. I recalled on several occasions, when we could not visit my maternal grandfather, who lived about 30 miles southeast of Voinjama, because the roads were flooded.

Extractions: In the early 1800s, as the United States debated the status and rights of its Black population, the government made its first stand with regard to Liberia (known at the time as the Grain Coast): Congress would help provide funding to send freeborn Blacks and emancipated slaves there to establish a colony The idea of repatriating Blacks from America to West Africa was a controversial one. Among African Americans themselves, opinion was divided. Some felt they should stay and fight for equality and freedom in America. Others were encouraged by the promise of their own land, but were suspicious of the motives of the American Colonization Society (ACS) for sending them to Africa. Quaker members of the ACS felt that African Americans would have a much better chance at liberty in a country of their own than they would in America. Slaveholder members of the ACS agreed with the principle of sending Blacks to Africa, but theirs was a more selfish, and racist, reason: They wanted to rid America of any free Blacks who might help organize a slave rebellion. And so in 1822 the first Black, American settlers crossed the ocean and arrived on the Grain Coast, their voyage the first thread of a complex web that would link Liberia to America over many decades. The settlement was named Monrovia, after U.S. president James Monroe, and the colony became Liberia. Over the next 40 years, 19,000 African Americans, Africans recaptured from slave ships, and a small number of West Indians, would settle in Liberia.

Extractions: Peace Radio This page last updated: Thursday, January 08, 2004 Star Radio [Programme producer/Broadcaster] was set up and managed by Fondation Hirondelle (Swallow Foundation), a Swiss-based non-governmental organisation, in partnership with Radio Monrovia (a private FM station). It was funded by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) and the Netherlands Development Agency (NEDA). Its estimated cost for 2000 was set at $600,000. It was set up with the aim of providing Liberians with impartial news and information and began broadcasting, initially on FM only, on 15 July 1997. Shortwave broadcasts were added in September 1997. The project aimed at making Star Radio a fully independent and autonomous station by 2004 following an "emergency phase" (May 1997-December 1998) and a "consolidation phase" (January 1999 - 2003). Star Radio was closed down by the Liberian Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications between 7 January and 6 February 1997 due to an alleged illegal allocation of broadcast frequencies. The Liberian government withdrew the station's shortwave frequencies in October 1998, and restated its refusal to grant Star Radio a shortwave licence in February 2000.

Liberia Excluded From Canadian Government Debt Relief

http://www.theperspective.org/debtrelief.html

Extractions: Jan 8, 2001 Last month the Canadian federal government, through Finance Minister Paul Martin, announced a moratorium on debt payments from all heavily indebted poor countries (HIPCs) owing Canada. The minister was delivering on an initiative he launched during meetings of the World Bank and IMF in Prague last September, at which he publicly requested that all creditor governments suspend debt interest payments from poor countries. Federal sources say the initiative "will let most of Canada's poorest debtors off the hook for interest payments until the IMF, World Bank and creditor countries work out a permanent plan to forgive the countries' debts completely", according to the Globe and Mail (December 19, 2000). Canada is currently owed about $1.1 billion by 17 of the 41 countries classified as HIPCs by the World Bank and IMF. The seventeen are Benin, Bolivia, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Honduras, Madagascar, Senegal, Tanzania, Zambia, Congo, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Rwanda, and Sudan. Eleven of these countries, with a total debt amounting to some $700 million, immediately begin benefiting from the moratorium as of January 1, this year. However, the remaining six countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Sudan, Congo, Rwanda, and the Ivory Coast, will not qualify until they are "fully committed to the principles of peaceful development and good governance, including the protection of human rights".

Cunningham, United States Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, on the Situation in Liberia, in the Security Council, November 5, 2001 Thank you, Madam President. I would like also to welcome you to the Chair and to welcome the Liberian Foreign Minister here today. I also want to commend Ambassador Ayafor and his team for presenting us with one of the most comprehensive and useful reports we have seen in the Council. They deserve our respect not only for the thoroughness of their work but for their honesty and integrity, particularly in the face of several attempts by government officials in the region to influence the outcome of the report. The methodology of the report is highly professional and sound, with good analysis, and the five detailed case studies are especially informative. In March of this year, the Security Council adopted

http://www.afrol.com/News2001/lib001_un_sanctions.htm

Extractions: afrol.com, 20 January - Following Liberia's continued support to the Sierra Leonean RUF terrorists and attacks destabilising Guinea, the UN is now considering to impose trade and travel embargos on the country. Charles Taylor, President of Liberia, has been partly responsible for armed conflicts and economic criminality in the region for over a decade. On Thursday, the US proposed a resolution in the United Nations Security Council that could ban Liberia's diamond and timber exports and stop international flights into the country. The draft resolution refers to an earlier conclusion by the Security Council that "the bulk of RUF diamonds leave Sierra Leone through Liberia, and that such illicit trade cannot be conducted without the permission and involvement of Liberian government officials at the highest levels, including President Charles Taylor."
