Commemorating 200 Years of U.S.- Liberia Ties: Moving Forward Together 

Woo so this is why no development has come to Liberia, no good street from county to county then, so how can this be chance to make Liberia great as it is the promise land for mother Africa 🌍 with all the blessing it ? Peace ✌ one love am black and white .

Yes! I'm always so confused when Black- skinned people talk the way this woman is talking. She's talking about corruption in Liberia as if there's no corruption in America. She talks about promoting democracy --btw, what is that, really? America's supposed to be the shining example of democracy for the world, yet, there is corruption in America. Very confusing. Further to the confusion is the fact that Liberia has been connected to America for hundreds of years, so why has there been no improvement, especially considering the wealth of minerals there? Something's very wrong with this picture

Exactly!! That war didn't have to last that long and they involve themselves any other time.

No they don’t that’s Liberia business

you do not need then united states.. there is a dark history..they do no care for liberia. thewest is theexploiting , not our leaders. do you know tolbert was overthrown ????????????? these people are hypocrites..do your research on firestone rubber....? nonsense play play play government and talking heads

@@brandonjablasone7544 Well....uh.....yes and no. Hmmm. It's a very complicated situation (as most political situations are!) 1. Liberia only exists as a state because of the United States, so that still makes the country somewhat of a U.S. responsibility to help out problems there. 2. On the other hand Liberia considers it self now an independent nation, so then it's not right that the U.S. gets too involved. So it's a complex political problem. One that won't get solved over night. In my opinion I think Liberia could do with U.S. missionary/peace keeping efforts for now. Too much interference and Liberia accuses the U.S. of not minding their own business. Too little interference, and Liberia accuses the U.S. of not taking responsibility or the african state the U.S. created. That's the parodox! Uncle Sam Meets Black Panther!

The idea that America needs to “take over” is precisely the mindset that’s holding Liberia back - the complacency and dependence on others. 1 - America is not God or superior. America itself is struggling to govern itself. 2 - America itself is very corrupt (I speak as a Liberia who has lived in the diaspora) and Liberia is the off shore haven of USA. For this reason America has no interest in helping Liberia develop as a requirement of development is a functioning and adequate tax system and rule of law. Should these two things be established Liberia will no longer be a favourable country to hide USA money as an offshore haven. Don’t be deceived, the USA is undermining Liberia’s development. 3 - It is Liberian’s (at home and abroad) responsibility to take over their country and teach our people leadership. There are Liberians who understand what leadership is. Stop looking to the white man / western world - it is a matter of national security for the western world to prevent Africa’s economic development. 4 - you can’t proclaim Liberia is going no where and in the same token declare it blessed. Death and life lies in the power of the tongue.

What a shame!

Wow! And this is typical even European countries deal with any African country. When will African leaders learn? If they put their own countries first, they won't have to sell out to European nations for crumbs. But then again, the ones who try are murdered. What to do? Where is god in these situations?
