The Liberian Mandingoes – A Way Forward
By: Mohammed Dukuly
July 01,2009
The ultimate decision of each one of us to be first and foremost a Liberian and then Mandingo is one that Allah decreed out of His rahmat(mercy) to mankind fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and earth; as such, no one has the slightest ability to alter God’s will. Rather, it becomes imperative for us as a people and servants of Allah to show gratitude to Him by capturing the true sense of humanity in every human being unheeded of anything whatsoever. In the same vein, I would say that being Liberians and Mandingoes is an inalienable privilege God bestowed upon us; we can’t refuse it; didn’t seek it; didn’t choose it. Read detail

June 30,2009
The tides could not have been any higher; the competition any stiffer, the issues any more sensitive, our community any more energized, the political atmosphere of our elections any more stimulated, and the future of our unborn generations any more tenuous.
These are the moments that will try our soul, test our resilience, challenge our integrity, and re-examine the true essence of our existence. If nothing else, such times and activities should challenge our utmost ability to rise above it all, and stand tall as one united front against the very petit issues that tear us apart and keep our community backward.

Unraveling the sycophantic and hypocritical nature of the so-called “National Mandingo Caucus of Liberia ”, and the danger it poses to the political and social survival of the Mandingo ethnic group in present day Liberia :
By: Jesefu Morris Keita, Jr.
June 30, 2009
History is replete with numerous instances of situations in which a narrowly defined group or clique always desire to gain worldly riches and power at the expense of the majority by hijacking and at length torpedoing their genuine struggle for political and social liberation from the shackles of marginalization, political suppression and denial to equal opportunities. This is the sad state of affairs in which the Mandingoes of Liberia find themselves with the “National Mandingoes Caucus” serving as the elite who have now sworn to both heaven and earth that it must exploit its own people for innately selfish reasons.

The Mamadee Sesay Campaign
Fourteen Points Platform
By: Musa Fofana, Chief Public Affair,
Atlanta, GA
June 27, 2009
As presidential candidate, the responsibility for the overall organization and management of my campaign lies under my leadership. I therefore want to make sure that we have clearly defined expectations for ourselves and for those we want to lead.
One way I think we can achieve success is to make sure we set our goals and specify how we intend to achieve those goals in the short and long run. In so doing, we need to come out with a platform that will set the tone of our campaign, shows the motivation and enthusiasm of my candidacy as well as excite our supporters
As an organization still in its infancy, I sincerely believe that what lies behind us is far lesser than what lies ahead of us. We however cannot tap into that potential blindly; we need a guide to lead us through. Read detail
