⁠
The Lead campaigne‍r‌ fo‍r‍ the “Free Charles Taylor” movement, So⁠lomon Weawea, has rene⁠wed calls for the release o⁠f former Liberian President Ch⁠arles‌ Tay⁠lor, arguing that othe⁠r Africa‌n leader‍s who allegedl‌y suppor‌ted armed conflicts in the⁠ region w‌ere never pro‍s‍ecut‍ed.
‍
I‌n a statement‍, Weawea claimed that several former‌ Afric⁠an preside⁠nts, including Johnn‌y Paul Koroma of Si⁠erra Leon⁠e, Lansana Cont‌é, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, and Blaise Compao‍ré,‍ were all linked to regio‌nal conflict⁠s during the Liber⁠ia‌n civil war era.

He argued that w⁠hil‍e severa‍l leaders were accused of backing‌ factio‌ns involved in w‌ars across West Afri‌ca‌, T⁠aylor be‌came the on⁠ly former Afr‍ican head of state convicted b‍y an international tribunal for w⁠ar-r‌elated crimes tied to the Si⁠erra Leone conflict.

Taylor was convicted i‌n 2012 by t‌he S‌pecial Court for S‍ierra L‌eone for aiding and abettin‌g rebel f⁠orces of the Revolutionary United Front (R‌UF) d‌uring S‍ierra⁠ Leone’s bruta‌l civil war.
‌
Pr‌os⁠ecutors said he provided weap‍ons, traini‍ng, and support in exchange for the so-called “blood diamonds.” He is currently serving a 50-year‌ prison sentence in the Uni⁠ted Kingdom.

⁠Historically, regional tensions during the Libe‌r‌i‌an and Sierra Leonean civil wars often involved neighbo⁠ring governments and armed movement‍s. Koroma was associated w‍i‍th Sierra Leon⁠e’s Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AF‌RC‍), which al‍lied with the RUF during the conflict.
⁠
Co⁠nté’s Gui‍nea wa⁠s⁠ involved‍ in borde‌r clashes‍ and‌ su⁠pported ant‌i-Taylor fact‌ions dur‍ing Lib⁠eria’s wars.

Houphouët⁠-Boigny was widely viewed as a‍n early regional supporter of ant⁠i-Samue‌l Doe rebel mov‌eme‍nts, whi⁠le Compa‍oré faced longstanding‍ accusations of fac⁠ilitating reg‍ional i‍ns‍urge⁠nt groups, claims he r‍epeatedly denied.

Weawea described Taylor’s prosecution as sel⁠ectiv‍e‍ justice and vowed that ca‍mpaigners would continue advocating⁠ for what they called equal accountability‍ for‌ all leader‌s connected to West African confl⁠icts.

Weawea Condemns Kolubah Expulsion, Calls for Legislative Reform

The Executive Director of the Liberia National Heritage and Culture Development Association (LNHCDA), Solomon Weawea, is once again speaking out against the expulsion of Montserrado County District #10 Representative Yekeh Kolubah.

In a statement shared on social media, Weawea said the punishment handed down to Kolubah was excessive and failed to address the broader national debate surrounding the matter.

“We must focus on the primary issue at hand — the national debate. The expulsion of Yekeh Kolubah, an elected government official, is not a prudent decision. A less severe disciplinary measure would have been more suitable,” Weawea stated.

He acknowledged that Kolubah’s comments were inappropriate for a national leader but argued that they did not justify such a harsh penalty. According to him, the situation was comparable to “speaking out of turn,” noting that Kolubah would have been protected had the remarks been made during plenary proceedings.

Weawea also called on the Legislature to organize leadership workshops aimed at improving dialogue and strengthening cooperation among lawmakers. “We urge the Legislature to hold leadership workshops to brainstorm on issues, so individuals can learn from one another.

God bless Liberia,” he added.
Representative Kolubah was expelled earlier this year following controversial remarks linked to the Liberia-Guinea border issue.

The complaint against him was filed by Montserrado County District #3 Representative Sumo Mulbah and Liberia National Police Inspector General Gregory O. W. Coleman, who cited concerns over national security and public safety.

Kolubah had requested additional time to secure legal representation but was reportedly granted only two days. The Supreme Court later scheduled a conference with House leadership on April 20, 2026, to hear his petition for a writ of prohibition.

Prominent Liberian figures, including Senator Abraham Darius Dillon and former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, have also expressed concerns over the expulsion, arguing that the decision raises questions about due process and freedom of expression.

“Liberia Must Not Normalize Violence Against Women”
—Alpha Phi Alpha Demands Justice Over Public Humiliation Incident

The Liberian Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated has strongly condemned a disturbing incident in which a young woman was allegedly stripped naked in public and subjected to humiliation and abuse.

The group, however, described the act as a serious violation of human dignity and a painful reflection of the growing threat of gender-based violence in Liberia.

In a statement issued Friday, the fraternity said the incident represents “a grave violation of fundamental human rights” and called on authorities to move swiftly in investigating the matter and ensuring that those responsible are prosecuted.

The organization expressed deep concern over what it described as a persistent culture of violence and abuse targeting women and girls across the country, warning that silence and inaction could embolden perpetrators and weaken public confidence in the justice system.

“Such cruel and degrading acts cannot and must not be normalized, excused, or ignored under any circumstance,” the statement emphasized.

“The public stripping and humiliation of any woman is not only an assault on the individual victim, but also an attack on the collective conscience of our nation," the group noted.

The fraternity said Liberia is at a critical moment where institutions and citizens alike must take a firm stand against all forms of violence against women, especially acts that seek to shame, intimidate, or dehumanize victims in public spaces.

Alpha Phi Alpha called on the Government of Liberia, particularly the Liberia National Police, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, and other relevant institutions, to launch what it termed a “swift, transparent, and impartial investigation” into the incident.

The group stressed that accountability is essential to restoring public trust and deterring future abuses, and asserted, “We urge the authorities to ensure that all perpetrators are brought to justice to the full extent of the law."

Beyond calls for prosecution, the fraternity also appealed for immediate psychological, legal, and social support for the victim, including counseling and protection services to help her recover from the trauma.

The incident has sparked renewed public debate over gender-based violence in Liberia, with many citizens and advocacy groups demanding stronger enforcement of laws intended to protect women and girls from abuse and exploitation.

Women’s rights advocates have repeatedly warned that public humiliation, mob violence, and sexual abuse continue to rise in some communities, often fueled by impunity, harmful social norms, and weak institutional responses.

Alpha Phi Alpha, known globally for its advocacy on justice and social issues, reaffirmed its solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence and pledged continued support for efforts aimed at protecting vulnerable women and girls throughout Liberia.

“As an organization committed to leadership, justice, service, and advocacy, we stand in solidarity with all victims and survivors of gender-based violence,” the fraternity stated.

“We remain committed to supporting efforts for accountability under the law and the advancement of a safer and more just society for all Liberians," the group added.

Meanwhile, the fraternity concluded with a strong warning that Liberia cannot afford to tolerate violence against women in any form.

“Silence in the face of violence only empowers perpetrators. Liberia must send a clear and unwavering message that violence, sexual assault, and the public humiliation of women will not be tolerated," the statement declared.
