The U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced that, beginning October 16, 2025, all individuals registering for the Diversity Visa (DV) Lottery (or “green card lottery”) must pay a $1 electronic registration fee.

This is the first time that participants will be charged simply to enter the annual lottery.

The change is intended to distribute the costs of managing the DV lottery more evenly across all registrants, instead of placing the burden only on the small number of applicants who are selected to apply for a visa.

The new policy comes just before the registration period for the 2027 DV lottery, which opens in early October (exact dates to be announced by DOS).

LTA says it is coming to Stop Fake Phones and Stop people from Stealing Phones..

The Liberia Telecommunications Authority (LTA) is working on new rules to stop the spread of fake phones and reduce phone theft. One big plan is to create a Central Identification Registry (CIR), where every phone’s unique 15-digit IMEI number must be registered by importers, sellers, and users. This number helps identify the phone’s make, model, and if it was lost or stolen.

Before a SIM card can be used, service providers will check that the phone is registered. If a phone is stolen, it can be reported and blocked so no one else can use it. The CIR will also connect to a global database to help track stolen phones worldwide. This plan will help protect phone users and make the country’s phone system safer.

Former President Weah Named Honorary Captain of FIFA’s Players’ Voice Panel in Global Anti-Racism Push

Staff Writer

Former Liberian President and Ballon d’Or winner George Weah has been appointed honorary captain of FIFA’s newly launched Players’ Voice Panel, a 16-member task force of football legends committed to tackling racism and discrimination across the sport A B.

The panel, unveiled as part of FIFA’s Global Stand Against Racism initiative, brings together iconic figures like Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Adebayor, Briana Scurry, and Formiga to advise on anti-racism strategies, drive education, and shape policy reforms within the football ecosystem C.

Weah’s appointment is both symbolic and strategic. As a player, he broke barriers—becoming the first and only African to win the Ballon d’Or. As a statesman, he led Liberia through six years of democratic governance. Now, as captain of the Players’ Voice Panel, he brings lived experience, global influence, and a deep commitment to justice.

“Football brings unity and development. It also enhances humanity,” Weah said. “I will always exert all efforts, as I have done in the past and continue to do, to promote the sport because football is life. I am honoured to serve in this role” A.

The panel’s mission includes:

• Monitoring and advising on anti-racism initiatives
• Participating in educational campaigns across all levels of the game
• Advocating for cultural change and accountability both on and off the pitch

FIFA President Gianni Infantino emphasized the urgency of the task:

“Racism and discrimination are not simply wrong—they are crimes. These panel members will help ensure that measures to counter racism are not just talked about, but actioned” A.

Weah’s leadership is expected to galvanize global efforts and inspire a new generation of players and fans to stand firmly against racism in football.

Breaking News 🗞️

GSA Tells Staff How to Dress as reflected in the attached memo, but staff raise alarm: “This is distraction”

“No bushy bear.
No busy hair.
No sleeveless blouse.
No tight jeans.
No short dress.
No track suit. No short skirt. Etc.”

Staff Response 👇

“Response to the GSA Dress Code Memorandum

Fellow Liberians,

We must ask ourselves: did we elect leaders to regulate slippers, trousers, bushy bear and hairstyles, or did we elect them to change our livelihoods and add value to our lives?

At a time when our people are crying for jobs, struggling with high cost of living, seeking better healthcare, and praying for quality education, is this what leadership has been reduced to—policing how employees and visitors dress? Instead of focusing on policies that empower and uplift, we are handed a list that condemns dreadlocks, bushy bear, hair, jeans, and even tracksuits.

This is not governance. This is a distraction. True leadership is measured by the opportunities you create, the lives you touch, and the dignity you restore to the people—not by the clothes people wear when they walk through your gate.

We will not accept a Liberia where leaders focus on appearances while ignoring the real issues that matter to the masses. We remind those in authority: we did not elect you to police fashion, we elected you to transform lives.

The people deserve leadership that builds, not leadership that dictates. We need policies that feed our families, create jobs for our youth, empower women, and bring light to our homes—not policies that discriminate against hair and clothing.

The time has come for our leaders to choose: will you be remembered for changing Liberia, or for banning slippers bushy bear and dreadlocks?

The choice is yours.”

This is a developing story.
