The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in March 25, 2024 shared this development:

"Today in Vienna, Minister Sara Beysolow Nyanti engaged in fruitful discussions with Mr. Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), about Liberia's involvement in IAEA initiatives.

A consensus was reached to collaborate on agricultural advancements, healthcare improvements, and environmental preservation, harnessing the power of nuclear science for social development and well-being"

On today July 5, 2025 of what has become a reality 👇👇👇

Foreign Minister Sara Beysolow Nyanti shares this highlight in appreciation of her work as Foreign Minister

"When we travel to engage on behalf of Liberia, it is for days like this that we celebrate. Grateful that our engagements as a new administration (mine and that of EPA, MOH and others) led to the historic visit of the IAEA Director General. As a cancer survivor, I made a personal appeal to DG Rafael Grossi in Vienna last year and to Mr. Shaukat Abdulrazak IAEA Head for Africa in Addis this year for us to elevate this partnership with cancer screening for women so that my blessing of having early detection of cancer could be a reality for all Liberian women. Today it is becoming a reality at JFK. I am alive because of access to early detection, and I am grateful. We are fighting cancer every day. We have no idea who or when it will hit next, so we must fight this.........It goes far beyond the 'work' and the politics - it is about people's lives"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Renowned Reconciliation Leader Dr. Antoine Rutayisire Arrives in Liberia for National Healing and Reconciliation Program

July 5, 2025

Executive Mansion, Monrovia –Dr. Antoine Rutayisire, keynote speaker for today’s National Healing, Reconciliation, and Unity Program, hosted by His Excellency President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. has arrived in the country.

Dr. Rutayisire arrived in Monrovia on July 4 and paid a courtesy visit to President Boakai at the Rehab Office. His participation in the National Program marks a pivotal moment in Liberia’s ongoing pursuit of truth, justice, and healing following years of conflict and national trauma.

Dr. Rutayisire is a survivor of the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and a distinguished authority on peacebuilding and reconciliation across Africa. He currently serves as the Rwandan Team Leader of African Enterprise, a faith-based organization devoted to healing and renewal in post-conflict societies. His life’s work has focused on restoring hope and unity in Rwanda, where he has played a central role in shaping and implementing the national reconciliation policy.

From 1999, Dr. Rutayisire served as a Commissioner on Rwanda’s National Unity and Reconciliation Commission, twice holding the post of Vice-Chairman. His leadership was instrumental in facilitating dialogue between perpetrators and survivors of the genocide and in promoting community-based reconciliation across the country. Prior to his work on the Commission, he served as Rwanda National Secretary for the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) and held academic posts at the Rwanda National University and in Kigali’s secondary school system.

Dr. Rutayisire holds an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of North Wales (UK, 1985–86) and an MA in Modern Literature and Curriculum Development from Rwanda University and PhD in Intercultural Studies with a focus on Transformative Leadership. He is a globally respected speaker on the subject of reconciliation and has delivered keynote addresses for World Vision and at Annual International Reconciliation Conferences hosted by Reconciliation New Works of Our World.

Drawing on his experience as a genocide survivor and reconciliation leader, Dr. Rutayisire brings a unique moral and spiritual voice to Liberia’s national healing process. He emphasizes that true reconciliation requires more than political settlements—it demands personal transformation, honest confession, forgiveness, and restorative justice, all grounded in faith and shared humanity.

President Boakai has prioritized national reconciliation as a cornerstone of his administration, vowing to honor the memory of victims of Liberia’s civil conflict, the Ebola epidemic, and the COVID-19 pandemic, while forging a future of unity. Today’s event at the EJS Ministerial Complex, will bring together faith leaders, survivors, government officials, and citizens from across the country to reflect, remember, and recommit to national healing.

Dr. Rutayisire’s presence highlights Liberia’s resolve to draw lessons from global experiences and to walk a path toward genuine reconciliation and lasting peace.

Former Buchanan Port Manager Charles MacArthur D. Gull ✍🏾👇🏾

"Everything was going fine. Bill Twehway was taking my advice, and together we were improving the Port. But things changed when “stomach infrastructure” joined Bill’s team. Suddenly, every suggestion I made was twisted for personal gain.

One of the most impactful recommendations I gave Bill was for the Port to purchase its own yellow machines to handle cargo loading. That move alone could have generated at least $200,000 per vessel. But the very next morning, Bill discussed it with “Stomach Messi”, and instead of benefiting the Port, he advised Bill to register the machines in his own name and form a company called Creative Development Corporation.

In just five months, they’ve already pocketed millions from cargo operations. That’s how Bill turned on me, and that betrayal is what eventually led to where we are today.

Now he’s dragging his belly to the next buyer."

So da who lay, Stomach Infrastructure or Stomach Messi na?
