Is National Flag Day Celebration meant for students or Military?

Former Servicewoma and Retired Veteran of the Armed Forces of Liberia now based in the US State of Georgia, shares precisely unique characteristics and description of the Liberian Flag.

Veteran Joyce DeLine writes: ✍🏻
👇👇👇

“The Flag of Liberia features eleven red and white stripes, representing the signatories of the Declaration of Independence, and two colors symbolizing courage and moral excellence.
A blue canton with a single white star signifies the freedom of the freed slaves and Liberia's status as a unique independent nation in Africa.”

On the recent Celebration of Flag Day on August 24, 2025, the former servicewoman adds, reflecting how the Flag Day was celebrated during their time before now:

👇👇👇

“I really did not understand why the soldiers were marching on Flag Day. Because it is only for schools of course we used the army band. Attending the program was the Minister of Education or Minister of State who represented the President. That day was for schools to shine.
I drilled on the General Staff which led the entire parade. No soldiers just students.

Every year a high school would lead the march with representatives from each high school. In 1972, Gerald Brandy was the major, while others and I represented our schools on the staff. We drilled to the mansion where the president received the eyes right or who he designated."

What has changed today?

Government of Liberia through its Immigration Service to raise US$7.5m from registration of over fifty thousand Burkinabees at charge of US$150.00 for Resident Permit in Grand Gedeh and River Gee Counties, a credible source shared by Eddie Gibson, a land rights and conservation Activist said.

In the last few years Burkinabees largely of the Moasi tribe have been trooping into Liberia's bordering countries especially Grand Gedeh as laborers and scale coacoa farmers.

With just $150.00 for Resident Permit, the influx of Burkinabees in expected to double in the coming years, posing the region to potential land grabbing, population increase in the number of Burkinabees and threat to peace and security.

Just In:

In preparation to increase female participation and representation in the National Legislature, and setting of a new Legislative threshold for the 2029 General and Legislative Elections, House of Representatives through its Chairman on the Committee on Elections and Inauguration, Hon. Thomas Romeo Quioh of Sinoe County Electoral District #1, leads high power legislative delegation including representatives of the National Elections Commission on an experience sharing tour of three African nations.

Representative Thomas Romeo Quioh will lead his colleagues from the Legislature and representatives of the National Elections Commission to Namibia, Kenya and Rwanda for experience sharing on how each of the African nations achieved their female representation threshold.

Liberia sets a threshold of 30% for female representation in the National Legislature, and this tour affords the Liberian delegation the opportunity to acquire knowledge on the way forward to achieving 30% female representation using the success stories and experiences of Namibia, Kenya and Rwanda.

The Team is expected to depart on Saturday August 30, 2025.

PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!

The University of Liberia Faculty Association (ULFAJ, Inc. Convened an Emergency General Assembly (EGA) for Full-Time Faculty on Friday.
August 29, 2025 at 11:00 A.M on the Capitol Hill Campus of the University of Liberia.

Today's assembly was predicated on the July 18, 2025, constitutional General Assembly (GA) which mandated the Executive Committee of ULFA to present and hold discussions with the University of Liberia (UL)
Administration and other stakcholders within the period of one month on issues affecting the welfare of faculty.

These issues include: poor sanitary conditions, long standing faculty promotion, salary disparity, social security, issues affecting study leave colleagues and renovation of all campuses. Most recent issues include outstanding payment for overload and vacation school salaries.

Due to these unresolved outstanding issues, the faculty voted unanimously at today's emergency general assembly to stay away from all academic activities until a negotiated Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) addressing all ULFA issues are signed by the University of Liberia (UL) Administration, the Government of Liberia (GoL) and ULFA.

Therefore, all Faculty members are urged to disengage from any planned academic activities on all campuses of the UL until further notice.

END!

Signed: ULFA Secretariat

Grand Bassa County Senator, and Senate Pro Temp, Nyongblee Kangar Lawrence writes ✍️ 👇 👇

Clarifying the issue surrounding the tailings in Grand Bassa County:

The tailings are the residue left from the iron ore that LAMCO extracted from Liberia many years ago. After LAMCO departed, the residue referred to as tailings was transferred to the Government, with the understanding that the host country would benefit from the mining of the tailings.

The estimated quantity of the tailings is 11.6million metric tons.

What is the process for mining the tailings?

The Executive Branch, through the Lands, Mines, and Energy Ministry, should issue a tender for companies to apply for a mining license to move the tailings.

When a company meets the requirements and the permit is granted, that company will sign an agreement outlining how the county will benefit from the tailings operations.

No lawmaker, Senator, or Representative should be a signatory to any county agreement as the granting of mining licenses is a function of the executive. The involvement of any member of the legislative caucus compromises the oversight role of the legislature.

Since 2013, the tailings have been granted to three different entities through two different companies: Madam Clavena Parker, a Liberian; Mr. Sam Jonah from Ghana; and Madam Angela Lace from Ghana, through two different companies.

It has been twenty-two years since licenses were issued, and the tailings still sit there while the country and county wait to benefit. The companies that held the licenses have paid only small amounts of money to county authorities, but no substantial operations have occurred.

The County took the last company, Notre Dame, to court for noncompliance in Buchanan. A local judge ruled against Notre Dame. Notre Dame appealed to the higher court in Monrovia, which requested the Ministry of Lands and Mines to engage in administrative discussions to find solutions. The ministry also decided to cancel for noncompliance, and Notre Dame has forwarded the case to the Supreme Court.

While I support the cancellation for noncompliance, we must respect the Rule of Law, so we await the Supreme Court’s action.

Until the case is resolved, the Lands and Mines Ministry and the County cannot take action on the tailings.

Present situation:

The case was in court when the Minister of Internal Affairs, the acting superintendent at the time, and the caucus chair signed an agreement with a company to mine the tailings, knowing that the company lacked a license to do so.

They asked the company to deposit USD 500,000 into the County’s account after signing the agreement, and the company did so. When news of the payment circulated, county residents questioned the action, generating public debate.

I publicly stated at the induction of the superintendent that county legislators do not have authority to award mining licenses or negotiate executive contracts, even locally. Such actions compromise our oversight role, and a caucus member signing an executive contract is improper.

Present situation:

The company that signed the deal with the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Grand Bassa Legislative Caucus chair has since realized that it cannot begin operations because it does not have a license.

They held a press conference urging county authorities to grant the license, arguing that the USD 500,000 payment should be recognized, and they have threatened to sue the County for USD 4.5 million.

In response, the Ministry of Lands, Mines, and Energy issued a statement indicating that the tailings issue remains before the court and that no decision can be made until the court rules. The press conference also claimed that the transaction with the Steelfort company that paid USD 500,000 is criminal.

While awaiting the court’s decision, we advocate that the company that has held a license for over 15 years and has operated should have its license canceled for noncompliance. They have failed to deliver on the agreement.

I have also suggested to the President of Liberia that all mining licenses issued over a certain period should be reviewed and canceled for noncompliance.

Companies cannot acquire legal licenses and wait for years only to flip the licenses for their own benefit, while the country’s economy could grow from timely mining operations. This approach stalls growth and development.

Suggestions for the County tailings:

The Ministry of Lands, Mines, and Energy should initiate a new process immediately after the court ruling.

A roadmap for awarding a license for the tailings must be agreed upon by the minister, the county government, and reviewed by the county legislative caucus after consultation with citizens.

The roadmap should include proper vetting, due diligence, and a plan that ensures the country and county benefit from the tailings, including deposits to demonstrate the company’s capacity to deliver.

A timeline for starting tailings mining must be agreed upon, with violations leading to license cancellation with no obligation to the country or county.
Such a roadmap will attract credible companies capable of delivering.

Finally, signing an agreement with a company without a valid legal document is fraudulent and must be investigated. Information should also be provided to the county regarding the status of the USD 500,000.

Law & Politics: Note to the Public
By Cllr. Tiawan Saye Gongloe

Topic: The CDC Eviction and the Law on Writs of Possession

Many have asked about the legality of the recent eviction involving the CDC. Let me explain in plain terms:

A writ of possession is only meant to put the rightful landowner back in possession of his/her property.

Court officers can remove people and their belongings, even break doors if necessary.
But they cannot destroy houses or buildings.
Once judgment is given, all structures belong to the new owner. It is the owner not the court or the police who decides whether to keep or demolish them.

So the main question is: who brought in the yellow machines that tore down the buildings?
a. If it was the owner lawful.
b. If it was the court officers or police unlawful, because they went beyond their legal
authority.

Ex*****on of judgment is about repossession, not destruction.
Q & A
Q1: What is a writ of possession?
A. It’s the court order that returns land to the rightful owner.

Q2: Can court officers destroy houses during eviction?
A. No. They only remove people and belongings.

Q3: Who decides what happens to buildings on the land?
A. Only the lawful owner.

Q4: Any precedent in Liberia?
A. Yes. In the Togba Estate v. Goodridge case, the Estate got back the land, but the house still
stands—because only the Estate had the right to decide.

Q5: What about the CDC eviction?
A. The issue is whether the yellow machines were hired by the owner (lawful) or by
officers/police (unlawful).

Law vs. Politics
This is not a political issue. Ex*****on of judgments is a legal matter, guided by our Civil
Procedure Law and precedents.

Conclusion
The CDC eviction teaches us a simple but powerful lesson:

Ex*****on of judgment must follow the law—nothing more, nothing less.
