Before the war, Liberia was West Africa's center of commerce and transportation, and attracted industries like petroleum, paint, pharmaceuticals and cement. Many impressive buildings were built, along with the old University of Liberia (opened in 1862, university status in 1951), and a secondary school system, hospitals etc. However, the infrastructure has been largely destroyed by the fighting in recent years. The Snap shake is a typical Liberian handshake. The Firestone Plantation is the world’s largest one. Liberia is the first ever republic of Africa and has never been colonized. Liberia has much to offer, including friendly people, lush landscapes and some of the last remaining virgin rainforest in West Africa.

UN Boss Reports On Liberia Calls for
Non-Violent Engagement
By Jerome Dalieh
News (Monrovia)
November 4, 2002
United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan says he does not believe that a sustainable solution to Liberia's multiple challenges can be found through military means. Mr. Annan has therefore urged the United Nations (UN) Security Council to remain engaged with the Liberian Government and its people. The UN Security General made these observation recently in his report to the Security Council regarding the crisis in Liberia. In his report, Mr. Annan also observed that "peace in Liberia is vital not only for efforts to put an end to the suffering of the Liberian people, but also to help consolidate the important gains made in Sierra Leone within the wider framework of promoting sustainable peace and security in the subregion." Mr. Annan then told the security Council that he regards as encouraging recent indication by the Government that it is prepared to engage in dialogue with the dissident Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD), as long as that group agrees to stop fighting. The LURD had been engaged in military warfare to unseat the Liberian Government since 1999. In addition to the rebel war, a UN Security Council's sanction regime remains imposed on the Liberian Government on suspicion that the Government had been a principal source of support to the defunct RUF rebels in Sierra Leone. Although the Liberian Government had persistently denied the allegations, international travel restrictions were placed on all senior Government officials, including their associates, and a ban on diamond exports.

Iraq: WFP faces ''largest humanitarian operation in history'' AMMAN, 8 April (IRIN) - With the arrival in northern Iraq last week of the first major convoy of World Food Programme (WFP) food aid from Turkey, there began what promises to be the largest emergency operation ever undertaken by the UN agency. "A further 55 trucks loaded with wheat flour are on the road to [the northern city of] Dohuk and will travel to [the city of] Erbil under armed escort tomorrow," Heather Hill, a WFP spokesperson, told IRIN on Tuesday.

Says UN Secretary-General's Report:
-Wants "Truly National Reconciliation conference"
-Falls short of calling for the lifting of sanctions
The Secretary-General of the United Nations Dr. Kofi Annan, has indicated in his maiden report to the United Nations Security Council pursuant to UNSCR 1408 (2002) that Liberia has significantly complied with almost all United Nations Security Council demands as contained in Paragraph 2 (a) to (d) of Resolution 1343 (2001). The report which relied almost exclusively on inputs from ECOWAS, UNAMSIL and UNOL, however, fell shot of calling for the lifting of sanctions imposed on Liberia since April 2001. In the report released May 6, 2002 Dr. Annan said the review of the report received from ECOWS, UNAMSIL (UN Military Mission in Sierra Leone) and the United Nations office in Liberia (UNOL), indicated that there was no proof that Liberia was involved with the destabilization of neighboring Sierra Leone or any other country in the region. Even though the reporting organizations acknowledged that they lack "the appropriate capacity to provide independent confirmation of the claims by the government of Liberia regarding its compliance with the demands "they were unanimous that there were reversible peace gains in Sierra Leone.

Thousands fled Liberia for the US during civil conflict
By Jonathan Paye-Lahley in Monrovia The Liberian government has deployed police across the country to arrest any one found selling or buying photographs of Osama Bin Laden. He is the prime suspect named by the US for the terror attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Police Director Paul Mulbah said anyone now involved with the photos would be treated as "terrorists". Bin Laden has denied any responsibility.
Arrest for Liberians selling or buying Bin Laden posters
The weekend directive followed a brisk trade by newspaper vendors and street sellers in the capital of pirated and copied photographs of Saudi dissident Bin Laden. The Police Director said although people buying the pirated photographs of Bin Laden were doing so "out of mere curiosity", it could give a negative interpretation of the situation. Thousands fled He said if the sales were left to go on unchecked, it would appear as if Liberians were happy with the Saudi-born "terrorist."

GOVERNMENT AND POLITICAL CONDITIONS
Doe's government increasingly adopted an ethnic outlook as members of his Krahn ethnic group soon dominated political and military life in Liberia. This caused a heightened level of ethnic tension leading to frequent hostilities between the politically and militarily dominant Krahns and other ethnic groups in the country.
Political parties remained banned until 1984. Elections were held on October 15, 1985 in which Doe's National Democratic Party of Liberia (NDPL) was declared winner. The elections were characterized by widespread fraud and rigging. The period after the elections saw increased human rights abuses, corruption, and ethnic tensions. The standard of living, which had been rising in the 1970s, declined drastically. On November 12, 1985, former Army Commanding General Thomas Quiwonkpa invaded Liberia by way of neighboring Sierra Leone and almost succeeded in toppling the government of Samuel Doe. Members of the Krahn-dominated Armed Forces of Liberia repelled Quiwonkpa's attack and executed him in Monrovia.
On December 24, 1989, a small band of rebels led by Doe's former procurement chief, Charles Taylor invaded Liberia from the Ivory Coast. Taylor and his National Patriotic Front rebels rapidly gained the support of Liberians because of the repressive nature of Samuel Doe and his government. Barely 6 months after the rebels first attacked, they had reached the outskirts of Monrovia.
