Liberia: Between Ebola And The Tyranny Of Sirleaf by SHOPPERS(m): 3:31am On Oct 25, 2014
In the current Ebola epidemic, Liberia happens to be the hardest
hit West African nation. The leader of the nation is a Harvard-
educated long-time member of the western corporate
establishment, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf who became president in
2005 after a Nigerian-led ECOWAS mission put an end to a spate
of civil wars.
The Sirleaf reign as president, as her stint in America’s big corp.
has been tainted with allegations of corruption and nepotism
and now with the Ebola epidemic. Her handling of the epidemic
in Liberia cannot be disconnected from her obligations as a
western puppet and her training in corruption. Perhaps it is not a
coincidence that Liberia is worst hit and that a colonial army has
urgently set foot in Sirleaf’s Liberia.
As soon as she assumed office, Sirleaf quickly signed 100 year,
binding deals with western governments depositing the nation’s
abundant resources in the hands of the colonialist, despite them
not playing a significant role in the stabilization of Liberia which
was achieved by an African indigenous Nigerian-led effort.
Last week the Liberian Senate debated and overwhelmingly
turned down a proposition by Sirleaf to restrict movement, "limit
the right to assembly for any reason", and peculiarly, to
appropriate property. Women Voices called it: "Tyrannical Times
or Ebola Preventive Measures." Some have discussed the spread
of Ebola in villages and farming communities more so than the
big cities and suggested that like the Boko Haram crises in
Nigeria’s northern farming communities and carbon credits
across Africa, that the Ebola crises which threatens to diminish
the population of locals by a least 55% is a weapon to possess
for big corp., viable farming land owned and “misused” by these
villagers for generations.
