President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the out-going 80-year President of the country has served in every government since 1972 when President William. R. Tolbert.Jr appointed her an Assistant Minister. Since then, it has been one long story of a political leader that cannot be pinned down to principles.

In 1980 a Master Sergeant, Samuel Kanyon Doe staged a bloody coup in which President Tolbert was killed and some of his supporters, executed. But Sirleaf had no qualms serving as the Finance Minister in the Doe dictatorship. When she fell out with Doe, Sirleaf teamed up with rebels led by Charles Taylor to found the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPF) and began an insurgency and Liberia’s first Civil War. She raised funds for the rebels.

No-one misses this woman who claims her German heritage more than her African heritage. She can go back Germany or go back to the U.S.

MONROVIA (Reuters) - Liberia’s ruling Unity Party has expelled the country’s outgoing president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who is accused by party leaders of meddling in last year’s presidential elections in which its candidate suffered a bruising defeat.

... Four other party officials were also expelled, the party said in a statement distributed on Sunday.

“The behaviour of the expelled persons ... constitutes sabotage and undermined the existence of the party,” said the statement announcing the decision, which was taken by the party’s executive committee late on Saturday.

A senior official in Johnson Sirleaf’s office declined to comment on the decision. The president and other officials were not immediately available on Sunday.

Former soccer star George Weah defeated the Unity Party’s Joseph Boakai in a landslide, marking the first democratic transition of power in Liberia - a nation founded by freed American slaves - in over 70 years.

Johnson Sirleaf was not allowed to run for re-election due to constitutional term limits. A split between her and Boakai burst into the open during the campaign. [L8N1N562G]

The statement said Johnson Sirleaf and the other members had violated rules, including a requirement to support all Unity Party candidates in elections.

.....Her administration has also faced repeated allegations of corruption and nepotism. She denies the accusations, but they resonated with many of the voters who rallied to Weah’s call for change.
