ECOMOG-Liberia
ECOMOG / UNOMIL LIBERIA
ECOMOG-Liberia
Liberia is the oldest independent nation in West Africa, founded in 1822 for freed slaves from the Americas and given independence in 1847. But until 1980 when 28- year old Master- Sergeant Samuel Kanyon Doe overthrew Africa's oldest constitution in a military coup, economic, political and military power in the country was dominated by the America-Liberians, the freed slaves who constitute only 4 percent of the country's population. After flawed elections and an abortive coup attempt in 1985, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) led by Charles Taylor launched a rebellion from the bush in 1989. Lieutenant Prince Yormie Johnson broke away from the NPFL and formed the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia (INPFL). Other armed groups sprang up.
A full- scale war broke out. Tens of thousands were displaced. The internally displaced population numbered about 700,000. Some 727,000 civilians also poured into neighbouring countries in search of peace and shelter. And in early August 1990, ECOWAS mini-summit was held in the Gambian capital of Banjul, from which was created a 4,000-strong ECOWAS Monitoring Group, ECOMOG.

The force, drawn from Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and the Gambia, was mandated to maintain law and peace, protect life and property, maintain essential services, provide security for the interim administration, observe elections and conduct normal police duties. The force, which became operative in late August 1990, was initially under the command of Ghana's Lt. General Arnold Quainoo, the Buffalo Soldier. He held the position for a brief period, less than a month. The Ghanaian commander was replaced by a Nigerian after President Doe was arrested at ECOMOG Headquarters by Prince Johnson INPFL and gruesomely murdered. The supporters of the assassinated president later organized their activities under the canopy known as the United Liberation Movement of democracy, ULIMO.

The ECOMOG force grew in number and commitment as the years rolled by. By the time it ended its operation in Liberia in January 1999, ECOMOG had committed some 40,000 troops, the bulk of whom came from Nigeria. Ghana's contribution was 11,429, representing more than one-quarter of the total troops development. Some 36 Ghanaian soldiers lost their lives in the Liberian operation.

ECOMOG carried war-mutilated Liberia to a relatively peaceful democratic election. It is difficult to imagine what Liberia would look like today if ECOMOG had not been invented. While the feuding factions in Liberia were put under the security guard of ECOMOG, West African leaders criss-crossed the sub-region looking for an answer to the Liberian puzzle. From Accra through Lome and Cotonou to Abuja and to Bamako, Liberia dominated the politics of the region. Ghana effectively participated in this shuttle diplomacy. Ghana's Foreign Minister, Mr. James Victor Gbeho, was named Special Representative of the Chairman of ECOWAS to Liberia between 1995 and 1996.

ECOMOG was the lodestar for regional peacekeeping initiatives in Africa. On 22 September 1993 the Security Council adopted a resolution establishing the United Nations Observer Mission in Liberia, UNOMIL. It had the initial task of co-operating with ECOMOG in implementation of the Cotonou Peace Accord, which called for a ceasefire, demobilization and holding of elections.

UNOMIL was the first UN peacekeeping mission undertaken in cooperation with a peacekeeping operation already set up by another organisation. UNOMIL worked closely and symbiotically with ECOMOG to bring Liberia to a state of near normalcy, dividing their labours in development, security, support services and humanitarian administration.

For Ghana, ECOMOG provided the opportunity to test the potency of using an African peacekeeping force to an African problem. And the result has become a classroom for all to learn from. In ECOMOG, Ghanaian troops undertook daring operations- disarming, rescuing, escorting and distributing humanitarian supplies. Unlike some countries contingents in ECOMOG, the Ghanaian contingent never used arms to resolve an impasse. Towards the end of January 1999, Ghanabatt 15, less one company, was redeployed to Sierra Leone, despite Ghana's protests against the alleged involvement of Liberia in the Sierra Leonean conflict. One Ghanaian battalion remains in the country, as part of the UN Mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL).

Certainly, when the histories of Liberia and Sierra Leone come to be written, ECOMOG will feature prominently. And Ghanaian soldiers will take a front seat to tell the tale of a country disabled by a civil war that claimed 150,000 lives and led to a complete breakdown of law and order, exported its war to neighbouring Sierra

Ghanaian soldiers get UN peacekeeping medals in Liberia
Page last updated at Friday, June 14, 2013 7:07 AM // Leave Your Comment
Karin Landgren, Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) of the United Nations, has awarded Peacekeeping Medals to more than 700 Ghanaian peacekeepers for their outstanding service as part of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL).

“Since deploying its first troops to UNMIL in 2003, Ghana has remained a strong, reliable and dedicated partner in Liberia’s peace, stability and development,” the UN envoy said at a ceremony in Liberia’s frontier city of Ganta, to honour the Ghanaian soldiers for their dedicated service.

A statement signed by Cynthia Prah, National Information Officer of the United Nations Information Centre in Accra and copied to the Ghana News Agency, on Thursday, said in addition to providing a large number of troops to UNMIL, Ghana has also made available highly qualified military and police officers, who have served the Mission in senior positions, including deputy force commanders, chiefs of staff forces and a police commissioner.

The Ghanaian peacekeepers, had for the past five months been serving in various locations in Lofa, Bong and Nimba counties.

Ms Landgren praised them for pursuing and upholding the noble values and traditions of peacekeeping.

She commended the joint patrols and operations the Ghanaian soldiers had undertaken with their Liberian counterparts to remote and inaccessible parts of the country, especially along the borders with Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea and Sierra Leone to monitor cross-border activities and reassure the local population of their safety.

“You and your national partners have played an essential role in protecting civilians along the fragile border with Côte d’Ivoire through Operation MAYO, which brings you together with the United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire forces and Ivorian officials for information sharing and joint patrols,” the SRSG told the Ghanaian peacekeepers.

Ms Landgren, who is also the Coordinator of UN Operations in Liberia, noted that in a few months Liberia and UNMIL would celebrate a decade of peace; at the same time.

She said: “There is still more to be done in support of Liberia’s peace, security and development.”

“Liberia’s security remains UNMIL’s top priority as we progress with the gradual and carefully planned transition of our security responsibilities to the Liberian authorities,” she added.

Apparently you don't even know about the Liberian war. I have friends that survive that war. They tell me story about the war and horrendous things that Nigerian soldiers did. If you knew about the war you would know that war ended when America troops arrived when George bush asked Charles Taylor to live. Smh like a typical Nigerian always glory chasing.

During the war where did most Liberians seek refuge not Nigeria. In fact anytime something bad occurs in any african country Ghana is the country where they seek refuge.

The restoration of democracy and subsequent economic reforms have successfully put Nigeria back on track towards achieving its full economic potential. It is now the second largest economy in Africa (following South Africa), and the largest economy in the West Africa Region.''

Even more, you should be like a Kuwait or Saudi Arabia based on your tiny population and huge resources. But sadly your country is actually a disgrace. With your tiny 20 million population - less than Lagos, you are the world's largest exporter of cocoa, Africa's second biggest gold exporter after South Africa, a major exporter of manganese and iron ore, and now an oil and gas producer. Yet less than half your population is connected to the national electricity grid, with poverty rife throughout the country. Your villages are as backward and neglected as ever. The north of your country is like Somalia. What happened to all the money? The problem with your country is that people like you prefer to propagate the 'Ghana is an angelic country' myth, in order to feel good about yourselves, rather than ask hard questions of your leaders, and what they really do with all the money you make. Stay there comparing yourselves to Nigeria. By the ''criteria'' you listed, you are even more advanced than India, Brazil and most developing states with huge populations. I'm sure India has more bad roads, bad schools and more unelectrified homes and illiterates than Ghana.... But we know where India stands in relation to Ghana, ie more advanced than you. Nigeria is the same. More advanced than you even if you have a more 'satisfied' tiny population. We all know that you should be doing a LOT better considering your tiny population and massive resources. That's what should be concentrating your mind.
72% of Ghanaians are connected to the national grid compare to the national grid and by 2020 100% will be connected. While in Nigeria it is 45% and they plan to get 75% of the pop connected.

Theben: Ever heard the word analogy? Nigeria is to Ghana as Germany is to Austria. Nigeria is bigger than Ghana in all ramifications. We are only rivals in football and that is where it ends. The only two African country that is near Nigeria in terms development are Egypt and South Africa.

Take away Accra from Ghana, and Ghana will be a local village without civilisation. The Economy of Lagos state is larger than the economy of the entire Ghana. Mind you, lagos does not depend on oil wealth to sustain itself.

Nollywood is larger than every movie industry in Africa. 3rd largest in the world, behind hollywood and bollywood. Nigeria is ranked as the best investment destination in the entire Africa.

I dare say that Ghana will never survive should they be plagued by terrorists. Despite attacks from boko haram insurgents in the north eastern part of Naija, our economy still maintain the same growth rate.

Abeg, it is an abomination to compare Naija with Ghana. Just make further attempt to compare and I'll expose Ghana the more. Trust me
Nigeria is bigger than Ghana in only pop and land mass apart from that there is no competition. Ghana has lower crime, lower maternal mortality rate,better education system, better electrification, better access to water, better road network, safer, easy to be business, better organized, less corruption, higher life expectancy, and above all higher HDI. These are the things we judge a country on. While Nigeria GDP is bigger than Ghana's, we have higher per capital and our gini is very low. Ghana's economy is diverse while yours is oil base.

In terms of movies, come on you can't be serious. Anyone can shoot movies with a cell phone camera. Which is what Nigerians are doing. Shoot so much movies with low quality, bad sound and illiterate actress and actors. We are talking about quality and yes Nigeria took over USA in movies because y'all produce so much with no direction.

Nigeria si nowhere as developed as South Africa or Egypt. Nigeria is one of the least developed countries in west Africa.

Comparing Nigeria with Ghana is like comparing Germany with Austria or Leischetein, Australia with Newzealand, South Africa with Lesotho/Botswana, USA with Mexico.

While the smaller countries admit to the superiority of their bigger neighbours and gain from them economically, Ghanaians arrogance and pride won't allow them to acknowledge the superiority/contribution of big brother to the growth of their economy.

texaco1: and can't u see how people treat people that bleach in nigeria? And u can see that people that bleach even feel ashamed after because they are ridiculed every day. But in ghana the way ur men stoop low to kiss white men asses is totally disgraceful,and I always told them that in nigeria ,Nigerians don't respect white men and women the way they do. Go to osu and dankwa circle and. U will see what I am talking about ,I lived in ghana before for 4years so I know the way and manner which they think. The few people that always hold their head high and have sense of diginty in their color are the few educated people among the youth and older class. This is one of the reasons that gave chinesse men the guts to be chasing ghanians from their land with guns and even shooting ghanians despite the fact that they the chinese are doing illegal mining and destroying farmlands.
The Chinese and the Lebanese do worst to Nigerians. Nigerians kiss white azzes more so than anyone. If y'all shamed bleachers then bleaching wouldn't be a problem and more girls wouldn't be bleaching.

safarigirl: what I meant by 'talking' is 'talking football'. Goodluck doesn't prepare New Year messages to tell us how the SE will surprise the world at Brazil. Is Mahama scared? Is that why he keeps 'assuring' you guys that all will be well? If y'all are all that, you won't need to be told repeatedly, btw, GEJ hasn't been talking about letters, he only addressed it once.
In Ghana we breath and eat anything blackstars. We love that team to death. Too bad Goodluck doesn't feel the same about the super eagles then again how can he? After all super eagles haven't proven anything in the past World Cup.

nadesh: Date was 31st december,2013.

I have traveled widely,within and out of Africa but Nothing comes close to the humiliation,discrimination and outright racism I got from the manager of stumble inn,Elmina Cape Coast on 31st december of 2013. As color obviously mattered to them, then I have to state that I am an African female,gainfully employed and a freelance writer. I felt I needed a little break from the Lagos stress and sought for a small getaway in the neighboring country, Ghana. I searched online for affordable guest houses and picked stumble inn because of the proximity to the beach,positive reviews I saw on tripadvisor and the peaceful appearance. I made an online reservation for a five days stay and got a confirmation email from Issac,who i suppose to be the manager. I went as far as calling him from Lagos with +233541462733 which is the offical number of the Inn as posted on their website and everything was cool and sorted. I arrived Ghana,continued to Cape coast and rang him again from cape coast and he confirmed once again that my reservation was intact. I got to the inn around 8:45pm(the connecting bridge was bad,taxi had to make a detour and took a longer route) and the entrance was quite dark so I rang Issac again. He said he was busy at the bar but sent some boy,not more than fifteen to come fetch me. The boy took me to the bar/reception and that was IT- isaac(or whoever the receptionist was) saw that I was NOT white and he disappeared by the back door. I was left standing all by myself just outside the bar. The Little boy who fetched me from the entrance totally ignored me and kept busy serving the clients already seated by the bar. I beckoned on the boy uncountable times,but he snubbed me totally.

I stood outside and kept ringing Issac but he kept rejecting my calls. Time was 9;30pm and having stood for close to thirty minutes,I knew I was not welcomed and the earlier I leave,the better for me. I am human and could not stop the tears. Rejected in a hotel few hours to midnight and into a new year because I am BLACK? ! No taxi in sight,the road was dark and scary but I managed to get myself together and got to ELMINA BAY RESORT,the nearest guest house. It was fully booked and way pricey more than my budget but the kind and nice folks at the reception rang a taxi for me.

Needless to recount my travails last night. The bridge house,mighty victory and other hotels were fully booked. I had to charter a taxi to go back to Accra by 10:15pm and infact typed this in the cab. I ended up stranded in the middle of nowhere at night just because I am a black lady! I was snubbed,ignored and treated by stumble inn managers like a sub-human, even worst than an animal.

Is this right,justified? Segregation and racism in an African soil?

Bullshit, anything to rubbish Ghana. That's why I can't take y'all Nigerians seriously. First you did not prove that you were disregarded because you were black. Could be that the manager was busy and couldn't attend to you, hence the reason he was at the bar instead of the reception desk.

I am going to make one simple statement to prove that you are liar, paranoid and you already had perceive stereotype about Ghanaians before you step a foot in that hostel.

Do you have an American accent or English accent, if you do not then trust me the manager knew that you were Nigerian and he didn't need to see your face to realize that you weren't white. Stop the bs and lies about Ghana.

Is sad that your stupid brethren did not take their time to question your statements before they started insulting Ghanaians.

amiskurie: that's the problem with ghanaians,they won't cease to be slaves to the whites.
inferiority complex of the highest order.

@op akwaaba. cheesy cheesy grin
Not more so than Nigerians. Nigerians worship everything white. Why do you think your girls are all breaching. Inferiority complex is in all Nigerians.

safarigirl: Why is their President always talking? So the man no get wetin e go do, na only football matter dey. No need to tell us, June is just 5 months away, na that time we go know who be who
He doesn't talk more than Goodluck for the past months all we have had to hear him bitch about obasanjo and other crap. Like our president and 100% of Ghanaians we know we have the best team in Africa and we aren't scared of any team.
