Writer Sees a Failed State and Regression in Liberia
Charles Kwalonue Sunwabe, Jr., writing in the Liberia Observer: It is tragic, sad and disappointing to see Liberia, descend so quickly into a state of "perpetual regression" barely a year after its villainous former President, Charles McArthur Taylor, departed in disgrace. Back in August of 2003, Liberians overwhelmingly greeted the departure of disgraced former President Charles McArthur Taylor with jubilation - some even naively began to say that his forced departure from the country that he had wrecked indeed signaled a new beginning.
"But," the writer added, "as the situation in post-Taylor's Liberia indicates, little has changed as it is "business as usual" with endemic corruption, rancor, governmental and bureaucratic inefficiencies, deceit, lies and despicable irresponsibility prevalent everywhere."
