On Monday, April 11, 2011, Bigtown (the oldest town and Headquarters of the Numoweh Chiefdom) traveled to Rocktown (the oldest town and Headquarters of the Kudemoweh Chiefdom) for the very first time in decades. The two towns have been in a conflict for a protracted period of time. Efforts by many national and international nongovernmental organizations to help reunify the two Chiefdoms are welcomed and exalted. But with the help of The KudeNumo Peace Initiative, Inc., we are proud to proclaim to the entire world that Bigtown and Rocktown – the two oldest towns and headquarters of both Chiefdoms and were in conflict with each other- have come together for peace and unity. Thus the visit of Bigtown to Rocktown.
The purpose of the visit of Bigtown to Rocktown is three-fold: 1st, to show solidarity and regrets and at the same time celebrate the unconditional release of seven youths of Rocktown arbitrarily arrested and arbitrarily detained on May 9, 2008 on charges of “murder” by the Government of the Republic of Liberia.
Second, Bigtown used the Event to begin talks with Rocktown to resolve their petty differences that have kept them and the rest of the Chiefdoms far apart for a protracted period of time.
Third, to ENGAGE the Peace effort by The KudeNumo Peace Initiative Foundation, Inc. in laying substantial grounds in reunifying the Grebo Peninsula. And to also complete arrangements for a Pre-Meeting of all Grebo People in Rocktown on April 29, 2011, in order to prep for the larger Grebo People’s Convention slated for Whole Graway (Blayjay) in June, 2011, where all disputes and relevant decisions will be derived to reunify the Grebo Peninsula.
On April 29 the Pre-Meeting of All Grebo People will begin in Rocktown and conclude on May 1, 2011. Series of decisions will be derived, particularly centered on the arbitrary arrest and arbitrary detention and extrajudicial punishment of the sons and daughter including Amb. H. Dan Morias, of both Chiefdoms now languishing in incommunicado in the filthy slums of the Maximum Prison of Monrovia. Other decisions will include the building a suitable political climate for the upcoming 2011 Parliamentary and Presidential election in Liberia.
Amb. Dew Mason will deliver the Keynote Address centered on the relevance of Peace and Human understanding in Liberia with direct concentration on the Grebo People issues.
All are invited to Rocktown.
