When all the hallubaloo was going on in Liberia reference the generalized anarchy of violence that paralyzed all socioeconomic and political institutions in Liberia, I was in the United States of America writing and criticizing the situation in the country. I was so audible, people began to challenge me to come on the ground in Liberia, if I meant what I was saying.
I took the challenge and returned to Liberia. In 2008, I appeared on the stand at the TRC to offer issues and reconciliation.
So far, as far as I know, my Presentation is only one that was posted and then deleted on the TRC website.
Why? Just follow me and you'll find out.
After presenting what I still believe was and is the problem in Liberia provoking generalized anarchy of violence, I made the following recommendations:
1. The USA must pay reparation in the tone of US$21.7 billion dollars to Liberia for her role in provoking war in Liberia. For example, the US released Charles Taylor from her maximum prison in Boston, Massachusetts into Liberia to launch a military offensive. Also, US helped to split Taylor and Prince Johnson. And this prolonged the war and caused tens and tens of hundreds of innocent Liberian men, women and children to lose their lives while others fled to camp of refuge around the world to find food in desolate places. Not only that, the US sponsored the castration, bludgeoning and subsequent murder of Samuel Kanyon Doe, a sitting president of this great Republic. There's more!
2. Sierra Leone must pay US$30 million dollars for opening a corridor for rebels to illegally and unlawfully enter Liberia thereby provoking war and terror responsible for the deaths of over ten thousand innocent Liberian men, women and children and the subsequent overthrow of a democratically and constitutionally elected government.
3. Libya must pay US$10 billion dollars in reparation for training and supporting rebels and insurgency in Liberia responsible for the deaths of tens and tens of thousands of innocent Liberian men, women and children.
4. England must pay US$27.5 billion dollars in reparation for supporting war and terror in Liberia through rhetoric and personal support for insurgency in Liberia because they thought President Taylor interfered with their Diamond deal from the Congo thru Sierra Leone.
5. Burkina Faso must pay reparation to Liberia in the tone of US$10 million for harboring rebels to enter Liberia to remove legitimate government causing the deaths of thousands and thousands of innocent Liberian men, women and children
6. Ivory Coast must pay reparation to Liberia in the tone of US$17 million dollars for opening a corridor thru which insurgents entered Liberia unhindered causing the deaths of thousands of poor and innocent Liberian people.
As for Liberians who were used as vehicles by America, England and other European countries to sustain and execute the war, terror and generalized anarchy of violence, for example, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Prince Johnson et al, must be compelled to construct vocational schools, 21st Century state-of-the-art recreational centers and ball parks for young people in the 15 counties each. Secondly, they must be barred from participation in politics and governance in the country for ten unbroken years each.
When I submitted this Recommendation, suddenly, fear gripped most Liberians in the US who felt at first, I was afraid to come to Liberia and criticize on the ground. Some began to ask me to be nice on the US. Because the US could go after my life. Interestingly, my Presentation was never seen again. Up to the moment we speak and opine, my Presentation at TRC is only in my possession and nowhere else.
In conclusion, it has been my sole belief that the TRC recommendation and Report will only remain a memory! It is dead! Unless...
I am T. Gbuo-Mle Bedell, volunteer worker, victim of police brutality and Liberian government political persecution, speaking and working on the ground pro bono in Liberia.
