The Liberian Mandingoes…..What can they
show for their long docility
By: Aleo Donzo
07 May, 2012
 For
the most part of the history of Liberian Mandingoes, it
is a providence to follow leaders and powers that be
without any objections or disagreement with the policies
or style of governance. Growing up back in Ganta in the
1970s up until the 1985 abortive military coup, the
mantra of the Liberian people was that “we have gotten
rid of your father” and so you are going to be removed
from Liberia. Well, you may be surprised that when the
late President William R. Tolbert was assassinated and
overthrown in 1980, that some of our compatriots
referred to President Tolbert as the “father” of the
Mandingoes.
