hate and bigotry and therefore embracing of the values
of tribal and religious diversity. But whenever a
Mandingo person is appointed to a key position in
Liberia, tribal hatred and bigotry have always raised
their ugly heads.

Culture Our The reverse?
By: Saliho A. Donzo

political philosophers, notably the French philosopher
Montesquieu and Jean Jacques Rousseau, and the American
statesmen Thomas Jefferson and James Madison played
pivotal/key role in the fight to establish modern
