Ladies
and Gentlemen of Minnesota Mandingo Association, I greet
you with peace, love, and unity restored in our
community. Couple of days ago, I wrote an article
recommending some possible changes in the current
leadership due to what I termed ‘incompetent leadership
skill’ on the part of the President. That article did
not go down well with the President and his officials
even though it was a mare recommendation for change in
our community. The administration responded to my
article with three articles written from the President’s
camp.
THE
HAGUE (AFP) - Laurent Gbagbo, Ivory Coast's former
leader, was flown into the Netherlands Wednesday to be
handed over to the International Criminal Court for
trial over post-election violence that cost 3,000 lives.
A plane carrying the former president landed at
Rotterdam airport a little before 4:00 am (0300 GMT),
ANP reported.
Few
days ago, Mr. Abraham Turay, a one-time Vice President
of our dear Minnesota Mandingo Association who
unceremoniously deserted his post to seek greener
economic pastures in Liberia, made some careless and
disparaging remarks against our hardworking community
leaders, especially our illustrious President, Hon.
Mohamed Enzah Dorley. In his mindless tirade, Mr. Turay
accused President Dorley of, among other things, being
incompetent, and being popular only “in hair braiding
salons.
As
Election draws closer, Mandingo Nations website
President and Publisher, Kafumba Kromah has declared his
intention to run for President of Minnesota Mandingo
Association. He made the announcement today in
Minneapolis at the MMA General Meeting.
Minnesota
Mandingo Association (MMA) hosts presidential election
the end of a second year of current leadership. This has
been the norm since the foundation of the organization.
It is usually around the end of summer specifically
July. Around this time, the community is engaged in
election flavor of campaign and other fun things such as
soccer games and community parties. During this time,
everyone is asking to give out their shift at work only
to be part of those memorable functions. At this time,
we see people leave other states such as NY to attend
our election and other functions.

It
was in the days of 1969 when Col. Gaddafi seized power
in a bloodless military coup , He was a very charismatic
fellow, a leading political philosopher, developing
something called ‘the third universal theory, outline in
his Green Book, and the enforcer of democracy to some
extent. He established what he called ‘ Al-Jamahiriyya’
which in English donates ‘ Rule By the Masses’.
Representative-elect
of Montserrado District #2 Hon. Sekou S. Kanneh, is
calling on philanthropic individuals and organizations
in and out of Liberia to come to aid of some of his
constituents in the Peace Island community, whose five
bedrooms house got gutted by Fire on Monday night.While
Rep. Kanneh himself promised to help the fire victims,
he noted that the incident has caused his constituents
to return to scratch in life, for which the financial
and material assistances of humanitarians are
invaluable.
Campaigning
for Gambia's November 24 presidential polls kicked off
Saturday, after opposition party leaders called for
respect for the rule of law. Opposition parties have
complained that the 11-day campaign period is "grossly
inadequate" for the elections which incumbent President
Yahya Jammeh has confidently declared he will win.
Jammeh, an outspoken military officer and former
wrestler who took power in a bloodless coup in 1994 and
won elections two years later, is seeking a fourth term
in office.
I
was sitting with my brother and his wife few days ago.
After discussing our family matters, the issue of the
Liberian elections, CDC versus the UP, came up. My
brother is not a UP member but he strongly supports the
party. My brother and I have always been on the opposite
sides politically and that dates as far back as Doe's
time. The only time I can say my brother and I hold
similar view is about Charles Taylor. 
Liberia's Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf may, if re-elected,
offer government posts to rivals in a spirit of
reconciliation after a deadly crackdown on an opposition
protest, a spokesman said on Thursday. Newly-named Nobel
peace laureate Johnson-Sirleaf is tipped to win a second
term in the war-scarred West African country after rival
Winston Tubman dropped out of a November 8 run-off vote,
alleging fraud in an October first round won by the
incumbent.
After
a thorough search for a credible and deserving guest
speaker to grace the inauguration of newly elected
officials of the organization of New York Mandingo
Association, (ONYMA), we are pleased to announce that
Hon. Mamadee Bangali Sesay accepted to be the Guest
Speaker. The people of New York are glad and appreciate
the kind gesture from Mamadee Sesay. With his
acceptance, it is now certain that by Allah’s grace, we
will have a successful inaugural program.
Liberia
could tip into chaos not seen since its civil war if a
presidential run-off election set for Tuesday is not
delayed and reorganized, presidential hopeful Winston
Tubman said Sunday.Tubman, a former United Nations
diplomat, was meant to stand against incumbent Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf in the November 8 run-off but last week
withdrew his participation in the process and called for
a boycott, citing electoral fraud during the first round
of voting last month.
The
Fofana Family of Sanniquellie City, Nimba County,
Liberia, deeply regrets to announce the home going of
their father, brother son, and a loving husband, Mr.
Yonkar Mohamed Fofana. This sad event occurred on
October 31, 2011, in Conakry, Guinea, at his residence.
He died at age 34, and the cause of death was natural.
He is survived by his wife; five children-three boys and
two girls; his mother; and several brothers and sisters
here, in America, Europe, Liberia, and Guinea. He will
be greatly missed by his family and friends.
The
former chairman of Liberia’s National Elections
Commission (NEC) says he hopes his resignation will
encourage the opposition Congress for Democratic Change
(CDC) to participate in the November 8th runoff
election. James Fromayan resigned Sunday amid
accusations he was biased in favor of incumbent
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and after an NEC letter,
which he signed, stated the CDC received the highest
vote total instead of the ruling Unity Party. Fromayan
says the letter was the work of a “paid CDC agent”
within the elections commission. “I did sign the letter.
