$520 Million Pledged for Rebuilding Liberia

Editor's Comment: It took 23 years (1980 - 2003) for the Liberian Crisis to make it to the top of the UN & US priority list. Let's not blow this one chance to achieve long lasting peace, not only for this generation, but for all future generations of Liberians. Let's do it right and correct the system that allowed 17 men, and a handful of others, to destabilized an entire nation and brought 3.3 million people to war.

The assisination of our President should not cause our governmental structure, our nation, and our people to be derailed and destoryed.

Powell Makes Impassioned Plea for Liberia Funding

Powell said that as a career military man, he was particularly touched by stories of Liberian children being recruited into war, drugged, beaten and made into sexual slaves for other fighters.

"These boys and girls have known more horrors in their young lives than anyone, let alone a child, ever should have to endure," he told the gathering.

"We must help these children. If we help these deeply traumatized children to live in hope, then there is also hope for all of Liberia. Indeed we must bring fresh faith in the future to a country that for too long has lived in hopelessness,"
