Last year, Liberia shone as the remarkable country it is when President George Weah followed in his predecessor’s footsteps and peacefully handed power to current President Joseph Boakai. Indeed, Liberia is a story of pain, beauty, and the reminder that a nation can rise above its past. This is why we are so excited to have Mr. Aaron Weah’s interview today as he speaks on Liberia’s long history, how far the nation has come and what it has always stood for at it’s core. Mr. Weah speaks of his beginnings in Transitional Justice, a novel idea then, which have led him and his beloved country to this post-conflict point where healing and rebuilding are a pursuit so many brave Liberians are seeking. Much like many African nations, the Liberian national purpose, although rooted in freedom and redemption, has been buried under the conflict the country has undergone. Memorialisation remains the line of defense for the country’s initial and true intended purpose. In the aftermath of the conflict, we stand now as different nations but history reminds us that this freedom was fought for in the bonds of unity.
