A dissenting group has given Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) 72 hours to withdraw from any political engagement with Liberty Party (LP) in spite of the warning to partisans contained in the November 21, 2010 merger/consolidation resolution of the party.
The group, which called itself "The Majority Bloc of CDC Grassroots Partisans, Stalwarts, and Sympathizers", has called on the CDC National Executive Committee (NEC) to rescind the Sunday resolution and "return to status quo".
"Supreme Court Writ of Prohibition inevitable after three days should you ignore this mass-signed partisans' petition to reverse this disastrous course," the group admonished the party's leadership.

We Support T. Q. Harris for the Liberian Presidency
Fellow Liberians and Friends of Liberia:
Liberia is mired in a plethora of problems resulting from 14 years of self-demolition, devastation, and the senseless destruction of lives. Corruption is endemic, thus inhibiting progress in every segment of the society. Also, the alarming illiteracy rate, unimaginable poverty, sky rocketing inflation and unsustainable unemployment, coupled with deteriorating economic conditions and poor social services have made it impossible to determine who is ethical and who not.
However, this cannot be denied: Liberia is at a standstill awaiting a true nationalistic leader. I believe we have found him!

ICC is 'Keeping an Eye on Events'
The International Criminal Court has issued a warning to Guinean security forces on the ground on Friday and has called for calm. The Deputy Prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, released a statement saying the ICC is keeping 'a close eye on the situation.' Some critics are now condemning the International Criminal Court for not giving credence to what took place in Liberia when:
• More than 40 people were killed in riots following a proposed increase in the price of rice in 1979.
• More than 13 people were killed in 1980 during a military take-over.
• About 500 or more people were killed and more than 50 people raped in 1985 during a coup attempt.
• An estimated 300,000 Liberians were killed, and thousands of people violated during Liberia’s civil war which lasted from 1989 – 2003. Five Americans were killed during this same period.
Critics are starting to question the ICC role when it comes to crimes committed in Liberia. Up to now the International Criminal court has yet to address any of the above incidents that took place in Liberia. The above incidents that took place in Liberia are equivalent to genocide. But the ICC is now keeping a close eye on current situation in Guinea. Whereas, the Guinean situation which should not be negated, but if compare to what took place in Liberia, would be like a drop of sand in the middle of a mighty ocean. - Bernard G.
