I read this good article about Liberian president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and how she is slowly steering her war-torn country back into civilized society. The odds seem insurmountable since the corruption in Liberia is so deep-seated and that men seem to have a violent sway over their women! But I am proud of what she is doing and I am rooting for her to succeed. It's not going to be easy and it's important that the international community always keeps a close eye on the country. Her tenacity and determination to make her projects succeed is very laudable! In the end, it is still her economic performance which will determine is she survives politically or not. But I wish her well. If she succeeds, it could be a good role model for other African countries to emulate.
