The Tears of the Innocent and the Bloodshed is a riveting true account of events that took place between 1989 and 2003, in several of Africa's most war-torn nations. Author Mohammed Jawara is all too familiar with the wars and conflicts that have afflicted the African continent in the past two decades, having experienced many of them firsthand. This book is the story of Mohammed and his family's flight across the continent; a journey that began in Charles Taylor's Liberia, where they were forced to flee from murderous government thugs who wanted to kill them. For a time Mohammed and his family found safe-haven in Sierra Leone. But eventually the war followed them there to, resulting in the author's brother having his arms chopped off and the family being forced to take flight again. This time they landed in Guinea, where they again found safety to be fleeting. In 2003 when the country's president Lassana Conte told his citizens to attack refugees who had brought the war to Guinea, Mohammed and his family were forced to flee again. Fortunately this time the UN stepped in and the family was able to find safe passage to Canada. About the Author: Mohammed Jawara was born and raised in Liberia and now lives in British Columbia. In addition to his career and his writing, he enjoys playing soccer, drawing, reading, and running. This book was inspired by his family's true struggles to escape from the violence and war that continues to blight many African nations. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/MohammedJawara

A creation story originating from Liberia.

God Speaks to Liberians at Home and Abroad is the Authors call to all Liberians to prioritize covenant faithfulness to God, the rebuilding of Liberia, reconciliation, forgiveness and good stewardship that can lead to total freedom for all Liberians. Liberians at home refers to politicians, civil servants, religious leaders, business people, farmers, community leaders, chiefs, elders, students, etc., who did not leave the country since the emergence of the bloody and senseless war created as the result of power greed. These persons experienced every bit of the war, for they had nowhere to run. Thousands were killed in cold blood at the hand of wicked men and women who claimed to be liberators. Other refuses to die outside their motherland and they cried, It is better for me to die in my own country than to die in next men country. Liberians Abroad refers to those Liberians who have left the country prior to the civil for the purpose of education, economic prosperity or greener pastures, but failed to help develop Liberia. Some of those Liberians say the worse things about homeland. The next group in this category are those Liberians who were forced to fl ee the country because of the war and found themselves in refugee camps around the world. These are the most hurt people in that they lost their homes, properties, love ones and freedom. It my prayer that as we read and reflect on the message of the Book of Haggai, you will take consolation in the word of God like the children of Israel, who lived in exile for seventy years. Finally, they returned home and began to rebuild their nation. As we sit by our rivers of Babylon, we should remember Liberia, our Zion, and Sweet Land of liberty.

The book presents a thorough study of the changing landscape of state-diaspora relations in Africa, as well as a robust analysis of diaspora engagement policies being pursued across the continent. As the Africa diaspora strengthens its socio-economic and political clout, countries of origin in Africa have sought to engage their citizens living abroad. Over the past decade, the role of diaspora in the homeland development has become a core tenet of national strategies and policies. Against the backdrop of expanding globalization and deepening regional integration, the book presents a thorough study of the changing landscape of state-diaspora relations in Africa, as well as a robust analysis of diaspora engagement policies being pursued across the continent as states seek to extend rights to and extract obligations from their global citizens.

Discusses the economy, geography, government, people, cultural life, and history of Liberia.

The use of discrimination is an appropriation by Liberians for what I consider a settled assumption in which they are classified as despisers and erudite learners. Can Liberians escape from their choice to discriminate? No and yes. Let me be clear from the outset that no answer to this question can ever be completely convincing. What I confer depend on the existential condition of really living and not worry about fruition. This belief is becoming defensive for Liberians to make a promise for destiny. Strenuously, this belief constellate the despisers to be gronam or yanam boys, market women, and do menial labors; and the erudite learners are bookish and professional. In other words, who is responsible for the boundary of Liberians without redemption according to what is available? I know a chorus of critics will be ready for me with objection. Since formidable confusion is arising to detect who is a descendant of Americans and Africans, this dualism is for identity despite the fact that they are on the West Coast of Africa. This book should be able to explore the culpable negligence of Liberians through discourse narratives that are merely an attempt to further the use of acquired education and natural capacity. There has been tension for unity to abandon the reproach—we are separated, not equal—the distinctiveness for discrimination.
