Stand Up For Liberia...
The International Monetary Fund faced harsh criticism on Thursday for failing to meet its commitment to write off $800m in debt owed by Liberia, as Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the country's leader, met US president George W. Bush in Washington.
This broken promise of debt relief threatens the future of Liberia, a country struggling to make democracy work after a bloody civil war, and lift its people out of poverty. Send an to the International Monetary Fund today and tell them to keep their promise and forgive the debt.
The least IMF can do is to honor its promise to the Liberian people, who desperately need a boost. Post war Reconstruction, good governance, come on who needs debt relief more than the Liberian people.

Stand UP.
Thats so unfair! I saw a documentary about Liberia and its new president and how that debt thing was a big issue for them. I remember how she said the debts for their wars(which by the way was fuelled with the money) were being inherited by the people who had nothing to do with it. All that money they spent on ammunition and guns (meanwhile why was the international community still giving them more? that was also discussed), and now the innocent should suffer? They should go and eat shit jare! Liberia has a population of only 3 million, how the hell is it possible for them to have debt like that?
True that Waff..
I read about this on Waffarian's blog. As I mentioned there, what are the odds that they will hold their promise?
