Monday, July 19, 2010Liberian Independence Day is July 26! by Susan PetersAs we approach Liberian Independence Day I feel especially hopeful. Not the kind of hope that a child has in anticipation of a holiday, but the kind of hope a mature spirit has in feeling that somehow the ritual of acknowledgement and celebration, like the renewal of wedding vows can refresh a tired relationship.

Thursday, July 15, 2010Next Steps for US Policy in Sudanby Ambassador Jendayi FrazerSudan is approaching its most significant political event since it gained independence in 1956 and U.S. interests in regional stability, counterterrorism, and democracy and human rights are directly at stake. In just six months, the political landscape will change dramatically if the southern Sudanese choose independence in the January 2011 referendum on self-determination. If not handled well, the process and outcome of the vote can lead to a return to the 22-year North-South civil war that resulted in over 2 million deaths.
