LIBERIA WINS A NOBEL PRIZE

The Nobel Peace Prize 2011 was awarded jointly to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkol Karman "fortheir non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work".

(CNN) -- Women's rights took center stage December 10th at the Nobel ceremonies as three women recognized for their struggles against the backdrops of the Arab Spring and democratic progress in Africa accepted this year's peace prize.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Leymah Gbowee, a social worker and peace campaigner from the same country, shared the prize with Tawakkul Karman, an activist and journalist who this year played a key opposition role in Yemen.

The three were chosen for their non-violent struggle against injustice, sexual violence and repression.
"Ever since the Norwegian Nobel Committee made this year's decision known, the people of Norway have looked forward to seeing you on this stage," said Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
All three women dedicated their remarks to women struggling for equal rights around the world.

ELECTIONS: UNITY PARTY STORMS MONROVIA

Saturday, September 17, 2011 may well be recorded in history as the day Monrovia went crazy as "hurricane Ellen" swept across the city and it's environs, sending thousands of Unity Party supporters and sympathizers to the under-capacity Antoinette Tubman Stadium to witness the formal of campaign for the re-election of incumbent President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

The 50,000 crowd of supporters and sympathizers, who overwhelmed the 20,000 capacity ATS prevented the more than 100,000 other supporters outside from entering the stadium.

News that the stadium and its immediate environs were already overwhelmed by about 20,000 supporters and sympathizers of the UP kept thousands more pro-Ellen crowd at Monrovia's suburbs, intersections and entertainment centers.

Truly indeed, it was super Saturday as Monrovia went gay with partisans and supporters dressed in green and white T-shirts, waved Unity Party's flags, sang and danced through the city with President Johnson Sirleaf herself joining the euphoria, waving as she rode on top of her Presidential motorcade to the soccer stadium where she was expected to address the crowd and unveil her campaign platform.

News that the stadium and its immediate environs were already overwhelmed by about 20,000 supporters and sympathizers of the UP kept thousands more pro-Ellen crowd at Monrovia's suburbs, intersections and entertainment centers.

Before the first Partisans, President Sirleaf and other senior executives of the party took the stage, a list of special campaign songs were lively played, blaring the entire stadium as partisans danced their feet out.

The President, who arrived at the ATS in a great amazement, beaming with smiles, assured her partisans of landslide victory come October 11, 2011. "Oppositions will get breaking heart, because we're going to beat them flat on the ground," said the rather overly confident UP Standard Bearer, amidst thunderous applauds from the crowd.
