Weah-Served Well?
By: Najuah Y. Mulbah
As the storms moves back in the years of 2017, the then ruling party(Unity Party) losing strength and admirations from the masses, all eyes and hopes were being turned to the oppositions block's favorite the Coalitions for Democratic Change(current regime) under watchful eyes of former soccer star his Excellency President George Manneh Weah. The cards were played well and it all came in the interest and favor of both parties(The Masses and the Coalitions).
As years goes back, in the first year of the regime a massive protest was being set up schedule for June, 7, of 2018 staged by current opposition block which was then a mashup of some individual political actors and political parties, jointly they formed the Council Of Patriots(COP) to give a petition to the government. The country went in disarray, mothers being afraid, fathers worried what the outcome would be, looking at remarks from few of those individuals involved in the staged protest. At this point, the masses have started to be manipulated little by little.
After several years, more pressures were being heaped on the back of the regime more when inflations, unemployment, hardship and corruption became the lead topic on the lips of the opposition through the likes of Henry Coasta, Yekeh Kolubah, Martin Kollie and many other.
Did this prove failure?
The midterms special senatorial elections had a tremendous effect on the regime. The opposition belt at the time, the Collaborating Political Parties sweep massively almost an all house campaign with the ruling regime walking empty handed in even in its own stronghold, Monsterrado. Did this give a sign? It obviously! Over recent times men have been brought on board only to tear down the image of what the poor masses suffered for years ago. The Coalitions is now like a safe haven for few losers who had the opportunity in their own hands but threw it to the dogs. Individuals whom couldn't afford to spend $500.00 usd are spending thousands on the daily basis while there are more than millions striving to make earn means. What you expect the masses believe when you spend on worthless things openly in the eyes of such struggling generations? Building private resorts, girlfriend's birthday Islands and hosting wedding and events in foriegn countries give more claims to members of the opposition block who speaks against you on the daily basics and the Liberian people(The masses) will have all right to believe.
Successful?
There have been some great achievements by this regime, building highways, markets, parks, renovations of the Presidential Palace and there are many projects that I can't point at because they are many. Can this save this regime? It's a question that needs to be addressed.

The time bomb(my fear)
As an expert, my fear now lies in the financial and monetary systems with in this country. We currently have three different local banknotes all active on our market, what if this regime doesn't succeed in removing all of the other two types of notes from the market until they are being dethrone, what happens again, are we moving to level four? Please this is a wakeup call to all advocates, be it pro-poor defenders, advocates of the masses, human rights advocates, free mind thinkers, now is the time that we rise. Let the fight start earlier as it gives everyone chance to conquer. Please take this to those that needs to hear it. This is a new era and a new day and everyone can have a part in the fight to save what we truly believe and trust in.
