‘Understand the PAST; Experience the Present & Marvel at the Future’
Writing is good for the mind but when you write; be mindful that “the pen is mightier than the sword” and what you write have the aptness of starting smoke which will eventually lead to fire.

THIS IS OUR VOW!
Culled from IEN: The Editorial Staff of the Independent Eye News (IEN), views the electoral system of the Union of Liberian Association in the Americas (ULAA), as a national disgrace to the Diaspora Liberian Community.

PERSONAL, OR NATIONAL INTEREST?

DICTATORSHIP, CULTURE, OR SHEER IGNORANCE?
Since the introduction of 24/7 media reporting within the Diaspora Grand Gedeh Community almost two years now, we have encountered and exposed some of our elected Community leaders, who have displayed bare-footed dictatorial tendencies in their leadership styles. This makes us to wonder whether these elected leaders are really dictators in the truest sense of [...]
WHAT IS WRONG WITH US, IS US!!!
The National Board of Directors of the Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas (GGAA), is suppose to be the power broker within the Association, by virtue of the fact that unlike the National Conference, the Board is always around.

MEMBERSHIP!!! WHOSE FAULT IS IT?
The Editorial Staff of the MN Web, wishes to use this Editorial to focus attention on Membership within the Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas (GGAA), which is an age old problem within the Gedeh Union.

CRITIQUE OF THE GGAA IEC’s CLASS SYSTEM
A CLASS SYSTEM, designed to draw a line of distinction between Members of the Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas (GGAA), classified as the “elites” and the rest considered the ‘ordinary,’ has been introduced within the Association.
