According to Amnesty International, gross economic and social inequality is an enduring reality in Liberia. In the midst of plenty, many are still unable to access even minimum levels of food, water, education, health care, electricity, housing and communication. This is not only the result of the lack of resources, but also unwieldiness, negligence and discrimination by governments, Liberians in the Diaspora and others.

Violations of economic, social and cultural rights are not just a matter of inadequate resources; they are a matter of policy. There are many more prisoners of poverty than prisoners of conscience in Liberia; millions endure the torture of hunger and slow death from preventable disease.

One could take a look in the Red light district, Duala, and waterside market and see how the population is wasting in the street in the name of business instead of going to school; center street, grave yard, ghetto, carley street ghetto, Blamo town ghetto, sand beach ghetto, behind Red Store ghetto and others where these formal child soldiers and hooligans are abusing drugs… launching calculated crime against the innocent citizens instead of facing reintegration and rehabilitation into the society.

Breaking down of prison yards occurs often. The burning down of police stations by mobs of youth has brought security threats to the society. High rates of hardship has fueled our females to go into prostitution, which often leads to rape, unwanted pregnancy and diseases.

And due to public sentiments on the high rate of armed robbery in Liberia the government passed a bill approving the death penalty in 2008, which has not even put a stop to armed robbery, but it has made the so-called hoodlums increase the violence.

Right now the country is running on one bridge (Johnson – Via Town Bridge) since the waterside – Via Town bridge is broken. This has paved the way for economic sabotage due to regular traffic jams in Monrovia. But the government is doing their best to fix it.

Robbers are stealing the nations money every day in the name of misappropriation. Corrupt government officials have decided that the poor masses will not enjoy their economic human rights.

Something has to be done!
