P arliamentary
elections
were
supposed
to
be
held
Thursday
in
Guinea,

deep-rooted
ethnic

political
misgivings

made
some
progress
in
getting
the
people
of
Guinea
to
reconcile
with
each
other
and
resolving
the
country's
many
humanitarian
problems,
but
some

workers

The

6
years
will
witness
a
far
tougher
onslaught
on
corruption,
President
Ellen
Johnson
Sirleaf
has
vowed
as
she
prepares
for
her
second-term.

come
under
severe
criticism
for
being
lenient
on
graft
despite
her
promise
to
make
it
“public
enemy
number
one.”
“We
will
create
the
environment
for
Liberian
businesses,
maintain
and
open
an
accountable
society
and
fight
corruption
more
effectively,”
the
president
said
Monday
at
the
National
Elections
Commission
when
she
received
her
certificate
as
winner
of
the
2011
presidential
election.

Community
leadership
especially in
our tradition is
not a job
training
position; these
leaders occupy a
very important
place. They must
make the
critical
decisions that
ultimately
affect all of us
and our
community in
Minnesota.
Therefore, we
should not award
our children
future and that
of our children
to just anyone
based on our
affiliation with
that person but
on competence
and merits.
