Sierra Leone - US Marines Airlift Liberian Warlord
(5 May 1996) T/I 10:47:50 GS 10:16:12
Street battles broke out in Liberia on Sunday (5/5), two days
after US Marines airlifted Liberian warlord Roosevelt Johnson to
Ghana for peace talks.
The upcoming Ghana talks, aimed at ending the six-year-old war,
are being seen as the first real sign of hope since the latest
collapse in a truce signed by warring Liberian factions on April
19.
Johnson, who has been barricaded in military barracks since April
6, was moved by an armoured convoy to the US Embassy in Monrovia
on Friday (3/5). A US helicopter flew him from there to
neighboring Sierra Leone and onto Accra later that night.
His evacuation was the outcome of two days of diplomatic efforts
involving United Nations, US and peacekeeping officials.

A Calm Day on Patrol in Liberia
Captain Alistair Allan of Sea Shepherd's M/Y Sam Simon describes how Liberian waters have recovered from overfishing thanks to the successful partnership with the Liberian Coast Guard to stop the scourge of illegal fishing in their sovereign waters. "When I compare the wildlife to when I was first here to now, the pods of dolphins, the schools of tuna are so much more ample," says Captain Allan. "What that means is that for the 33,000 Liberians who depend on local artisanal fishing, their life is returning to normal; they're seeing fish in their nets once again."

An APM Terminals programme to upskill home-grown talent in Liberia is hitting the headlines in the West African country. The ‘Leaders of the Future’ initiative has nurtured the career of 34 future leaders since its launch a year ago.
The prospect of a record-breaking first for the country has seen Sam Jabbah, one of the ‘future leader’ trainees, featured in several national newspapers as he embarks on the latest stage of training to become the country’s first Liberian Marine Captain.
Ready to ‘seas the day’
Sam began his career as an Ordinary Seaman (OS) eight years ago before becoming a Deck Officer, and Marine Services Coordinator with APM Terminals Liberia.
He attended the South African Maritime Training Academy in Cape Town, the Maritime Professional Training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Falck Safety Services in Houston, Texas and the Canarian School of Navigation and Maritime Safety in Tenerife, Spain.
More recently, he completed a course in Nautical Science at the Regional Maritime University of Ghana and obtained a Certificate of Competency (CoC) as an Officer in Charge of a Navigational Watch from the Ghana Maritime Authority.
Liberian leader
Since 2018, Sam has been leading and managing an all-Liberian Tugboat and Pilot boat crew, Mooring team, and other marine contractors at the Freeport of Monrovia.
He is responsible for optimising berth utilization and the safe handling of vessels in close collaboration with local, regional and national government regulatory agencies.
Embarking on next steps
As part of strategic growth, APM Terminals Liberia will focus on developing local capacity in the pilotage and Marine sector. It’s a course which Sam is eager to help steer. “I’m passionate about empowering my fellow Liberians, and look forward to identifying and developing high potential talent myself,” he said.

5. US marines walking into US embassy compound
6. Group of Liberians on street
STORYLINE:
Tension remained high on the streets of Liberia's capital, Monrovia, on Monday following overnight shelling as President Charles Taylor's forces and rebels battled at bridges leading to Taylor's stronghold.
On Sunday, United States (US) marines were seen guarding the US embassy compound.
One Liberian man was heard saying the US marines were welcome.
Insurgents were driving home their three year old war to force out Taylor, a former warlord blamed in 14 years of
near-continual conflict in Liberia.
West African leaders on Monday were consulting on a long-promised and long-stalled peace force for the war-gripped country, with Nigeria's army saying the first troops could be deployed by Tuesday.
Deployment of a peace force is seen as crucial to ending two months of deadly fighting at Monrovia.
Battles for the city have killed hundreds of civilians.
With the port in rebel hands, the city of more than 1.3 (m) million is badly short of food, water and aid, and hunger and disease are building.
West African leaders have promised a peace force since attacks on Monrovia began in early June.
Deployment has been repeatedly stalled amid debates over paying for it, with debt-strapped Nigeria saying it cannot afford to pick up the tab.
West African leaders have asked the United States for help.
The United States has contributed about 10 (m) million US dollars, but that amount would cover only a few days' of deployment by any sizable force.
Taylor, offered asylum by Nigeria, says he will leave only when peacekeepers arrive.
Since June, the Liberian president has repeatedly promised he would step down, only to later hedge on timing or renege outright.
The United States has ordered troops to Liberia's coast to stand ready to give still-unspecified assistance to any
West African-led force.

Street battles broke out in Liberia on Sunday (5/5), two days
after US Marines airlifted Liberian warlord Roosevelt Johnson to
Ghana for peace talks.
The upcoming Ghana talks, aimed at ending the six-year-old war,
are being seen as the first real sign of hope since the latest
collapse in a truce signed by warring Liberian factions on April
19.
Johnson, who has been barricaded in military barracks since April
6, was moved by an armoured convoy to the US Embassy in Monrovia
on Friday (3/5). A US helicopter flew him from there to
neighboring Sierra Leone and onto Accra later that night.
His evacuation was the outcome of two days of diplomatic efforts
involving United Nations, US and peacekeeping officials.
The evacuation of refugees from war-torn Liberia continued at the
weekend. On Saturday (4/5) US marines evacuated 33 people from
Monrovia. And on Sunday, some 2,500 Liberian refugees were taken
out the shattered capital on board a Nigerian freighter.

(20 May 1996) English/Nat
As fighting rages on the streets of Monrovia US Embassy soldiers are on alert to ensure the safety of the people sheltering inside.
The U-S Ambassador to Monrovia, William Milan, told A-P-T-V that life at the U-S embassy in Liberia was always difficult but is now much worse.
UPSOUND: Gunshots
As running street battles are played out on the streets of Monrovia, U-S troops inside the American Embassy compound go on alert to ensure they're not the victims of the fighting.
UPSOUND: Marine talking about fighter outside
On this occasion, the Marines are watching Krahn fighters who are loyal to faction leader Roosevelt Johnson, who's attempted arrest sparked the latest round of fighting.
The Krahn fighters here are trying to take on supporters of warlord Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front.
The U-S Ambassador to Liberia says evacuations of foreigners continues.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It's always been a difficult post, but it certainly is much more difficult now because of the confinement, because of the lack of a variety of food and because of the fact that we are constantly on guard. There is danger, there is no use denying that, people have to be careful, people do get worried when the gunfire comes close and so it's a very different existence than normally we would have even in this embassy which has been a danger post for a number of years."
SUPER CAPTION: William Milan, US Ambassador to Monrovia
While bullets have come into the compound from the fighting, the U-S Ambassador to Liberia says the fighters do not tend to target the U-S presence.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"When the fighters come close to the embassy they're very careful to signal their peaceful intentions towards us - carrying their guns pointed away from us, sometimes with one hand in the air so forth. So we are fairly confident that we're not in anyway a target of any hostile intent."
SUPER CAPTION: William Milan, US Ambassador to Monrovia
While the men go on alert as soon as shooting is heard, they say they do not get involved unless they are shot at or if weapons are pointed at them.
UPSOUND: Marine talking about man lingering
So for the most part, the Marines here just stay on alert, watching the fighting.
Fighting that is mostly by young men battling against other young men, faction against faction.
SOUNDBITE:
"We basically are observing anything that goes on outside the wall. The only time we fire - like we did last time - was when the forces get so excited between fire... fighting with each other that they actually started shooting at us and then we had to return fire in order to protect ourselves."
SUPER CAPTION: 1st Sergeant Larry Rosenfeld
Protecting the compound and their own lives may be a tough job for these Marines, but they still get some time to relax.
However, while some are taking it easy there's always someone else watching or patrolling to ensure the U-S flag keeps flying in Monrovia.

11. SOUNDBITE: (English) Voxpop, Liberian Citizen
"I am very very happy."
(Q: "Why are you happy?)
"I am happy for the peacekeeping force, for ECOMIL. I want to be one with freedom. My country has been suffering for long. So I am happy for freedom for our country."
(Q: "What your name?")
"I'm Trinigad Green." (*PHONETIC SPELLING*)
12. SOUNDBITE: (English) Voxpop, Liberian Citizen
(Q: "Whats your name?")
"I'm Ravi Mark..I live in Claren Town." (*PHONETIC SPELLINGS*)
(Q: "How do you feel about the bridge re-opening today?")
"Well I want to first of all thank almighty god, we want to say thank you to George Bush, thank you to the air force, thank you for all of you who have come out today to set us free."
(Q: "What do you mean, we set you free?")
""Well you know the opposing forces, the government forces and LURD forces have been fighting but we are the citizens who are not involved in the conflict , we suffer a lot. Our homes were looted, we were raped, people broke into our homes and they did a lot of things to us."
13. SOUNDBITE: (English) Voxpop, Liberian Citizen
(Q: "So, a genuine peace?")
"Oh, my brother, this is finally peace now, I am sure of that, the final peace coming to Liberia. There'll be no war."
(Q: "Why do you say that?")
"I am saying that because since from the beginning of the war, Americans have never been involved in the war, in the peace process in Liberia. But this is the first time America has been involved."

STORYLINE:
Rebels lifted two months of sieges of Liberia's starving capital on Thursday, ceding control of the vital port and other
territory and retreating from the city as scores of US Marines landed in support of a growing West African peace mission.
With a handshake between US Ambassador John Blaney and rebel leaders on the middle of a front-line bridge, insurgents ended an offensive that had brought down President Charles Taylor, killed well over 1-thousand civilians, and left hundreds of thousands more trapped and starving.
Earlier in the day nine US military helicopters had landed scores of American troops at Liberia's main airport as two more hovered overhead.

Captain Alistair Allan of Sea Shepherd's M/Y Sam Simon describes how Liberian waters have recovered from overfishing thanks to the successful partnership with the Liberian Coast Guard to stop the scourge of illegal fishing in their sovereign waters. "When I compare the wildlife to when I was first here to now, the pods of dolphins, the schools of tuna are so much more ample," says Captain Allan. "What that means is that for the 33,000 Liberians who depend on local artisanal fishing, their life is returning to normal; they're seeing fish in their nets once again."
