Liberian President Speaks to Georgetown Community
Speaking in Georgetown’s Gaston Hall Oct. 17, Africa’s first elected woman head of state looked beyond the effects of war in her country and called for solutions to some of the world’s greatest challenges and conflicts.
Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf referred to her own election in November 2005 as the moment her government was given “the greatest opportunity that can come to any leader – the chance to rebuild a nation on the ruins of war.”
Johnson Sirleaf delivered the fifth annual Goldman Sachs Distinguished Lecture, sponsored by the Mortara Center for International Studies. The annual lecture is a tribute to Michael P. Mortara (F'71) by Goldman Sachs and is held annually for the Georgetown community, featuring an internationally recognized scholar or
And he is driving a hooker around?

Robert Sirleaf, the son of President Sirleaf, was also instrumental in making the event a success. Mr. Sirleaf is Managing Director of Wachovia Capital Markets. Mr. Sirleaf is a Board Member of LET, who has also made the education of young girls in Liberia a prime objective.
Remember our questions
Why is he driving Miss Medina around
Why has he faded into the shadows? Why has no one mentioned him except that one brief article in the N&O
What did he do wit her before going to the party?
There was a statement from Kim and Jarriel, not Brian?
It is as if he was given a pass by the cops and the media..
Isn't Wachovia one of the companies that will or did apologize for slavery?
That is because "every case of heterosexual intercourse is a rape."
Wachovia apologizes for slavery ties
http://money.cnn.com/2005/06/02/news/fortune500/wachovia_slavery/
That might explain the tendency to apologize
Think back to the beginning and the accusations of Rich, white, elitist white boys hiring the strippers.
I assumed with everyone else that the drivers were skanky, lowlife.
Turns out they both come from "good" families.
Jarriel's mother is a pastor.
His sister is working on her masters.
Brian Taylor has INTERNATIONAL connections.
And not once. Not one damned time has the media mentioned it.
You and I know damned well the papers know who Ambulai Johnson is.
And my God, how many times has Bob Bennet's connections been referred to as evidence of their elitism.
We always said Nifong was screwing with the Power Players, but it seems as if Brian Taylor knows some power players.
Another questions:
What brought Ambulai to Durham?
He was a committee chair and on the advisory board of:

More Nifong Demagoguery
This morning, buffeted by allegations that he ignored a sexual harassment complaint filed against a politically well-connected assistant district attorney and facing strong endorsements for the Recall Nifong-Vote Cheek line in the Chronicle and DBR, Durham County's minister of justice offered his latest in campaign demagoguery.
In an e-mail sent to his supporters with a request that they forward it far and wide, the district attorney played the self-pity card, describing himself as the victim of “the most negative local ads that I have seen in my nearly three decades here.” Some might say when a District Attorney violates as many procedures as Nifong has, he’s opened himself up for criticism.

These people may be coming thru NCCU-- foreign exchange

How close is Liberia to Nigeria, LOL!
Wonder if Ambulai knows the good Dr.O
(It's all about the O)
Damon passed 1999. I was wondering f they might have met at the hospital.
It is close enough for the former president to flee there!

Hitting my headon the table:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_G._Taylor
Charles Ghankay Taylor (born January 28, 1948) is a Liberian leader who served as President of Liberia from 1997 to 2003. He was a prominent warlord in the Liberian Civil War in the early 1990s, was elected president, was forced into exile, and now faces trial.
In December 1989 Taylor launched an armed uprising from Côte d'Ivoire. His forces, known as the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL), soon controlled most of the country. Then-president Samuel Doe was overthrown, and tortured to death the following year by Prince Johnson, at that time an ally of Taylor. Doe's fall led to the political fragmentation of the country into violent factionalism. In mid-1990, Prince Johnson's supporters split from Taylor's group and captured Monrovia for themselves, depriving Taylor of outright victory.
The civil war turned into an ethnic conflict, with seven factions fighting for control of Liberia's resources (especially iron ore, diamond, timber, and rubber). Up to 200,000 people were killed, and more than 1 million were forced from their homes.
