The Congaus controlled power and privildges and denied the so-called Country People their rights. They were angry because they were being excluded from governance and the National Cake. I listened to the complaints of the people. I was there when the rumbling that led to the coup started. DOE, WITH WALKIE-TALKIE, POSES WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF HIS GROUP OF SOLDIERS WHO STORMED THE EXECUTIVE MANSION ON SATURDAY APTO OVERTHROW THE TRUE WHIG PARTY GOVERNMENT Why it happened, I can also tell–The people were very angry with the TRUE WHIG PARTY and the Congaus who have ruled Liberia with a black apartheid, one ethnic group styled oligarchy and denied other Liberians their rights and dignities for over 100 years. I saw the coup and the tragic events, including the angry public execution of government officials by firing squad later and I can tell with authority how it happened. And this is one of the lessons any president living today and thinking he can oppress his people, create a one ethnic group state, commit human rights abuses galore and feed fat on the countries resources and get away with it for long should always remember. Though many condemned the Liberian coup, let it be conceded right here that the disaster took many, many, many years in the making. Today, we will educate ECOWAS that they need to look more at how coups happen than seeking to punish those who stage them. It is not concerned with causative factors that provoke coups.
It is only concerned with sanctioning regimes. It seems that ECOWAS is a foolish problem-solver. We recall the coup today as ECOWAS threatens to start applying systematic sanctions against the coup-makers in neighboring Guinea.
And I was there and saw it and heard it all. It was the day when soldiers stormed the Executive Mansion in Monrovia, assassinated President William Tolbert and overthrew the True Whig Party government. Saturday Apwas a day like no other in Africa. Kabs Kanu: Sierra Leone Telegraph: 26 September 2022:
