| Deputy House Speaker Charged With Felony |
| When Deputy House Speaker Tokpa Mulbah allegedly ordered the brutal flogging of police patrolman Lexington Beh late last month, darted into the sanctuary of his mansion with police in tow, got the spontaneous help of CDC officials and foot-soldiers to help him escape arrest, and claimed to be politically victimized by the Sirleaf Administration, it was all politics – Liberian style. And the day went to the swift. However melodramatic and revealing that police-deputy speaker encounter was, it did very little to shield and give the deputy speaker the carte blanche immunity he and his supporters assumed he has or should have. The deputy speaker came to that grim reality this week, when only the agility of his lawyers stood between him and an arrest order on criminal charges. The Analyst, reports. |

| Prince Johnson Risks 'Neglect' |
| Senator Prince Y. Johnson made waves last week when refused to be part of the Nimba 2010 Natal Day Celebrations of Liberia on grounds that he would be committing 'political suicide' to do so. Not many saw the wisdom in the expected presidential aspirant's political posturing; neither did he himself see what others consider the vainness of his decision. But no sooner the wave settled – the celebrations came and went – than the senator began taking the political whipping, from expected quarters. "Will he survive the whipping in view of his presidential ambition amidst all this?" is the reigning question, according to observers. The Analyst, reports.The refusal of Nimba County Senior Senator, Prince Y. Johnson, to attend ceremonies marking the observance of the 163rd Independence of Liberia in Nimba has put him at the risk of abandonment and neglect by his own people. |

| Ethnicity, Sectionalism Prevent Unity |
| Until Charles Taylor shattered the euphoria of Christmas Day 1989, ushered in a bush war that lasted more than a decade, and exposed Liberia internal contradictions, Liberia was presumed the “peace oasis on the West Coast of Africa”. Since that war ended, Liberians have been toying with the idea of turning a new page, of winning back the title it never earned. But no treatment is guaranteed success unless the illness is correctly diagnosed. So, what went wrong? Monsignor Fr. Robert Tikpor of the Catholic Church in Liberia thinks he has the answer and he is challenging the government of Liberia and Liberian scholars. The Analyst sums up his 2010 Independence Day Oration. Fr. Robert Tikpor has emphasized the importance of unity in building a stronger Liberia, but first he said Liberian scholars and policymakers needed to commit to restoring the missing links and holding the bulls of ethnicity and sectionalism by the horns. |
