Holder III, chairman of the Standing Committee on Internal Affairs of the House of Representatives of Liberia, praised the ambassador and his staff for the level of work they are doing in the country to project the name of Liberia.

He called on Liberians residing in Sierra Leone and the Diaspora to support the government of Mrs. Sirleaf as the country emerged from a period of violence to an era of hope.

Thanks and Congratulations Hon Brima!!
This is just reaffirm your commitment to your own people of Sierral Leone though". This commendation came out of no surpise to me as you have just gone back home and needless to mention your effort to helping your own people!!! How far from Vahun to Polimah or Maindopolahun???? This is where you and Dr. Vambah Canneh hailed from and there's nothing wrong with serving your own people.
Many thanks as the citizens of the two countreies ( Liberia & Sierra Leone) are not too far from from each other. It is only that you guys ( Brima and Vamba ) had your own political agenda during the formation of your so - called ULIMO and LIURD for the quest of political power.
Hope you will stay and cement the relations that got damaged as a result of the 14 years of war your all fought. I guess vamba is slowly paying his price for the innocent people that he led to their early grave.
Congratulations! Congratulations! and Congratulations for your efforts to build the image of Liberia and settle the dispute your created in the region with Mr. Taylor and other actors of the Liberian civil war.
thanks
