Liberia: CDC Splits Over Ellen's Impeachment

The opposition Congress for Democratic Change (CDC) has sharply denounced and distant itself from recent comment emanating from its legislative caucus that President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf should be impeached.President Sirleaf recently told a group of African-Americans at a public school in New York's Harlem community that she was aware that some women who supported her confiscated the voting cards of their children fearing that they would vote for a young candidate.

They said the President's comment suggests that she aided and abetted cheating during the conduct of the 2005 Presidential and General Elections.
