Liberia: Letter to Malia and Sasha Obama - Weeping Voices in Dying Valleys

document

With esteemed hospitality and a great degree of compliments, we want to heartily welcome you and your mom along with her entourage to Africa's oldest nation and the World's second black Republic. Liberians, especially teenage girls are glad to have you (Malia and Sasha) visiting a rich, but yet poor country like Liberia. Receiving such a high-power delegation led by the First Lady of the United States of America, Mrs. Michelle Obama is historic and worthwhile.

Ten (10) years ago in January 2006 when President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was about to take the oath of office as Africa's first democratically-elected female Head of State, our nation including adolescent girls and women gave a standing ovation to U.S. First Lady, Mrs. Laura Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
