Born and grew up in West Africa and very proud to live and study in the region till in the late 80s when the war began in Liberia. The West African coast is green and has verse potentials. These landlocked West Africa nations must be thouroughly reexamine as they also gave passage to Chalse Tailor and Foday Sankoh to come and distabilise our region and tamper with our prides and dignities as human beings. I can remeber lot of Bokinabes were involved in the fighting in both Liberia and Sierra Leone and their sponsors are already known by West Africans. For France or whosoever to succeed in our region they have to empower our regional security forces and help to build a system that can serve as ingredients to peace and stability. This is not only good for the region but for the world at large.
