According to CBL Communications Consultant Cyrus Badio, the awareness campaign aims to remind Liberians of the May 15 deadline, after which the old banknotes will no longer be legal tender. He emphasized that until the expiration date, the old banknotes remain legal tender, and individuals should not reject them.

In January, a number of countries suspended its funding to UNRWA after Israel accused the humanitarian organization of being linked to the attacks. Denmark, however, was among the countries that announced they will wait for the result of the UN investigation to take a decision. Similarly, the Danish Government will disburse the Danish core contribution to UNRWA amounting to DKK 105 million. This contribution will support the organisation’s programme initiatives for Palestine refugees in Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, with a particular focus on the humanitarian situation in Gaza,” the ministry said.

Unfortunately, in Liberia today, there are many BAD LAWYERS THAN GOOD LAWYERS. The question is, did the Legal Adviser read this Chapter/Article 89 to the Cabinet during the discussion on the tenure positions? The Minister was asked by one of the defended Councils to read the paragraph that followed what the Minister read. We believe there was a reason why President Weah did not sign the Bill that would have repealed tenure positions. NULLIFICATION of the TENURE POSITIONS IS NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE ABOVE.

The House is demanding clarifications on these actions and their implications for China Union’s purpose and compliance with the MDA. They view China Union’s promises as a ploy to appease government officials rather than a genuine commitment to improve working conditions at the troubled Chinese mine. “We don’t trust China Union any longer, but our hope is on our Lawmaker, Foday Fahnbulleh. She says China Union’s action was meant to please top government officials instead of being genuine to work in the interest of the common people.

Nidal al-Mughrabi, Bassam and Masoud |Israel said on Wednesday that its airstrike on a UN food distribution centre in southern Gaza killed a Hamas commander who had been targeted but Palestinian health officials said it also killed four more people including a UN worker. There was no immediate confirmation from Hamas that he was a member of the group now battling against Israeli forces in Gaza. Earlier, the main UN agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) said one of its facilities had been hit in Rafah, an area in southern Gaza where more than half of Gaza’s 2.3 million population is sheltering. At least one UNRWA staff member was among the five killed and 22 others were injured, the agency said and the facility’s coordinates had been shared with the Israeli military. Hamas has denied Israel’s accusations and says Israel is using famine to pressure the Palestinian population.

Russian oil tankers have stopped operating under the flags of Liberia and the Marshall Islands in response to the United States’ stricter enforcement of sanctions related to vessels registered under these flags, Reuters reported on March 6. The move impacts numerous Russian tankers, which have lost the ability to utilize these flags over recent weeks. It highlights the ties between the U.S. and the companies managing the ships under the Liberian and Marshall Islands flags, which are headquartered in Virginia, USA, and fall under American sanctions jurisdiction. The previous extensive use of these flags posed a potential long-term vulnerability for Russia’s oil fleet, according to energy and sanctions experts. Even after changing flags outside of U.S. jurisdiction, the tankers would remain liable for any sanctions violations.

Among other exciting questions, the report seeks to address the following: 1) What is the state of human development? This report opens a new trilogy of human development reports that will explore further the layers of uncertainty identified in the latest HDR: how to address polarization (2023-24), shape our shared digital future to advance human development (2025), and marshal human aspirations to navigate the Anthropocene (2026). The human development approach argues that genuine development should seek to expand the richness of lives not just the economy. The first Human Development Report was released in 1990 and it began with the powerful idea: that “People are the real wealth of nations”. The Human Development Report has made it possible to fundamentally reconsider the individual’s place in development, including the impact of direct intervention by humankind into nature.

During the Induction Program for the present leadership of the Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL), the women leadership argued for thirty per cent representation of women in the National Legislature of Liberia. In their vote seeking posture, some men were even pushing for fifty per cent representation for women.

We have the slogan of the women of Liberia: Women O Women. Women O Women.
