Gbarnga, Bong County – In more than three decades of public service, Jewel Howard-Taylor has stood at the center of Liberia’s defining political chapters, serving as First Lady, as Senator, and as Vice President of the Republic. Those close to the family say that, beyond the public titles and political legacies, their relationship was grounded in ordinary conversations, shared prayers, maternal counsel, and quiet moments away from the glare of public life. “In all my years in public life,” she said at one point, tears welling in her eyes, “I have faced criticism, defeat, and misunderstanding. “In the last few weeks,” she said, “I have received more than four thousand visitors from all walks of life. “It is difficult to say,” Senator Moye began, “but we have to say it, because that is what is required.

By Amos HarrisLiberia’s political and security landscape is currently embroiled in a brewing controversy following public remarks by Atty. Her recent defense of a group calling itself the National Fula Security (NFS) has ignited a fierce debate over the boundaries between personal opinion and official government posture. The remarks have fueled public suspicion that the administration may be tacitly endorsing a group that remains unrecognized by—and unknown to—state security authorities. Both the Ministry of Justice and the Liberia National Police (LNP) have publicly distanced themselves from the group, stating they have no formal relationship with, or legal knowledge of, the “National Fula Security.” This contradiction has intensified concerns regarding policy coherence and the government’s handling of sensitive security matters. The title “National Fula Security” is seen by many as carrying coercive overtones that amplify ethnic mistrust.

Disorderly conduct is typically treated as a minor criminal offense, but it plays an important role in maintaining social order.
