2025/26 County Meet: Nimba, River Gee, Grand Kru, and Margibi, Lofa and Bassa Advance; Gbarpolu Fate Uncertain
From Group B, host Nimba County emerged as one of the tournament’s standout performers, finishing at the top the group with seven points. The National County Sports Meet represents identity, pride, and national visibility, especially for counties that often feel marginalized. The forward who has previously represented Grand Bassa, Sinoe, and Lofa counties rose highest inside the six-yard box to nod home the winning goal. Tarpeh, a former National County Sports Meet Most Valuable Player, opened his scoring account for Nimba on Dec. 13 in a 3–0 victory over Sinoe County. With the results, Lofa County and Grand Bassa County have both qualified for the quarterfinals, ending Grand Gedeh and Cape Mount’s hopes of progression.

Liberia: CSA Boss Joekai Warns Gender Inequality Is Undermining Liberia’s Productivity and Governance
“This work matters deeply for Liberia,” Dr. Joekai said. Dr. Joekai said each of these factors directly affects employee performance, psychological well-being, and institutional effectiveness. “Policies without enforcement only create the illusion of fairness,” Dr. Joekai warned. Dr. Joekai called on policymakers, public institutions, and private organizations to treat gender equity as a strategic development priority rather than a symbolic gesture. He praised Dr. Joekai as a scholar-practitioner whose work successfully bridges academic research and real-world reform.

Liberia: Howard Family Returns to Phebe to Honor a Slain Doctor, Remember ‘Forgotten’ Massacre
This gathering marked the first time in decades that almost the entire extended Howard family assembled at Phebe as a single unit. He emphasized that remembering Dr. Howard is not about reopening old wounds but about ensuring that such violence is never repeated. He added that Phebe Hospital remains committed to preserving the memory of those lost and to continuing the mission they started. He served at the Old Government Hospital, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital, and later became one of the pioneering doctors at Phebe Hospital in the 1960s. A granddaughter of Dr. Howard, now a medical doctor based in the United States, led an initiative to bring medical supplies to Liberia.

Liberia: EU Releases First Tranche of €56 Million Budget Support as Liberia Meets Reform Benchmarks
He described the European Union as a dependable and genuine partner whose support is rooted in delivery rather than declarations. Minister Ngafuan said the release of the funds demonstrates that Liberia’s reform commitments have translated into measurable outcomes. The minister emphasized that the €21 million is not additional or unplanned funding but was already captured in the approved 2025 National Budget. She explained that EU budget support is strictly performance-based and is released only after partner countries meet clearly defined eligibility criteria. She said the EU views budget support as a tool that strengthens national systems and promotes local ownership of development policies.

Former PUL Leaders Warn Liberia Is Sliding Toward Conflict, Cite Rising Political Tension, Media Lawlessness
Philadelphia – Former leaders of the Press Union of Liberia (PUL) have raised a stark alarm that Liberia is “gradually descending into conflict,” warning that unchecked political agitation, violent protests, and growing media lawlessness could plunge the fragile post-war nation back into instability. The former PUL leaders pointed to the December 18, 2024 burning of the historic Capitol Building as a defining example of how political tension can easily spiral into violence and massive property destruction. They cited the December 17, 2025 protest in Monrovia as a troubling illustration of growing lawlessness around political actions. Beyond street-level confrontations, the former PUL leaders warned that Liberia is fast becoming “the Wild West of social media,” where falsehoods, threats, and reputational attacks are broadcast with impunity. The statement condemned what it described as admitted acts of misinformation and political propaganda by certain social media figures, warning that such practices erode public trust and damage the already struggling mainstream media sector.

Liberia: Senator Konneh Decries Senate’s Handling of Ivanhoe Agreement, Warns of ‘Robbing Liberians of Investment Outcomes’
The submissions, the report noted, failed to respond to core questions raised by lawmakers regarding compliance with the Liberia–Guinea Implementation Agreement. The agreement governs road, rail, and logistics access for Ivanhoe’s iron ore operations linking Guinea and Liberia. In a statement released over the weekend, Senator Konneh said his abstention was due to what he described as a “procedural flaw” in the Senate’s handling of the agreement. “My decision was due to a procedural flaw, not a repudiation of American investment in Liberia,” Konneh stated. Senator Konneh urged stricter adherence to legislative procedures in future concession reviews.
