I’m off to West Africa now to look at how the intervention by Britain and the United States into Sierra Leone and Liberia almost a decade ago has succeeded or failed — or more likely is on that long path that could take decades before the prosperity overrides the threat of war. We plan to re-trace the journey of Graham Greene who in 1935 with his cousin Barbara travelled through Sierra Leone to Liberia encountering 20-foot high stilted Devil dancers, ritual village dancing, military commanders accused of war crimes, drunken Paramount chiefs, boasting politicis and malarial missionaries. Let’s see what we find.

the APC government should repay the money back to london. when something is not being done about it corruption will continue to grow and children will be suffering with hunger. London should ask them to step out of office so it can be a lesson for everyone who is acting this way to. when the money is giving to them they share it among themselves living inocents people to suffer.
