Dear Prospective Member:

Liberia should have a special place in the conscience of the United States of America. Its impetus to become a nation came from the United States. For 149 years, it was a stalwart ally of the United States. Yet for the past years, as a civil war has taken almost 200,000 lives, displaced more than two-thirds of the population and destroyed its infrastructure, the United States has treated this great tragedy as a regional problem. Liberia has a unique historical and cultural link to the United States. Settled by African Americans, many of them former slaves, in the early decades of the 19th century, Liberian became a republic in 1847. The United States inlluence on Liberia is reflected the African nation's constitution, the star and stripes of its red, white and blue flag, the structure of its government, the names of its cities, its schools' curriculum; its official language and the remarkable degree of good will its citizens feel toward America. Through all the major conflicts of the 20th century, Liberians been arnong thc most dependable allies of the United States, In both World Wars, Liberia declared war on the enemies of the United States and offered vital air bases, ports, and natural resources to support the United States military. During the Cold War, Liberia voted with the United States on every significant resolution at the United Nations, It hosted facilities for electronic monitoring and became the largest base for United States intelligence-gatheriing in Africa. Yet when Liberia's security was most at risk because of civil conflict the United States government deferred toECOWAS, an under-funded regional organization composed of some of the world's poorest nations. Half of tlie $10 million earmarked by the United States to support a peacekeeping force had not been committed by April 1996. Meanwhile, the cost to the United States ol'responding to the humanitarian crisis since 1990 has been emergency relief assistance valued at over $445 million, over $66 million provided in the past year alone, more than eight times the arnount committed to peacekeeping. In the absence of a viable security plan, tlie torrent of refugees continues to undermine Liberia's relations with its immediate neighbors. ~houghthe United States has implored those nations to admit Liberian refugees, its own rccord of Liberian admissions decries the long relationship with that nation. The approach to achieving pence in Liberian has revolved around the ECOWAS process for six years. This process has, in turn, been dependent on a core group of ECOWAS nations with the will and very limited resources to engage in diplomacy or to commit forces for peacekeeping, Fourteen peace agreements have been largely brokered without the United States and other international parties, such as the United Nations or OAU, present with ECOWAS as working partners at the negotiating table. The result of this agreements and the resources, and leverage, necessary l'or successl'ul implementation, This failure to produce a concerted approach to all aspects of the peace process, from mediation to negotiation and implementation, produced the tragic results that we have witnessed in Liberia. On August 17 the Economic Coliiriiunity of West African States(EC0WAS) concluded meetings that provide a new timetable for the peace process, Starting August 20, the warring factions are to observe a cease-fire, dismantle checkpoints and withdraw from zones of combat, The peacekeeping force, expanding from 8500 to 18000 troops, is to deploy throughout Liberia in November. Demobili~ationis to be co~iiplctcdby January 3 I, Elections are to be held on May 31 with a turnover to an elected government on June 15. The revised plan calls for sanctions against mcrnbers ol'the warring f'actions that obstruct the peace process. Sanctions include restrictions on travel, freeze on economic activities, exclusion from electoral process, and war crime charges. Now the 1Jnited States has another opportunity to assert its international leadership at a critical juncture to ensure that the success of the new peace process. This leadership will not lead to an involvement of United Statcs troops. It does Incan that the United States must heighten its diplomatic efforts to help coordinate the process of peace and gather the funding that is necessary for ef'fective peacekeeping and demobilization in Liberia. The United States should takc the necessary steps to ensure that its commitment of $30 million to support the ECOMOG peacekeeping force is obligated before the end of the fiscal ycar 1996. While tlie United States pledge ol'$30 million is a step in the right direction it will not alone enable a doubling of ECOMOG to the 18,000 troops necessary for deployment by November. It is vital that the United Statcs provide ;tdditional funds to make up this shortfall or take the lead to obtain significant pledges from other donor countries A top priority ol' tlie Unrtcd Statcs stioi1It1be tile iriiplc~iicntationof a serious program for demobilizing Liberia's combatants, Regretfully, no additional funding has been pledged by the United States to improve what was an ~nadccluatciy I'unded and designed demobilization plan. In fact, some of the funds allocated in early 1996 for reintegration of Liberia's 60,000 combatants have been diverted elscwhcre. The United States should takc the lead in designing a comprehensive demobilization program, This program will not involve United States troops, hut should include the resources f'or every stage ol'dcriiobiliration froni encampment to training and counseling of combatants. A contribution of $20 million (non-food related) from the United States will provide the resources necessary to initiate a weilconceived demobilization progl-an] and encourage future contributions from other international donors. President Clinton and the United Statcs Congress must makc Liberia a priority on our foreign relations agenda in Africa. United State leadership is critical if the key elements are to be achieved on schedule under the new peacc plan. This leatiership will not lead to an involvement of United States troops. It does mean that the United States through its Special Envoy, must heighten its diplornatic efforts to coordinate the implcrncntation of the peace process and gather the additional resources necessary for effective peacekeeping and demobilization The United States should strengthen the response of the international community to the needs of the peace process, The foundation for a new international approach to the peace process a!ready exists with the International Contact Group for Liberia. the group of donor countries that have pledged support to the peace process The concept behind the ICGL shou!d be expanded to a tightly coordinated partnership thu~includes the United States. ECOWAS, and the United Nations. This high level of cooperation will ensure that scarce resources are effectively utilized. The outbreak of fighting in Monrovia In April-May of 1996 was the latest in a series of clashes in Liberia's intractable war, During the past nearly seven years, the war has produced shocking humanitarian conditions I'or Liberian civilians, The most recent fighting exaccrbatcd even further these conditions. Humanitarian assistance organizations have been unable to deliver food and other emergency services because of' the Sighting in Monrovia, Their resources looted by gangs of combatants and the safety of their relief workers threatened, these organizations closed or dramatically reduced their operations in Liberia. As a result of the civil war in Liberia, an estimated XU0,000 Liberians are internally displaced; another 800,000 are refugees in neighboring countries that are among the poorest in the world. Approximately 50 C/c of the population in Monrovia, upwards of 350,000 persons, were forced to flee their homes due to the April-May fighting and another 3,000 died. During June-July some 3,300 new cases of cholera were reported in Monrovia and a July survey found malnutrition rates for children in displaced shelters have increased up to 25%. Now that the dust of the Civil War in Liberia is settling down, an era of a NEW LIBERIA is at hand. Whether anyone likes it or not, an leadership is bound to emerge, supposedly to shoulder the national responsibilities of politics and administration and to ensure the continued survival of the Liberian people and culture. That such leadership will be genuine and committed is a matter that you as Liberians and friends of Liberia can decide, or at least influence, But choosing national leadership is a serious and difficult business, In Liberia, bombed-out homes and shops are painful reminders of what happens when leaders are chosen unwisely, We cannot allow this to happen again, This . is why the Liberian Social Justice Foundation IS campaigning for PEACE, SECURITY, SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, EDUCATIONAL AND POLITICAL JUSTICE IN LIBERIA. The Liberian Social Justice Foundation has carefully examined the administrative and operational policies of both the past and present administration in Liberia, and in our candid opinion, much more needs to be done to help Liberia go in the direction she needs to go. We as Liberians must try to have a positive influence on the selection of the national programs and the corresponding leadership which will inevitably affect our lives and the lives of our people for niany years to come. My fellow Liberians and Friends of Liberia, the Liberian Social Justice Foundation has embarked on a mission to ensure that PEACE, UNITY, SECURITY, FREEDOM AND SOCIAL JUSTICE prevail in Liberia. This is an awesome responsibility that can only occur if we cooperate as a team. History will judge us not by what we say, but by what we do. With God and the determined mind, there is nothing we cannot achieve for our Liberian Society. It is in this light that I urge you to support and contribute to the Liberian Social Justice Foundation's programs. Liberia, the African nation established in the 1800s by freed American slaves, has been torn by civil war since 1989. What does the Liberian Civil War meanto Americans in terms of health care, humanitarian relief, stability throughout Africa and the continuation of missionary work?
