Arcelormittal-A-First-For-Liberia.Pdf A first for Liberia Commemorating the start of mining operations Yekepa Saniquellie Liberia mines again NIMBA In 2011, ArcelorMittal’s fi rst shipment of iron ore left the shores of Liberia. The ore, mined from Tokadeh near Yekepa in the Nimba mountain range, was transported along a 240 km rebuilt railway line, to the rehabilitated port of Buchanan. This signifi cant landmark is the culmination of fi ve years’ work to restart the country’s iron Gbarnga ore production. But commemorating the fi rst shipment is more than a celebration – we truly believe BONG the development of Liberia’s iron ore industry will contribute to the rebuilding of the nation’s economy after two decades of instability. L1BERIA RIVER CESS GRAND BASSA MARGIBI Kakata Buchanan Monrovia Our work in Liberia is a series of fi rsts. As our fi rst greenfi eld mining project, ArcelorMittal’s purpose and vision – to transform tomorrow investing to rebuild Liberia’s iron ore industry is an important project for through a shared boldness of spirit and our values of ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company. sustainability, quality and leadership – are evident in our It is even more important for Liberia. work in Liberia. We say ‘Boldness Changes Everything’ and ArcelorMittal’s pioneering investment is one of the fi rst major commitments our mine in Tokadeh is the embodiment of this in action. to be made in the country after the end of 14 years of civil war. What we have achieved in Liberia – producing and shipping iron ore for the fi rst time in 20 years – is evidence of what you can achieve with vision and boldness. In 2005, when ArcelorMittal signed a Mineral Development Agreement with the Liberian government, the words in the contract were about much more than minerals and metal. Not only did ArcelorMittal commit to strengthening Liberia’s mining industry and transport system, we committed to an investment to rebuild the country’s social and community infrastructure for the long term. Our investment in the country, and the people we have employed to make this project possible, is going some small way to try to restore Liberia and its economy. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all those who have been involved in this project over the past fi ve years for their commitment. I hope you enjoy viewing and reading this commemorative book, which marks the beginning of ArcelorMittal’s operations in the country and celebrates the beauty of Liberia and its people. Lakshmi N Mittal CEO and Chairman, ArcelorMittal A history Liberia has rich iron ore deposits concentrated in the remote Nimba mountain range near the Guinean and Ivory Coast borders. Iron ore was fi rst extracted from Mount Nimba from the 1960s to the 1980s, by the Liberian American-Swedish Minerals Company (LAMCO). The nearby town of Yekepa became the hub of Liberia’s iron ore mining industry during this time, until it was destroyed during the country’s civil war in the early 1990s. When stability returned to Liberia after the signing of a peace agreement in 2003, ArcelorMittal was selected by the Transitional Government to restart mining operations and entered into a Mineral Development Agreement in 2005. This was amended by the elected government in early 2007. The Nimba mountain range Home to Liberia’s iron ore, Mount Tokadeh is the site where ArcelorMittal started its Liberia mining operations. The start of the project As Liberia’s infrastructure was completely broken down, ArcelorMittal needed to start from the beginning by developing all aspects and facilities to enable the construction of a major mine project. The project started in 2007 immediately after the amended mineral agreement was signed. We successfully appointed major engineering consultants and project supervisors and procured the necessary equipment and supplies to make the project a reality. Our operations Sustainable mining means forward thinking and planning beyond the duration of the mine. Besides starting our operations at the Tokadeh mine, the $800m investment in the fi rst phase of the project has involved rehabilitating the rail link and port. We have rebuilt the township and the industrial and social infrastructure in and around the towns of Yekepa and Buchanan as well as constructing a new crushing and screening plant. The second phase of the project aims to triple production of iron ore with an additional investment of $1.2bn, with a goal of shipping 10-15 million tonnes a year. This would require a new concentrator plant in Nimba and an upgrade of the rail and port facilities to handle the higher capacity. A new port Investing in transport infrastructure in the port of Buchanan is key to restarting Liberia’s mining industry. The production process Close to the town of Yekepa, there are three iron ore mines, at Tokadeh, Gangra and Yuelliton. Our operations for the fi rst phase at Tokadeh include the installation and commissioning of specialist crushing and screening equipment for Direct Shipping Ore (DSO). Once the iron ore is extracted, it is processed into small particles, before being loaded onto the rail wagons that take the ore to the port. Rebuilding the railway With the iron ore mines located hundreds of kilometres from the coast, the newly renovated railway line linking Tokadeh mine with the sea port at Buchanan is a crucial part of our operations. The 240 km rail line has been refurbished, with bridges and service roads rehabilitated, and a new drainage system installed. Road networks have also been improved, providing 150-200 km of new roads mainly along the railway corridor. In addition, ArcelorMittal has agreed to pave the Ganta-Yekepa road and work has started in 2011. From land to sea Liberia’s most accessible iron ore deposits are deep in the interior of the country. This means more than 600 train journeys will be made each year to carry the ore from Tokadeh to Buchanan, and about seven ships – each carrying 60,000 tonnes – will be loaded with ore every month. At Buchanan port, the iron ore quay has been strengthened and the basin dredged. By 2012, four million tonnes of iron ore will be mined and shipped from Liberia each year to our plants in Europe and to the open market in Asia. Two trains with 70 wagons each will bring in about 13,000 tonnes daily along the 240 km journey. “ Government cannot, by itself, achieve the vision for Liberia that is enshrined in our Poverty Reduction Strategy…We need the participation of the private sector – one that will bring in sustainable investment and promote good corporate citizenship” Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, President of Liberia, speaking at the Corporate Responsibility Forum, Monrovia, February 2010 Our corporate responsibility programme ArcelorMittal’s corporate responsibility programme in Liberia is diverse. We have constructed and rebuilt roads, while teaching thousands of local residents about road and rail safety. We have built new accommodation for employees and improved community access to clean water and electricity. New schools and hospitals are helping to improve education and health. We also work with the government and international donors, having helped to set up the Corporate Responsibility Forum in 2010. The aim of the forum, which to date has brought together more than 200 businesses and public sector organisations, is to encourage responsible investment, good corporate citizenship and collective action for the sustainable development of Liberia. We constantly work to minimise disruption to the fragile ecosystem in which we work, regularly auditing and assessing the environmental impact of our operations. Community Investing in the communities touched by ArcelorMittal has always been central to our operations in Liberia. We contribute $3m a year to a fund that benefi ts communities in the counties of Nimba, Bong and Grand Bassa. We always aim to avoid the resettlement of any members of a community. Where this is unavoidable, we apply international standards as a minimum. In Liberia, we have a detailed resettlement plan for the communities living near the railway and mines that includes compensation and assistance for relocating sacred forest sites, as well as agricultural programmes to help communities with loss of productive land. Currently, no households have to relocate, but those living nearest the mine have the option of doing so, with the help of ArcelorMittal. Schools Education is a key ingredient in ArcelorMittal’s commitment to Liberia – and employing Liberians to manage our local operations in the future. We have reopened two elementary schools and one high school in Yekepa, providing education for 1,100 students. In Buchanan, the newly opened Grand Bassa County Community College, built with the support of both ArcelorMittal Liberia and the ArcelorMittal Foundation, is the fi rst post-secondary academy in the city. Hospitals and health As part of our commitment to improving healthcare in Liberia, ArcelorMittal’s hospitals in Yekepa and Buchanan and its clinic in Green Hill Quarry benefi t employees and local residents – more than 12,000 people. We also run a series of community health programmes, including a major anti-malaria campaign carried out as part of the President’s Malaria Initiative, in partnership with the Liberian Government and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). In the Yekepa and Buchanan concession areas, all homes now have treated mosquito nets and in Yekepa alone, more than 98% of homes have received indoor residual spraying. Protecting the environment The Nimba mountain range, where Liberia’s biggest iron ore deposits are found, is also one of West Africa’s few remaining wet-zone forests. This unique ecosystem means the mountains are effectively biological islands, home to many rare species.

  • Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia
    ‘Listen, Politics is not for Children:’ Adult Authority, Social Conflict, and Youth Survival Strategies in Post Civil War Liberia. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Henryatta Louise Ballah Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Drs. Ousman Kobo, Advisor Antoinette Errante Ahmad Sikianga i Copyright by Henryatta Louise Ballah 2012 ii Abstract This dissertation explores the historical causes of the Liberian civil war (1989- 2003), with a keen attention to the history of Liberian youth, since the beginning of the Republic in 1847. I carefully analyzed youth engagements in social and political change throughout the country’s history, including the ways by which the civil war impacted the youth and inspired them to create new social and economic spaces for themselves. As will be demonstrated in various chapters, despite their marginalization by the state, the youth have played a crucial role in the quest for democratization in the country, especially since the 1960s. I place my analysis of the youth in deep societal structures related to Liberia’s colonial past and neo-colonial status, as well as the impact of external factors, such as the financial and military support the regime of Samuel Doe received from the United States during the cold war and the influence of other African nations. I emphasize that the socio-economic and political policies implemented by the Americo- Liberians (freed slaves from the U.S.) who settled in the country beginning in 1822, helped lay the foundation for the civil war.

  • Nimba's Profile
    Nimba’s Profile The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) Nimba was part of the central province of Liberia which included Bong and Lofa. It became a full-fledged county in 1964 when President William V.S. Tubman changed the provinces into counties. Nimba became one of the original nine counties of Liberia. Over the years, other sub-divisions have been added making the total of 15 counties. Nimba is located in the North-East Region of the country. The size of Nimba is 4,650 square miles. In his book, Liberia Facing Mount Nimba, Dr. Nya Kwiawon Taryor, Sr. revealed that the name of the county "Nimba", originated from "Nenbaa ton" which means slippery mountain where beautiful young girls slip and fall. Mount Nimba is the highest mountain in Liberia. Nimba is the second largest county in Liberia in terms of population. Before the civil war in 1989, there were over 313,050 people in the county according to the 1984 census. Now Nimba Population has increased to 462,026. Nimba is also one of the richest in Liberia. It has the largest deposit of high grade iron ore. Other natural resources found in Nimba are gold, diamonds, timber, etc. In the late 50's, Nimba's huge iron ore reserve was exploited by LAMCO-the Liberian-American Swedish Mining Company. A considerable portion of Liberia's Gross Domestic Product, GDP, was said to have been generated from revenues from Nimba's iron ore for several years. The Flag of Nimba County: - (Valor, Purity and Fidelity reflected in the stripes) There are negotiations going on for a new contract for the iron ore in Nimba.

  • 2008 National Population and Housing Census: Preliminary Results
    GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA 2008 NATIONAL POPULATION AND HOUSING CENSUS: PRELIMINARY RESULTS LIBERIA INSTITUTE OF STATISTICS AND GEO-INFORMATION SERVICES (LISGIS) MONROVIA, LIBERIA JUNE 2008 FOREWORD Post-war socio-economic planning and development of our nation is a pressing concern to my Government and its development partners. Such an onerous undertaking cannot be actualised with scanty, outdated and deficient databases. Realising this limitation, and in accordance with Article 39 of the 1986 Constitution of the Republic of Liberia, I approved, on May 31, 2007, “An Act Authorizing the Executive Branch of Government to Conduct the National Census of the Republic of Liberia”. The country currently finds itself at the crossroads of a major rehabilitation and reconstruction. Virtually every aspect of life has become an emergency and in resource allocation, crucial decisions have to be taken in a carefully planned and sequenced manner. The publication of the Preliminary Results of the 2008 National Population and Housing Census and its associated National Sampling Frame (NSF) are a key milestone in our quest towards rebuilding this country. Development planning, using the Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS), decentralisation and other government initiatives, will now proceed into charted waters and Government’s scarce resources can be better targeted and utilized to produce expected dividends in priority sectors based on informed judgment. We note that the statistics are not final and that the Final Report of the 2008 Population and Housing Census will require quite sometime to be compiled. In the interim, I recommend that these provisional statistics be used in all development planning for and in the Republic of Liberia.

  • LIBERIA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Liberia Is a Constitutional Republic
    LIBERIA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Liberia is a constitutional republic with a bicameral National Assembly. In November Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of the Unity Party won a second term in multiparty presidential elections, which domestic and international observers considered generally free and fair. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. Among the most serious human rights abuses were those tied to justice: judicial inefficiency and corruption, lengthy pretrial detention, denial of due process, and harsh prison conditions. Violence against women and children, including rape and domestic violence, and child labor also were serious problems. Other important human rights abuses included unlawful deprivation of life; mob killings; reported ritualistic killings and trial by ordeal; police abuse, harassment, and intimidation of detainees and others; arbitrary arrest and detention; official corruption; domestic human trafficking; and racial and ethnic discrimination. Impunity was a serious problem despite government attempts to prosecute and punish officials. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life The government or its agents did not commit any politically motivated killings; however, there were reports that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. For example, Harris Williams, an Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) soldier, allegedly killed Henry Freeman, a Liberia National Police (LNP) officer, on July 5 in a suspected personal dispute. The soldier was arrested and his case was pending at year’s end. There were reports of ritualistic killings in which body parts used in indigenous rituals were removed from the victim. The number of such killings was difficult to ascertain since police sometimes described such deaths as homicides, accidents, or suicides, even when body parts were removed.
