FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
We will not sit silently as Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and human rights advocates while misinformation is spread about our country.
The President of Liberia made a responsible and commendable decision in engaging in today’s meeting in Guinea with the Presidents of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. The dialogue was successful, constructive, and conducted in the spirit of regional cooperation and peace. All parties engaged in meaningful discussions, and the meeting concluded positively.
To members of the opposition who have circulated false statements against their own country and distributed misleading AI-generated images that do not represent the reality of the situation, we urge you to act responsibly. Such actions undermine national unity and misinform the public.
Liberia deserves truthful representation and responsible leadership. We recognize and appreciate the leadership demonstrated in addressing regional matters through dialogue.
The time for political games is over. The time for responsible leadership, truth, and national unity is now.

CALL FOR JUSTICE FOR MRS. TONI JACKSON

We call for justice for Mrs. Toni Jackson, a South African national whose life was tragically lost. Mrs. Jackson was the wife of Samuel Jackson, a Liberian and American citizen who has been identified as an alleged person of interest in this homicide case.

This tragic incident has also raised serious concerns about a possible case of intimate femicide, a form of violence that continues to threaten the lives and safety of many women around the world.

We respectfully urge the relevant authorities to conduct a full, transparent, and impartial investigation so that the truth may be established and justice served. Every victim deserves dignity, and every case of violence against women must be treated with the seriousness it deserves.

We stand in solidarity with the family and loved ones of Mrs. Toni Jackson, and we reaffirm our commitment to justice, accountability, and the protection of human rights.

Let justice prevail.

This is not the time for political games.(Mr.JAY RANDY ) YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT) : MY CONDOLENCES TO MR. JACKSON AND FAMILY
This is not the time for political games. This is the time for truth.

The tragic death of a young and promising wife connected to a well-known Liberian has raised serious concerns across our nation. The presence of bruises and the troubling circumstances surrounding her death demand more than silence, speculation, or political distraction.

Let us be clear: this case is serious. It should not be used to confuse the public or protect anyone from accountability. When a woman dies under suspicious circumstances in her own home, every responsible authority must ensure that the full truth is brought to light.

We call on the Government of Liberia and all relevant institutions to conduct a transparent, independent, and credible investigation. Justice must not depend on status, influence, or political connections. Every life matters, and the law must apply equally to all.

For too long, cases involving violence against women have gone unanswered in our country. Our eyes are open. Our voices will not be silent.

If this is indeed an alleged case of intimate femicide, then justice must be pursued without fear or favor. The people deserve truth, accountability, and the protection of every woman’s life and dignity.

Justice for her. Justice for all women.

PRESS RELEASE
Let Us Be Real About History, Identity, and Peace in Liberia
In light of the ongoing public confusion and concern surrounding the name “Fula National Security Force” in Liberia, it is important that we speak truthfully, responsibly, and peacefully as a nation.
Historical Context Before 1822
Before the arrival of freed settlers in 1822, the territory now known as Liberia was home to diverse indigenous communities. Among them were groups such as the Vai, Mandingo, Kpelle, Bassa, Gio, and others.
The Fulani (often referred to locally as Fula) are a widespread West African ethnic group historically known for pastoralism, trade, and Islamic scholarship across the Sahel region.
The Mandingo (often spelled “Mandigo” locally) have also played an important role in trade networks, Islamic education, and commerce long before Liberia became a republic.
It is crucial to state clearly:These communities existed in the region long before 1822 and are part of the historical fabric of the land.
Why Are Liberians Concerned Today?
The current concern is not about ethnicity itself. Liberia is constitutionally a multi-ethnic nation. The concern arises when:
• A group adopts a name that suggests parallel security authority outside the national structure.
• There is fear of armed or organized enforcement outside of the Armed Forces of Liberia or national security institutions.
• Regional instability in parts of West Africa influences public perception and anxiety.
Liberians are a peace-loving people. After years of civil conflict, our citizens are highly sensitive to any development that appears to resemble militia-style organization or ethnic-based security structures.
The issue, therefore, is not “Fulani versus other tribes.”The issue is national unity, lawful authority, and security transparency.
Advice to All Liberians
As Liberians, we must:
1. Reject tribal hatred. No tribe is an enemy of Liberia.
2. Avoid inflammatory language. Words can ignite fires faster than weapons.
3. Respect constitutional authority. Only recognized national institutions should carry security mandates.
4. Seek dialogue, not division.
5. Protect Liberia’s spiritual and moral foundation. Liberia’s Spiritual Foundation
Liberia was founded with a declared dependence on Almighty God. The Declaration of Independence (1847) reflects this spiritual identity. Our national motto and heritage reflect faith, resilience, and liberty under God.
Our spiritual foundation calls us to:
• Justice without hatred
• Truth without violence
• Unity without tribalism
• Peace without compromise
Let us remember:Liberia’s strength has always been in reconciliation, not retaliation.
Final Word
To all Liberians—whether indigenous, Americo-Liberian descendants, Fula, Mandingo, or any of the 16 recognized ethnic groups—this is our shared homeland.
We must not allow confusion over a name to become a seed of division.We must verify facts before reacting.We must uphold peace above politics.
Liberia belongs to all its lawful citizens.Security belongs to the Republic.Peace belongs to the people.
May God preserve the Republic of Liberia and keep us united in truth and peace.

Public Statement
Community Engagement Global Mission
Community Engagement Global Mission acknowledges the recent action taken by the United States House of Representatives regarding legislation that restricts transgender-related surgical procedures for individuals under the age of 18.
As an organization committed to human dignity, family stability, and the protection of children, we support policies that prioritize the long-term physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of minors. We believe that children deserve careful protection, thoughtful guidance, and responsible oversight when it comes to irreversible medical decisions.
Our position is rooted in three core principles:
0.0.1. ️⃣ Protection of Minors
Children and adolescents are still developing physically and emotionally. Major medical decisions with lifelong consequences should be approached with caution and strong ethical consideration.
0.0.2. ️⃣ Parental Responsibility and Rights
Parents play a primary role in guiding and safeguarding their children. We believe families should be empowered and supported in making informed decisions concerning their children’s welfare.
0.0.3. ️⃣ Compassion and Respect
While we support protections for minors, we also affirm that every person — including those experiencing gender identity challenges — deserves dignity, respect, and compassionate care. Public policy discussions must remain respectful and free from hostility.
Community Engagement Global Mission remains committed to promoting human dignity, strengthening families, and encouraging policies that protect vulnerable populations while upholding civil dialogue.

The Way Forward
Liberia must pursue balance, not polarization. The solution is not suppressing speech, nor tolerating abuse. Rather, it requires:
• Clear public understanding of constitutional limits
• Responsible use of social media
• Civic education on respectful discourse
• Commitment to due process
Conclusion
A strong democracy protects free speech.A mature democracy encourages responsible speech.A stable democracy respects its institutions.
Liberia’s path forward lies in protecting liberty while strengthening dignity and the rule of law.
