I wrote this line thinking about how snail paced or non existent development is in Liberia. With upcoming elections, Liberia is again going through some comical and absurd motion of electing the most low caliber politicians to power to keep up the most idiotic pretence of Democracy. The UN, NGOs, colonisers or as you say , donors, and observers will applaud Democracy and Peace. Journalists will descend and same tired narrative will be regurgitated. Even the critical pieces are tired tropes: land rights, corruption, war crimes and lack of justice, and that Africa's first female President has such a rotten legacy in terms of protecting women. I have always felt I'm witness to a circus and 20 years later, it's still entertaining me.
