"Some animals are more equal than others"

During the years I have often reverted to this novel by George Orwell, Animal Farm. For those of you who have never read it, I can summerize it as follows: The animals on a farm oust its "owners" the farmer and his family and take over the day to day running of the farm. Very soon, the revolution is hijacked by the pigs on the farm that start to oppress all the other animals. Not long after, the pigs start dressing up in the farmers clothes, eating his food and drinking his wine behind locked doors. The other animals peek in at the windows at their nightly feast. This describes the events in our country once again.

The absence of debate!

During the gone elections, all kinds of organisation were arranging debate amonst the contenders. As usual, nothing came out of it. Just today it hit me, the reason we do not have debates in Liberia is because there is basically nothing to debate. It is just a power struggle amongst crowd of friends.

At the end, we all want the same thing.
