This week on Straight Talk Africa, Liberia achieved a democratic transfer of power with incumbent President George Weah conceding the presidential election to former Vice President Joseph Boakai.

  1. Thanks for the dissimilation of information to the larger extent. VOA is very informative. I love watching VOA because of their collective information from around the world. It's now 6:57PM in Monrovia.

  2. This jubilation should not be a surprised because the Weah lead administration came under major attack by the USA sanction on government officials. lot of falsehood claims were made and George not being a pro code politicians. As started weah lost due to economical factors I disagreed. Liberia is a third world country and by then citizens are just poor as they are. But however the many praises to the president elect, we wait to see his 1st year in office.

  3. Well balanced Interview. I believe the Host touched on important aspects of the Subject matter. The Guests were forthcoming in their Observations and Comments about the just ended Presidential Election. Whereas, the Outgoing President was magnanimous in His reaction to the Outcome, setting the Pace for a new Chapter on African Democracy. With the Global Economic Challenges ahead, the Incoming Administration will need the support of all Liberians, 3:23 including those in the Hinterland to play their part in fostering Peace, National Unity and Economic Development.

  4. It beats my imagination to see James playing politics in this interview instead of saying the reality. Who told James that government workers weren’t pay three months prior to the election? What part of the southeast did Amb Joseph Boakai visited to campaign? The act of not being realistic in the public space is unpatriotic.

  5. Liberia is teaching the world the essence of democracy. It's only right, due to the harsh realities of a bloody civil war. Thanks to President Weah! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

  6. I pray that the new government sees what the most important changes that Liberia needs. Every government in Liberia after president Tobert has not focused on what's important in the country. Number one is Education, parents still can't afford to put their children in school. If we call ourselves America's step child, why can't we take the positive things of America and apply it to our own country? We should have free education from preschool through highschool. Secondly, Liberians need jobs. We have no manufacturing or processing plants in Liberia, bigger companies come in and take the resources out of the country and open manufacturing plants somewhere else. Our government need to renegotiate their contracts.

  7. Bravo, bravo, bravo Your excellency, GMW, who will into that great of steps statemanship in Africa and the world at large. Butty, to correct you, Boakai didn't win 20 percent in President Weah strong hold, the entire southeastern.

  8. ,I,Hawa, I was the first in the whole world to say Georgie has won some people did not understand me but threaned kill me and my son.But I meant and I still mean Georgy won the trophy for peace.Thank u Opong.
