Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Liberia, Gloria Musu Scott says the recent threat issued by some Ex-rebel generals has somehow created a psychological effect on the minds of young Liberians.
According to Madam Scott, it has been exactly sixteen years since the end of the Liberian civil crisis, and at such, it was absolutely inimical for some group of individuals who hugely participated in the country ugly past to resurrect themselves in the current political dispensation of Liberia.
She said the threat issued by the ex-rebel generals reminded Liberians of how they lost their relatives and other associates at the hands of ruthless individuals during the civil crisis.
The former Liberian Chief Justice said the recent action of the Ex- rebel generals has sent a very bad signal to the international community and could undermined the sustenance of peace in Liberia.
Madam Scott wants the government not to take lightly the threat of the ex-rebel generals, stating that, their recent apology could just be another way to keep the public from not knowing their next action.
The former Liberian Chief Justice spoke during the week in an interview with reporters in Monrovia.
Why am I concern is because, between 2004/2005, the warring parties were disarmed and demobilized; but am especially alarmed that some ex-war generals are engaging into acts that are totally outside of the frame work of this country.
Giving themselves some platform and space, giving out instructions and promising to enforce their instructions, do you what that is saying to the young people?
By being normal and preparing yourself to be able to bring out the potential God has given you, is not the thing to do. You are wrong.
Meanwhile, Madam Gloria Musu Scott is calling on the government of President George Weah to listen to the call of the masses.
She said, as a government that is hugely masses driven, it is the constitutional responsibility of President Weah to adhere to every call made by the Liberian people.
Madam Scott wants the government to concentrate more on developing the minds of young Liberians.
I want the government to understand and be able to perform those duties and responsibilities that they so to perform; to protect this country, to create an atmosphere where people can develop and grow.
I am not expecting anything less from the Government.
It is not about politics really, this issue is so national that there should be a national discussion.
Let’s put Politics aside.
