    My dad was in charge of the USTC in Monrovia in 62-64. My parents attended one of Tubman's inaugurations. USTC was part of Firestone--controlling all of the imports and exports into and out of Liberia. They lived in Harbel. There is no Liberia without Firestone.

      Wrong. There is no Firestone without Liberia.

      What a disrespect to our country. Just watch and see if whether the corrupt firestone is the one that is keeping Liberia. Very soon they will be out of the country, very soon. Watch and see

      @@frankmulbah2913 These are things our people will have to protest about. They are working in modern-day slavery and I think it is not right for Liberia to lease land to firestone or any foreign interest for that amount of years. I think the minimum show be 5 years lease and then they come to the negotiation table to discuss what was the benefits of the Liberian people in that deal.
