Hope In Africa

1 minute read time

Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf today gave an address before a joint session of Congress. She is breath of fresh air from an impoverished continent.

Several times she thanked America, and God,  for the support and aid for her country. She declined to ask for further financial aid, saying, "we ask that we continue working together but we do not ask for patronage. We do not want to continue in dependency. The benefits of your assistance must be mutual".

She promised to be "America's success story in Africa."  We can only wish her good health and success.  It is worth reading the entire speech here. It will make your week.
