Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Universal Human Rights International (UHRI) has extolled the Biden-Harris Administration for extending relief to Liberians suffering for years in the United States due to the civil war and what it called the ongoing harm of American slavery and American Colonization.<\/p>\n

President Joe Biden has extended Deferral of Enforced Departure (DED) and employment authorization for Liberians until June 30, 2024. Because of armed conflict, civil strife and Ebola, Liberians were granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in 1991. By 2007, the grant of TPS ended, but President George W. Bush instead granted DED status to Liberians in the United States. That status continued to be extended by successive administrations.<\/p>\n

However, UHRI says DED is not enough. In a statement issued in Boston and Monrovia respectively, UHRI through its founder, acclaimed human rights activist Rev. Torli Krua stated that, to mitigate the ongoing harm of officially sanctioned racism and colonization, UHRI will on July 14, 2022, at Boston City Hall Plaza launch The Representative Ben Swan (Retired) Petition seeking US visa waiver for all Liberians consistent with American and Liberian Laws: \u201cAll persons born in Liberia are entitled to all privileges enjoyed by citizens of the USA.\u201d In addition, UHRI called on President Biden to follow the City Of Boston and apologize on behalf of America for slavery.<\/p>\n

Excerpt of the statement: \u201cWhile we are delighted that the Biden Administration has finally yielded to decades of our relentless humanitarian calls and is offering work permits to some of the Liberians who came here many years ago in search of a safe place, we desire to state clearly, it\u2019s time to end discrimination against Liberians; Include all Liberians on American Soil in the Liberian Refugee Fairness Act, consistent with precedents of reprieves granted by Congress to other nationals in the United States who are physically present on American Soil on the date the law is signed. Why not Liberians?\u201d<\/p>\n

According to UHRI, the ongoing harm of ill-treatment of Liberian visa applicants denied US visas and the denial of Liberian refugees on American Soil access to humanitarian assistance and permits to work over the past three decades clearly demonstrate that the dreams of American white supremacists and slave masters who founded Liberia in collaboration with the Government of the United States are still causing unnecessary harm to generations of African Americans and indigenous Africans, two centuries after the death of the white supremacists and slave masters.<\/p>\n

Backing its comments, UHRI noted that the American Slave Masters who founded Liberia in partnership with the US Congress emphatically stated, \u201c\u2026the colonization of the free people of color, will render the slave who remains in America more obedient, more faithful, more honest, and, consequently, more useful to his master, is it proper to regard this happy consequence to both, as the sole object which the Society (ACS) hope to attain\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Speaker at Congress, Henry Clay, the purpose of American colonization of African American citizens was; \u201c\u2026 to get rid of a useless and pernicious, if not dangerous, portion of our population.\u201d<\/p>\n

UHRI, in its statement said it was not \u201cfreed American slaves\u201d; it was the United States that founded the colony of Liberia for dual purposes; removal and banishment of free African Americans and a Navy Base where captured African slaves would be dropped off.<\/p>\n

It added that the Constitution of 1824 recognized that Liberians were citizens of the United States; consistent with Article 1 of the American Colonization\u2019s 1824 Constitution of Liberia which states: \u201cAll persons born within the limits of the territory held by the American Colonization Society, in Liberia, in Africa, or removing there to reside, shall be free, and entitled to all such rights and privileges, as are enjoyed by the citizens of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

Uniting the \u2018Divided\u2019 United States<\/b><\/p>\n

UHRI said in its efforts to \u201cheal and unite the divided\u201d United States of America and avert the eventual collapse of the United States, it is launching the Free Liberia Movement in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the birthplace of the American Revolution to among other things, petition to heal and unite the United States of America by mitigating the ongoing harm of racism against Native Americans, Liberians, and African Americans; implementation of the American Declaration of Independence and Article 1 of the 1824 Constitution of Liberia, granting access to all Liberians to quality education, employment, and business opportunities in the USA without visa restriction and refund with the interest of all unlawful visa fees collected from Liberians in millions of dollars collected by the US Embassy since 1990.<\/p>\n

The petition, it added, will also call for the declassification of the alleged unlawful and racist classified cable of 1990 sent from the States Department in Washington DC to Monrovia ordering discrimination against Liberian visa applicants but preferential treatment to Lebanese and Indians; official apology for slavery and American colonization and payment of damages and reparation for colonization in Liberia; visa Waiver for all Liberians.<\/p>\n

The group noted that currently, citizens from 40 countries enter the USA without a visa; 57 countries enjoy temporary work visas and five territories controlled by the USA enjoy access to opportunities in the USA.<\/p>\n

It added that the United States of America cannot stand if it continues to oppress Native Americans, African Americans, and Liberians because of the racist law of 1790 that made the skin color of human beings the requirement for US citizenship. UHRI\u2019s Key Points for the Petition<\/p>\n
