Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Prophet Amos Warter Zor, a United States-based Liberian clergyman, has commended both houses of the legislature for endorsing a resolution to establish a war and economic crimes court in Liberia.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives unanimously endorsed the WECC resolution nearly a month ago while the Senate recently did the same \u2014 paving the way for the executive branch of the Liberian government to work out modalities to have the court established.<\/p>\n

In light of these developments, the Clergyman said at a press conference held in Monrovia last week that these significant steps mark a turning point for the nation, offering a chance to address the atrocities of the civil war and combat corruption in the public sector.<\/p>\n

Clergyman Zor, who is popularly referred to as a prophet of God, believes that the court\u2019s establishment is crucial for long-overdue justice and reconciliation, providing closure for victims\u2019 families and deterring future violence.<\/p>\n

However, Zor acknowledges that the road ahead will pose challenges that will require both physical and spiritual efforts to overcome. The success of the court will depend on President Boakai\u2019s commitment to transparent implementation and the inclusion of all voices in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Liberia can navigate these challenges and establish a credible court, it could mark a significant milestone, leading to a more peaceful and stable future for the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Zor noted the establishment of the court is in line with God\u2019s plan to deliver Liberia from a self-inflicted curse.<\/p>\n

Zor also highlighted the importance of addressing past injustices and acknowledging the roles played by different groups in the country\u2019s turbulent history.<\/p>\n

The Clergyman believes that the death of former President William R. Tolbert, Jr. and 13 government officials in 1980 triggered a series of events that have plagued Liberia for over 40 years. The military coup that led to Tolbert\u2019s untimely demise marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in Liberia, eventually culminating in a devastating civil war that claimed countless lives and left lasting scars on the nation.<\/p>\n

Prophet Zor asserts that the tragic events of 1980 have cast a curse on the country, emphasizing the need for national deliverance and reconciliation to heal the wounds and pave the way for a better future for all Liberians.<\/p>\n

As part of his efforts, Prophet Zor has engaged with various stakeholders, including governmental and religious institutions, to promote the message of deliverance and reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou cannot talk about deliverance and reconciliation without talking about justice,\u201d he said. \u201cWe need the WECC. We have to make up our minds. We have to be strong towards whatever you want to do. We cannot do the spiritual aspect of the deliverance without doing the physical aspect, which is the court process \u2014 bringing justice to those who have been hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe in judgment. I believe in bringing people to pay for the crime to admit the truth concerning what they have done. When that is done, we can start developing the minds of our people, especially the youth,\u201d he noted. \u201cAfter that, we will embark on the spiritual aspect\u2014after which we will start to see our country flourishing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prophet Zor\u2019s mission aims to foster unity and healing in Liberia, reminding all parties of the collective responsibility to build a peaceful and prosperous nation.<\/p>\n
