Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>MONROVIA \u2014 Former Liberian Ambassador to the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, Jeremiah Sulunteh, has commended President Joseph Boakai for his commitment to establishing the War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia.<\/p>\n

Recently, President Boakai signed an Executive Order to establish an office of the court in Liberia following the singing of a resolution by both houses of the Liberian parliament.<\/p>\n

Following the President\u2019s executive order, former Ambassador Sulunteh took to his official Facebook page to appreciate the Pres. Boakai for the move.<\/p>\n

Amb. Sulunteh also used the medium to recount his bitter experience with the war, which he said, led to the deaths of his uncle and mother, including hundreds of thousands of Liberians.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a young university graduate, I lost my first salary check at Cuttington University campus, while fleeing the campus during the takeover of the campus for a training base by the National Patriotic Front of Liberia ( NPFL ) of Rebel Leader Charles Taylor\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201d On my arrival in Danane, Cote D\u2019Ivoire, I was told of the beheading of my uncle, John Kleeme and two other family members in my village, simply for refusing to give to the rebels their cassava. My dear mother died of malaria, due to lack of medication, as Phebe Hospital began inassessable\u201d, Amb. Sulunteh furthered.<\/p>\n

The former Transport Minister said the steps taken will assure Liberians\u2019 confidence in the rule of law and the dire need for accountability and transparency in the country.<\/p>\n

He believes justice may not bring back the lives lost during the war but would serve as a deterant to individuals who see war as a way forward.<\/p>\n

Sulunteh further noted that establishing the War crimes court in Liberia is also a significant step to ending the culture of impunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI therefore join other well-meaning Liberians to applaud and congratulate President Joseph Nyumah Boakai for the critical steps taken to establish the War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
