The Truth About Dafur Africa News Liberia Nigeria ... President Obama News Liberia Goodwill May Yield Tangible Dividends for Old Ally Thanks to widespread support for Liberia's fledgling post-conflict democracy in the U.S. Congress and within the Bush administration, several thousand Liberians living in the United States who are facing deportation in 60 days are likely to win a reprieve. Liberia is striving to recover from a quarter century of unrest, including 14 years of conflict that spilled into neighboring countries and killed or uprooted hundreds of thousands of people and left many stranded in the United States. Congressional backing has been growing for extending what is known as temporary protective status (TPS), which has allowed some 3600 Liberians and their families otherwise ineligible for immigration to the United States to stay to work here. President George Bush has signaled his support for an extension, despite a ruling last September by the Department of Homeland Security that TPS for Liberians would expire on October 1 this year. "Liberia needs time to rebuild and recover and is unfortunately not in a position to absorb and provide for an influx of refugees," President Ellen John Sirleaf said in an April letter seeking Congressional support.

Liberia Government type Liberia Government Government type: republic Definition: This entry gives the basic form of government. Definitions of the major governmental terms are as follows. (Note that for some countries more than one definition applies.): Absolute monarchy - a form of government where the monarch rules unhindered, i.e., without any laws, constitution, or legally organized oposition. Anarchy - a condition of lawlessness or political disorder brought about by the absence of governmental authority. Authoritarian - a form of government in which state authority is imposed onto many aspects of citizens' lives. Commonwealth - a nation, state, or other political entity founded on law and united by a compact of the people for the common good. Communist - a system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single - often authoritarian - party holds power; state controls are imposed with the elimination of private ownership of property or capital while claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people (i.e., a classless society). Confederacy (Confederation) - a union by compact or treaty between states, provinces, or territories, that creates a central government with limited powers; the constituent entities retain supreme authority over all matters except those delegated to the central government.
