The challenges facing Madam Ellen are many and hard, indeed. With the co-operation of other Liberians, she should be able to sail through, and leave a mark. She did the smart thing by bringing some of those who opposed her, on board. As for "<i>...and I am sure there is more to come judging from those waiting in the wings...</i>", I can only smile, :smile: and wait to see your prediction unfold. Cheers! @ Sokari.

I know we are all very excited about Mrs Sirleaf-Johnson's election as President. However what concerns me is she faces many hard challenges ahead and though I believe her to be up to the task and a very strong woman,we should all be aware that it is going to be very difficult.
