Download or read book The Armed Forces of Liberia written by Preston Varkpeh and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Armed Forces of Liberia: A Continuum to the Liberian Democracy examines the Liberian security framework and seeks to explore root causes that have shaped the security landscape in the West African nation. The book considers internal and external links in diplomacy, international relations, politics, economics, and public-policy decisions that have dovetailed into the negative employment of security forces. The Natives–settlers divide in Liberia, the early settlers’ government that excluded the Natives, the ushering in of a military regime that brought an end to Americo-Liberian rule, and the mismatches in doctrinal contexts due to failure of the Liberian government to plan for strategic sourcing of military requirements that meet the current and future needs of security in Liberia are major aspects of this research. Simply put, the research aims at creating a correlation between public-policy decisions (or indecision) and military outcomes as well as how these outcomes affect the animal spirit of investment in Liberia for sustained economic development.
Book Synopsis Building Better Armies by : Sean McFate
Download or read book Building Better Armies written by Sean McFate and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events in Mali, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere demonstrate that building professional indigenous forces is imperative to regional stability, yet few success stories exist. Liberia is a qualified "success," and this study explores how it was achieved by the program's chief architect. Liberia suffered a 14-year civil war replete with human rights atrocities that killed 250,000 people and displaced a third of its population. Following President Charles Taylor's exile in 2003, the U.S. contracted DynCorp International to demobilize and rebuild the Armed Forces of Liberia and Ministry of Defense; the first time in 150 years that one sovereign nation hired a private company to raise another sovereign nation's military. This monograph explores the theory and practice behind the successful disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of the legacy military and security sector reform (SSR) that built the new one. It also considers some of the benefits and difficulties of contracting out the making of militaries. This is significant since the private sector will probably participate increasingly in security sector reform. The monograph concludes with 28 concrete recommendations for practitioners and 6 recommendations for the U.S. Army on how to expand this capability. Finally, this monograph is written by a practitioner for practitioners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the history of the United States-Liberia relations from the early 1820s to 2015, with particular attention paid to the role of the US armed forces. Contrary to most literature on the genesis and development of Liberia, this book demonstrates how US military power has been the primary influence shaping Liberia's history. This includes the role played by the US military in the founding of Liberia, the protection of the country during the European formal colonial era, multiple covert operations in securing US-friendly administrations in Liberia, and direct military interventions when necessary to secure American interests in the region.
Book Synopsis "An Exceptional Situation" by : Kathleen Elizabeth Alfin
Download or read book "An Exceptional Situation" written by Kathleen Elizabeth Alfin and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines the deployment of a predominantly African American army force to Liberia during the Second World War. It specifically analyzes how the racial make-up of US Army Forces in Liberia (USAFIL) collided with the unique socio-racial landscape of the historic Black republic to unsettle contemporary norms and hierarchies in the army unit and country. This clash created what USAFIL's white leadership called "an exceptional situation." Using the notion of "exceptionalism" as a heuristic, this dissertation demonstrates how competing imperial logics of race, as well as gender and sexuality, shaped interactions between Black and white American soldiers (commonly referred to as "GIs") and Liberian men and women during the war. It particularly examines how these interactions affected GIs' cultural constructions of Liberia and Liberians, segregation and racial violence within the US Army force, the training and employment of Liberian men by USAFIL, sexual liaisons between GIs and women in Liberia, and US Army policies to control these. This dissertation ultimately does two things. First, it argues that the "exceptional situation" identified by USAFIL's white minority was in fact the unique challenges the deployment of the Black US Army force to the Black republic posed to white supremacy. This rendered the traditional logics and mechanisms used to manage American soldiers-African American soldiers specifically-and their interactions with local civilians untenable. This necessitated "exceptional measures" on the part of USAFIL's white minority to not only control Black GIs, but uphold their white military authority in the Black US Army force in the Black-governed country. Second, it illuminates the different impulses at odds for African American soldiers and officers in Liberia during the world war. While they perceived their wartime military service in the historic Black republic as integral to the global fight against racial oppression and fostering a broader Black transnationalism, many came to evince a condescension toward Liberians that resembled the very racism they resented in the US Army and United States more generally. These Black American troops did not adopt white American imperialism wholesale though. Rather, they developed a unique logic of Black kinship without equality driven by their desires to achieve racial equality within their own formation and society.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national security interests of the United States include a growing concern for stability on the African continent and specifically the region of West Africa. One potential U.S. partner in this region is the country of Liberia. The newly formed Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) presents a developing opportunity to contribute to the broader U.S. interests. However, in order to ensure stability within Liberia, the AFL requires growth and development through its continued professionalization. This research ascertained the key challenges faced by Liberia in the professionalization of the AFL and assessed how the United States should focus resources in support of this effort through Building Partner Capacity (BPC) strategies.

Book excerpt: "Child soldiers are among the most tragic victims of the war in Liberia. Although international law forbids the use of children under the age of 15 as soldiers, thousands of young children have been involved in the fighting since it began in December 1989. The main rebel forces, the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL) and the United Liberian Movement for Democracy in Liberia (ULIMO), have consistently used children under the age of 18, including thousands under 15. Children are also reportedly used by the other warring factions. As a consequence, thousands of children in Liberia have suffered cruelly during the war: many have been killed or wounded or witnessed terrible atrocities. Moreover, many children themselves have been forced to take part in the killing, maiming or rape of civilians. The use of children as soldiers presents grave human rights problems. Many of these children have been killed during the conflict, thus denied the most basic right -- the right to life. Others have been forcibly conscripted by the warring factions, and separated from their families against their wills. Many have joined warring factions to survive. All have been denied a normal childhood. Reintegrating these children into their communities is a task of immense difficulty. Some children's parents have been killed, their families have fled, and no relatives can be found. In others, families have refused to take children back because of the abuses they have committed. Human Rights Watch believes that 18 is the minimum age at which people may properly take part in armed conflict."--cover.

Download or read book Liberia written by Emmanuel D Abalo and published by ISBN Services. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "birth" of the West African state of Liberia as a sovereign nation in 1847 is intimately intertwined with the desire of freed black slaves to return to their "motherland" in Africa and establish a place of dignity and the lofty ideals of self-governance. and independence.This book attempts to weave the intricate details of the "umbilical connection" between the challenging effort of freed slaves returning to Africa with the help of philanthropic American organizations to build a free nation, the hostile reception and their dogged determination to thrive among the indigenes and the surprises that unprepared nationhood can exact. The exercise of independence and thriving as a free country was rooted in a "run-away" system which utilized the state militia-turned military to prop up the elite settler-led system of governance in Liberia until a violent coup d'état in April 1980 ended that hegemony. Later In post-coup Liberia, the world would subsequently witness, with horror, the consequences of the lack of solid democratic institutions and traditions and social cohesion. The military would degenerate into a tool of terror, rights abuses and impunity. National divisions would be exacerbated at the expense of the state and people. But with assistance from international partners, the restructured Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) is now intentional about rebuilding its scarred image, recruiting the best and remaining a "Force for Good".

Book Synopsis Ghana Armed Forces in Lebanon and Liberia Peace Operations by : Emmanuel Wekem Kotia
Download or read book Ghana Armed Forces in Lebanon and Liberia Peace Operations written by Emmanuel Wekem Kotia and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-04-22 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africa Nations have contributed to peace operations in conflict zones across the world since the deployment of the United Nations Operations in the Congo in 1960. This has placed Africa as a major stakeholder in the maintenance of peace and security. For over fifty years Ghana has earned the international reputation as one of the largest and consistent Troop Contributing Country in United Nations mandated peace operations. While Ghana has long been an active contributor to peace operations, there are few or no comparative studies that systematically analyze the actual roles played by troops in many of the different conflict context where they have served. This book therefore, focuses on a comparison of two peace operations undertaken by the forces of an African Nation in two different missions in Lebanon and Liberia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent events in Mali, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere demonstrate that building professional indigenous forces is imperative to regional stability, yet few success stories exist. Liberia is a qualified “success,” and this case study explores how it was achieved. It was written by one of the architects of the program in Liberia, and is targeted specifically for the practitioner. Liberia suffered a 14-year civil war replete with human rights atrocities that killed 250,000 people and displaced a third of its population. Following President Charles Taylor's exile in 2003, the United States contracted DynCorp International to demobilize and rebuild the Armed Forces of Liberia and its Ministry of Defence, the first time in 150 years that one sovereign nation hired a private company to raise and develop another sovereign nation's military. This book explores the theory and practice behind the successful disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) of the legacy military and the security sector reform (SSR) that built the new one. Lastly, it considers some of the benefits and difficulties of contracting out the making of militaries. This is significant since the private sector will probably participate increasingly in security sector reform. The book concludes with concrete recommendations that should inform DDR and SSR planning and execution. It is written by a practitioner for practitioners.
