Will Liberia’s Weah Show Leadership amid Outrage against Homicides?
Read is here
https://theafricaninternational.com/will-liberias-weah-show-leadership-amid-outrage-against-homicides/
The opposition bloc in Liberia is demanding that President George Weah dismiss Justice Minister Musa Dean due to the unprecedented number of unsolved murder cases in the country. Liberia has been plagued by a series of homicides and reports of ritualistic killings of minors, yet those in authority to investigate and bring the perpetrators to justice have remained silent. The opposition community has criticized this lack of action, calling it a failure to address the concerns of citizens, particularly in light of the alarming rate of unsolved murders.
Recently, former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott's Brewerville residence was burglarized by unknown assailants who were reportedly searching for her to assassinate her. The incident occurred between 9-10 PM on February 23, 2023. Some speculate that the former Chief Justice, Senator, and Justice Minister's criticism of President Weah's administration may have been the motive behind the attack. The late daughter of the former Chief Justice, Charloe Musu, allegedly identified one of the raiders, which infuriated him. He then stabbed her multiple times, injuring her other siblings in the house.
Counselor Scott had previously complained about two attempts on her life at her residence before the current incident that led to her daughter's murder. Montserrado Senator Darrius Dillion lambasted Justice Minister Musa Dean for his failure to ensure that the issue of homicides across the country is mitigated by conducting robust investigations and taking punitive actions against the criminals. The opposition bloc is calling for Dean's dismissal, and it remains to be seen how President Weah will respond to their demands.
The government's sluggish response to Madam Scott's cries for help has been decried by many, including Grand Bassa County Senator Nyonblee Karnga Lawrence. She described the incident as catastrophic and expressed her disappointment in the security apparatus for their reluctant response to the former Chief Justice's calls for help after alerting them about two assassination attempts.

a bagel guillotine
Each of us has a must-have item for our dream home. For some, it’s a walk-in closet, and for others, it’s a La-Z-Boy recliner. For me, it’s a bagel guillotine. I’d always dreamed about life with a bagel guillotine on a breakfast bar. Actually, the final push to decide on my new apartment was its online picture showing the breakfast bar opposite to the kitchen. But I’d never seen a bagel…

"Palestinian plaintiffs and their legal representatives on Friday [January 26, 2024] presented a powerful case in federal court accusing President Joe Biden and other top US officials of complicity in Israel's genocide in Gaza.
People around the world tuned in for the long-awaited hearing in Oakland, with plaintiffs appearing in person and over Zoom in an unprecedented effort to hold the Biden administration accountable for its actions in Gaza.
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) filed the lawsuit in November 2023 on behalf of Defense for Children International–Palestine, Al-Haq, and eight Palestinians in the US and Palestine. The complaint accuses President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin of failing to live up to their legal responsibilities under the 1948 Genocide Convention and the 1988 Genocide Convention Implementation Act.
The United Nations convention classifies complicity in genocide, or the intentional destruction of a people in whole or in part, as a crime under international law and requires that states take measures to prevent such atrocities.
[Note: This is a big reason why politicians almost never call it a genocide, btw. Because if a country recognizes that it's a genocide, then they actually are legally required to do a bunch of things to stop it, under international law.]
The historic lawsuit contends that the Biden administration has failed to uphold its obligations by continuing to provide diplomatic and military support for Israel's brutal campaign in Gaza. Plaintiffs are asking the court to stop Biden from sending more weapons and munitions to Israel that are being used to kill Palestinians en masse.
The hearing before the US District Court for the Northern District of California took place just hours after the International Court of Justice issued provisional measures against Israel in a landmark case brought by South Africa.
-via TAG24, January 26, 2024. Article continues below.
Court contends with questions of jurisdiction and responsibility
In evaluating the allegations, questioning in Friday's hearing revolved around the so-called political question doctrine, by which federal courts regularly refrain from ruling on political matters seen as best resolved by the president and Congress.
The Department of Justice argued that according to the doctrine, the court has no jurisdiction to rule in the case.
"If the court condemns United States foreign policy toward Israel, it could cause international embarrassment and undermine foreign policy decisions in the sensitive context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," defense counsel Jean Lin told Senior District Judge Jeffrey S. White.
Katherine Gallagher of the CCR countered that the court does, indeed, have a responsibility to step in: "Here, the question is a legal one, whether the actions undertaken by the United States failed to uphold the obligation to prevent genocide, and that is an active obligation that requires that the United States not provide the means by which a genocide is being furthered."
"There is no discretion for any state to evade its obligations, its legal obligations. These are not policy decisions," she said.
Palestinian plaintiffs share powerful testimonies before the court
After legal arguments in the case, Judge White heard two hours of gut-wrenching testimony from Palestinian plaintiffs and a renowned Holocaust and genocide expert.
Rubin Presidential Chair of Jewish History at Wake Forest University Dr. Barry Trachtenberg shared his remarks before the court in spite of vehement US government opposition.
"To have an event fall under the 1948 Convention on Genocide requires both action and intent, and here we see that very, very clearly in a way that seems really quite unique in history," he stated, noting that there is now an opportunity to stop Israel's unfolding genocide in real time to prevent further loss of lives...
Judge White said he would take the testimonies to heart as he evaluates his constitutional responsibilities, describing the case as "the most difficult judicial decision" he has ever had to make."

Note: I know a lot of people are really not gonna appreciate that last line. I'm not thrilled with it either. But it is worth noting that having a federal court overrule the US president's huge foreign policy and military decisions would be an absolutely massive deal/precedent
This is a case that deserves to be ruled on with an incredible amount of seriousness, if only because if you're a federal judge who's going to make that call, your written decision/legal justification needs to be unimpeachable
That said, if the judge uses jurisdiction to pass the buck here and avoid his legal and human responsibility to do what he can to stop a genocide, I'm gonna be pissed
