Guinea Africa: Ebola - a Dreaded Virus With No Cure President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has reassured her Guinean counterpart, President Alpha Condé that the Liberian Government will adhere to the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries for the export of Guinean iron ore through Liberias port. Our commitment is firm, she said. Last year, the Governments of Liberia and Guinea signed a MOU that will allow the export of iron ore produced at its Nimba project in Guinea through Liberias seaport in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County. West Africa Exploration SA (WAE) is expected to undertake the project. According to an Executive Mansion release, the Liberian leader made the remarks when a visiting 12-member high-level Guinean delegation paid her a courtesy call at her Foreign Ministry office recently. The Guinean delegation was in Liberia to make a formal presentation to the Inter-Ministerial Concession Committee (IMCC) on how WAE expects to proceed with the project. During the meeting, President Sirleaf expressed her delight at the visit of the Guinean delegation here to embark on the technical details of the process. She encouraged them to develop a work plan and a roadmap that is time bound. We know that there will be reasons for negotiations back and forth during the discussions; but the sooner that you tackle it, the sooner we can find solutions to those problems, she emphasized. The Liberian President pointed out that countries in the sub-region, particularly the Mano River Union, are very anxious for transformation as the overall population are younger, official development assistance is declining, and global competition is more intense today. Unless we are able to put our own natural resources to work in a very effective, transparent and resulting way, we will not be able to achieve our transformative goals, President Sirleaf warned. She pointed out that this project being undertaken by the two countries is a major collaborative effort and hoped that during the discussions everything will be detailed and time bound. President Sirleaf then mandated the Minister of Lands, Mines and Energy, Mr. Patrick Sendolo to work with the delegation to ensure that the project is realized.
