	Stability in Mano River Union Region Tied to Situation in Liberia, Security Council Workshop Concludes
		The current situation in the Mano River Union subregion was indeed cause for concern, as the escalating violence in Liberia was overshadowing the recent successful gains in the Sierra Leone peace process.

		The Mano River Union States should be encouraged not to support rebel activities in neighbouring countries, and the international community should support their peaceful initiatives.

		Mano River Resources, which is listed in Canada as well as on AIM, is now reaping its reward for focusing activities on three of the most difficult countries in Africa.
		Earlier this month Mano announced that it had discovered a new kimberlite body on the Kpo licence in western Liberia which is the second of the three countries that make up the Mano River Union in West Africa.
		It is quite clear that Mano River’s policy of focusing on these highly prospective, but unexplored countries is now paying off in spades and the directors reckon that the region has the potential to develop into a world-class diamond, gold and iron ore mining province.

		In Guinea, the Union was watching the domestic situation closely, particularly the highly controversial referendum held in November 2001 and the forthcoming elections.

		That is why we believe that the Mano River Union Women Peace Network deserves commendations, because what the women did last week was a reaffirmation of their pacifying role in national, regional and international affairs.

		The Heads of State thus decided to rejuvenate the Union in order to enable it to attain its objectives of socio-economic integration and security by establishing a political consultation mechanism for security and reconciliation matters.

	Political Activities For The Attainment Of Peace And Development In The Mano River Union Basin
		Perhaps if the social, economic and political conditions in the Mano River basin were qualitatively different, the conflict that started in Liberia would not have spread so fast in the Mano River basin with nearly the same impact in every country within the basin.
		Therefore governments within the MRU were vulnerable, perhaps without knowing it, because of the illusion that the strength and survival of a government depend solely on its military capability.
		The way to change the orientation of civil society groups within the MRU basin from being perceived as pro-government or anti-government to being perceived as pro-people or people centered organizations is for the MRU civil society movement to embark on a vigorous process of providing political education to the people about governance in a democracy.

	TLP: Mano War
		The Mano River Union was established in October 1973 under the Mano River Declaration — initially between Liberia’s President William Tolbert and Sierra Leone’s President Siaka Stevens.
		Unfortunately, almost 30 years later, the Mano River Union has instead become synonymous with the interlocking conflicts that have devastated those countries and continue to undercut hopes for development.
		While the European Union (EU), UN and regional powers have all officially announced a policy of “a regional approach” to tackling the war, the international community has largely failed to unravel the interconnections and linkages between what is a single conflict — a continuous narrative of gradually intensifying regional fighting driven by power politics.
