William R. Tolbert William Tolbert had quietly served President Tubman during five of his six terms of office and was at best considered a possible interim president.

Preparing for Mourning However, it was Tolbert’s reaction to Matthews’ act that was unusual. President Tolbert was doomed all because he would not let Matthews use the money he found in the safe at our UN Mission in New York. So it was Tolbert who was flying in the face of tradition by questioning what, even by Liberian standards, could best qualify as low-grade theft, if you wanted to make a big issue of it as President Tolbert had. www.copla.org /mourning.htm   (1652 words)

July 13, 2003 But with the brutal murder of President William Tolbert on April 12, 1980, and the establishment of a government under Samuel K. Doe, an unschooled army sergeant, Liberia began a long and tragic slide, one that has paused briefly but never truly ceased. Tolbert's ministers were strapped to telephone poles and executed with machine guns by drunken soldiers on a Monrovia beach. America's first opportunities to help Liberia came in the final years of the Tolbert presidency, when the ruling class, narrowly drawn from citizens of American descent, or Americo-Liberians, initiated reforms aimed at easing the stark and strictly enforced social divide between themselves and the indigenous masses, then known as aborigines. www.genocidewatch.org /LiberiaJuly13Tragedy.htm   (997 words)

A Vision for a New Socio-Economic and Political Agenda Tolbert opted to name then Methodist Bishop Bennie D. Warner, his friend of many years, and thus signaled to the indigenous population and the intellectual class that the minority Americo-Liberian ruling elites did not intend in the near future to share political and economic power, let alone allow majority rule. Tolbert’s contradictory phrase, "revolutionary speedy evolution", was emblematic of the quagmire he faced and that eventually consumed his administration. Under Tubman, Tolbert, and Doe, various laws were enacted to strengthen Liberia’s free enterprise tradition and give its citizens a major hand and voice in the administration of their economy. www.theperspective.org /2004/july/avision.html   (4556 words)

Apologize to Tolbert, Others - Says Bishop Innis The Methodist Bishop Dr. John B. Innis is urging the Liberian Government and those who took part in the assassination of former Liberian leader Dr. William R. Tolbert along with 13 former government officials to apologize to their families for the death of these people. Bishop Innis said these so-called progressives agitated confusion, which eventually brought down the government of William Tolbert with several lives being lost.

The Rise and fall of Samuel K. Doe By the time he was killed, Tolbert was a hero or leader to neither the young political class nor to the Americo-Liberian conservatives likes his brother Frank Tolbert who accused him of opening the floodgate of hell by courting with “natives”. Tolbert, who had been vice-president to Tubman for almost two decades, tries to change the political culture of the Americo-Liberian decaying dominance. Tolbert had thrown Baccus Matthews and others in prison and accused them with “treason and sedition” simply because they called for his resignation. www.theperspective.org /2004/sept/anationinterror.html   (2568 words)

MarylandRitualMurders10.htm President Tolbert’s daughter Wokie is married to ‘Shad’ Tubman, the eldest son of President William Tubman, whereas a deceased daughter of Tolbert had been married to a Yancy. President Tolbert, who certainly had been ‘close’ to a number of the ritualistic murders, which occurred during the Administration of his predecessor, started his presidency in a flashy way quickly introducing a number of reforms and changes. Both Tubman and Tolbert used Liberians of tribal descent, to broaden their political base and to compensate for the loss of support from some Americo-Liberian families by giving them high positions in their Government or even cabinet posts. www.liberiapastandpresent.org /MarylandRitualMurders10.htm   (1273 words)

LiberianForum.Com ~ Liberian Information Online Since the overthrow of President William Tolbert in April 1980 total grants to Liberia were increased from $13.8 million in 1980 to $51,5 million in 1981. Tolbert continued with the majority of Tubman's policies; however, unlike Tubman, Tolbert came to stand for closer links with the Soviet Union, a vision of cooperation with the states of the region and a belief in the Organization of African Unity. Among the leaders of Contemporary Africa, William Vacanarat Shadrach Tubman, President of the West African republic of Liberia, was a bizarre anachronism. www.liberianforum.com /history.htm   (7701 words)
