Monrovia – Lorpu Flomo was only 17-years-old when she witnessed the execution of the 13 former officials of slain President William R. Tolbert’s government on the beach behind the Barclay Training Center, (BTC) by rebels acting on the orders of coup leader Samuel Doe.
Haunting, Horrifying Memory
Exactly 41 years later, Lorpu, standing at the site of the killings, says the incident is still haunting. “It seems like it was only yesterday. April 12, 1980, the day of the military coup when Tolbert was slain and April 22nd, the day thirteen members of his government were executed.”

The first thing I would like to do in this brief statement on the 40-year History of Liberia’s Daily ObserverNewspaper is to give thanks to Almighty God for giving Mae Gene and me, in January 1977, as we were coming to the close of our careers in Nairobi, Kenya, the idea of returning home to start Liberia’s first independent daily newspaper.
I remember vividly when we first started dating in 1970 that we conceived the idea of publishing a magazine in Liberia. We were not sure as to whether it would be one on politics or fashion or both. God blessed our relationship with consummation in marriage, on July 17, 1971. July 17 this year will make us 50 years married. To God Be the Glory! And thank you, Mae Gene!
