CAPE MOUNT – Bea Mountain Mining Corporation continues with the rehabilitation of major roads in project-affected communities and the Grand Cape Mount County. Road rehabilitation is part of the Company’s contributions to the nation by ensuring improved road networks in the County, which is intended to reduce the constraints faced by the citizens in transporting their goods and services from one location to another during both the dry and rainy seasons.

Over the years, BMMC through its Construction Team rehabilitated several roads such as the Beh-Gondor Road, Jenemana to Bomi Wood Road, Kinjor to Daniel’s Town Road, Kinjor to Jenneh Brown Road covering 16 kilometers, M’baloma to Lofa Bridge with 22 kilometers, Lofa Bridge to Gold Camp Road, Dagantee Road, Jikandor road and Malina road to name but a few.

Meanwhile, citizens of Grand Cape Mount County appreciated BMMC for the developmental initiatives undertaken by the Company in their respective communities. They further lauded the Management of Bea Mountain Mining Corporation for the initiatives, stressing that the intervention will address their aged old deplorable road conditions and will also reduce the huge transportation fare for citizens.

“Moving from one point to the other was a difficult task for us, but with the intervention of BMMC, plying the road has been easier than it was during the rainy season”. Peter Y. Dahn, a resident of Bomi Wood Community, remarked.

Besides the rehabilitation of roads, several projects are being implemented within Darblo, Mana and Laar Clans through Bea Mountain’s Clan Development Fund Program. Some of these projects are: the maternal waiting home and nurses’ quarter in M’baloma, Darblo Clan, a mosque in Koikor, the construction of a school in Gbenii, the construction a school in Bomi Wood, the modern clinic in Tahn, a clinic in Varguaye, and a clinic in Beh-Gondor Town, a guest house in Keita, Laar Clan, and a school in Wealiquah among several others.

Mr. Dahn also lauded BMMC for the construction of a hand pump in their town; stating that the Company has started the construction of a school in their community, noting that the project when completed will be a very great help for their children.

At the same time, the Chair Lady of Jenemana Tenneh Jasper commended BMMC for the road. “First of all, I tell Bea Mountain for fixing our road, the Company rehabilitated our road from Gondor Town Junction to Jenemana, and from Jenemana to Bomi Wood. The road used to be very in a deplorable state, especially during the rainy season, but for now we can easily transport our pepper, bitter ball to the market.”

Liberia's Largest Ethnic Group Urged to Convert Cultural Pride Into Measurable National Progress KAKATA, Margibi County — The executive director of Liberia's Environmental Protection Agency called on the Kpelle people Friday to transform ethnic pride into structured national service, proposing a six-point unification compact and a dedicated education scholarship initiative as the country's largest ethnic group marked its annual Unification Day. Dr. Emmanuel K. Urey Yarkpawolo, delivering the keynote address at the National Kpelle Unification Day celebration here, told traditional leaders, government officials, women leaders and youth representatives that unity without measurable outcomes amounted to flowers without fruit. "Celebration alone is not development," he told the gathering, invoking a Kpelle proverb: "Trees which bear flowers do not always bear fruit." The Kpelle people represent more than 20 percent of Liberia's population, making them the country's largest ethnic group, with communities spread across Bong, Margibi, Gbarpolu, Lofa and Bomi counties and extending into Guinea. Yarkpawolo said that demographic weight carried an obligation rather than a privilege. "To be the largest is a burden of responsibility," he said. "The largest must also be peaceful, organized, generous, disciplined, and committed to the common good. If the Kpelle people are divided, Liberia feels it. If we are united, Liberia benefits." A Compact With Six Pillars The centerpiece of his address was a proposed Kpelle Unification Compact structured around six commitments: rejecting county and clan division; preserving and modernizing the Kpelle language; committing to leadership and national service; educating youth and empowering women; protecting forests, rivers and farmland; and ensuring that Kpelle unity strengthens, rather than fractures, Liberian national identity. He also called on Kpelle leaders, professionals and members of the diaspora to establish a Kpelle Education and Scholarship Initiative targeting rural students, girls, vocational training, teachers and young people pursuing agriculture, medicine, environmental science and public administration. "No unification is complete if children remain uneducated and parents remain economically poor," he said. Language as Archive, Not Accessory Yarkpawolo devoted a significant portion of his address to language preservation, warning that cultural erosion was accelerating as younger generations abandoned the Kpelle tongue in favor of English at home and in schools. "When a people lose their language, they lose a library of memory," he said. "Language carries wisdom, prayer, history, place names, family names, and the soul of a people." He noted that ongoing English-Kpelle machine translation work demonstrated the language's potential in the digital age, but argued that technology alone would not save it. Parents, he said, must speak Kpelle to their children; radio stations must broadcast in it; and churches and mosques must use it in worship. He quoted Marcus Garvey: "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots." Women and Youth at the Center Yarkpawolo was pointed in his call for women's inclusion, arguing that any unity that organized men while leaving women behind had only organized half of the house. He cited the historical authority of Chief Suah Koko as evidence that Kpelle tradition had already legitimized women's leadership in difficult periods of Liberian history. "Kpelle unification must include women's leadership, girls' education, protection from violence, access to land and finance, and respect for women's dignity," he said. To youth in the audience, he said pride without education was dangerous and energy without direction could destroy. He invoked a line in Kpelle, translating it as a challenge: "Do not only say, I am Kpelle. Ask yourself: Am I honest, hardworking, respectful, learning, serving, building?" Land as Covenant Speaking as someone born in Gomue Village, Kpaquellie Clan, Zota District, Bong County, who said he began school at age 14 before eventually rising to lead the country's top environmental regulatory body, Yarkpawolo warned that the Kpelle homeland faced threats from illegal mining, river pollution, deforestation and unsustainable land use. "A people cannot claim love for their ancestors while destroying the land those ancestors protected for them," he said, adding that development through roads, mining and agriculture was necessary but must respect communities, protect water sources, follow the law and benefit local people. Naming the Divisions In an unusually candid passage for a unification address, Yarkpawolo named the specific fault lines he said were weakening the Kpelle: political bitterness, clan disputes, jealousy, economic inequality, the distance between Monrovia and rural communities, and disrespect for elders and youth alike. He referenced a Kpelle proverb — "If you are not inside a house, you do not know where it leaks" — and told the audience they were inside the Kpelle house and could see the damage. "Because this is our house," he said, "we must repair it together." The celebration was held in Kakata under the theme "Kpelle Unity for Cultural Renewal, Peace, Development, and National Progress."
