2) Liberia;  wow! Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf is now President-elect; their former finance minister - you go girl!

It is very reassuring, let's hope this helps the political atmosphere settle down in Liberia.

Fingers crossed that she can make real improvements for her people!

I saw her in an interview yesterday and got the impression she'll meet some resistance from some traditionalists but the women of Liberia  and other African countries will see their lives improve.

A promising sign for women in Africa!
