Call at UN summit to scrap food export bans end barriers
Pakistan Dawn – Jun 4, 2008
With food prices at a 30-year high the UN secretary general warned that while the world must “respond immediately” it must also put the long-term focus on “improving food security”.

In a statement President Johnson-Sirleaf said: "This is a tragedy and a big loss for the entire nation putting a cloud of sadness over an event that was to bring our youth together to celebrate with our Gambian brothers and sisters in the spirit of sportsmanship. "The match was Liberia and the Gambia’s first Group 6 encounter in the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa and Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers campaign. Senegal and Algeria the group other contenders played a day earlier with the Teranga Lions of Senegal collecting a narrow win over Algeria’s Desert Warriors in Dakar. The Liberian team had a better run of preparation as compare to the Gambia and the expectations were enormous and every requirement to win at home was met as far as the public was concerned and with deaths the fans still couldn’t have their reprieve. The German coach unlike previous coaches received a fat three-month salary bonus and other remunerative support to prepare the team and was fortunate to play four international friendly matches and had a brief training camp in Casablanca Morocco ahead of the Gambian fixture. Anything less than a win for Liberia at home on papers puts the Lone Star in a difficult position of qualifying for South Africa and Angola in 2010 and sure it has. The team failed to rise to the occasion and each time this happens it’s the Liberian fans that suffer.
