Ma Ellen surely deserve this prestige award in that she continue to respect
almost every democratic principles including but not limited to religious and ethnic tolerence;as a member of the mandingo ethinic group, we were subjected to bearable ethnic hatred before Ma Ellen took over the leadership of Liberia, the extreme anti-mandingoism practiced by most Liberians from other ethnic background has drastically,and religious descriptions against the muslims in Liberia has also reduced substantially.

I am therefore appealing to the international to support the Ellen led in all of her efforts in making Liberia a vibrant nation. she has already created liberia's international but still 6 years is not enough for her to complete what she has started for the next generation of liberia's leadership.
