I am constantly looking for blogs on Liberia that are updated regularly and more than news feeds.
Currently I only know of three:
- Glenna Gordon’s blog. Glenna is a photographer and writer based in Monrovia. She posts great pictures and original content.
- Myles Estey’s blog. Myles is a freelance journalist based in Monrovia.
- Dr. Fred van der Kraaij’s blog. Dr. van der Kraaij works for the Dutch government in The Netherlands. He taught at University of Liberia in the 1970s. He blogs about Liberian politics, and recently did some blogging from Charles Taylor’s trial at The Hague. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf cites him many times in her memoir.
Am I missing any? Especially any Liberians who blog regularly?

Hello Shelby,
Thanks for mentioning my blog.
I just wanted to draw your attention to Emmanuel’s blog ‘Liberia and Friends of Liberia. The rants and concerns of a proud Liberian’. Emmanuel resides in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. He regularly blogs about topics of common interest and his blog contains a number of very interesting historical movies.

Greetings, Fred
Apologies, Shelby (and Emmanuel), in my previous comments I made a mistake when referring to Emmanuel’s blog, its correct title is: ‘Liberia and Friends Journal. The rants and concerns of a proud Liberian.’.
