Commentary


D’origine américano-libérienne, William Tubman, de son nom complet William Vacanarat Shadrach Tubman est né le 25 novembre 1895 à Harper au Libéria et est mort le 23 juillet 1971 dans une clinique de Londres. Président de la République libérienne de 1944 jusqu'à sa mort en 1971, il est considéré comme le “père du Libéria moderne”. Sa présidence est marquée par l’afflux d’investissements étrangers dans son pays et par sa modernisation. Le Libéria connaît alors une certaine prospérité. Il mène également une politique d’unité nationale dans le but de réduire les écarts sociaux et politiques entre Américano-Libériens et les Libériens autochtones. Toutefois, au fur et à mesure de ses années au pouvoir, sa manière de gouverner devient de plus en plus dictatoriale.
Of Americo-Liberian descent, William Tubman, whose full name was William Vacanarat Shadrach Tubman, was born on November 25, 1895, in Harper, Liberia, and died on July 23, 1971, in a London clinic. President of the Liberian Republic from 1944 until his death in 1971, he is considered the “father of modern Liberia.” His presidency was marked by the influx of foreign investment into his country and its modernization. Liberia then experienced a degree of prosperity. He also pursued a policy of national unity with the aim of reducing the social and political gaps between Americo-Liberians and indigenous Liberians. However, as his years in power progressed, his style of governing became increasingly dictatorial.

Historical background


LIBERIA - REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA

(since 1822)

The founding of Liberia in 1822 by an American colonization company with the aim of settling freed black slaves there marked the beginning of a malaise between the Americo-Liberians and the indigenous population. Twenty five years later, on July 26, 1847, Liberia became an independent republic. The suffrage allows the American-Liberian elite and the True Whig party to retain power for a century. The condemnation, by the League of Nations (SDN) in 1931, of the conditions of forced labor imposed on the natives by the Americo-Liberians on behalf of the multinationals of the rubber industry, will force the government to resign. In 1936, the new government banned forced labor. Nevertheless, the natives, deprived of the right to vote, remain second-class citizens. It was not until May 1945 that President William Vacanarat Shadrach Tubman granted the right to vote to the natives..
