OPPOSITION TO THE PENDING DEPLOYMENT OF SOUTH AFRICAN
TROOPS IN LIBERIA TO SERVE AS PEACE KEEPERS IN LIBERIA
I am a Liberian writing from Ghana, and I would like to express my strong opposition to the pending deployment of South African troops to serve as peace keepers in Liberia. My opposition comes as a result of fear due to the HIV/AIDS rate among the South Africa population. It was announce yesterday by the BBC in which the South African Defense minister said that 1/5th of the South African soldiers are HIV positive. I am afraid that if the troops are deployed AIDS will spread at an alarming rate in Liberia, as the soldiers will definitely take Liberian girls as girlfriends. BBC we do welcome the moral and financial contribution of South Africa but for the sake of our people health, let the soldiers stay. It is better to solved the war of arm attack and bloodshed that man has control over, than to bring peace to Liberia and start another war on HIV/AIDS for which there is no cure. Please South African we do not hate you, you are our dearest african brothers.

Thank you
