Posted by Carolyn Ziv   Chief Elder Cheo “Even if you were to bring guns and machetes, we would still stand for our land.

And judging by his clan’s success in preventing a powerful multinational company from expanding onto their territory, he means it. *** Standing over 6 feet tall and dressed in his traditional regalia, Chief Elder Cheo cuts an imposing figure during a village meeting in Blayah Town, Liberia. Speaking emphatically in Bassa—the name of both the local dialect and his people’s tribe—he has the air of a strict parent imparting an important lesson to his children. But then Cheo’s stern expression softens, his face collapses into a broad smile...

A grand jury indicted Tyler, other government officials, a Liberian businessman and a foreign mining company in May following a report by London-based advocacy group Global Witness. “We are cognizant that the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
