Abstract

This article addresses the development of the acrimonious relationships between freed Black American slaves who settled in Liberia, and their African hosts. The superiority complex of the former made them have derogatory views about their hosts, while the latter, who initially welcomed the repatriates, loathed them for being arrogant descendants of slaves. The sequential transgressions committed against the indigenous people, by the settler class, degenerated to an apartheid situation. Principally, their agonizing experiences revolved around land ownership and inequity. Despite the desolation, the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) ignored human rights abuses that were identical with what it denounced in other parts of colonial Africa. However, despite the tragedies they had grappled with, enough precautionary measures are not in place to nip other potentially volatile situations in the bud. In conclusion, the write-up, through qualitative verification of facts, highlighted how problems of finance, education, superiority complex, greed and avarice and duplicity of African politicians complicated the Liberian situation.

Özet

Bu makale Liberya’ya yerleşen özgür siyahi Amerikalı köleler ile Afrikalı ev sahipleri arasındaki acımasız ilişkilerin gelişimini incelemektedir. Siyahi kölelerin üstünlük kompleksi, onların ev sahipleri hakkında aşağılayıcı görüşlere sahip olmasına yol açarken, başlangıçta geri dönenleri memnuniyetle karşılayan ev sahipleri, kölelerin küstah torunları oldukları için onlardan nefret ediyordu. Yerli halk tarafından, yerleşimci sınıfa peş peşe yapılan kural çiğnemeler, ayrışmacı bir duruma yol açmıştı. Esasen, acı veren deneyimleri arazi mülkiyeti ve eşitsizliği etrafında dönüyordu. Terk edilmişliğe rağmen, Afrika Birliği Örgütü, sömürge Afrika’nın diğer bölgelerinde kınadıklarıyla aynı olan insan hakları ihlallerini göz ardı etti. Bununla birlikte, boğuştukları trajedilere rağmen, filizlenmekte olan diğer potansiyel olarak uçucu durumları kırpmak için yeterli tedbirler mevcut değildi. Sonuç olarak, kaleme aldığım yazı, olguların nitel olarak doğrulanması yoluyla, finans, eğitim, üstünlük kompleksi, açgözlülük, hırs ve sorunları Afrikalı siyasetçilerin Liberya durumunu nasıl karmaşık hale getirdiğini vurgulamaktadır.
