Liberia's TRC Recommends President Resign

Liberians call her "Ellen," and to both admirers and critics, she's the "Iron Lady." Now, Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission calls for Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to resign. Today, after three years of hearing testimony from thousands affected by the country's 14 year-long civil war, the TRC released its final report. Among its recommendations are that Africa's current – and first female president –be banned from office for 30 years.
