☆ Liberia votes in tight presidential run-off as many voters seek change
  + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Story Reuters | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Many voters said they were underwhelmed by Weah’s first term, which has been dogged by graft scandals and persistent poverty in Africa’s oldest independent republic. Both Weah and Boakai have received endorsements from candidates who lost in the first round. One significant unknown is the voting preference of the 6% of people whose ballots were invalidated in the first round. Any alleged irregularities in the second round could potentially fuel unrest, but there had been no reports of problems on Tuesday morning. “I am confident of winning.”‘A better Liberia’The vote is in many ways a test of Weah’s popularity.

☆ The Joy (and Friendly Jostling) of Jollof Rice

Jollof rice is a West African dish made with rice, tomatoes, onions, lots of peppers and lots of spice. Each one is the best and only jollof rice. An example: A few years ago, around Christmas, my colleague Helene Cooper prepared jollof rice for the Washington bureau of The New York Times. She posted a picture of her dish on the social media site then known as Twitter, calling it “the real and righteous Liberian jollof rice. West African pretenders with your rival nonsense, sit down.”Helene’s jollof rice won raves in the District that evening, but today I want to turn your attention to Yewande Komolafe’s jollof rice (above).
