We're really not qualified to write with any authority on the fascinating subject of Secret Societies in this part of the world, (they're secret!) but we're hoping to get an interview on the subject soon. There's a bibliography here. Our correspondent out in Gbarnga (three hours North of Monrovia) tells us that in the runup to the elections last year, a number of area residents were "sacrificed" so that some of the more, shall we say, connected candidates could...um, eat.
