How far has Liberia come in 30 years?

Jonathan Paye-Layleh reflects on three decades of reporting from Liberia

When Jonathan Paye-Layleh began reporting for the 大象传媒 in 1993, Liberia was in the middle of a civil war.
Jonathan filed stories from the besieged capital Monrovia, and from areas held by insurgents.
Over the following decades, he reported on peace talks, a second civil war and elections.
The country has changed immeasurably in the past 30 years.
Whereas Liberians still face their problems, the country is now peaceful and people have an eye to the future.
As Jonathan retires from journalism, he reflects on the progress Liberia has made since his first report in 1993.
