Rice issues have also contributed to Liberia's violent past, including its civil war.
Rice is eaten by millions of people around the world. It is Liberia's staple food and its shortage or news of its shortage in the country propelled the "Progressives" to seize the opportunity that lead to protests in 1979. A year later, it would lead to a bloody coup d'état in 1980 led by Master Sargent Samuel K. Doe. Rice remains at the heart of Liberian politics and it is a bread and butter issue.

VOL/Photo: This is a partial view of the E.J. Roye Building. Prior to Liberia's civil war, this building was used as the headquarters of the True Whig Party and a symbol of one-party and dynasty of the one party rule. The building has been in ruins for more than three decades now on Ashmun and Lynch Streets in the heart of Monrovia. Several citizens have been murmuring, and others have called out authorities of the erstwhile TWP and the government of the day to do something about this building, as it poses danger to people who use this route.
