Monrovia – Lorpu Flomo was only 17-years-old when she witnessed the execution of the 13 former officials of slain President William R. Tolbert’s government on the beach behind the Barclay Training Center, (BTC) by rebels acting on the orders of coup leader Samuel Doe.
Haunting, Horrifying Memory
Exactly 41 years later, Lorpu, standing at the site of the killings, says the incident is still haunting. “It seems like it was only yesterday. April 12, 1980, the day of the military coup when Tolbert was slain and April 22nd, the day thirteen members of his government were executed.”

BOSTON Governor Charlie Baker renewed the Baker-Polito Administration’s commitment to support military families transferring to Massachusetts military installations. The Executive Order signed by Governor Baker directs the Division of Professional Licensure (DPL) to improve license portability for military personnel and their spouses so that they can continue their civilian careers and provide for their families without interruption.
“This order makes the process of transferring professional licenses simpler for military personnel and their spouses arriving in Massachusetts,”
said Governor Baker. “I want to thank the Department of Defense and the Air Force for their leadership on this important issue and I look forward to finding new ways to help the members of the Armed Forces across all branches and their families as they start the next chapter of their lives in the Commonwealth.”
