B’hai Citizens Launch Union  -Grand Gedeh District Plans December Convention

MONROVIA – For years, B’hai Administrative District has spoken with many voices and seen little development. Its citizens now want one voice. They have formed the ONE B’HAI ORGANIZATION, a non-partisan umbrella for residents at home and in the diaspora. Community leader and former senatorial candidate Amos Zleh heads its Steering Committee. The real test comes from December 18 to 21, when delegates gather in Toe City. They are to sign a Toe City Communiqué setting the district’s long-term development agenda. Geography gives the plan weight. The district is the gateway into Grand Gedeh from Nimba and borders Côte d’Ivoire, as THE ANALYST reports.

Following extensive consultations with stakeholders across Liberia and the global diaspora, the citizens of B’hai Administrative District, Grand Gedeh County, have taken a historic leap forward by establishing the ONE B’HAI ORGANIZATION.

The landmark initiative creates an inclusive, non-partisan umbrella platform designed to consolidate community strength, preserve cultural heritage, and aggressively pursue a transformative socio-economic agenda for the district.

According to a press statement signed and issued by Mr. Elijah Komontey Gbarweay, Chairman of the Media and Publicity Sub-Committee, the formation of the organization stems from a collective desire to build on the district’s shared lineage, rich cultural traditions, and economic potential.

For years, fragmented efforts have hindered cohesive regional progress; ONE B’HAI marks a turning point to overcome those historical bottlenecks.

The Steering Committee is headed by Mr. Amos Zleh, a prominent community leader and former 2020 senatorial candidate for Grand Gedeh County.

“There is an unprecedented wave of excitement across our communities both at home and abroad. After years of fragmented initiatives, our citizens are answering the call to speak with one unified voice so that long-overdue development becomes a reality for B’hai District,” the statement noted.

Four-Day Toe City Convention

To formalize this new chapter, thousands of sons, daughters, delegates, and international partners will gather in Toe City from December 18 to 21, 2026, for the grand launch of the organization.

The four-day historic convention will feature a robust itinerary of strategic business sessions, storytelling, and cultural celebrations.

Delegates will hold a high-level assembly to debate regional priorities, culminating in the signing of the historic Toe City Communiqué, a strategic roadmap detailing the district’s long-term development agenda.

The gathering will also feature an oral history and heritage forum with esteemed elders who will trace the origin, migration, traditions, and socio-economic legacy of the B’hai people within Grand Gedeh County.

Additionally, inter-community athletic competitions, traditional performances, music, and social celebrations will take place to cement solidarity among youth and elders alike.

A Strategic Southeastern Gateway

B’hai Administrative District, comprising 12 major towns with its headquarters in Toe City, holds a uniquely strategic position in southeastern Liberia. Serving as the primary gateway into Grand Gedeh County from Monrovia via Nimba County, as well as sharing a vital international frontier with Côte d’Ivoire, the district stands as an economic corridor for regional commerce, agriculture, and cross-border trade.

The ONE B’HAI initiative aims to leverage this geographic advantage to attract infrastructural investments, enhance educational opportunities, and empower local economic networks. Massive mobilization efforts are currently underway across Grand Gedeh County, Monrovia, and diaspora hubs in the Americas, Europe, and West Africa to ensure a triumphant turnout.
