Charu ichi chili na mphaka na Sierra Leone kumpoto ca kumanjiliro gha dazi, Guinea kumpoto, Ivory Coast kumafumiro gha dazi, na Atlantic Ocean kumwera na kumwera ca kumanjiliro gha dazi. Chigaŵa ichi chili na ŵanthu pafupifupi 5 miliyoni ndipo chili na malo ghakukwana 111,369 km2. Nangauli chiyowoyero chikuru mu charu ichi ni Chingelezi, kweni ŵanthu ŵakuyowoya viyowoyero vyakujumpha 20. Msumba ukuru wa charu ichi ni Monrovia.

Liberia yikamba mu vyaka vya m'ma 1800 apo wupu wa American Colonization Society (ACS) ukagomezganga kuti ŵanthu ŵafipa ŵazamusanga wanangwa na vinthu vinandi mu Africa kuluska ku United States.[6]Pakati pa 1822 na 1861 apo Nkhondo ya ku America yikambanga, ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku Africa awo ŵakababika ŵanangwa ŵakakwana 15,000. Pachoko na pachoko, ŵanthu aŵa ŵakamba kumanyikwa kuti mba ku America na Liberia. Pa Julayi 26, 1847, charu cha Liberia chikamba kujiyimira paŵekha, ndipo boma la United States likamanya yayi kuti ni charu ichi m'paka pa Febuluwale 5, 1862.[7][8]

Liberia yikaŵa charu chakwambilira ku Africa kuŵa na wanangwa ndipo ndiyo yikaŵa charu chakwambilira na chakale chomene mu Africa. Pamoza na Ethiopia, ni yimoza mwa vyaru viŵiri vya mu Africa ivyo vikalutilira kuŵa na mazaza pa caru ca Africa. Mu nyengo ya Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya pa Charu Chose, charu cha Liberia chikakhozgera nkhondo ya ku United States na Germany, ndipo chikapokera ndalama zinandi za ku America izo zikawovwira kuti charu ichi chiŵe na vinthu vinandi. Pulezidenti William Tubman wakawovwira kuti vinthu visinthe pa nkhani ya vyachuma na ndyali.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo agha ŵakakolerananga yayi na ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Kru na Grebo ŵakamba kuwukira malo agha. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia ŵakaŵa ŵachoko chomene ndipo ŵakaŵa na mazaza pa ndyali. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵakaŵavya wanangwa wakuŵa ŵenekaya m'paka mu 1904.[9][10]

Mu 1980, apo boma la William R. Pa nyengo iyi, boma la Americo-Liberia likamalizga kulamulira charu ichi. Nkhondo Yakwamba na Yachiŵiri ya ku Liberia yikati yacitika, pakaŵa boma la ŵasilikari la People's Redemption Council. Ivi vikapangiska kuti ŵanthu 250,000 ŵafwe (pafupifupi 8 peresenti ya ŵanthu wose) ndipo ŵanyake ŵanandi ŵakachimbira mu vikaya vyawo. Mu 2003, pakaŵa phangano la mtende ilo likawovwira kuti paŵe maungano gha demokilase mu 2005.[11]

Mbili

Nkhani ikulu: Mbili ya Liberia

Ŵanthu ŵakwambilira

Michael Omolewa ndiyo wakasimikizgira kuti ku West Africa kukaŵa vinthu vya ku Oldowan ivyo vikulongora kuti ŵanthu ŵakale ŵakaŵako.[12]

Vinthu vya ku Acheulean (ESA) ivyo vikulongora nyengo iyo vikaŵirako vili kulembeka makora mu vyaru vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa. Ivyo ŵanthu ŵakulemba pa nyengo ya Middle Stone Age (MSA) vikulongora kuti ŵanthu ŵakamba kugwiliskira ntchito vinthu vyamabuchi mu nyengo ya Chibanian (~780-126 000 years ago) mu vigaŵa vya kumpoto kwa Sahelian. Ivi vikupangiska kuti ŵaŵe ŵacinyamata comene mu Africa. Kweni pali mphambano yikuru pa nkhani ya umo vyakumera vya mu nkhorongo vikuŵira. Ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu nyengo ya malibwe ŵakalongora kuti vinthu vikasintha chomene pa nkhani ya tekinoloje.[13]

Ivyo vili kulembeka vikulongora kuti vinthu vya ku West Africa ivyo vikapangika mu nyengo ya Stone Age (LSA) vikukolerana, ndipo vikulongora kuti mafakitale ghakupambanapambana ghakupanga vinthu ivi kufuma mumphepete mwa nyanja m'paka kumpoto. Vinthu ivi vingaŵa vyakukolerana na umo vinthu viliri pa charu panji umo ŵanthu ŵakutemwera kusangwa na vinthu vinyake.

Mu nyengo ya pakati pa nyengo ya Holocene, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakamba kugwiliskira ntchito vinthu vyakupangira vyakurya. Pakati pa vyaka pafupifupi 4.5 na 3.5 C.E., ŵanthu aŵa ŵakamba kupanga vyakurya, panyake chifukwa cha kukumana na ŵaliska na ŵalimi ŵa kumpoto. Ndipouli, ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mu vigaŵa vya kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Africa ŵakalutilira kukhala mu nkhorongo m'paka nyengo yikati yajumphapo.[13]

Kukura kwa mtundu wa ŵanthu ŵa Mande

Mu chigaŵa ichi mukaŵa ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakakhalanga m'ma 1200. Ŵanthu awo ŵakayowoyanga ciyowoyero ca Mande ŵakamba kufumako kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi, ndipo mitundu yinandi yichoko yikachimbilira kumwera ku nyanja ya Atlantic. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Dei, Bassa, Kru, Gola, na Kissi ndiwo ŵakaŵa ŵakwambilira kulembeka mu malo agha.[14]

Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakhwaskika chomene na kuchepa kwa Ufumu wa Mali mu 1375 na Ufumu wa Songhai mu 1591. Apo vigaŵa vya mukati mwa charu vikazgoka mapopa, ŵanthu ŵakasamukira ku vigaŵa vya mumphepete mwa nyanja. [14]Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakiza na maluso ghanyake nga nkhunjilira katoni, kupanga salu, kusungunura visulo, kulima mpunga na sorghum, kweniso vinthu vinyake vya ndyali ivyo vikafuma ku maufumu gha Mali na Songhai. Pakati pajumpha nyengo yichoko waka kufuma apo ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Mane ŵakapoka chigaŵa ichi, ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Vai awo ŵakaŵa mu ufumu wakale wa Mali ŵakasamukira mu chigaŵa cha Grand Cape Mount County. Ŵanthu ŵa fuko la Kru ŵakasuskanga ŵanthu ŵa fuko la Vai, ndipo ŵakachita phangano na ŵanthu ŵa fuko la Mane kuti ŵaleke kwizaso.[14]

Ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mumphepete mwa nyanja ŵakazenganga maboti ndipo ŵakaguliskanga na ŵanthu ŵa ku West Africa kufuma ku Cape Verde m'paka ku Gold Coast.

Chikoloni chakuchelezga chakwamba

Kwambira mu 1461 m'paka kuumaliro wa m'ma 1600, ŵamalonda ŵa ku Portugal, Netherlands, na Britain ŵakendanga mu chigaŵa ichi. Ŵamalonda ŵakaguliskanga vinthu na ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha.

Ku United States, pakaŵa gulu ilo likakhumbanga kuti ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakababika ŵanangwa na awo kale ŵakaŵa ŵazga ŵakhalenge mu Africa. Ŵakaŵasuskanga chifukwa cha mtundu wawo, ŵakaŵakananga wanangwa wawo wa ndyali, kweniso ŵakaŵakananga wanangwa wa kusopa. Wupu wa American Colonization Society (ACS), uwo ukaŵako mu 1816, ukaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵakaŵa ŵa Quaker kweniso awo ŵakaŵa na ŵazga. ŴaQuaker ŵakagomezganga kuti ŵanthu ŵafipa ŵangaŵa na mwaŵi ukuru wa kufwatuka mu Africa kuluska mu U.S.[6][15] Nangauli awo ŵakaŵa na ŵazga ŵakasuskanga ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa ŵazga, kweni ŵanyake ŵakawonanga kuti para ŵazga ŵaŵafumiska mu charu chawo, mbwenu ŵazga ŵaleke kugaluka.

Mu 1822, wupu wa American Colonization Society ukamba kutuma ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yakupambanapambana ku Pepper Coast kuti ŵakakhazikiske malo agha. Pa ŵanthu 4,571 awo ŵakiza ku Liberia pakati pa 1820 na 1843, 1,819 pera ndiwo ŵakapona. Kuzakafika mu 1867, wupu wa ACS (na wupu unyake) ukawovwira ŵanthu ŵakufuma ku United States na ku Caribbean kuti ŵalute ku Liberia. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa awo ŵakaŵa ŵanangwa aŵa na ŵana ŵawo ŵakatorana mu cikaya cawo ndipo ŵakacemekanga kuti Americo-Liberians. Ŵanandi ŵakaŵa ŵa mafuko ghakupambanapambana ndipo ŵakasambira ku America. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaŵa na mitheto iyo yikakolerananga na ivyo ŵanthu ŵa ku America ŵakagomezganga pa nkhani ya ndyali na Chikhristu.[16]

Mapu gha Liberia Colony mu ma 1830, agho ghakalembeka na ACS, kweniso ghakulongora Mississippi Colony na ma colony ghanyake agho ghakaŵa na boma.

Wupu wa ACS, uwo ukawovwirika na ŵandyali ŵakumanyikwa ŵa ku America nga ni Abraham Lincoln, Henry Clay, na James Monroe, ukagomezganga kuti "kuwelera kwawo" nkhuwemi kuluska kuti ŵazga ŵakhale mu United States. Wupu wakuyana waka uwo ukaŵa na boma ukambiska vyaru vinyake ku Mississippi mu Africa, Kentucky mu Africa, na Republic of Maryland, ivyo pamanyuma Liberia yikavitora. Ndipouli, mu 1862 Lincoln wakati Liberia "nkhukondwa waka", ndipo wakapeleka ulongozgi wakuti ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yinyake ŵalute ku Chiriquí, ku Panama.

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo agha ŵakakolerananga yayi na ŵanthu ŵa ku malo agha, chomenechomene awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo ghakutali. Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Kru na Grebo ndiwo ŵakawukira malo agha. Kanandi para munthu wasangana na ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa mu thengere, wakacitanga nkhaza. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia ŵakagomezganga kuti mbakupambana na ŵanthu ŵa mu charu ichi, kweniso kuti ŵali na maluso ghanandi kuluska ŵanthu ŵa mu charu ichi. Pakukhumba kuyezga charu cha South America, ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia ŵakamba kuvwara malaya nga ni masiketi na malaya gha ku msana. Ŵanthu ŵa mu vigaŵa ivi ŵakaŵavya wanangwa wa kuŵa ŵenekaya ŵa charu chawo m'paka mu 1904. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia ŵakaciska mawupu gha cisopa kuti ghaŵike maofesi na masukulu kuti ghaŵasambizge ŵanthu ŵa mu caru ici.[17]

Gulu la ndale

Malo ghakukhalamo Joseph Jenkins Roberts, pulezidenti wakwamba wa Liberia, pakati pa 1848 na 1852.

Pa Julayi 26, 1847, ŵanthu aŵa ŵakalemba chikalata chakujiyimira paŵekha ndipo ŵakalemba dango la boma. Likakhazikiska charu chakujiyimira paŵekha cha Liberia. Pa Ogasiti 24, charu cha Liberia chikapeleka ndembera yake ya vigaŵa 11. Boma la United Kingdom ndilo likaŵa lakwamba kuzomerezga kuti Liberia njambura mazaza. Boma la United States likamanya yayi kuti Liberia ni charu cha ŵanthu ŵa mitundu yakupambanapambana m'paka mu 1862.[18][19][20]

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Americo-Liberia ndiwo ŵakalongozganga charu chiphya ichi. Pakwamba, ŵanthu aŵa ndiwo ŵakaŵa na mazaza pa nkhani za ndyali na vyachuma mu vigaŵa vya mumphepete mwa nyanja. Mu 1865, ŵakalemba dango lakuti ŵaleke kwenda na ŵanthu ŵa mu vyaru vinyake.[21]

Ŵanthu ŵa ku Africa ŵakaluta ku Liberia, 1896. Mu 1904, gulu la ACS likatuma ŵanthu ŵaumaliro ku Liberia.

Kuzakafika mu 1877, True Whig Party yikaŵa chipani champhamvu comene mu caru ici. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaŵa ŵa ku Americo-Liberia, ndipo ŵakalutilira kuŵa na mazaza pa vinthu vya ndyali, vyachuma, na vya ndyali m'paka mu vyaka vya m'ma 1900. Kanandi ŵanthu ŵakasankhiranga maudindo mu chipani, ndipo para munthu wasankhika na chipani, vinthu vikendanga makora.

Boma la United Kingdom, ilo likaŵa na mazaza pa Sierra Leone kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi, na la France, na ivyo likakhumbanga kumpoto na kumafumiro gha dazi, vikachitiska kuti charu cha Liberia chileke kuŵa na mazaza pa vigaŵa vinandi. Sierra Leone na Ivory Coast, vyaru ivyo vikaŵa ku chigaŵa ichi vikaŵa vyawo. Ku Liberia kukaŵa kwakusuzga kukopa ŵanthu kuti ŵagwiliskirenge nchito vinthu vyawo vyapasi na kuŵa na cuma cikuru.

Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, vinthu vikamba kunangika ku Liberia, ndipo boma likaŵa na masuzgo gha ndalama. Pa Julayi 16, 1892, Martha Ann Erskine Ricks wakakumana na Fumukazi Victoria ku Windsor Castle ndipo wakayipa bulangete lakupangika na mawoko. Ricks wakati: "Nkhapulika kanandi waka kufuma apo nkhaŵa mwana kuti Fumukazi yikaŵa yiwemi comene ku ŵanthu ŵakwithu.[22]

Kukwambilira kwa m'ma 1900

Ici cikapangiska kuti boma la Britain ku Sierra Leone na la France ku French Guinea na Ivory Coast ŵambe kwenjerwa cifukwa cakuti vinthu vikalutilira kuhenipa ku Germany.[23]

Nkhondo za caru cose na nyengo ya pakati pa nkhondo

Nkhani ikulu: Liberia in World War I
Wonaniso: Liberia in World War II

Mu nyengo ya Nkhondo Yakwamba ya Caru Cose, caru ca Liberia cikaŵa cambura kunjilirapo pa ndyali mpaka pa Ogasiti 4, 1917, apo cikapharazga nkhondo ku Germany.
