Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf says she felt "humbled" by
her Nobel Peace Prize recognition, but welcomed the honor as
recognition of a long struggle to achieve peace in her West African
nation.
She spoke to VOA's James Butty Friday in Monrovia:
Butty interview with Sirleaf:
?I?m very excited. I?m very thankful. And I?m also humbled to have
this award. I believe it is recognition of my many years of struggle,"
Sirleaf said. "But I also believe it is recognition of the Liberian
people?s quest for peace. And the fact that the past 8 years they have
all collectively maintained the peace.
"I particularly want to talk about Liberian women. I am getting this
award with Leymah Gbowee. And Leymah Gbowee is very deserving because
she mobilized women to challenge a dictatorship - market women, rural
women, professional woman, church women - and they sat in the rain and
the sun for days advocating for peace.
"We owe it to African women and we can just recommit to working harder
for equal opportunity for all women to reach their potential. I hope
we become the role models and that that will motivate and inspire
women the world over to go for leadership, to take a greater role in
their societies.
"I?m just honored. I am so grateful.?
