"In a video recorded for UNHCR shortly before her swearing-in on Monday, the Liberian president appealed to hundreds of thousands of Liberian refugees in West Africa to return and take part in their country's rebuilding. 'Please be assured,' Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf said, 'that your government wants you home. It will work with you to resettle you in your community, identify employment opportunities, help you obtain those basic services that will enable you to live a normal life. Your other compatriots await you to join hands with them in the rebuilding of our nation.'"
