In 1999, a second civil war was started by a rebel group called Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy in Northern Liberia. Taylor’s actions provoked this war which lasted for seven years. In 2003, a second rebel group surfaced in southern Liberia further escalating the conflict. The combined rebel forces shut down the country. In the midst of this chaos, Charles Taylor fled the country to Nigeria. During the summer of 2003, Nigerian peacekeeping forces under the United Nations and U.S. Marine expeditionary forces secured the country. The Govervance Reform Commission was set up in June 2003 as part of the deal to end the civil war. This commission was chaired by Ms. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf until 2005 when she ran for president. This fourteen-year civil war produced one million refugees and destroyed 200,000 lives.

Where does Dominion Restoration Ministries Come in to place

The honorable, selfless missionary, beloved mother, Rev. Ramona Ann Hookes was committed to spreading the word of God and helping others before her untimely departure related to Breast Cancer. For the majority of her adult life, along with her then husband, visited Liberia many times and led many efforts to help rebuild Liberia and contribute to the development of the upcoming youth.  Her sudden passing, left the work in a stand still. Her Eldest Son (Pastor William Antione Hookes, Jr) and Son in law (Evangelist Kalima L. Hookes) spearheaded Dominion Restoration Ministries and have adopted the work to see it through to the finish and provide support.
