Letter from Saclepea: A Harrowing Encounter With Death

In a deeply personal account, Liberian writer Musa Hassan Bility has opened up about a harrowing encounter with death in the town of Saclepea. Writing in a letter published by Analyst Liberia, Bility describes a moment that he says will never leave him—etched into his memory not by choice, but by the sheer force of the experience.

Bility reveals that he and his wife share a special nickname for each other, a term of endearment that makes the story even more poignant. While he does not go into explicit details of the event, the narrative conveys a traumatic incident that brought him face-to-face with mortality.
