Kuly Teddy Doe, son of the late President Samuel Kanyon Doe, has returned to Liberia for the first time in 35 years, marking an emotional moment for both him and many who closely followed the nation’s turbulent past. He arrived in Monrovia on Sunday, November 30, 2025, describing his homecoming as a long-awaited reconnection with the land he left as a five-year-old boy.
Speaking to journalists shortly after landing, Kuly said his return carries a renewed sense of purpose: to contribute meaningfully to national development and to stand alongside his siblings in launching the Samuel K. Doe Legacy Foundation, a humanitarian initiative aimed at “giving back to the needy and honoring the legacy” of their father.
He noted that the foundation will place strong emphasis on community development, outreach programs, and support for vulnerable populations across the country.
“In the coming days, I will be meeting with government officials and making preparations for an official trip to Grand Gedeh County,” he said. “This visit is important to me, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with my people and my family.”
Kuly joins his siblings, Celeu Doe and Mathew Doe, who have also made their way back to Liberia after extended periods abroad.
The Samuel K. Doe Legacy Foundation is expected to begin rolling out its first set of humanitarian activities following nationwide consultations and engagement meetings with local communities and authorities.
