WI: The Americo-Liberian Whig Regime never overthrown?

What if the 1980 coup d'etat had failed? What would Liberia look like if the Americo-Liberian Whigs had retained power.
 
There's no foreign power with incentive to prop them up when things go south, so I think their days were pretty much numbered by the mid '80s.
 
Isn't Firestone the only company that's got heavy investment in Liberian rubber? If it's just Firestone, I don't think they'll have sufficient sway to put pressure through US foreign policy. It would stink too much of the old UFC-style banana republic scandals.

Yeah I guess the only way to stop it is to get Communists in Liberia.
 
Oh I thought this thread was a DBWI about a pro-America Whig party in the UK, and the posts were confusing me like no other. :D Whoops!
