#1 From it's origins, the entire concept of Liberia was from hell. Population resettlement and public housing seldom pan out as intended.

#5 As after the Black Plague. Labor prices go up. Supply-Demand, Manpower Shortages. I recommend importing a lot of Central Americans, there appears to be a surplus.

#6 Nope not Central America.

The ChiComs will be all over the labor supply. You can't stir them with a stick in just about any country with a pulse in Africa.
