The Inter-Religious Council mediated the meeting between the government and the Council of Patriots in the presence of members of the international communityMONROVIA – The dialogue mediated by the Inter-Religious Council between the government and the Council of Patriots could not set a common ground for the calling off of the December 30 protest against the George Weah-led administration’s ‘bad governance’. Briefing FrontPageAfrica on the outcome of the meeting, Mr. Mo Ali, a ranking member of the Council of Patriots (COP) appreciated the Inter-Religious Council for mediating the meeting. According to him, the COP emphasized that the December 30 protest was necessitated by the adamant posture of the government to implement the recommendations presented in the June 7 protest petition. The COP was asked by the mediating body and the international community present to resubmit the June 7 petition to the government. However, Ali said the COP’s letter to the Ministry seeking permit to protest did not state it’s going to be a ‘Weah Step Down Protest’.
