By Amos HarrisLiberia’s political and security landscape is currently embroiled in a brewing controversy following public remarks by Atty. Her recent defense of a group calling itself the National Fula Security (NFS) has ignited a fierce debate over the boundaries between personal opinion and official government posture. The remarks have fueled public suspicion that the administration may be tacitly endorsing a group that remains unrecognized by—and unknown to—state security authorities. Both the Ministry of Justice and the Liberia National Police (LNP) have publicly distanced themselves from the group, stating they have no formal relationship with, or legal knowledge of, the “National Fula Security.” This contradiction has intensified concerns regarding policy coherence and the government’s handling of sensitive security matters. The title “National Fula Security” is seen by many as carrying coercive overtones that amplify ethnic mistrust.
