Conspicuous Silence Over Attack on Opposition Figures in Grand Gedeh Does Not Bode Well for Liberia’s Immediate FutureDELIVERING HIS special message on the occasion of the observance of the 173 Independence Anniversary of Liberia, President George Weah called on Liberians to put aside their political, religious and social differences for the good of the country. A WEEK LATER, the country President Weah governs was plunged into yet another violent turn, dealing a painful reminder of Liberia’s bitter past, just when the post-war nation is nurturing its bourgeoning democracy. PRESIDENT WEAH owes it to Liberia as its leader to put his officials in check, especially within close proximity to him.

THE WEAH ADMINISTRATION must sanction a fair and impartial investigation and erase the perceptions in the air that it approved of the attacks on the opposition figures.
