Monrovia — A trending video circulating on social media has sparked national debate following the emergence of a group identifying itself as the National Fula Security of Liberia (NFSL). Legal observers note that the provision was designed to prevent the proliferation of private militias and preserve national security under centralized state control. The National Fula Security of Liberia (NFSL) is not an ‘armed faction’ or a ‘militia,’” the statement emphasized. “No ethnic group in our country has the right to establish its own security structure — especially one branded or presented as a form of ‘national security,’” Bah wrote. Bah emphasized that ethnicity must never be framed in ways that suggest separation from the national security structure.
