He noted that all actions taken in response to the crisis must remain within the bounds of the law. In addition, he called on the government to prioritize national defense infrastructure, particularly the reconditioning of Camp Naama in Zota, Bong County, which he said has historical significance in safeguarding the country’s northern border. The Liberia-Guinea border tension has deep historical roots, stemming from poorly demarcated boundaries established during the colonial era. Regional efforts to ease tensions have included mediation through the Mano River Union, involving Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, where leaders have emphasized dialogue, cooperation, and non-aggression as key to maintaining stability in the sub-region. He stressed that Liberia will continue to work with regional and international partners to resolve the dispute without resorting to violence.
