MONROVIA – The National Civil Society Council of Liberia is deeply worried about the growing wave of unprecedented human rights violations within the Mano River Union basin. This led to the resumption of protest, with the Lead Campaigner of the aggrieved Judiciary workers setting himself ablaze. This and other civil service-related matters must be timely resolved prior to the upcoming Midterm Senatorial Elections and Referendum. The National Civil Society Council requested ECOWAS’ direct mediation and enabling resolution within the context of human rights abuse and emerging political instability in the region. The situation in Guinea and Cote d’Ivoire is matter of extreme threats to Mano River Union community.
