Monrovia-The Center for Human Rights and Democracy (CeHRD) has called on the Government of Liberia to revisit and strengthen its National Security Strategy to prevent future border tensions and safeguard national sovereignty. Webster Clayeh, [email protected]On Thursday, the Center for Human Rights and Democracy urged the Liberian government to strengthen, expand, and build the capacity of national security institutions to deter further violations within its territory. “We recommend an urgent revisit to Liberia National Security Strategy, particularly strengthening; expanding and building capacity of national security institutions to project deterrence against future threats to Liberia’s cherishing values,” Madam Sleyon said. The Mano River Union (MRU) was established in 1973 by Liberia and Sierra Leone, later expanding to include Guinea in 1980 and Côte d’Ivoire in 2008. The organization also welcomed the Liberian government’s decision to suspend unilateral mining along the Makona River but called for further action.
