The Liberia protest movement is not deescalating – nor will it. It raises two fundamental questions – why is the December 30 “Step Down Campaign” gaining momentum, and what will Weah, or his administration, eventually do in response? No one knows what will happen in Monrovia on December 30 – not Weah, not his government, not the protest organizers. The Weah administration is deeply underestimating the tenacity of the protesters and the enormous levels of support they have across all segments of society. Political defiance and non-violent protests are the best weapons against any corrupt administration.
