Given the close and cordial relationship between Liberia, China and the two governments and peoples, we cannot keep silent while that country is in trouble. We all in Liberia know what our people say: When your neighbor’s house is burning, you don’t look the other way. So we use this opportunity to commend OXFAM (Oxford Committee for Famine Relief), the British NGO, for reminding us about the coronavirus. Remember, Equatorial Guinea gave the Chinese US$2 million, while Cameroon donated over US$82,350 to assist Cameroonians in China to cope with the crisis. The Liberian health authorities also need to tell the Liberian people what they should do to prevent them from contracting this disease.
