MONROVIA – The Government of Liberia has distanced itself the violence taking place in neighboring Cote D’Ivoire ahead of Saturday’s polls. The situation has already led a few thousands of lvoirians to seek refuge in Liberia and other neighboring countries, evoking memories of the 2010 electoral violence in that country. The government’s clarification comes in the wake of allegation on Facebook against Mr. Bamba Ousmane, one of the Advisors to President Weah, being involved with trooping mercenaries to the Ivory Coast. At the same time, the Liberian government reminded all lvoirians of the consequences of resorting to violence as a means of resolving their differences. “For us, there will be no election,” said Pascal Affi N’Guessan, a former prime minister and spokesman for the opposition.
