The Liberia protest movement is not deescalating – nor will it. 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. Negotiations are not a realistic way to remove a democratically elected government in the absence of powerful opposition. Political defiance and non-violent protests are the best weapons against any corrupt administration.
