By Alvin Worzi, Gloria T. Tamba and William Q. HarmonChief of Defense Staff of Nigeria, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin, has called on officers and leadership of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) to consider getting more involved in regional security efforts. He said the Armed Forces of Liberia should first see itself as part of the people in order to provide the needed services and support for security and the national development of Liberia. Daniel Dee Ziankahn, Minister of National Defense, said although he has transitioned from a soldier to a civilian, however, his commitment to the security sector, particularly the AFL, remains unbending. As a result, we have improved our capabilities and want to appreciate the men and women for bringing peace to that part of Africa. According to him, Liberia and Nigeria share a history of collaboration towards the attainment of continental and regional peace and stability.
