LIBERIA – More than a thousand people joined a demonstration in a suburb of Liberia’s capital protesting over economic hardships and the prolonged absence of President George Weah.
The president has been out of the country since the end of October, he’s visited Qatar to watch his son play for the U.S. Team in the World Cup and attended a U.S. Africa Leaders Summit in Washington.
Large protests happen sporadically during Weah’s five years in office but anger over his government’s management of the economy has grown as Liberians grapple with rising food and fuel prices linked to the Ukraine war and fallout from the covid-19 pandemic.
Many of the protesters wore shirts printed with the face of Alexander Cummings, who is challenging Weah for the Presidency under the Anc flag.
Some held banners reading “We are tired of suffering”.
