Monrovia
- U.S. Ambassador to Liberia Deborah R. Malac has suggested that the
American government prefers a less forceful role by the Liberian
military in the ongoing Ebola crisis in the post-war nation.Addressing a news conference in Monrovia today, Ambassador Malac stated: “We would like to see the AFL not being involved in a law enforcement role. They have an appropriate role, in this Ebola response as does the LNP, BIN and other security agencies because there is a security aspect in other cases to this response. But the AFL was intended to be an external defense force to external threats. We hope that they will start to see more activity on the part of the LNP and that they will continue to lead on the security aspect of this Ebola response. We look forward to seeing the results of the investigation.”
Ambassador Malac’s statement comes in the aftermath of the recent shooting of 15-year-old Shaki Kamara during a riots in West Point.
