It is almost two decades since the civil war that caused many Liberians to flee into refugee camps ended. Although some Liberians have returned, there are still good numbers of Liberians who are yet to return because of fear of being neglected by society. At the event, a documentary was shown, depicting a difficult situation confronting Liberian refugees, especially in Ghana. In the documentary, Liberian refugees stressed that despite they have spent many years in Ghana and other countries, citizens of those countries are yet to recognize them as compatriots. Speaking at the event, the Executive Director of Liberia Returnee Network said Liberian refugees want to come back home but are worried about being accepted in their motherland after so many years of being in exile.
