Africa Renewal: Can you briefly describe the security situation in Liberia when you first got thereLieutenant General (Rtd) Daniel Opande: I arrived in Liberia from Sierra Leone on 1st October 2003. I was determined to address the appalling security situation as my number one priority. I made sure they understood what I expected of them in order to restore peace and security in the country. Given the unsafe security situation at the timewith thousands already killed during the war were you not taking unnecessary risks? We had to engage the rebels and fighters from all sides to establish peace and security in Liberia.
