Monrovia - It’s been 13 years since the guns went silent in Liberia, and Liberians are now enjoying a relatively peaceful country. Liberians are upholding the peace, thanks to the help of foreign partners that have contributed to the peace. A survey conducted by the Catholic Justice and Peace Commission (JPC) in March 2016 shows that Liberians believe that despite the 13 years of uninterrupted peace, the peace is still fragile and volatile as issues that led to war have not been adequately addressed. The report stated possible risk factors that could lead to renewed violence which include systemic public sector corruption, disputes over land ownership and high rate of youth unemployment. The report also stressed the significance of ensuring the resolution of land disputes through effective legal framework.
