Both Liberia/Guinea security authorities engaged for cooperationThe Federation of Road Transport Union of Liberia (FRTUL) – Nimba Branch in collaboration with their Guinean counterparts, the N’zérékoré Branch, recently engaged the Guinea and Liberia border authorities to ensure the free movement of commercial vehicles. He, however, noted that the meeting was successful, as the Guineans agreed to ease some of the restrictions on commercial vehicles, especially the excessive fees. Also, both unions reached an agreement that allows commercial vehicles from both sides to transport passengers between Ganta (Liberia) and N’zérékoré (Guinea) for a flat entry fee. Queeglay said the movement of commercial vehicles was very smooth a few years ago, but that the continued harassment by border security officers on both sides elicited the meeting. “This meeting was very fine, because it brought in some high profile Guinean authorities and their Liberian counterparts,” Queeglay said.
