Monrovia – Taking a cue from the Arab Springs and recent events in Algeria and Sudan, organizers of a June 7 protest in Liberia are looking to send the administration of President George Manneh Weah a simple message: Save the State. Said Mr. Costa: “President George Weah is taking us for granted; he ignores us, he is behaving as though he is a King, and we are his obedient subjects. Quite recently in Sudan and Algeria in 2011, protesters took to the streets to demand change. Mr. Jackson appealed to President Weah to resist the urge in listening to extremists like Eugene Fahngon, Deputy Minister of Information and other CDC supporters, who are promoting a counter demonstration. The April 14, 1979 rice riot is still regarded as one of the most violent days in Liberia’s history.
