Residents of Foya and neighboring communities reportedly protested the action, which heightened tension in the area and created fear among civilians living near the border. The incident prompted the deployment of officers from the Liberia National Police on Wednesday as authorities attempted to calm the growing tension and prevent further clashes in the area. The development has since generated widespread public debate in Liberia about border security and the government’s response to the reported incursion by the Guinean Armed Forces. “The president should immediately constitute a national security investigation team headed by former Defense Minister Brownie Samukai to investigate and report to the president,” Flomo stated. “The government must demonstrate that it is capable of protecting Liberia’s borders while also engaging Guinea through peaceful diplomatic channels,” Flomo noted.
