The United States Embassy near Monrovia has issued a stern statement on remarks made in recent times by some government officials which, accordingly, have serious security implications and the propensity to impede Liberia’s progress. President Weah in the release warned government officials and all citizens to stop dividing Liberians along ethnic lines. Although President Weah said he is against divisive politics, there have been a lot of criticisms coming to his government against having more south-easterners in his government than any other region in the country. Moreover, the President and his lieutenants have raised the ire of citizens who have observed that most members of his administration and of the Legislature have yet to publicly declare their assets. Morlu over the past week also accused former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of financing the planned June 7 protest against the system of governance and the economic condition.
