The US Government’s statement is in reference to the ongoing allegation of fraud and irregularities which the Liberty Party is contesting with the NEC. “We note, however, that with rights come responsibilities,” the statement said. “The Liberian people and the international community have worked too hard and invested too much to watch Liberia’s progress stall,” it said. The United States, it said, remains committed to Liberia’s future and encourage Liberians to conclude the presidential electoral process as soon as possible to allow Liberia’s democratic and economic progress to continue. “The US Embassy in Monrovia was inspired by 1.5 million Liberians who expressed their commitment to and faith in democracy by voting in the October 10 elections,” the release said.
