Protest Against Liberia’s TRC Report

A group calling itself the National Consciousness Movement of Liberia has staged a citywide demonstration to protest the report released by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).

The group recommends the prosecution of former warring faction leaders and some of their associates as well as a thirty-year debarment from public office of certain Liberians including President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf for their support of the war.

The head of the National Consciousness Movement, Muna Kamara, described the report as 'evil genius and anti peace'. Kamara argued that the report is not in the interest of the Liberian people and any attempt to implement it will cause Liberians to lose the opportunity that has attracted many in the global community to aiding the country and that the international community may not take Liberia serious.
