Liberian government condemns unruly behaviour of its
citizens in Ghana
Accra, March 18, Ghanadot/GNA - The Liberian President, Mrs
Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf
on Tuesday dissociated the country from the "unruly" conduct
of some Liberian refugees in Ghana.
This is contained in a statement issued in Accra by the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and NEPAD,
through the Ghana Embassy in Monrovia.
The Liberian leader conveyed to President John Agyekum
Kufuor the country's "sincerest apologies for the unruly
behaviour exhibited by some Liberian refugees at the
Budumburam Camp and disassociated itself from the gross
misconduct of the group of refugees."
President Johnson-Sirleaf recalled that Ghana had always
stood firmly by Liberia through its turbulent times and that
Liberia appreciated Ghana's various roles in supporting
Liberia out of her challenging economic and political
situation.
She stressed that Liberia would not allow any group of
people to ruin the mutually rewarding relationship between
Ghana and Liberia, which dated to the pre-colonial period.
The message further stated that in demonstration of its
commitment to expeditiously resolve the matter, the Liberia
Government was putting together a high-powered delegation to
be joined by the Liberian Ambassador in Ghana, to meet all
stakeholders and address the situation.
The delegation would arrive in Ghana on March 26, 2008.
