Liberia: Counting Liberia's "other" refugees

They came to Liberia at a time when hundreds of thousands of people were fleeing. Some were here even before the civil war started in 1989, and stayed throughout the 14-year conflict. Today, amid the mass return to Liberia, these refugees are ready to stand and be counted. In addition to Sierra Leoneans, Monrovia also hosts a mix of nationalities – Algerians, Congolese, Ghanaians, Ivorians, Nigerians, Rwandans, Somalis, Sudanese, Togolese and Ugandans. The UN refugee agency is currently registering refugees around the Liberian capital.
