Liberia: Armed Militias Call for Resignation of Interim Leader

Liberia’s war-wearied civilians fear a return to hostilities as politicians squabble within the transitional government and the United Nations takes its time in deploying peacekeepers around the country. At the centre of this concern is the jostling for government posts. The scramble continues ever since the businessman-turned politician Gyude Bryant was sworn-in as chairperson of the power-sharing transitional government last October under a peace agreement signed in Ghana in August.
