Liberia: Activists plan protest in Monrovia June 16
Anti-government activists plan protest at Ministry of Finance in Monrovia, Libera, June 16. Disruptions likely, skirmishes possible.
Event
The National Revolutionary Movement of Liberia civil society group has called for a protest at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning in Monrovia June 16. Organizers did not provide the gathering time. The action is to denounce violations of financial regulations allegedly committed by Finance Minister Samuel Tweah.
The event will likely be well attended, along with an increased security presence, likely causing road traffic disruptions in the vicinity of the ministry. Skirmishes between protesters and police remain possible given the anti-government nature of the protest.
Advice
Avoid the affected area and plan accordingly for ground travel disruptions. Heed the instructions of local authorities. Depart the area at the first sign of a confrontation.
