Liberia: Political party to stage "One-Million-Man March" rally in Monrovia Feb. 4

Event

The US Embassy in Monrovia has issued a security advisory for a planned rally at the Antoinette Tubman Stadium in Monrovia beginning 08:00 Feb. 4. Further details have not been provided; however, the event may be linked to Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) political alliance campaigning for current President George Weah. Further events are possible nationwide.

Localized disruptions are likely. Counter-protests by opposition parties are possible. Police will likely deploy to monitor the event; widespread violence is unlikely, but isolated scuffles between police, participants, and counter-protesters cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid rally related events. Plan for road travel delays near rally venues. Heed instructions from authorities. If clashes occur, leave area immediately and seek shelter at a nongovernmental building.
