Liberia: Activists to stage protest in Monrovia Dec. 17
Activists to stage protest at Capitol Building in Monrovia, Liberia, from 07:00 Dec. 17; increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists affiliated with multiple groups, including the opposition Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) political alliance, have called for a protest at the Capitol Building in Monrovia from 07:00 Dec. 17. The purpose of the protest is to denounce President Joseph Boakai's administration and demand his impeachment. The number of people who will participate in the demonstration was not immediately clear.
Authorities will likely deploy a heightened security presence in the vicinity of the Capitol Building to monitor the protest. Transport disruptions will probably affect the surrounding area. Counterprotests may materialize near the Capitol Building. Clashes between protesters and police or between ideologically opposed individuals cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent the affected area and any disruptions. Allow extra time for travel in Monrovia. If violence breaks out in your area, immediately leave the vicinity and seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building. Adhere to all instructions issued by local officials.
