Ghanaian President Jerry Rawlings told a visiting Liberian government delegation today that Monrovia must end its support for rebels in Sierra Leone, PANA reported, quoting the Ghana News Agency. He told the delegation, led by Liberian Vice President Enoch Dogolea, that continued support amounted to a stab in the back for countries which sacrificed men, money and materiel to bring democracy to Liberia after seven years of war. Ghana, Nigeria and Guinea - which have troops in Sierra Leone - formed part of the troop contributing countries when ECOMOG was active in Liberia. Rawlings also said a north African country, which he did not name, was supporting RUF rebels.
