Disabled ex-fighters want help to resettle

    ABIDJAN
    Liberia's disabled former fighters want the international community to help them resettle in their regions, Eric Myers, chairman of the Ex-combatant Alliance of Liberia, told IRIN. Disabled ex-combatants want to return to their home areas and to be given a resettlement package to help them become reintegrated into society, Myers said. He said his Alliance included people from throughout Liberia who fought in all the country's former warring factions. "We want medical care, housing facilities and education," he added.
