Government denies existence of RUF training camps

    ABIDJAN

    Meanwhile, the Liberian government has said there are no training camps in Liberia for Revolutionary United Front (RUF) rebels from Sierra Leone, Star radio reported. The denial followed an accusation by Sierra Leone Finance Minister Dr James Jonah that there are five training camps for rebels fighting the government in Sierra Leone. In a statement, Liberian Information Minister Joe Mulbah described the allegation as “baseless”. Three Liberian parliamentary committees are to review the situation in Sierra Leone, the radio added.
