NGOs urge government to tackle critical problems

    ABIDJAN

    More than 50 Liberian NGOs have urged the government to restore international confidence in the country by addressing critical human rights and security issues. The NGOs’ “Mamba Point Declaration”, received by IRIN today, expressed concern that citizens “live in fear of the security forces” and “cannot report violations with confidence”. It invited the goverment to work with the NGO community in Liberia. Some of the most pressing tasks were the reintegration of thousands of ex-combatants and creating a “corruption free” environment for business investment.
