IPNEWS: The Alternative National Congress (ANC) unequivocally condemns the lawlessness and violence that erupted today around the Congress for Democratic Change CDC) headquarters. This incident is a stark reminder of the dark days of our past, and we must collectively ensure that Liberia does not slip back into the years of carnage and gangsterism.
In a statement sign by its national chairman, Lafayette E. Gould, the ANC firmly believes that there is a better way to enforce the law and certainly a more constructive way to react to disagreements. Liberia is a nation for all its citizens, not just for CDCians or UP partisans to engage in destructive confrontations. We must rise above partisan divides and work together for the greater good of our country.
We condemn the violence in the strongest possible terms and call on the government to act responsibly and fairly. It is imperative that an independent commission be instituted to investigate the fracas and make its findings known in the shortest possible time. The citizens of Liberia deserve transparency and accountability, and there must be consequences for such massive disruptions and the injuries inflicted upon our people and our State.
The ANC stands with the victims of today’s violence and their families. We extend our deepest sympathies to those who were injured and affected by this senseless act. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Enough is enough. We cannot allow our beloved nation to be torn apart by violence and lawlessness. It is time for all Liberians to come together and demand better from our leaders and ourselves. We must strive for a peaceful, just, and prosperous Liberia where the rule of law prevails and every citizen feels safe and valued.
The ANC remains committed to working towards a brighter future for Liberia. We urge all political parties, civil society organizations, and citizens to join us in condemning violence and advocating for peace and justice. Together, we can build a nation that we are all proud of—a nation where every Liberian can be assured of equality and justice.
