The Alternative National Congress (ANC), has strongly condemned what its termed the “increasing acts of state-sponsored violence” which have come to characterize our political space.

The ANC forcefully said the ghastly attack on the residence of Hon. Yekeh Kolubah, a stalwart of the ANC and Montserrado County District #10 Representative in the National Legislature of the Republic of Liberia.

“This is unacceptable and counterproductive to the maintenance of peace and tranquility for the benefit of the people of Liberia”, a release from the ANC adds.

The ANC says that the constant attacks on Hon. Kolubah are unbecoming and must stop.

This recent attack on Rep. Kolubah, an opposition figure immediately follows the unprovoked police action against supporters of the opposition Collaborating Political Parties (CPP) on Friday, September 25, 2020 at the Liberty Party HQ.

These incidents and many others further prove that opposition partisans have no protection under our law.

The party called leaders and members of other political parties, civil society organizations, and our international partners (representatives of UN, AU, ECOWAS, EU and US government) that have worked tirelessly to secured the fragile peace in Liberia to impress upon the CDC-led government to stop these acts of political violence.

“We also call for the conduct of full independent investigation of the situation and put the Liberian government on notice that it will bear full responsibility for any breakdown of the peace”, the party said in a staement.
