The Government of Liberia has expressed concern about news reports of recent attacks in border towns and villages along the border between Liberia and La Cote D'Ivoire.
The Liberia News Agency, quoting a statement issued Sunday by Information Minister Lewis G. Brown, said "Consistent with the policies of good neighborliness and a commitment to regional peace and security, the relevant Liberian security agencies are seriously investigating the reports as well as engaging their Ivorian counterparts."
The Liberian government says it is "fully committed to working with and supporting the Ivorian authorities and international partners in strengthening border security, regional peace and stability, as well as raiding the two countries of the mutually destabilizing activities of non-state actors."
