Liberia and Guinea have agreed to share security intelligence and to ensure that there is no trouble at their common borders.
The pledge was made at the weekend when a Guinean interior ministry delegation held talks with Liberian officials, during which they delivered a special message from the Guinean authorities.
According to media reports, the “Security Alert Information Sharing Meeting” was held in the northern provincial capital of Voinjama in Lofa County. Guinea was represented at the meeting convened to deal with security threats by Mr. Kankan Mory Camara and Zeze Sekou Koivogui of the Guinea internal affairs ministry.
During the meeting, the Guinean delegates underscored the need for the Liberian authorities to adhere to their solemn oath that their country would not be used for subversive acts against the people of Guinea, and reaffirmed their commitment to working with Liberia and not to allow their borders to be used to destabilize Liberia.
A Liberian official, George Tengbe reaffirmed Liberia’s commitment to working with Guinea to maintain peace in the Mano River sub-region.
Guinea is virtually experiencing a power vacuum, with the evacuation last week of the vice head of state General Sekouba Konate from Guinea to seek treatment abroad, and the health condition of head of state Captain Moussa Dadis Camara still unknown.
