Hundreds of Liberians from all walks of life are gathering at Capitol Hill in Monrovia in a growing demonstration against the country’s worsening drug crisis.
The protest, which includes both young and elderly citizens, is calling for immediate and concrete action from national leaders to curb the rise in drug abuse and trafficking that continues to destroy lives and communities across Liberia.
Waving placards and chanting slogans, the peaceful demonstrators are demanding tougher enforcement measures, expanded rehabilitation programs, and stronger border security to prevent the flow of illicit drugs into the country.
The protest, taking place at the heart of the Liberian government, underscores a deepening public frustration and an urgent call for change.
Organizers say the presence of older citizens alongside young people highlights the national scope of the crisis, emphasizing that drug abuse is no longer just a youth issue, but a societal problem that demands collective action.
