MONROVIA – The Fula Community in Liberia has sounded a caveat against what it terms as “unjustifiable threats and attacks” on the lives and businesses of scores of its members across the country by “hooligans”.
In a statement issued in Monrovia on Thursday, May 27, the group condemned the recent vandalizing of businesses and brutal attacks on some of its kinsmen in Grand Gedeh County.
It can be recalled that a violent clash on May 18 erupted between some members of the Fula and Krahn communities in Zwedru over the death of a resident.
