Border guards in Liberia have been ordered to shoot on sight people found sneaking through the border with neighbouring Sierra Leone at night. The order issued last week took immediate effect in Bomi and Grand Cape Mount Counties in western Liberia and is seen as a countermeasure against the spread of Ebola.
Speaking in an interview with the {African Press Agency} on Monday, the Assistant Defense Minister for Public Affairs, David Dahn said the order was in line with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf’s drive to prevent further problems posed by the epidemic.
Dahn said the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Liberia, Col. Eric Dennis passed the order to the commander of the platoon-size AFL soldiers deployed at Bo Waterside.
He said it was prompted by information received from officers of the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization assigned at the Bo Waterside border with Sierra Leone that people were illegally entering Liberia from that country under the cover of darkness.
