“LIBERIA IS SAFER: BOAKAI’S WAR ON DRUGS BRINGS ARMED ROBBERY TO ITS LOWEST POINT AND STREETS ARE SAFER SINCE THE CIVIL WAR ENDED:””, Veteran Liberian Journalist Philipbert Browne Writes ✍️✍️

“Liberia is like Liberia's October rain that is uncertain and unpredictable. One minute, the sun's ray breaks through the skies, and the next minute, while the day is sunny, the rain manages to pe*****te both the clouds and the sun's ray, gives you a deserving shower, retreats back to the heavens, leaving you wet and miserable, and then comes Mr. Sun again, trying desperately to dry you and take you out of your uncomfortable clothes. This is Liberia, the land where tomorrow never comes. Yet in the middle of that uncertainty, there is a clear, measurable change on our streets that too few people are willing to acknowledge.

How can a president put all of his efforts behind the elimination of drugs and yet be seen and presented as the bad man? How come nobody is saying or talking about our streets getting safer and better, and that President Boakai is actually winning the "WAR AGAINST DRUGS" as he has made public whenever the need arises? The majority of us are losing focus. There are two civil wars taking place in Liberia simultaneously against drugs: our own war, getting rid of the local banned substances that are killing our children on the streets, and the war on drug trafficking to Europe and the United States. President Boakai declared drugs a national emergency in January 2024 and has since fast-tracked drug cases in court, expanded rehabilitation, and increased budgetary allocations for enforcement, border surveillance, scanners, and canine units.

Our focus has shifted from our own national priority — fighting the local drugs on our streets — to that of our foreign friends' priority: fighting drug trafficking into Europe and the Americas. Our national focus should be directed at the home-based drugs fight, but that has been subordinated to the agenda of foreign partners. But here is the catch and angle that no one is talking about. President Boakai has made the fight against drugs a national emergency and priority. He is fighting drugs fearlessly on two fronts, spreading his forces and resources thin but resulting in positive outcomes and impacts that no one sees, or no one wants to talk about for fear of being branded a regime collaborator. Since July 2026, his administration has also moved decisively after the seizure of nearly four metric tons of co***ne valued at over $300 million, dismissing and suspending more than a dozen officials, including senior figures at Roberts International Airport, a police commissioner, and an NSA deputy director, signaling that "no status, no title, no uniform, and no connection will protect anyone involved in drugs".

But the honest truth is, Liberia’s streets, judging and using Monrovia as a case study, are safer, more orderly, and less fearful of drug-affected youths committing countless crimes at our various street corners. The illegal phone-snatching ring that operated in broad daylight at the intersection of Carey and Gurley streets has vanished, and the illegal buyers have vanished along with it. The crowds of drug-affected youths that roamed the streets in gangster formation are no longer seen on our streets. For some obvious reason, even though I cannot put my hands on it, with less local drugs on the streets, those undiscovered dealers are afraid and have retreated into the cover of the night, while drug users are finding it extremely difficult to obtain local substances, which is resulting in self-rehabilitation and self-awareness. Security analysts note that dismantling trafficking networks requires targeting financiers and protectors, not just couriers, and that is precisely the direction the government says it is taking.

Before I take leave of you, I think I have just found the missing piece of the drugs jigsaw puzzle: the government has broken down the ghettos in and around Monrovia. Now I see why our streets are by far safer today. For the first time since the Civil War, residents in the capital are reporting a noticeable drop in street crime, with armed robbery incidents at their lowest point in years as drug dens have been raided and displaced. While international advisories still urge caution due to crime in urban areas, the visible absence of open drug markets and the cleanup of ghettos have directly reduced the opportunities for robbery and violence. President Boakai’s twin approach — attacking both the transnational pipeline and the local supply that fuels addiction — is spreading resources thin, but it is delivering the one result Liberians feel every day: safer streets.

🇱🇷 UPDATE: GOVERNMENT TO DEDICATE RENOVATED AITB HEADQUARTERS

The Government of Liberia is expected to dedicate the newly renovated headquarters of the Agricultural and Industrial Training Bureau (AITB) this Tuesday, marking another step toward strengthening Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across the country.

The dedication ceremony will be officiated by Vice President Jeremiah Kpan Koung and will bring together senior government officials, development partners, industry representatives, TVET administrators, instructors, students, and other key stakeholders.

The renovation of the AITB headquarters forms part of the government’s broader efforts to improve skills training, expand opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship, and better prepare Liberians for the demands of the labor market.

Under the leadership of Director General Abraham Billy, the bureau has been implementing institutional improvements aimed at strengthening its training programs and workforce development initiatives.

Government officials say continued investment in AITB and the broader TVET sector is essential to equipping young Liberians with practical and marketable skills that can help them secure employment, pursue entrepreneurship, and contribute meaningfully to Liberia’s economic growth and development.
