In this episode: Two months since police seized a container of weapons imported into the county that raised alarms about a potential coup we have the latest on the investigation.

The government claims it has reduced the number of people without access to toilets. World bank data says otherwise.

An international arrest warrant is in the works for the man who masterminded the trafficking of 350 Liberian women to Oman. His online history shows he started looking for Middle East partners to exploit Liberian women in 2018.

And we have the latest on war crimes cases in Europe and the United States.

Welcome to this special edition of Democracy in Focus, a collaboration between New Narratives and Front Page Africa. I’m Anthony Stephens. In this exclusive interview, I speak with Jallah Barbu, newly appointed executive director of the Office of War and Economic Crimes Courts. Dr. Barbu will lead Liberia’s long overdue effort to hold those who upended the country and left 250,000 dead, accountable at last. Just a month into the job Dr. Barbu has already faced a host of challenges, chief among them, a lack of funds. But he says he is honored to have the role and understands the weight of expectation he carries for the millions of Liberians still suffering the aftermath of the war.

Thanks to host: Korpo Kollie of Radio Kintoma in Lofa County Coming up in this episode … New data shows nearly 370,000 Liberian children are living on the streets. Many live a hellish existence of sex work and drugs. Access to toilets is still a big problem for rural Liberians. Leading to sickness and death of thousands of citizens.
