MPC Calls for Calm and Diplomatic Engagement Amid Liberia–Guinea Border Tension

The Movement for Progressive Change (MPC), through its Political Leader, Simeon Freeman, is closely following recent developments at the Liberia–Guinea border in Lofa County, particularly reports that Guinean troops entered the Sorlumba area near the Makona River in a disputed section of the border.

According to reports, Guinean soldiers allegedly entered the area, removed the Liberian flag, and raised the Guinean flag, an action that has heightened tension and led to a brief shooting incident that reportedly left some Liberian citizens injured. While these reports are concerning, the MPC urges all parties and citizens to remain calm as the Government of Liberia engages diplomatically with the Government of Guinea to resolve the matter.

Political Leader Simeon Freeman stated that the MPC is deeply concerned about the situation but believes that diplomacy and responsible leadership must guide the response at this time.

“The Movement for Progressive Change is carefully monitoring developments in Lofa County. We call on the people of Liberia, especially residents of Lofa, to remain calm and peaceful while the situation is being addressed through diplomatic channels,” Freeman said.

Mr. Freeman further urged the Government of Liberia to handle the situation with seriousness, responsibility, and strategic diplomacy to ensure that the matter is brought under control without escalating tensions between the two neighboring countries.

At the same time, the MPC respectfully calls on authorities on the Guinean side to exercise restraint and caution in order to preserve the long-standing diplomatic relationship between Liberia and Guinea, two sister nations whose people share historical, cultural, and economic ties.

“The protection of Liberian citizens is the fundamental responsibility of the Government of Liberia. Likewise, both governments must work together to ensure the safety and protection of their citizens along the border,” Freeman emphasized.

The MPC also commends the people of Lofa County for their calm and peaceful conduct despite the controversy surrounding the incident and reports that some Liberians were hospitalized after Guinean soldiers allegedly fired live rounds during the confrontation.

“We applaud the people of Lofa County for demonstrating maturity and restraint during this difficult moment. Their peaceful posture is essential in preventing further escalation,” Freeman noted.

The Movement for Progressive Change reiterates that while diplomacy must prevail, Liberia’s sovereignty and the safety of its citizens must always remain a top priority. The Government of Liberia must therefore take all necessary steps through diplomatic engagement and appropriate security measures to ensure that Liberians are protected and that the country’s territorial integrity is respected.

The MPC remains committed to peace, regional cooperation, and responsible national leadership and urges both governments to work swiftly toward a peaceful and lasting resolution of the situation.

Yesterday's Missteps hunt Us Today

Former President Samuel Doe, consumed by his passion for Sports, created a Ministry for Youth and Sports in 1982. As part of its core functions:

1) Develop and implement youth opportunity program

2) Provide long-lasting options intended to
address emerging needs of youth in Liberia in a
sustainable manner in an enabling environment for the
promotion of sports.

The Ministry's current staff strength is 437(four hundred thirty seven). From 2023 to 2026, the Ministry have and will consume USD$23.9 million.

One of the Ministry's core mandates is to - develop and implement youth opportunity programs - though since it's establishment, Liberian youths are inundated with joblessness and hopelessness. There's not a single landmark program since 1982; developed and implemented by the Ministry, that has created opportunities for the youth.

Sports

We do not need a ministry to conduct regular national county meet tournament or run the national football team, a function the LFA(Liberia Football Association) can ably execute flawlessly. Even if we were grading the ministry by the performance of the Lonestar, there is no measurable return on investment, considering the miserable performance consistency.

Evaluation

It has become necessary to review our governance outcomes. Had we banked and lent USD$23.9 million since 2023 to Liberia's youth, the appreciable level of measurable commercial and economic push, would have had a huge impact on jobs and job creation.

Good intentions cannot develop Liberia. We must embrace and employ purposeful and intentional actions to reduce unemployment. The new trend is, if one is unemployable with a Bachelors, secure a Master's to become employable but sadly, Master's are still battling to be hired.

The goal of this Outlook is to create a new perspective for economic growth. Large governments or maintaining faulty structures are seriously undermining our forward March.

As President, youth economic empowerment will be my top priority.

Massive Urban Migration and Missing Industrial Base

Liberia's population is estimated at 5.85 million. Monrovia's population is about 1.85 million or 32% of Liberia's population. Urban migration is estimated to grow at 3.41% or about 63.000 persons annually. By 2029, Monrovia would have added 252,000 new residents, compounding the already over burdened housing deficit. Such increase will fast erode existing compressed infrastructure.

While these numbers are staggering, the government's failure to firstly:

1) Recognize the challenge

2) Develop and plan for it

3) Identify funding for the plan

Are the real challenges.

Possible Approaches

The following are possible solutions. While the below are not the only path that can be pursued, they represent some of the best alternatives, with proven success globally.

1) Government engages with the local private sector for a shared diagnosis of the real hindrances to doing business in Liberia. Some of the hindrances include but not limited to:

a] High taxes

b] High interest rate

c] Container clearance difficulty

d] High importation costs

e] High prices leading to low consumption

f] No money or stock market for easy capital mobilization

2) Streamline the process of accessing incentives for domestic manufacturing.

3) Leverage technology to reduce person-to-person documentation processing, a significant source of corruption and outcome delays.

4) Loan public funds to existing banks for specific private sector development at low interest rate and longer repayment tenure.

5) Create special nationwide economic zones with easily accessible incentives for both imported additives and finished products.

6) Use mobile money as a medium of payment

Educational Reengineering

At the tertiary level, we are too heavily academic focus and less technically concentrated. To resolve this, all county level colleges must be converted to a 2(two) year technical education with specializations. For example, Bassa and Nimba Counties could become centers for mining certifications, while B**g and Lofa concentrate purely on agricultural approaches. Churning out the right skills for industries is as important as the industry itself.

UL graduates about 1700 people and will produce double this number before the end of 2026. We may assemble more than 6,000 graduates in 2026 from various universities nationwide. The educational quality is another discussion yet private sector jobs are unavailable.

Conclusion

These, are but few of the measures, if leveraged, could create country-wide manufacturing and service jobs. To stamp the high tide of urban migration, jobs must become local to counties. Even with bad roads, the right domestic economic environment can spur a manufacturing renaissance nationwide.

The current public sector expansion for job creation will increase the wage bill, create bureaucrats and increase mediocrity that ultimately reduce the quality and quantity of public service delivery.

As President, I will leverage public resources to create a vibrant public sector.

MPC Political Leader Simeon Freeman writes 👇👇👇

“Factories or roads? Which one comes first“?

Liberia borrowed, spent and built a 249 miles Redlight - Gbarnga - Ganta - Guinea border road with USD$249 million dollars, under the LIBRAMP project. Years later, there's been no significant increase in the volume of trade between Montserado, B**g and Nimba counties. We are still repaying the IDA, Kuwaiti and Saudi funds out of our meager resources.

Those who argued that road connectivity would spur economic growth, may want to temper their optimism with caution and could also review the budget to appreciate the revenue flow to the national envelope from these investments. No doubt, Liberia needs roads and pave roads too but, it's a question of - when and how - should we approach road construction.

A recent study by the Liberian Senate estimates USD$7 billion is needed to pave 11,788 kilometers of road but Liberia's GDP is about USD$5.1 billion and we are already heavily indebted by about 56% of GDP. That's why the conversation about which comes first - roads or factories - is cardinal to our developmental conversation.

Factories first, roads second, is an interactive developmental approach that enables centers of production in rural Liberia. Roads must connect centers of production. Roads are very expensive, both during construction and after, so when roads do not connect centers of production, they place significant pressure on current revenues for past liabilities. There are too many examples across Africa to guide our strategy, Nairobi - Mombasa, Addis - Eritrea and our own domestic missteps.

While 265 pieces of road equipment are celebrated, operating the equipment will cost upwards of USD$90 million annually. We will need about 1200 new employees, fuel, pickups and SUVs, offices, parking location, repairs and maintenance and etcetera. We do not have the money. Providing such equipment support will withdraw funding from other import materials.

It's best to create the factories first in rural Liberia and before anyone suggest it's impossible to set up factories in rural Liberia, read our next submission on the economic competitiveness of factories in rural Liberia with bad roads.

Public resources must be leveraged to create private structures and then use resources generated from the private structures to build the roads connecting them. This significantly increases national output.

We must deploy our best minds for national development or fail repeatedly with mediocrity.

As President, we will use public resources to create a non-existing private sector for job creation.”

Good morning, fellow Liberians.

I am here on behalf of the Executive Committee and the members of the Movement for Progressive Change, the only political party dedicated to transforming our nation, which has faced challenges due to poor governance for many years.

As we honor our brave men and women in uniform, who work tirelessly to maintain our peace, we must also recognize that their families, particularly their women and children, are often left behind in the barracks. Their welfare is not prioritized, yet they remain dedicated to their duties. I, Simeon Freeman, would like to take this opportunity to wish all service members a joyful Army Forces Day, a day dedicated to celebrating your contributions. As you mark another year, let this serve as a message of hope for a brighter future. Keep saving lives; your well-being will soon be prioritized. As your future Commander-in-Chief, I wish you all a happy Army Forces Day.

Sincerely,
Simeon Freeman Political leader MPC.

Good morning, Liberians. Mr. Simeon Freeman, Movement for Progressive Change (MPC) agenda on the mining sector.
‎
‎The mining sector is heavily dominated by foreign actors. This trend replicates historical antecedents, thereby depriving Liberians of the skill set, managerial knowledge, and financial resources to participate in the sector. Under the Movement for Progressive Change (MPC) administration, Liberian participation will be facilitated, encouraged, and financed. This approach will enable a minimum of 25% Liberian shareholding in mineral exploration. Technology transfer will provide the skills, management capacity, and financial resources needed to ensure Liberians are dominant actors in both the local and international mining sectors. The Gold and Diamond policy will encourage the establishment of local smelters that add value to gold and diamond resources and strengthen local capacity. The selling of unpolished gold and diamonds will be rigorously discouraged.

Good morning, Liberians! Happy Sunday.
‎
‎Mr. Simoen Freeman's Movement for Progressive Change (MPC) agenda on the economy.
‎
‎The government remains the largest employer, with about 90% of civil servants underemployed. Almost all are in the extractive industries, and concessions possess little or no stakeholder engagement. Neither are concessions obligated to utilize local resources in the actualization of an investment. This leaves entrepreneurs or businesses vulnerable to foreign competitors and the resultant impact of the law of diminishing returns. Access to credit remains a huge challenge for local entrepreneurs, principally provoked by the very high 15% capital reserve requirement in an economy with short-term deposits or an absence of wealth. The cost of capital ranges from 15% to 25% per annum, depending on the lending source, effectively diminishing entrepreneurial capacity and lowering employment. The lack of blue-collar jobs or a middle class can be principally blamed on the following:
‎
‎1. Lack of educational institutions creating technical competencies.
‎
‎2. Unwillingness of the government to create opportunities for local businesses.
‎
‎3. The very high interest rates on Liberian businesses.
‎
‎4. Prioritization of spending on public administrative structures over job creation infrastructure.
‎
‎While unemployment persists, Liberians are consumed by hopelessness, caged by poverty, and strangled by deprivation, thereby yielding teenage pregnancy, increased illiteracy, an increased crime rate, a high rate of high school and college dropouts, a high maternal mortality rate, and less than 1% of the population having access to electricity and piped-born water.
‎
‎All of these issues are compounded by an extremely deplorable road network, evidenced by less than 400 miles of asphalt-paved road.
‎
‎The Movement for Progressive Change government will install the best social macroeconomic policies to end these long-standing challenges facing our people that the CDC and Unity Party governments failed to address issues affecting our people, all our people see every day are mass corruption, wastefulness, and a lack of leadership. They have subjected our country's economy to rising prices of rice, gasoline, and transportation costs, defining this as a booming economy. What a mediocre way of thinking!

07/02/2026

The national budget ought to reflect the living standards of the populace by prioritizing essential services such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education, which should be incorporated into the Public Sector Investment Program (PSIP). However, within the allocated budget of 1.5 billion, only 250 million is designated for the PSIP, with 500 thousand of that amount earmarked for the Ministry of State for Presidential Affairs. This raises concerns regarding the remaining funds available for developmental initiatives, thereby necessitating the country's reliance on international partners for support. Consequently, a significant portion of the budget is diverted towards salaries and benefits for government officials.

Mr. Simeon Freeman contends that this allocation represents a significant misappropriation of taxpayer funds.
