MONROVIA, March 23, 2026 — Nimba County District 7 Representative, Hon. Musa Hassan Bility, has called on President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Sr. to urgently convene a broad national stakeholders’ meeting to address the escalating situation along Liberia’s border.
In a statement released Monday, Bility described the unfolding developments as a serious national concern that goes beyond routine security matters, warning that Liberia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity may be at stake.
“The situation unfolding along our border is serious and demands immediate national attention. This is not a routine matter,” he emphasized.
The lawmaker stressed that the responsibility to lead at such a critical time rests firmly with the President in his capacity as Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
Bility urged President Boakai to bring together key actors from across the political spectrum including government officials, opposition leaders, and other national stakeholders for a unified and transparent briefing on the situation.
“The country deserves a clear and transparent understanding of what is happening, and it is imperative that a unified national position is established,” he stated.
Describing the moment as one that transcends politics, Bility called for collective action and sustained communication to ensure that all stakeholders remain informed and engaged.
“This is not a political moment. This is a national moment,” he declared, adding that Liberia must avoid division and complacency in the face of potential threats.
He further called for the establishment of a structured communication mechanism that allows for regular updates, open dialogue, and collaborative decision-making in the national interest.
“On matters of sovereignty and territorial integrity, Liberia must speak with one voice,” Bility said.
The Nimba County lawmaker concluded by urging the President to demonstrate decisive leadership by rallying the nation and coordinating a unified response that reassures citizens and safeguards the country’s interests.
“Liberia must come first,” he asserted.
As tensions along the border continue to draw public attention, Bility’s call is expected to intensify pressure on the government to provide clarity and chart a cohesive national strategy.
