MONROVIA, LIBERIA-The International Community is calling on Liberian politicians and stakeholders to refrain from hate speech and disinformation.

The International Community in Liberia said political stakeholders have a responsibility to also refrain from violence and negative vices in the run up to the 2023 elections.

The statement from the International Community was triggered by a social medial piece which made erroneous claims about the state of affairs in Liberia.

In a joint statement signed by the UN Resident Coordinator, Neils Scott, the International Community strongly condemned any attempt to link it to allegations which would threaten and undermine national security.

The Country’s partners said statements contained in the well circulated piece have no connection with the International Community in Liberia.

It wants those behind the purported social media piece be held accountable for their actions.

Meanwhile, the International Community in Liberia has reaffirmed its continued commitment to peace and stability in Liberia.
