Hundreds of Liberian citizens have taken to the streets of Monrovia in a powerful protest against corruption, government mismanagement, and worsening living conditions.

Men, women, youths, students, and market traders marched together with a clear message: Liberia is rich in natural resources, but ordinary Liberians remain poor. Protesters accuse their leaders of misusing public funds, failing to create jobs, and neglecting basic services like electricity, healthcare, education, and clean water.

In a country shaped by a painful civil war history, protests of this scale carry deep meaning. Many citizens say they did not come to the streets for politics or violence — they came because life has become unbearable and silence is no longer an option.
