Monrovia, Liberia – Thousands of Liberians have taken to the streets in protest against President Joseph Boakai’s administration, accusing it of widespread corruption and economic mismanagement. The demonstrations, which have grown in size over recent weeks, reflect growing frustration over rising living costs, unemployment, and allegations of graft within the government.

Protesters in the capital, Monrovia, carried placards reading “We Demand Accountability” and “Stop the Theft of Our Future,” as they marched toward the Executive Mansion. Similar rallies were reported in other major cities, with citizens calling for transparency and urgent economic reforms.

Since taking office earlier this year, President Boakai has faced criticism for failing to curb corruption—a key promise of his election campaign. Critics argue that his administration has been slow to prosecute officials accused of embezzlement, while inflation and fuel prices continue to soar.

“Enough is enough,” said protest leader Emmanuel Johnson. “We voted for change, but all we see are the same old tricks. Our people are suffering while those in power enrich themselves.”

The government has dismissed the protests as politically motivated, with Information Minister Jerolinmek Piah stating that the administration remains committed to reform. However, opposition leaders and civil society groups have called for an independent investigation into corruption allegations.

As tensions rise, regional observers warn that Liberia’s stability could be at risk if grievances are not addressed. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has urged dialogue, but protesters vow to continue demonstrations until concrete action is taken.
