LNP vs AFL
Yesterday a big gathering took place at the stadium not to far from us. Two Nigerian actors and a Nigerian singer visited Liberia in connection to the Global campaign against HIV/AIDS.
Because of this the police (LNP) had set up roadblocks in fromt of the stadium. Though they let an offiial car through here and there. But at one point after letting a car through, they closed the block for a military (AFL) vehicle. Oh.... So apparently the guy in the car got vexed and said ”this is the 3 time you guys (NLP) are disrespecting us, one more time and we will come beat you guys” (paraphrasing acording to street word). Well apparently this was a bad thing to say, cause the police guy got vexed too. And somehow, I don't know if the army guy had gotten out of the car to argue, but anyways the word is that the police guy pushed the army guy... Can you imagine what hapend then. The army guy got more angry, and then another police guy came and pushed him again, and then somehow a fight broke out and someone got hit in the head.
Well word was send to the military compound, and they send two squads, one for the block at the station, and one to the junction next to it, and next to my house. So the army came to beat the police! And I am serious too. It has been confirmed. We (samiera and I) were coming from the market at the junction and noticed that the road was blocked ad traffic just keep jamming, but didn't get why the police didn't open for them to drive through. When we reached the house we were told by the news... They were advising traffic to find different routes.. Yes cause that is easy when you only have two roads to choose between... But anyways, I guess I am just very glad that neither the LNP or the AFL are allowed to carry arms yet. Only 149 police guys in a special unit and then the UN guys carries arms in Liberia.
But can you imagine, the police and the army fighting each other. It seems, well bordering to surreal. if the two government forces cannot get along... well, how can Liberians be expected to...? But they seem to do - for now anyway...
