On 26 February 2010 there was an outbreak of religious based violence, with some fatalities, in the streets of Voinjama, Lofa County, near to the border of Guinea. Property was destroyed and it was reported that some prisoners had escaped.
On 28 February 2010 a police officer was murdered by a mob during the arrest of a member of a criminal gang in Monrovia. A Liberian soldier was also seriously injured in the incident.
The main security risks are violent crime and public order incidents. The former is a particular risk in Monrovia after dark. Travelers should not walk in Monrovia at night.
Demonstrations anywhere in the country can quickly become violent. The Liberia National Police, supported by UN peacekeepers, will respond to any public order incidents. Visitors should avoid large crowds.
Visitors should avoid traveling alone, particularly at night and to secluded places. The ability of the national authorities and the UN to provide emergency assistance in areas outside Monrovia is more limited. It is recommended that visitors do not overnight outside Monrovia. Visitors should check the security situation before traveling to any part of the country.
Travelers should carry photographic identification at all times.
The threat from terrorism is low.
