Liberia: Widows of Fallen Soldiers Protest for Months Pension Arrears
Share
Monrovia – Aggrieved widows of fallen soldiers stormed both the Barclay Training Center (BTC) and the Ministry of Finance on Tuesday demanding the pension benefits of their husbands who are ex-soldiers of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL).
This is not the first time the women have protested for their husbands’ benefit. During the regime of former President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, the women many on many occasions took to the streets demanding their husbands’ pension benefit.
FrontPageAfrica could reach the Assistant Minister for Public Affairs Sam Collins to respond to the women’s allegations as his phone rang endlessly.
