MONROVIA – The Ministry of National Defense and the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) welcomes the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Government of Liberia and the United Nations regarding the AFL’s contribution to the UN Peace-keeping Operations in Mali (MINUSMA). This MoU now solidifies the contribution of the Armed Forces of Liberia to the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Mali.
The Ministry of National Defense and the AFL see the signing of the MOU as a great step for Liberia and speaks to the level of transformation the Liberian Military has gone through since its restructuring in 2006.
Commenting on the signing of the MOU, the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Liberia, Maj/Gen Prince C. Johnson III, said the MOU with the United Nations could not have been possible without the support of the Liberian Government under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Liberia, President George Manneh Weah, and former Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, who initiated the restructuring of the Armed Forces of Liberia back in 2006.
