Monrovia, Liberia May 5, 2019-An updated security alert was placed on the official UK foreign affairs website stating that Protests and demonstrations do take place in Monrovia on occasion.

You should avoid protests, demonstrations, large gatherings and crowds and follow the advice of local authorities.

Terrorists are likely to try to carry out attacks in Liberia. Attacks could be indiscriminate. You should be vigilant, especially in places visited by foreigners. See Terrorism

General medical facilities throughout Liberia are unable to provide the same standard of healthcare as in the UK. Facilities in rural areas are rudimentary. Many medical facilities expect to be paid up-front for treatment. If you travel to Liberia, stay in contact with your employer or host organisation about the support that they can provide to you while you’re in the country.

If you’re concerned that you might have been exposed to, or showing symptoms of Ebola, you should seek immediate medical advice. If you’re in the UK call NHS on 111.

Avoid travelling at night outside Monrovia, except to or from Roberts International Airport. Make sure you have pre-arranged transport from the airport. See Crime and Road travel

The small British Embassy in Monrovia can only offer limited consular assistance.

If you’re abroad and you need emergency help from the UK government, contact the nearest British embassy, consulate or high commission.

Take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before you before you travel to Liberia.

The security alert comes less than thirty-two days to the much talk about June 7 Save the State in which organizers of the protest say they will host a mass protest ever in the history of Liberia.
