Here is the full statement from CDC- COP Statement below:

CDC- COP Welcomes President George M. Weah’s Rejuvenation of Maintaining Peace and Stability; Agrees that the Coalition for Democratic Change ( CDC) is a Nonviolent Party

Fellow Liberians and members of the press; the National Executive Council of the nation’s premier and biggest civil rights political movement- CDC-COP states categorically clear that we welcome the President’s message of maintaining the peace of our common patrimony, Liberia.

We also reiterate that CDC- COP is an independent nonviolent civil rights political movement that chose to support the government based on our unwavering love for the country and the magnanimous transformations being implemented by the government; therefore, we take full responsibility for our actions and inactions.

Meanwhile, we maintain that the unfortunate scene on July 26 at the American Embassy is a calculated plan by the failed opposition to use youths and students to instigate violence and defame the government. The CDC- COP symbolizes peace, unity, nonviolence, and good governance.

Notwithstanding, the CDC- COP has immediately reached out to its legal team and we can assure the Liberian people that we’ll cooperate with the Liberia National Police ( LNP) and whatever decision thereto.

Let’s Protect the State!

Foday N. Massaquoi
