LOVELY LIBERIA
LAND OF THE FREE
This website will introduce you to a truly beautiful, small coastal nation; a country characterized by its windswept golden beaches, luscious rainforests and verdant savannahs, where twittering birds, screeching monkeys and stomping elephants provide a wild soundtrack.
Founded by freed American and Caribbean slaves, Liberia is home to a large variety of cultures; its four million inhabitants are comprised of more than 16 different peoples, and there’s also a growing Asian and Middle Eastern population.
The Republic of Liberia is a country on the West African coast. Liberia means "Land of the Free" in Latin. It is bordered by Sierra Leone to its west, Guinea to its north and Ivory Coast to its east.
LIBERIA is Africa’s oldest republic with one of the most stable governments on the continent until the outbreak of civil war in 1980. Since then Liberia has experienced 2 civil wars and an outbreak of the Ebola virus. But Liberia has come a long way since the dark days of its civil war.
The 2013 Ibrahim Index of African Governance proclaimed this small West African nation to be the most improved country on the continent.
