Monrovia — Officials of the Liberian refugee agency, LRRRC, the Foreign Ministry, the Ghanaian Embassy and the UNHCR are expected to address the March edition of the Edward Wilmot Blyden Forum today at the YMCA in Monrovia.
A release from the Press Union of Liberia (PUL) says the four institutions will speak on the topic: "The state of the Liberian refugees in Ghana amidst the recent standoff between the refugees and the Ghanaian government."
PUL says the forum is intended to provide additional details to the public about the refugee situation and mitigate the seemingly growing sour relations between Liberia and Ghana.
According to the PUL, panelists at the forum include LRRRC Director, Cllr. Wheatonia Dixon-Barnes, Deputy Foreign Minister William Bull, the head of Chancery and acting Ghanaian Ambassador Peter Owusu Mensah and UNHCR Country Director Renata Dubini.
The PUL is appealing to the public to attend today's forum.
