Monrovia — Menipakei Dumoe, Acting Chairman of the Council of Patriots told FrontPageAfrica Thursday he did not support the burning of tires in the streets of Monrovia or any other part of Liberia, hours after early morning violence disrupted free movement on the Tubman Boulevard and the Old Road Community.
Mr. Dumoe, who has declared his intention to contest the Bong County Senatorial elections and was in the county when the incident unfolded Thursday said: "The COP we signed up for is one of peaceful agitation within the ambit of the law. I condemn any action by any group of citizens under any banner that would burn or threaten private and public property. I do not agree with government tariff policies but violent protests is not the way to go. We have not received any information or directive from the Chairman of COP as acting chair and we are awaiting clarity but I will not support violence."
