The Deputy Head of Mission at the European Union in Liberia, Anders Arvidsson has cautioned Liberians, especially the young people to maintain the peace as the country approaches the 2023's Presidential and Legislative Elections.

The European Union Deputy Head of Mission indicated that it is about time that the young people of Liberia get involved in positive ventures that will contribute towards the forward march of the Country instead of engaging in acts that have the proclivity to derail the country's cherished peace.
