US Embassy Press Release

On July 23, the Government of the United States and the Government of Liberia conducted a joint operation to dispose of more than 75 unexploded ordnances (UXO) left over from Liberia’s civil war period. The successful operation on Edward Binyah Kesselly Barracks was coordinated among the U.S. Embassy, Monrovia, the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL), Golden West Humanitarian Foundation, and Bea Mountain Mining Company with funding provided by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.

Through this joint effort, Liberia has safely eliminated a long-standing public safety hazard and demonstrated its continued commitment to peace and security.
