Four top-notch Liberian journalists have made key recommendations aimed at helping to avert potential threats of terrorism and violent extremism in the Mano River Union countries of Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, and the Ivory Coast.
The journalists are the Press Union of Liberia’s presidential hopeful, Julius K. Kanubah, News Public Trust Publisher, Frank Sainworla, Internews Senior Journalism Trainer, Torwon Solunteh-Brown, and Liberia Broadcasting System Deputy Director General for Media Services Hassan Kiawu.
They said the first step to preventing external threats is to first deal with those that are internal. They identified internal threats as corruption, inequality, extension of presidential term limits, land ownership, religious fundamentalism, economic hardship, religious intolerance, social inequality, etc., while stressing the need for Media Literacy.
