💨 Abstract

In Monrovia, Liberia, thousands protested against the country's drug crisis, demanding stricter laws and enforcement. Women's groups led the march, calling for a national emergency declaration and harsher penalties. The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency reports high youth drug use and numerous "drug dens" in the capital. Activists accuse President Joseph Boakai of inaction despite his campaign promises. The primary drug, kush, poses severe health risks.
