Liberian opposition urges Johnson-Sireaf to resign
Liberia's opposition has called on President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to step
down after the truth commission said she should be barred from office.
"The presidency has been brought to public disrepute," said Acarious Gray,
from former footballer George Weah's Congress for Democratic Change
party.
However, Information Minister Laurence Brople said Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf was
continuing to work as normal.
The commission said she should be barred over her ties to Charles Taylor.
Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf has always admitted that she had backed the former
warlord's rebellion 20 years ago.
The House of Representatives is due to debate the Truth and Reconciliation
Commission's report on Tuesday.
The recommendations could become law if parliament, in which the opposition
has a majority, decides to adopt them.
Mrs Johnson-Sirleaf defeated Mr Weah in a run-off in 2005 elections after the
end of 14 years of conflict in Liberia.
