U.S. Embassy Monrovia informs U.S. citizens that a demonstration is currently gathering near the National Elections Commission headquarters on Tubman Boulevard in Sinkor. Heavy congestion and traffic delays are expected on Tubman Boulevard and the surrounding areas.
Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and escalate into violence. Avoid areas of demonstrations, and exercise caution if in the vicinity of any large gatherings, protests, or demonstrations.
