Liberia: Democracy in Focus
Elections Are Here. We Look at Candidates' Policies on Key Issues and Hear From One of Two Women Candidates for President
Just days before the election we look at candidates plans on a range of issues. First up: agriculture. Also, as drug addiction takes more Liberian lives we look at candidates’ plans to stem the crisis and ask users what they need.
One of two women running for president, Sara Beslow Nyanti shares her plans to build Liberia. And we hear from two visually impaired people who have defied their condition to find means to support their survival.
