    MRISS Calls For Urgent Reforms In MRU Region

    Says Controversial Extradition Of Guinean National From Liberia Raises Concerns

    Monrovia, Liberia – In the wake of the Liberian government’s recent extradition of Guinean native Ibrahim Kali Cherif, the Mano River Institute for Strategic Studies (MRISS) has emphasized the urgent need for better frameworks to manage cross-border issues in the MRU area.

    Cherif recently fled to Liberia for safety after being charged with armed rebellion, criminal conspiracy, criminal facilitation, and criminal solicitation by Guinea’s military junta, which also accused him of planning to topple the country’s government. The Liberian security forces detained him at the borders between Liberia and Guinea.

    Judge Roosevelt Z. Willie of Criminal Court “A” punished top Justice Ministry officials $500 apiece and threatened to put them in jail on November 20, 2024, for illegally moving defendant Cherif to Guinea in violation of many court orders.

    The recent extradition of the Guinean individual from Liberia has drawn considerable outrage, according to a statement issued by MRISS on Sunday, December 8, 2024, raising serious concerns about the Mano River Union’s (MRU) adherence to due process and human rights. “In an area characterized by shared histories and precarious peace, the incident has highlighted the urgent need for improved frameworks to handle cross-border issues.”

    A think tank called the Mano River Institute for Strategic Studies (MRISS) works to improve democracy, advance governance, and foster peace and stability in the Mano River basin, which encompasses Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. MRISS seeks to support regional cohesion and sustainable development by utilizing strong research, experience-sharing, and public sector capacity building.

    The group claims that the incident highlights a serious weakness in the MRU’s current security and cooperation strategy and that, as the region recovers from decades of conflict, the necessity of strong and open procedures to handle extradition and related matters cannot be overstated.

    As part of the major modifications to the regional organization for future prevention, MRISS also suggests that the MRU establish a Peace and Security Arm.

    There have been several conflicts in the MRU region, including as border disputes, ethnic violence, and civil wars. People have frequently been displaced as a result of these wars, and they may seek safety in nearby nations,” the statement stated.

    In order to improve collaboration and guarantee that delicate matters, such as extradition, are handled from a regional perspective, the group underlined that the MRU urgently needs a formal peace and security authority that can serve as a first responder to cross-border problems. The group thinks that the aforementioned organization may resolve conflicts, coordinate activities among member governments, and offer a fair and open forum for discussing security-related issues.

    In order to guarantee that these requests are handled appropriately, MRISS also suggested that MRU appoint a panel of experts. The organization stated that this panel would be made up of people with backgrounds in human rights, international law, and security studies, and that its main responsibility would be to examine extradition cases that have potential security or human rights implications.

    In an area where ethnic identities frequently cross national borders, poorly managed extraditions run the danger of escalating tribal conflicts. The MRU can lessen the likelihood of intercommunal violence and promote trust among its varied communities by putting in place fair and open procedures.

    According to MRISS, the MRU’s guiding ideal of regional integration needs to be represented in the way it handles matters such as extradition.

    It claimed that implementing these changes will improve the Union’s ability to advance peace and stability while also protecting human rights. “The MRU can make sure that events like the recent extradition do not jeopardize the region’s hard-won progress by emphasizing cooperation and due processes.”

    “MRISS is of the opinion that the establishment of a peace and security arm of the MRU and the appointment of a panel of experts would provide several benefits, including: Improved regional stability, Enhanced human rights protection, Increased cooperation among member states and Reduced tribal tensions,” the release indicated.
