“Pray For Peace, Stability And Genuine Reconciliation”–Pres. Weah Entreats Muslims As They Observe Ramadan

President George M. Weah has entreated Liberian Muslims to pray for peace, stability and genuine peace as they begin the observation of the Holy Month of Ramadan on Thursday, March 23, 2023.

   In his remarks on the observance of the Ramadan, President Weah said, “It gives me great joy as your President to join you once again in the observance of the Holy Month of Ramadan.  As you and other Muslims around the world undertake this significant religious obligation, permit me to congratulate you and wish you well during this period of prayers and fasting.

   “It is my hope that you will pray for peace, stability, and genuine reconciliation in Liberia. I pray too that every Liberian Muslim will be an instrument of peace, stability, and reconciliation in our common patrimony.”

   President Weah said, “Ramadan this year comes as we prepare ourselves as a nation for presidential and legislative elections in October 2023. Let me use this occasion to plead to all Liberians and those residing here to put away violent acts and seek the path of peace with all fellow Liberians. Regardless of your political and religious views, Liberia belongs to us all. It is therefore expected that all of us will continue to work and pray for stability, peace, and genuine reconciliation for the development of Liberia.

   “I also join you in your prayers and supplications for God to forgive our wrongdoings.  I congratulate and thank all of you for your moral and spiritual endurance, far-sightedness, and prayers being offered for the peace and stability of our country.

   “I also wish to commend all Muslims for remaining law-abiding and patriotic over the years.  I ask all Muslims to continue to pray for peace and a reconciled Liberia that will bring about national development and social cohesion.”
