Statement from the Leadership of the LAIA

To:
All Liberians in Iowa

Subject:
Issues surrounding the closure of Liberian/Minnesota Consulate.

After hours of discussion with the Counsel General(Hon. Jackson George) of the Liberian Consulate in Minnesota, the leadership of the LAIA has gathered that Mr. George has confirmed that, indeed, he did receive a letter from Monrovia, informing him that all operations from the Minnesota Consulate will be shot down and turn over to the original office(Liberian Embassy) in Washington DC.
Upon receiving and digesting the sad information, Mr. George thought it wise to call a mass community meeting of Liberians to break the news to them. With the huge turnout and frustration on the faces of Liberians in Minnesota, they all quickly organized themselves in protest against Monrovia's decision and in fact, wrote the Foreign Ministry.
With a population of over 50 thousand liberians in Minnesota alone, our government thought to listen.
Now, the government of Liberia is putting together a delegation to come and investigate the matter and to make subsequent recommendations to the President of Liberia.
Meanwhile, all document activities continue at the Liberian Consulate in Minnesota until a decision from the Liberian government and Liberians in the diaspora, specifically the MidWest, is reached.
Once again, many thanks to the President and VP of the Liberian Association of Iowa for the step taken.

Please keep monitoring as the situation unravels.

Thanks again for your dedication and commitment aimed at making our people and country a priority.
