(SomaliNet) Liberia's President-elect, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf has promised no tolerance for people who want to plunge the country back to war. "They should not be fooled because I am a woman. I am going to be tough," Sirleaf said-Reuters.
She is again quoted to have said:"Let us be clear here that whoever attempts to destabilise the state and introduce violence once again into our society will feel the brunt of the law."
Her statements come barely a week before her January 16th swearing in. There is fear that former Liberian president Charles Taylor's comrades will resort to the gun.
