Liberia Diaspora Engagement Program

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in collaboration with the Liberia Diaspora Engagement Program (LDEP) held a 3-day Capacity Building Workshop under the theme “Capacity Building for the Diaspora Secretariat and Members of the Liberia Diaspora Engagement Program Steering Committee” from December 2 – 4, 2019 in Monrovia. This workshop brought together professionals and officials from the IOM and the Government of Liberia. On behalf of the LDEP, I would like to thank the IOM for this great initiative.

Today, the Liberian Diaspora Community mourns the death of Ms. Elita Rita Weah, who suddenly lost her life at Zaventem Airport in Brussels on March 22, 2016 as a result of the senseless terrorist bombing. While still filled with grief, we want to extend our deepest sympathies to the bereaved family for their irreplaceable loss. May her Soul and the Souls of the dearly departed, rest in perfect peace and may light perpetual shine on them.

The Liberia Diaspora Engagement Program also extends its deepest sympathies to all those Liberians who were also injured by this tragedy. We wish you all a speedy recovery.

We also sympathize with the families of all other Nationalities who lost their lives or sustained injuries during this tragic incident. May the Almighty God heal their wounds.
