Liberia
Liberia, officially the Republic of Liberia, is a country on the West African coast bordered by Sierra Leone to the northwest, Guinea to the north, Ivory Coast to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the south and southwest. It is best known for being Africa's first republic, founded in 1847 by freed American slaves, and for its enduring tradition of constitutional governance. Liberia remains relevant in current news for its ongoing democratic reforms, its regional security role in West Africa, and its efforts toward economic development and humanitarian resilience.
