The United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL) offered its condolences and sympathy today to the Government of the Republic of Guinea and the family and friends of the passengers who perished this morning when their aircraft crashed close to the Liberian capital, Monrovia.
The aircraft reportedly crashed while travelling from Guinea to the Liberian capital. The passengers included a number of Guinea’s high ranking military officers who were travelling to attend Liberia’s National Armed Forces Day celebrations today.
UNMIL has supported the Liberian Authorities with their response and recovery efforts, and is now supporting the conduct of a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding today’s incident.
