GNN contactΒ despite of effort been made to seek the assistance of Liberia Consulate General of the Republic of Liberia to UAE allegedly proved unsuccessful, as the offices which open once a week were always closed whenever Liberians made an attempt to crave for any assistance.
According to the report, many of those stranded Liberians are appealing to the Liberian government to facilitate their return to their home country, Liberia as many of them cannot afford their stay in that country.
