The Government of Liberia distances itself from all acts of violence taking place in neighboring Cote d'Ivoire in the wake of Saturday's Polls.

A statement from the government says the situation has already led a few thousands of Ivoirians to seek refuge in Liberia and other neighboring countries, evoking memories of the 2010 electoral violence in that country.

The Liberian government reminds Ivoirians of the consequences of resorting to violence as a means of resolving their differences.

The Liberian Government says it firmly backs regional and international efforts aimed at finding a lasting solution to the political situation, and will do nothing to undermine the security of a friendly neighbor.

 In the past, Liberian mercenaries had been accused of taking part in violence in that country.
