A sitting of Liberia’s House of Representatives was disrupted on Thursday as lawmakers clashed over ongoing debates surrounding homosexuality and cultural practices in the country.
The heated exchange erupted after several legislators argued that such practices were not in the nation’s best interest, leading to rising tensions on the floor.
The incident underscores widening divisions within the legislature over how social issues should be addressed in a rapidly evolving society.
The session was eventually halted as leaders sought to restore order and chart a way forward on the contentious matter.
