Statement by Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Liberia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATLANTA….I welcome President Bush's recent statement of his determination to help the people of Liberia find the path to peace and his strong support for the cease-fire signed early this month. U.S. leadership can and should extend to the deployment of U.S. forces in support of a multi-national humanitarian intervention in Liberia. There is little doubt that such an intervention would be embraced by the vast majority of Liberians, currently trapped in a cycle of worsening violence. Liberia and the United States have long ties of mutual support. American leadership now is critical to create the security on which long-term stability for Liberia and the region can be built. President Charles Taylor needs to leave the country, permitting the cease-fire to prevail and democratic elections to be held.
