On December 18, 2020, a group of protesters reportedly attacked and chased-out some land rights activists from communities near Salala Rubber Corporation (SRC) in Liberia. Aggrieved residents of affected communities have accused SRC of masterminding the wave of violent attacks against them and Green Advocates International (GAI). The residents claimed that the latest attacks by the group, comprising current employees and contractors of the company have led some residents including local activists to flee the area for fear of their lives. According to the residents, the violence erupted when the pro-company group disrupted series of meetings that were scheduled between them and staff of GAI and its partners. The meetings with several communities near the plantation were intended for GAI staff to provide updates on the status of a complaint filed with the International Financial Corporation (IFC) in 2019 against SRC. The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is investigating land grab, economic displacement and loss of livelihood, labor rights violation, gender-based violence and threats of reprisals and intimidation allegedly by SRC. ­The meetings were also intended for GAI to understand the impact of COVID 19 on local communities and to afford award-winning Cameroonian environmental and human rights activist Nasako Besingi provide his experiences on how communities can jointly fight multi-national corporations that intend to exploit them of their land rights. According to reports, SRC refused to comment when contacted by a team of independent investigative reporters who visited the area. Paul Larry George, Chairman of the Alliance for Rural Democracy (ARD), was also reportedly attacked.
