Liberia is a country located on the western coast of Africa. It was founded in 1821 by free African Americans and freed slaves from the United States, making it one of the few African countries to have been founded by African Americans.
Liberia gained independence in 1847 and has since struggled with political instability, civil wars, and economic challenges. It is currently a democracy with a presidential system of government.
Liberia is known for its rich cultural heritage, diverse ethnic groups, and natural resources such as iron ore, timber, diamonds, and rubber. The country has made progress in rebuilding its infrastructure and institutions in the aftermath of the civil wars that ravaged the country in the 1990s and early 2000s.
Liberia faces challenges such as high levels of poverty, unemployment, corruption, and limited access to basic services such as healthcare and education. The government and international organizations are working to address these issues and promote sustainable development in the country.
