LIMASA Identifies New Massacre Sites in the Pursuit of Truth, Justice, and National Healing
Story
In the quiet communities of Rivercess County, where time and nature have long tried to bury painful memories, the LIMASA team walked carefully across land heavy with untold stories. Guided by testimonies from survivors, elders, and community members, the team documented locations that had remained unmarked and largely forgotten—newly identified massacre sites that bear witness to some of the darkest chapters of Liberia’s past.
For many residents, the identification of these sites reopened wounds, but it also offered a sense of long-awaited recognition. The presence of the LIMASA team signaled that these lives lost were not forgotten and that their stories still matter in the national quest for truth and accountability. Each site documented was more than a location on a map; it was a reminder of human suffering, resilience, and the urgent need for justice.
By identifying these massacre sites in Rivercess County, LIMASA has taken another critical step toward preserving historical truth and supporting transitional justice efforts. The findings strengthen calls for accountability, memorialization, and healing—ensuring that the silence surrounding these atrocities is broken and that future generations understand the cost of conflict and the value of peace
