Liberia Information Minister Calls For Adding Muslim Public Holidays

Source: The Analyst (Monrovia) and Liberia public holidays. Liberia's Information Minister, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Bropleh, recently declared that he would support a move to add Muslim public holidays to the list of Liberia public holidays. No specific holidays were mentioned, but one would expect either the Eid al-Fitr, or Eid al-Adha (or both) holidays to be the ones under consideration.

Follow-up (January 12, 2008) Since the above-quoted statement, the President of Liberia and some cabinet ministers have come out strongly against the idea, and have made it clear that Reverend Bropleh was not speaking in any official capacity.
