Les Etats-Unis ont annonc\u00e9 lundi avoir impos\u00e9 des sanctions pour corruption \u00e0 de hauts responsables lib\u00e9riens, dont un proche du pr\u00e9sident George Weah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Les sanctions visent notamment Nathaniel McGill, qui est ministre en charge des Affaires pr\u00e9sidentielles et secr\u00e9taire g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du pr\u00e9sident Weah. Il est accus\u00e9 d’avoir abus\u00e9 \u00ab\u00a0de sa position pour saper l’int\u00e9grit\u00e9 et l’ind\u00e9pendance des institutions d\u00e9mocratiques du Liberia (…) pour des gains personnels\u00a0\u00bb, selon un communiqu\u00e9 du porte-parole du d\u00e9partement d’Etat, Ned Price. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un communiqu\u00e9 s\u00e9par\u00e9 du d\u00e9partement du Tr\u00e9sor affirme qu’il \u00ab\u00a0a re\u00e7u des pots-de-vin\u00a0\u00bb dans des contrats publics. Deux autres hauts responsables sont \u00e9galement sanctionn\u00e9s: Sayma Syrenius Cephus, qui est procureur g\u00e9n\u00e9ral du Liberia, et Bill Twehway, qui dirige l’Autorit\u00e9 portuaire nationale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ces sanctions consistent principalement dans le gel de leurs avoirs aux Etats-Unis. Le Liberia est la plus ancienne r\u00e9publique d’Afrique sub-saharienne fond\u00e9e au XIXe si\u00e8cle sous l’impulsion des Etats-Unis pour des esclaves noirs affranchis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
