About Liberia

Liberia is the only Black state in Africa that has never been subjected to colonial rule. Located on the bulge of Africa, it is Africa’s oldest republic, established on land acquired for people who formerly had been enslaved in the United States. In 1824 the territory was named Liberia and its main settlement named Monrovia, which is the present-day capital. Liberian independence was proclaimed in 1847. The country enjoyed relative stability until a rebellion in 1989 escalated into a destructive civil war in the 1990s that did not fully cease until 2003. The country’s first post-conflict elections, held in 2005, were noteworthy for the election of the first woman to be elected head of state in Africa. 

English is Liberia's official language, with other predominant languages including Kpelle, Bassa, Grebo, Dan, Kru, Mano, Loma, and Mandingo (spoken by the Malinke). 

About four-fifths of Liberians are Christian, about one-tenth are Muslim, and a small number profess other religions—primarily traditional beliefs—or are nonreligious. The largest number of Christians are Kpelle, followed by the Bassa. Some Liberians who identify themselves primarily as Christian incorporate traditional beliefs into their personal theologies.
