Transnational Issues Liberia

Disputes - international:

rebels and refugees contribute to border instabilities with Sierra

Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, and Guinea; the Ivorian Government accuses

Liberia of supporting Ivorian rebels

Illicit drugs:

transshipment point for Southeast and Southwest Asian heroin and

South American cocaine for the European and US markets; corruption,

criminal activity, arms-dealing, and diamond trade provide

significant potential for money laundering, but the lack of

well-developed financial system limits the country's utility as a

major money-laundering center
