Interesting facts about Liberia. Liberia is bordered by Sierra Leone, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, and the Atlantic Ocean. It got its name from the Latin word “liber,” which means “free,” because it was founded as a haven for freed African American slaves. Monrovia, Liberia’s capital, was named after James Monroe, the United States’ fifth president and a promoter of the colonization of Liberia by freed blacks.
Liberia also belongs to the Economic Community of West African States, a regional organization. Except for the United Kingdom, more than half of the people in 45 countries can speak effectively in English, according to David Crystal’s book English as a Global Language.
The cruise industry has been accused in recent years of flying a “flag of convenience” by registering ships in nations with less strict labor laws. Incorporated in Liberia is Royal Caribbean International, which owns three of the world’s largest cruise ships and controls 12% of the global marine fleet. Air Quality and absence of smokers. According to the World Health Organization, air quality is monitored in 1,622 urban areas in 92 countries. Liberia is ranked 10th least polluted metropolitan regions, ahead of Spain, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Heaven for surfers and spectacular national park. There are various surfing beaches in and around Monrovia, but the coastal town of Robertsport, some 50 miles from the city, has been dubbed “Africa’s finest undiscovered surf location” due to the enormous stretches of empty beaches it offers.
