The South-Eastern Alliance of Liberia (SEAL) has issued a strong condemnation of recent calls for nationwide protests against the Boakai-Koung administration, characterizing them as destabilizing attempts to undermine national progress. SEAL specifically targeted Mulbah Morlu, former chairman of the ex-ruling Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC), and Attorney Isaac Jackson, along with other former officials, accusing them of spreading misinformation and engaging in political agitation. Morlu’s call for protests on July 17, 2025, was singled out as a particularly egregious example of incitement and a veiled attempt to sow discord.
SEAL’s statement questioned the credibility and moral standing of Mulbah Morlu, citing his past actions and statements as evidence of a pattern of dishonesty and manipulative behavior. They referenced widely circulated audio recordings in which Morlu made serious allegations against former President George Weah, only to later dismiss them. They also highlighted Morlu’s false claim of meeting former U.S. President Barack Obama, further solidifying their portrayal of him as unreliable and untrustworthy. This history, according to SEAL, disqualifies Morlu from any position of leadership or influence in national discourse.
The group also took aim at Attorney Isaac Jackson, labeling him a political opportunist with a history of betraying his benefactors. SEAL accused Jackson of disparaging the late Cllr. Charles Walker Brumskine to gain favor with former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, painting him as someone who prioritizes personal gain over loyalty and principle. SEAL argued that Jackson’s past actions demonstrate a lack of integrity and make him a detrimental influence on the current generation, unfit for any role in public leadership.
In stark contrast to their negative portrayal of the protest organizers, SEAL commended the Boakai-Koung administration for its progress in governance and national development. They highlighted improvements in key sectors such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, attributing these advancements to the current government’s commitment to responsible leadership and effective policy implementation. SEAL presented this progress as a testament to the positive trajectory of the nation under the current administration, further underscoring the irresponsibility of calls for disruptive protests.
SEAL framed the planned protests as a desperate attempt by those who once held power to regain influence through misinformation and unrest. They accused these former officials of imposing hardship on the Liberian people during their tenure, citing reduced salaries and the prioritization of political affiliation over competence. SEAL urged Liberians to remember the past suffering allegedly caused by these individuals and reject their attempts to disrupt the current progress being made.
The statement concluded with a call for unity and support for the Boakai-Koung administration. SEAL urged all well-meaning Liberians to reject the planned protests and instead focus on contributing to the ongoing efforts to rebuild the nation. They expressed confidence in President Boakai’s commitment to transparency, justice, and opportunity for all, emphasizing that Liberia is on a path to recovery and that these protests threaten to derail that progress. SEAL’s message was a clear call for stability and continued development under the current leadership, contrasting it with the alleged destructive intentions of the protest organizers.
