Liberia’s Ambassador to France, Dr. C. William Allen, on Tuesday joined an array of diplomats at the French Foreign Ministry in Paris to sign the Condolence Register following the deadly terror attack in Paris that killed 17 persons.

In his comment, Dr. Allen extended heartfelt condolences to the Government and People of France on behalf of Her Excellency President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the Government and People of Liberia for the loss of lives stemming from the attack on the offices of the magazine, Charlie Hebdo, a Jewish Supermarket and the killing of a police officer in Paris last week.

According to a dispatch from the Liberian Embassy in Paris, Ambassador Allen assured the French Government that Liberia stands by France in this time of grief, but consoled the people of France that the positive forces of Democracy, Freedom and Peace would always prevail over the forces of evil and darkness.
