APM Terminals – The Terminal in Liberia, Monrovia
Rebuilt in 2011, the port of Monrovia in Liberia is flourishing. Cargo volumes have nearly doubled in those three years, indicating the kind of impact an efficient and modern port can have but also the important role it will play in attracting and supporting the trade and investment that Liberia needs to grow.

LIBERIA: MONROVIA: WARRING FACTIONS CONTINUE TO FIGHT
(20 May 1996) English/Nat
In a sign that Monrovia's six-week siege is far from over - warring Liberian factions continue to battle on the streets of the Liberian capital.
The suburbs of the war-torn capital are also rife with factional battles as Monrovians continue to flee.
The latest fighting began when combined forces of warlord Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front (N-P-F-L) fought with soldiers loyal to rival faction leader Roosevelt Johnson.
A common sight on the streets of Monrovia - but with a new group of fighters.
This faction of gunmen have entered the six-week long fray on the embattled streets of the war-torn capital.
A self-styled group - the 'Butt-Naked Battalion' - have joined the ethnic Krahn fighters in intimidating and fighting the N-P-F-L who...

Tracking Liberia's port Monrovia project
For 14 years until 2003 Liberia was gripped by a shockingly violent civil war. Infrastructure collapsed, thousands died and the country all but came to a standstill. The gateway to the Liberian economy Monrovia's Port, once the pride of the region, was destroyed. Then in 2010, a 25 year concession was struck and APM Terminals took over operating and developing the port's terminal. USD $120 million has since been invested in terminal infrastructure, with more to come, and trade through the port has increased by 30% in just 2 years. Its Africa's Time went to investigate this public-private partnership; track its impact on the country; and meet the people and SMME's whose lives are being transformed because of it.

(20 May 1996) English/Nat
In a sign that Monrovia's six-week siege is far from over - warring Liberian factions continue to battle on the streets of the Liberian capital.
The suburbs of the war-torn capital are also rife with factional battles as Monrovians continue to flee.
The latest fighting began when combined forces of warlord Charles Taylor's National Patriotic Front (N-P-F-L) fought with soldiers loyal to rival faction leader Roosevelt Johnson.
A common sight on the streets of Monrovia - but with a new group of fighters.
This faction of gunmen have entered the six-week long fray on the embattled streets of the war-torn capital.
A self-styled group - the 'Butt-Naked Battalion' - have joined the ethnic Krahn fighters in intimidating and fighting the N-P-F-L who hold these barracks in Monrovia.
The Butt-Naked Battalion believe they cannot be killed because wearing no protective clothing or gear grants them more power bullets and the bullets will miss them.
The fighters are a great psychological threat to the N-P-F-L fighters in battle - who usually retreat when threatened by the scantily clad fighters.
The ethnic Krahn fighters - loyal to faction leader Roosevelt Johnson - were also seen looting in the suburbs as well as participating in sporadic street fights.
They, too, bring psychological fear onto the streets of Monrovia by intimidating their enemies with endless noisemaking and what would appear to be wanton trashing and looting.
However - survival for the Krahn has been touch and go throughout the civil war which has been off and on since 1989.
They are virtually marooned in a barracks compound in Monrovia and under heavy gun and shell-fire from N-P-F-L troops.
They have no access to aid from the Red Cross or the U-N and have limited access to food and water.
But for the civilians of Monrovia - the fighting and looting can be heartbreaking.
Thousands have fled the fighting - and thousands more continue to pack up what little remains of their belongs and flee the city.
This family has just lost a young boy in the fighting.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"Every minute in Liberia we have somebody like this dying. Every minute - we are living in a complete nightmare. There is no law and order - the people just come and do whatever they want to do and take away - and take lives away - properties, whatsoever, so we are just left with how much we have got."
SUPERCAPTION: Civilian resident of Monrovia
The latest round of fighting began when government troops attempted to arrest Roosevelt Johnson on murder charges stemming from clashes that violated an August 1995 accord.
Johnson refused to surrender, and ensuing battles prompted a U-S military evacuation of foreigners and sent civilians fleeing to the American Embassy's residential compound for safety.
Charles Taylor started Liberia's war in 1989 with a rebel assault on the ethnic Krahn dictatorship of President Samuel Doe.
Doe was toppled and executed by a rival faction, one of several that emerged as the war continued.
More than 150-thousand people have died and half the nearly 3 (m) million population has been left homeless in the conflict.

(22 Jul 2003) NB ALL CLIENTS: This material was shot during combat in an extremely confused situation. Neither the government nor the rebel forces are wearing uniforms or insignia and it is not possible for APTN to distinguish between them. All material in this item was shot on 20th or 21st July. It is not possible to distinguish which sequences were shot when.
Monrovia
1. Man with weapon, wearing yellow bandana running along the road: AUDIO: GUNFIRE
2. Man with no pants on walking, then turns to fire, camera drops to ground: AUDIO: GUNFIRE
3. Pan from one man to another firing from the hip: AUDIO: GUNFIRE AND EXPLOSIONS
4. Pan from man with no pants to another man firing from the bridge
5. Pan from man in bright orange shirt and red bandana to another man firing from the bridge
6. Man with red bandana walking along the bridge: AUDIO: GUNFIRE
7. Camera follows man crossing bridge to man with yellow bandana cocking weapon: AUDIO: GUNFIRE
8. Men on bridge, one hands a rocket to another, camera drops to ground: AUDIO: GUNFIRE
STORYLINE:
The United States on Tuesday condemned escalating violence in Liberia and called on both sides to immediately cease all military activities.
President George W. Bush weighed a decision to send in U.S. troops as the State Department urged rebels to hold their fire if they expect to be part of a future government.
APTN filmed one of the battles during the period of 20 and 21 July 2003 when rebels pushed further into Monrovia's capital, clashing with government troops.
Government fighters, who put up little resistance as rebels swept south into the city on Saturday, made a stand at two bridges leading from the rebel-controlled port into the centre of the city.
APTN's footage was filmed at one of those bridges, believed to be called the Old Bridge.
Men were filmed firing large calibre weapons from the bridge, some shooting from the hip, as bullets ripped past them.
Monrovia is his last remaining stronghold in the country founded more than 150 years ago by freed American
slaves.
In the past few days rebels have pushed deeper into the northern suburbs and sent a new wave of terrified residents fleeing with bundles of possessions balanced on their heads.
Liberians are weary after 14 years of bloody turmoil. Many say they won't be satisfied that stability is possible until U.S. peacekeepers land in the country.
But with peacekeepers yet to arrive, warlord-turned-President Charles Taylor has vowed to fight to the last man in Monrovia.
Taylor has pledged to resign and accept an offer of asylum in Nigeria - but only after peacekeepers arrive. Bush has set Taylor's departure as a condition.
