The African nation of Liberia was founded, in part, by freed American slaves, but now, nearly 200 years later, the country is in danger of becoming overrun by Ebola, and its president is seeking dictatorial powers.

According to Voice of America (VOA), President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has petitioned the national legislature to extend to her additional emergency powers in the name of preventing the further spread of the deadly virus.

Currently, the country is already under a state of emergency, as well as a curfew, VOA reported, adding:

In a letter to the Plenary of the House of Representatives and the Senate, Sirleaf asked for powers to amend seven different articles under the constitution, including freedom of movement, speech, religion, confiscation of private property, and elections.

‘I will vote against it’

Acarous Gray, a member of the House of Representatives from Congress for Democratic Change, an opposition party, has announced he will vote “no” on Sirleaf’s request for new authoritarian powers. He said he will do so because he does not want to see a return to a military-style dictatorship for Liberia, outbreak or not.
