BREAKING NEWS FROM LIBERIA

 Monrovia — Heavy rioting is taking place in Monrovia as Liberian army troops and residents in the slum district of West Point clash, less than 24 hours after President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf announced a 9pm to 6am curfew and other stringent measures to contain the deadly Ebola outbreak.

Kings FM reporters on the scene say, some angry residents of West Point stoned security officers at the West Point LEC entrance as they attempted to enforce a quarantine and rescue the area's district commissioner.
"West Point locked down with heavily armed men, police have taken over Ashmun Street and everybody running away," a FrontPageAfrica reporter on the scene said.
Several security personnel are said to be denying people entrance into areas from the Vai Town route into West Point while army personnel are said to be parading the waters and sending fisher man back on land.
