The year was in large part dominated by the Ebola Virus Disease (evd) outbreak, though who tentatively declared the outbreak over on 9 May. The economy suffered throughout the year, largely as a result of falling commodity prices. Corruption scandals, including some related to misappropriation of funds meant to combat the evd epidemic, dominated the political scene, revealing the depth of public distrust of national institutions and the inefficiency of state bureaucracy. The debate between and within political parties was highly divisive. Although the un Mission in Liberia suggested that it might soon be leaving the country, its military and administrative capacity remained untouched. Liberia’s foreign policy was dominated by the government’s attempts to attract development funds to combat the consequences of the evd epidemic.
