More about Liberia
Population
The population is made up of around 20 ethnic groups, the majority of which belong to the Mande and Kru peoples. The Kpelle in central Liberia and the Bassa around Buchanan together make up around a third of the population. Other groups are the Gio and the Mano in the north, the Malinke, which are spread all over Liberia, and the Kran in the northeast. 2.5% of the population are descendants of the former slaves from the southern states of the USA who immigrated in 1822 (“Amerikoliberians”), who formed the state-supporting stratum until 1980. A small minority are the Vai around Robertsport, who are known for their syllabary system (originated around 1834). The official language is English, but Krio (Creole English) and the local African languages are spoken on a daily basis.
The population density is (2017) 49 residents / km 2. The majority of the population lives in the coastal region, over a third in the capital Monrovia, the only large city. The share of the urban population is (2017) 51%.
The biggest cities in Liberia

| Monrovia | 1 021 800 |
| Gbarnga | 57,000 |
| Buchanan | 50 200 |
| Ganta | 42 100 |

During the civil war, a third of the total population fled to neighboring countries at times, and another third was on the run within Liberia. According to the UNHCR, around 11,500 foreign refugees (mainly from the Republic of Ivory Coast) were in Liberia at the end of 2017. Around 9,600 refugees and asylum seekers from Liberia are still living abroad.
Social: Despite the country’s economic potential, the majority of the population lives below the poverty line. In rural areas in particular, there is a great shortage of medical care, medical facilities and reliable drinking water supplies. Female genital mutilation is still practiced in Liberia, affecting around half of all women.
Religion
The constitution (Article 14) guarantees freedom of religion, legally equates all religious communities and establishes the separation of state and religion as a constitutional principle. With regard to its history and state system as a “free, sovereign and independent state”, Liberia subordinates itself in the preamble to the constitution in gratitude to the guidance of God. Officially (according to the 2008 census, last available data) only a fraction of the population (0.6%) is assigned to traditional African religions, whereby the boundaries between the autochthonous religious practice actually lived by many residents and Islam and Christianity are often blurred. According to state data, Christian churches belong to almost 86% of the population. Since the census does not differentiate between Christian faiths, Only information from the church itself remains with limited statistical reliability: According to these unofficial sources, a good 4% of the population belong to the Catholic Church (Archdiocese of Monrovia with two suffragan dioceses [Cape Palmas (Harper); Gbarnga]) and about 0.5% to the Anglican Church; the remaining Christians can be assigned to Protestant churches and independent religious communities (over 150 denominations). The largest Protestant church is the United Methodist Church in Liberia (approx. 3.7% of the population; seat of the bishop: Monrovia). The Anglican Episcopal Church of Liberia (seat of the bishop: Monrovia; part of the Anglican Church of the Province of West Africa since 1982) is part of the missionary work of Protestant Episcopal Church emerged in the 19th century.
A good 16% of the population (especially the Vai and the Malinke) are Sunni Muslims from the Maliki school of law. Secret societies, in which men ( Poro ) but also women have come together, play a major role in both religious and social terms.
Service sector
The tertiary sector (commerce, transport, public administration) largely collapsed during the civil war; its share in GDP is 52.8% (2016). Public administration is the largest employer in the formal sector. The shipping register is an important source of government revenue. Formally, Liberia has one of the largest merchant fleets in the world. However, the ships sailing under the Liberian flag for tax reasons belong almost exclusively to foreign shipping companies.
Tourism: Tourism in Liberia is a.o. little or not at all developed due to the protracted civil war, although the country definitely has tourist potential (e.g. the capital Monrovia, the beaches around Robertsport and the Sapo National Park).
