About Liberia
The Republic of Liberia, the second oldest independent country in Africa after Ethiopia, was established in 1847 by former slaves sent to West Africa in the early 1800s, even though the area was already inhabited by various indigenous ethnic groups who had occupied the region for centuries. Today the country’s 3.2 million people speak English and over 20 tribal languages. Ethnically Liberia is 95% comprised of indigenous tribes, 2.5 % Americo-Liberians, descendants of former U.S. slaves, 2.5% Congo People, descendants of Caribbean slaves. The religions of Liberia are indigenous beliefs (40%), Christian (40%) and Muslim (20%).
