Liberia president lifts state of emergency
The President of Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has lifted
the state of emergency imposed to control an Ebola outbreak that has ravaged
the country.
She said the move did not mean "the fight is over", although
numbers of new infections were no longer increasing. The confirmed death toll from the virus is now 5,160 people, almost all of them from Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
Meanwhile, clinical trials to find an effective treatment for Ebola are due to start in West Africa next month.
The medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF), which has been helping lead the fight against the virus, says three of its treatment centres will host three separate research projects.
This is actually a good News for Liberia
