On 26th July 2022 - Liberia's Independence Day - several anti-government protesters were injured, including two people necessitating hospital treatment, when they clashed with counter protesters. That day, the Student Unification Party (SUP), one of the biggest and oldest student political parties on University of Liberia campuses, organised anti-government protests in Monrovia, using the hashtag #FixTheCountry, to express the dissatisfaction with the way the country is being run and highlighting issues such as corruption, the poor quality of health and education services, poverty and other social ills.
A group known as CDC - Council of Patriots (CDC-COP), tied to the ruling political alliance of President Weah, also took to the streets to counter the SUP protest, clashing with and injuring several anti-government protesters. The beating and torture of anti-government protester Christopher Walter Sisulu Sivili, who was also stripped naked, was streamed live on Facebook.
