In a startling turn of events, ArcelorMittal Liberia (AML) found itself at the epicenter of a harrowing attack on 28th July 2023, when its Tokadeh Mines came under siege by an unidentified armed group brandishing machetes and firearms. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region, prompting concerns over the safety of personnel and mining assets.

Regrettably, one AML employee fell victim to the violence, sustaining a gunshot wound during the assault. The company, however, seeks to reassure the public that the employee’s condition remains stable, with vigilant monitoring by AML’s medical team.

Beyond the peril posed to personnel, the brazen assailants laid waste to valuable mining assets, including vehicles and equipment, leaving the mining operation grappling with the aftermath of this egregious act.

According to the press release, the company has already engaged with both the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Defence, imploring them to undertake a comprehensive investigation into this shocking act of aggression. The aim is clear – identify those responsible and ensure they are held accountable for their reprehensible actions.
