Sanniquellie, Nimba County – Sanniquiellie is still reeling from the bloody clash between partisans of the Coalition of Democratic Change and the Liberty Party which brought the city to a standstill on Wednesday, September 20.
Many residents have left the city since the riffraff and are yet to return.
Madam Sannie Suah, superintendent of the Sanniquiellie Market, said their decision not to sell on Thursday was based on the ruckus on Wednesday.
Some residents of Sanniquellie told our correspondent that the behavior of the two opposition political parties have created fear among the voters in the County.
“My son I will now change my plan to vote for different person.”

According to him, on September 19, a representative candidate on the ticket of the CDC, Jackson Say Gono informed him, without a written communication that the CDC’s political letter was passing via Sanniquellie to go Yekepa.
Mr. Monmia lamented that it was the Liberty Party that officially wrote him informing his office that they would be having their political campaign in the city of Sanniquellie.
He expressed disappointments that he is not informed by representative candidates about their activities in the districts.
