Mr. Speaker. I rise today to express my outrage at the massacre that occurred on June 3. near Harbel. Liberia. This slaughter claimed the lives of almost 300 Libedan refugees. 90 percent of whom were women and children. Throughtout the 3h years that this bloody civil war has raged. countless atrocities have been committed against the people of Liberia. In Liberia. as In other regions torn by civil war. civilians have become the greatest victims. Yet the victims of this slaying are not confined to Liberia. In Rhode Island alone. this massacre has left thousands of LiberianAmericans sick with fear and worry over the fate of their family members still living in Liberia. and over the future of their homeland.
