Liberia: ULIMO Reaffirms Policy on ECOMOG

<p>[Paris AFP in English 1514 GMT 7 Apr 92]
</p>
<p> [Excerpts] Monrovia, April 7 (AFP)--Liberia's ULIMO rebels
stated Tuesday [7 April] they will not relinquish "liberated
areas" in the country to West African peacekeeping troops
posted in and around Monrovia.
</p>
<p> The United Liberation Movement for Democracy in Liberia
(ULIMO) said a peace accord agreed reached last year had
"failed" because rival rebels in Charles Taylor's National
Patriotic Front (NPFL) had refused to disarm. [passage omitted]
</p>
<p> The rebel movement said that because of Taylor's "blatant
refusal" to abide by the accord reached in Yamoussoukro, Ivory
Coast, which provided for the encampment and disarming of rival
faction by January 15.
</p>
<p> ULIMO warned troops of the ECOMOG [Economic Community of
West African States Cease-Fire Monitoring Group] West African
peacekeeping force, sent to Liberia in August 1990, not to
enter its territory under the pretext of deploying troops or
setting up a buffer zone, and warned that "anyone doing so will
be considered an intruder."
</p>
<p> "ULIMO forces have reached a point of no return, and will do
everything to flush Taylor and his bandits out of Liberia by
force of arms," the statement said.
