209 Liberian Muslims returning home from the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca last month have asked President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to send an ambassador to Saudi Arabia. Sheikh Oumaru Kamara, representative for the Muslim Council, told President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf of the request in a meeting on Friday.

Liberia has been diplomatically cut-off from the Arab world since the Arab Spring of 2011, but is working to restore relations, particularly with Kuwait and Qatar.

A report on allAfrica.com said quoted the President Sirleaf saying that the restoration of the relationship with Saudi Arabia is 'on the road.'
