George Weah launches investigation into mining contracts before handing over to Joseph Boakai

Outgoing Liberian President George Weah has criticised his government and some advisers for duping him in order to benefit from the mining industry's largesse. Before the new head of state takes over, he is trying to shed light on the highly sensitive case of ArcelorMittal, Solway Mining and HPX.

George Weah irks Washington and Robert Friedland with mine transfers to ArcelorMittal

Liberia has withdrawn licences from mining firms without informing them. Solway Mining, which was about to launch its iron ore project, has lost its asset to ArcelorMittal, which is strengthening its grip on iron ore production and its rail line monopoly to the detriment of Robert Friedland's US company HPX.
