Liberia’s armed forces chief of staff said the country’s new post-war military wants to be the army of the people, not one that willfully murders civilians and commits other human rights violations.

Brigadier General Daniel Ziakhan made the comments while discussing the guilty verdict given to five soldiers for their role in August's Ebola-related shooting in the West Point slum of Monrovia.
