Saywin and Debee Families Seek Resolution Over Land Dispute in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County
On October 15, 2024, in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County, the Liberia Land Authority (LLA) Office in collaboration with Save My Future Foundation (SAMFU) held a consultative meeting between the Saywin and Debee families. The meeting took place at the City Hall and aimed to address the land dispute between the two families. This was followed by a site visit on October 17, 2024, to the disputed land located in the Gbao Administrative District. The visit was crucial in understanding the on-ground realities and the extent of the dispute. During the site visit, both the Saywin and Debee families agreed to have the Liberia Land Authority resurvey the entire disputed land. The objective is to ensure a fair distribution of the land among parties, preventing future conflicts and fostering harmony within the community. This collaborative decision marks a significant step towards resolving the dispute. Madam Agnes Saywin had earlier reported the land issue to the Liberia Land Authority, highlighting that Alex Debee and other members of the Saywin family had signed a 40-year lease agreement with the Burkinabes without her consent. This agreement prompted her to seek intervention for a fair allocation of her family’s customary land. The outcome of this consultative meeting and site visit reflects the community’s commitment to resolving land disputes amicably and ensuring justice for all parties involved. The resurveying of the land by the Liberia Land Authority is expected to bring clarity and equitable distribution, setting a example for conflicts in the future. -30-

SAMFU AND LRA SOLVES LAND Dispute Resolution in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County: As families Agree to Resurvey Land
On October 15 and 16, 2024, a significant dispute mediation meeting was held in Zleh City, Grand Gedeh County, Liberia, addressing a land conflict between the Seoh and Gaye families. The consultative gathering, organized by the Liberia Land Authority Dispute Office alongside Save My Future Foundation (SAMFU), aimed to resolve a longstanding dispute over customary land in the Gbao Administrative District. The meetings included a site visit to the disputed land, located approximately two and a half hours from Zleh City near the Ivory Coast border. During the visit, it was discovered that four families, rather than the previously believed three, reside on the disputed land. The oversight had excluded the Seoh family, bringing the total number of affected families to four. Amidst the mediation efforts, all four families residing on the disputed land reached an agreement. They agreed that the Liberia Land Authority should resurvey and redistribute the land amongst them to prevent future conflicts. This decision marked a significant step towards resolving the dispute and promoting harmony among the involved families. The community’s cooperative spirit and the successful facilitation by the Liberia Land Authority and SAMFU reflect a positive move towards addressing customary land conflicts in the region. The resolution of this dispute is expected to set a precedent for handling similar conflicts in the future, fostering peace and stability in the area.
