Liberia
In Liberia, one of the most unstable countries in West Africa, the proportion of Muslims is around 25-35%. In addition, most of the population is composed of Christianized indigenous people and groups following local African religions. The majority of six of the 16 ethnic groups in the country are Muslims. The most numerous of these are the Mandingo natives, who are scattered in neighboring countries, especially Guinea.
The arrival of Islam in Liberia is about a thousand years old, dating back to the 10th century. Islam reached this region, along with the rest of West Africa, through the missionary activities of Moroccan Muslim scholars.
The land is mostly covered with " untouched" forests and although the country is rich in diamonds, rubber, iron, timber, and fisheries, 85% of the population is unemployed. This is mainly because the country's most important sources of income are owned by US-based companies. Fisheries are also mostly administered by European countries.
