SUP Condemns Mulbah Morlu’s Planned Protest, Describes Him As “Spineless”

The Student Unification Party (SUP), the vanguard student political movement at the University of Liberia, has strongly condemned the planned protest action recently announced by Mulbah K. Morlu, former Chairman of the Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC). In a statement issued on Tuesday, SUP described Morlu’s proposed protest as a “desperate and politically bankrupt maneuver” lacking the moral authority, clarity of purpose, or genuine support to mobilize the Liberian people. “Mulbah Morlu has no credibility to lead any protest for the Liberian people,” SUP declared. “This is the same man who remained silent when ordinary Liberians cried out under the weight of economic hardship and bad governance during the CDC regime.” The student movement, known for its historical role in national advocacy, further criticized Morlu for what it termed “an opportunistic ploy to rebrand himself at the expense of genuine grassroots struggle.” “Liberians will not be fooled,” the statement continued. “You cannot suddenly claim to be the voice of the people after serving as a mouthpiece for the very establishment that undermined democratic institutions and ignored public suffering.” SUP described Morlu as “spineless and inconsistent,” stating that his history of political flip-flopping disqualifies him from leading any movement rooted in the people’s interest. According to SUP, the right to protest is protected under Liberia’s democratic framework, but that right must be exercised with integrity, purpose, and a commitment to truth. “Protests must be anchored in principle, not political survival,” the group asserted. The student organization urged Liberians, particularly the youth, to remain vigilant and not be misled by recycled politicians with questionable intentions. “We stand with the masses of our people in their quest for a better Liberia,” SUP emphasized. “But that struggle must be led by honest actors, not individuals seeking relevance.” SUP reaffirmed its historical mandate to speak truth to power and defend democratic values. The group noted that it remains actively engaged in monitoring governance, advocating for educational reform, and defending student and civil liberties. The statement concluded by calling on national security institutions to remain professional and non-partisan in the days ahead, while ensuring the safety of all citizens regardless of political affiliation. “Liberia belongs to all of us,” SUP declared. “Let us not allow self-serving actors to once again hijack the hopes and dreams of the Liberian people.”
