# Liberia Drug Cartel Infiltration Report Warns of 'Narco-State' Risk
A confidential intelligence report submitted to Liberian President Joseph Boakai in 2025 has been obtained by FrontPageAfrica, revealing deep infiltration of drug cartels within the country. The report warned that Liberia risked becoming a "narco-state" as a result of the organized criminal activity.
The disclosure of this classified assessment comes as Liberia is already dealing with the fallout from an ongoing investigation into the seizure of cocaine valued at more than US$19 million. This substantial drug bust appears to have prompted or coincided with the intelligence review that identified systemic vulnerabilities to cartel operations.
The obtaining and publication of what was described as a confidential intelligence document represents a significant breach of classified government information, raising questions about the severity of the situation facing Liberian authorities and the state's capacity to combat large-scale drug trafficking operations.
