On Friday, December 2, the tragedy occurred when fire broke out during an electronic dance party, killing dozens who could not escape from the dilapidated two-storey warehouse, known locally as the Ghost Ship in Oakland, California.
According to a Foreign Ministry release, President Sirleaf, in her message to her American counterpart, said: “The people of Liberia join me in extending to you and the people of the United States, especially the families of the victims, deepest condolences for this tragedy and irreparable loss.”
The Liberian leader prayed that God Almighty will grant President Obama and the people of the United States courage, strength and fortitude during this period of mourning.
