WASHINGTON, , Safar 01, 1437, November 13, 2015, SPA -- The United States lifted economic sanctions against Liberia on Thursday as President Barack Obama cited the country's "tremendous progress" and commitment to democracy since emerging from civil war in 2003, the White House said, according to Reuters. "The United States congratulates the people of Liberia for their determination, ingenuity, and commitment to peace and democracy that has made this possible," National Security Council spokesman Ned Price said in a statement. --SPA 00:41 LOCAL TIME 21:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
