Liberian fighters handing in arms

The long delayed disarmament process in Liberia has resumed after a two month information campaign.
The six-month long exercise begins in Gbarnga, a stronghold of the rebel Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD).

It was postponed in February after rows over how much cash fighters would receive for their guns.

The UN expects some 40,000 fighters in Liberia to hand in their weapons in return for about $300 each.
