According to a Sky News report released last week, Liberian authorities have already given a go signal for the shoot-on-sight command for people from another Ebola-stricken country, Sierra Leone, who attempt escape the isolation in their country.

Soldiers at the Grand Cape Mount County are assigned in 35 known illegal entry points where illegal crossers are to be shot upon being seen.

According to reports, isolation has been seen as the most effective way of geographically containing the virus that has so far taken nearly 1,500 lives and has affected many more in the region alone.

However, many Liberians seem to respond negatively with isolation as violent encounters with the military have been rampant since the country was hit with the outbreak.

The World Health Organization has expressed its concern on undetected Ebola cases due because of the social stigma brought about by conspiracies revolving in Liberia.

Over the past week, violent encounters with young male Liberians from slum areas have forced their way to Ebola treatment facilities and ransacked the place.

They looted bloody mattresses and contaminated materials from the facility and freed 30 Ebola patients who have been quarantined for observation.

Though the patients were later found and returned to isolation, authorities have no idea how many other residents they made contact with who might caught the illness.

A few days after, riots emerged as the terrified police force fled the scene in the slums of West Point, Liberia as they protest the supposed deception of their government.

Most of the demonstrators believe that their government officials made up the Ebola outbreak to scare them out of their settlement area.
