Top honour gets mixed response

Monrovia – Liberian football star-turned-president George Weah has won world headlines by conferring his country’s top honour on his former boss Arsene Wenger – but back home, not everyone is happy.

Some Liberians questioned the timing of such a ceremony, as the poor nation grapples with runaway inflation. –
