Senators propose relocating Liberia's capital, Monrovia, due to flooding and infrastructure issues.

Flooding in Liberia has prompted a group of senators to propose relocating the capital city, Monrovia, due to overpopulation, poor sewage systems and lack of building regulation. Severe flooding in June-July left 50,000 people in need and devastated the capital. A senate joint committee suggested establishing a new city to replace Monrovia, receiving mixed reactions.
