[Liberian Observer] There was a time when national security meant soldiers at the border, checkpoints on highways, and watchful eyes along the Mano River. Today, that definition is dangerously incomplete. The most sensitive assets of the modern state -- identity, health records, land records, financial data, and movement patterns -- no longer sit in guarded vaults. They live in servers. They move through code. They are processed, stored, and controlled in digital systems that, for Liberia, are increasingly not its own.
