Monrovia, Liberia (AFP) — Violence marred the close of Liberian President George Weah's re-election campaign on Sunday, with scuffles between his supporters and members of the opposition breaking out during a parade in capital Monrovia, an AFP journalist saw.

No official toll was available on Sunday evening, but AFP counted at least five men with injuries, some with large gashes on their heads.

Supporters of former football star Weah's political group, the Coalition for Democratic Change and members from the opposition ALCOP, threw stones at each other, and in response, police fired tear gas.
