Aliens and real property in Liberia

Mosquitoes and a tropical climate have not been the only deterrents to alien settlement in certain parts of Anglophonic West Africa. In many countries, even before the independence movement, restrictions were placed upon non-African use and purchase of real estate. The general opposition to permanent colonization by large real estate holdings in the area supported this type of regulation. Now that insecticides and air conditioning units have reduced the effectiveness of the natural deterrents, only the laws remain.
