The owner of VBS.TV, VICE, has written an open letter of apology to Liberia for a documentary produced on the country.
Vice is an American online television network that produced a documentary on Liberia which Government considers damaging to the image of the country.
In the letter, the group said it apologizes for any harm the documentary may have caused the image of the country.
The group said it really intended portraying the recovery of Liberia following fourteen years of civil conflict.
Last week government expressed disdain over the documentary and said a formal communication would be sent to the Cable News Network after the CNN posted the video on its website.
CNN is yet to respond to the Government‘s communication.
