MONROVIA – Former Coalition for Democratic Change (CDC) Chairman and Ambassador-Designate to Italy George Solo has reportedly died while traveling aboard Royal Air Maroc Flight AT200 from Morocco to the United States, according to family sources.
Preliminary accounts indicate that Solo experienced serious medical complications during the flight, prompting an urgent response from medical professionals who were reportedly among the passengers. Sources say emergency procedures were carried out onboard in an effort to stabilize him, but those efforts were unsuccessful.
Individuals claiming to have been on the flight said the aircraft later arrived in the United States with his remains reportedly at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York.
The circumstances surrounding the medical emergency have not yet been officially disclosed, and no formal statement has been issued by Royal Air Maroc at the time of publication.
George Solo was a prominent political figure in Liberia and previously served as Chairman of the Coalition for Democratic Change, one of the country’s major political institutions.
His recent appointment as Ambassador-Designate by President Joseph Nyuma Boakai had kept him in the public eye, adding to the significance of reports surrounding his sudden death.
Political associates, supporters, and members of the CDC are expected to begin issuing tributes as the news spreads.
Family representatives are also expected to provide official confirmation and funeral arrangements in the coming hours or days.
Authorities in the United States and relevant airline officials may also release additional information regarding the incident after standard procedures are completed.
