Former President of Sierra Leone Placed Under House Supervision

The situation in Sierra Leone appears to be quite tense, with the former president, Ernest Bai Koroma, under house supervision following the recent violence and the government’s assertion of an attempted coup d’état on November 26.

It’s concerning that Mr. Koroma’s former guards are suspected of being involved in the violence. The reported attacks on military and law enforcement facilities resulting in casualties are indeed troubling.

The government’s decision to place Mr. Koroma under house supervision, a move contested by the opposition as tantamount to house detention, raises questions about the handling of the situation and the former president’s involvement. The presence of a significant number of police officers around his home further underscores the seriousness of the situation.

It’s crucial for the authorities to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation to determine the facts surrounding the violence and to ensure that justice is served. The safety and stability of Sierra Leone are paramount, and it’s important for all parties involved to work towards a peaceful resolution and the restoration of order.
