“Thirteen soldiers were among the 19 killed during Sunday’s violence in Sierra Leone, which saw gunmen attacking a military barracks and prisons, an army spokesman has said,” according to BBC Nov. 27, 2023. Sierra Leone experienced a nationwide curfew due to coordinated attacks on security, involving 13 soldiers, one police officer, one civilian, and a private security employee. 1,890 inmates escaped from a prison. Information Minister Chernoh Bah described the violence as a serious breach, with major leaders being interrogated. President Julius Maada Bio restored order, but a “manhunt” for gunmen and escaped prisoners continues.
