Sierra Leone President Arrests Unrest Leaders, Declares Curfew

Sierra Leone's President Julius Maada Bio announced that most of the leaders behind the recent armed attack in the capital have been arrested, as the government declared a nationwide curfew. The government claims to be in control of the situation following the attack on a military armoury, which occurred amidst months of post-election unrest. Security operations and investigations are ongoing, with the government vowing to bring those responsible to justice. The country's civil aviation authority has urged airlines to reschedule flights, while calm is slowly returning to the capital. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has condemned the attempt to disturb constitutional order in Sierra Leone.
