Sierra Leone's Turmoil: Attacks, Arrests, and Escapes
Fresh gunfire was heard in a suburb of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, as security forces searched for suspects linked to a jailbreak and a failed attack on a military barracks that resulted in over 13 deaths. Dozens of inmates escaped during the jailbreak, and a manhunt is underway to recapture them. The country has imposed a nationwide curfew, and flights have been disrupted at Freetown International Airport. The motive behind the attacks is still under investigation, and the international community has condemned the violence.
