Minister reveals that the prison breaks in Sierra Leone were organized.

Gunmen in Sierra Leone carried out a well-planned attack on a military barracks, resulting in the release of numerous prisoners, according to the country's information minister. As a result, a nationwide curfew was imposed in the capital city of Freetown. Witnesses reported armed men on the streets vowing to "clean" Sierra Leone. The information minister described the attack as a serious breach and stated that current and former military officials were involved, some of whom have been detained. The government is investigating whether the incident was an attempted coup. Other countries in the region, including Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Chad, are currently under military rule after recent coups. The situation in Sierra Leone has been tense since President Bio's re-election in June, with concerns raised about the fairness of the electoral process and reports of violence and intimidation. In response to the violence, international organizations such as the US, European Union, and the UK have condemned the attack. The government has imposed a new curfew in the evenings and is actively conducting a manhunt for the gunmen and escaped prisoners.
