        This makes me sad. I was very impressed with how peaceful the elections went too. I even visited during the time between the initial voting and the run off. Still, we have come far compared to when I lived there 8 years ago 🇸🇱

        In Africa, people who intend to become "leaders" must first murder civilians, the very people that they intend to lead by "example" and indeed setting an example for the next "leadership", hence becoming a routine and a norm for African leadership, Absurd.

        Without sounding to esoteric, I believe they are called blood sacrifices. These are also done in the west and far eastern hemisphere.

        Sierra Leone again?! God what is Africa's offence? Is it that big to forgive? Why are we saddled with such leaders and foolishness?

        I think its more to do with the systematic miseducation and an acute lack of self discipline. Less to do with appeasing some "gods" and begging for forgiveness.
