Africa in Focus: Sierra Leone

By: Welsh, Lily

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The African nation of Sierra Leone has a troubled history of civil war and has struggled with a corrupt political system for many years. The history of the country offers clues as to how ethnic tensions reached the boiling point and why some international observers consider the government one of the world's most corrupt. The story of Sierra Leone doesn't end there, however. Explore the surprisingly vibrant music scene and diverse population of the country that often goes unreported in headlines.
