Sierra Leone: Violence
- Question
-
To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to help de-escalate violence in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
- Answer
-
The UK condemns the violence which took place on Sunday 26 November. We welcomed President Bio's call for unity and commitment to hold those responsible to account, and the statements from all political parties denouncing the violence. We continue to follow the situation closely and to engage Government, political parties and other stakeholders on the response to the 26 November events.
Following potential discrepancies in the electoral process in June, the UK continues to work with all stakeholders implementing the commitments made in the post-election peace dialogue, and to support a democratic, peaceful and prosperous Sierra Leone.
