An armed raid in Sierra Leone’s capital, Freetown, resulted in over 2,000 prisoners escaping from barracks and prisons. The government labeled the attacks as coordinated and launched a search operation. Rewards of $2,000 for information on attackers and $1,000 for escaped prisoners were announced. A nationwide nighttime curfew remains in place as authorities work to address the situation.
