Fox News
Former Sierra Leonean President Ernest Bai Koroma has been charged with treason for his alleged role in a failed November coup attempt.
On Nov. 26, dozens of gunmen launched an attack in the West African nation’s capital of Freetown during which they broke into Sierra Leone’s key armory and into a prison where the majority of the more than 2,000 inmates were freed.
At least 18 members of the security forces were killed during the clashes. More than 50 suspects, including military officers, have been arrested so far.
