“President Koroma and the government of Sierra Leone will never interfere in the politics of a sister country since it is the sovereign right of Liberians, just as Sierra Leoneans would do on March 2018, to determine who should govern them. But a spokesperson in the Sierra Leonean government told FrontPageAfrica that the post is “fake news”. In 1983, Army General Thomas Quiwonkpa fled to Sierra Leone after being charged with attempting a Coup d’etat. During the Taylor reign, Sierra Leone Armed Forces clashed with the Armed Forces of Liberia, which left several people dead. Liberia became independent in 1847, while Sierra Leone remained a colony of the United Kingdom until 1961.
