Sierra Leone ‘will not be intimidated

Bockarie Massaquoi, a cab driver in Freetown, believes that Sierra Leone is too far away and too complicated for al-Shabab to reach. “I think they want to scare us, but I’m not worried,” said Massaquoi. He thinks that the militant group is just trying to intimidate his country. Menunatu Pratt heads the department of peace and conflict studies at Sierra Leone’s Fourah Bay University. She says it is a big step forward for Sierra Leone to provide troops to other countries.
