Tension...
It appears that things aren't going as smoothly as we all had hoped...
BBC: Emergency threat in Sierra Leone
It's difficult to say what the situation on the ground actually is, especially with the SLPP currently losing the elections and the TV station the BBC quotes being state run (ie pro-SLPP). The article fails to mention that the smaller of the two opposition parties, the PMDC, is a break away faction of the SLPP. Since the PMDC is only a year or so old, the deeply tribal & traditional voting patterns may re-emerge as the PMDC regulars return to the SLPP, despite Margai, head of the PMDC, pledging his support for the APC. We'll see how the situation develops.
