COCORIOKO COMMENT
However, Sierra Leoneans on the social media have been arguing bitterly whether these restrictions are capable of stopping a military coup in Sierra Leone. While a good many supported the restrictions and believed that they will keep the soldiers in the barracks, majority of Sierra Leoneans opined that the measures were not enough. Sierra Leoneans said the only deterrent to military coups anywhere is good governance, as well as adherence to democracy and respect for the constitution and human rights.
