As Sierra Leone’s biggest and most widely read digital newspaper, with readership in Sierra Leone and forums all over social media, Cocorioko extends our deepest and heartfelt condolence to the families, friends, associates and supporters of the many Sierra Leoneans killed during the Sunday November 26 coup attempt in Freetown.
Violence of any kind and for whatever purpose is unacceptable in our civilized world. We believe in the efficacy of peaceful dialogue and negotiations and the peaceful resolution of our conflicts.
We are a small nation and we are not only interrelated but we are bound by ethnic, regional, cultural ties and intermarriage. We have to unite as a nation .
We pray for the peaceful repose of the souls and eternal security of all fallen countrymen and women. May God grant them eternal bliss and comfort the hearts of all concerned.
We hope that the government will thoroughly and judicially investigate the circumstances leading to their deaths and those found guilty be punished according to law.
