The diamond-rich town of Koidu in eastern Sierra Leone has been put under mandatory curfew after turmoil broke out within the local community, which led to rioting and people shooting at police.
Reuters reports that a civil leader observed at least two bodies lying in the streets with visible gunshot wounds. Local police also say several youth targeted police with shotguns, although nobody was reported dead.
The tension arose in response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak, which has taken the lives of more than 1,200 people in Sierra Leone. According to the United Nations, more than 3,700 cases of Ebola have been reported in the country, although the World Health Organization recently revealed that the numbers in the country could be being underreported by a factor of 2.
