The United States Embassy in Sierra Leone has criticized the attempted coup in the West African country on Sunday morning.
In the wee hours of Sunday, a coup attempt in Sierra Leone’s capital city was foiled, leading to a chaotic situation with intense gunfire.
The military’s arsenal base was reportedly invaded and robbed, leading to a violent confrontation between the coup conspirators and the government’s troops.
Reacting via its office X handle on Sunday, the US embassy in Sierra Leone expressed strong disapproval of the action and called for cooperation with government security forces.
The embassy also emphasized the importance of adhering to the government’s curfew guidelines for personal safety. The United States, through its embassy in the country, affirmed its support for “a peaceful, democratic, and prosperous Sierra Leone.”
