About 130 people have been arrested after anti-government protests in Sierra Leone. It is not yet clear how many civilians were killed - though some sources suggest at least six police officers and at least 21 civilians died.

President Julius Maada Bio spoke to the 蜜芽传媒 a day after the riots 鈥� calling the protests 鈥渢errorism in the highest鈥� and said as a government they had done a lot to address high unemployment and poverty.

Many anti-government protesters in Freetown also called for the president to step down. An eyewitness to the protests, Armani, knew four of those killed by police:

鈥淭hese are not terrorists. People are hungry, this is why people take to the streets to protest.鈥�
