It's true. I hope the innuendo is well taken. More than one country has been attacked or stricken by the deadly virus and it could be any one of them that could be bowled out or caught by Leg Before Wicket (LBW).
Sierra Leone female journalist explains 24-hour experience behind bars
By Aminata Phidelia Allie
As a journalist, I always expected to go to prison someday. What I never thought about was that it would happen so early in my career.

Counting the socio-economic cost of Ebola in Sierra Leone
By Memuna Forna
Ebola’s socio-economic backlash could be as devastating as the disease itself.

Interview: Sierra Leone's Ebola doctor feared for his life
In June, Sierra Leone's viral haemorrhagic fever specialist, Dr Skeh Umar Khan spoke to Politico. That was before he tested positive for Ebola and subsequently died. We first asked him how the fight against Ebola was going on.

Politico: You mean those who came in with it and then you’ve treated them and they no longer have Ebola?
Sierra Leoneans on my mind, Again!
By Khadi Mansaray
