Contents Summary

This video features footage from May 31, 1997, six days after the AFRC coup in Sierra Leone ousted democratically elected President Kabbah. It includes shots of smoke rising from buildings, armed rebels riding in the streets of Freetown, and SLA soldiers, presumably loyal to the new AFRC regime, walking down a Freetown street, as well as an incomplete interview with Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyoaku.
