Sierra Leone's sprawling slums under threat of eviction

  • 9 years ago
In Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, there are many provisional neighborhoods built by poor people where tens of thousands live. Impoverished people have organized and built their neighborhoods on empty lots, where they live under tough conditions; but at least they have a place where to live. Due to the lack of sanitary conditions in the slums which does little to keep the dangerous Ebola virus contained, the government has threatened to destroy the shanty-towns the dwellers of whom have no other place to go. teleSUR
