 | | The AFRC coup was accompanied by an explosion of violence against civilians throughout the nation; the key strategic change was that the RUF had immediate access throughout the country, something they had failed to achieve through six years of military action. |
| | To justify the AFRC coup, Koroma cited corruption, the erosion of State sovereignty, over-dependance on foreign nations, and the failure of the Government of Sierra Leone to adequately address tensions between the SLA and government supported tribally-based militia movements, in particular the Kamajors. |
| | Koroma's story is very much that of the AFRC, and indeed the failings of the Abidjan Peace Accord struck between the Government of Sierra Leone and the RUF on 30 November 1996. |
