		Kenema is a drab city of about 150,000 people.
		The truth is that Kenema survives in more ways than one on the rebel diamond miners.

		From where I was in Kenema, we knew the upheaval was coming because of the rebellious attitudes of soldiers and their treatment of civilians.
		I was an associate editor of the fiery Democrat, and from my base in Kenema, 150 miles east of Freetown, I wrote a number of articles, warning, advising, urging and many times blaming the government for its careless approach to an issue that could plunge our nation into anarchy.
		The soldiers did not confront the Kamajors, who they were scared of because of their legendary mystical powers, but raided houses and engaged in massive looting, brutalising anyone perceived as one of their supporters.

	Merlin :: Obituary: Dr Aniru Conteh (The Independent) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		When rebel forces overran the town of Kenema in the Eastern Province of Sierra Leone, in February 1997 and then later in 1999, the government buildings were looted and burnt, and most of the government workers fled before them.
		With the diamond mines of Tongo to the north attracting migrant workers from across Africa, and waves of rebels and refugees crossing and re-crossing the eastern border with Liberia, stability has eluded Kenema for much of the last decade.
		Conteh was instrumental in 1996 in assisting Merlin, the London-based medical-relief organisation, to establish a programme in Sierra Leone, which included support for the Lassa isolation ward and Lassa fever control programme in the region.
