Sierra Leone is threatened by drug traffickers. If not dealt with timely, it may escalate into a drug gang-war involving most ex-combatants who are very desperate to make a living. How should Koroma handle this problem?

The Koroma government recently signed a mining agreement with Mexivada Mining Corp; to mine diamonds near Koidu Town. What this government and previous governments do not care to take into consideration is the welfare of the residents of Kono District. For the millions of dollars that are generated from the diamond mining fields in Kono district, the district is plagued with serious environmental problems and there are no paved roads, no drinking water, no electricity, no decent schools, and no social services to help the residents of Kono. Yet Mexivada Mining Corp; has invested only $25,000 in return for 60% of the diamond revenues. Why should Koroma allow this to happen?
