Description
As Sierra Leoneans head to the polls June 24 to select their next president, the growing economic hardship is on everyone’s mind. At a market in downtown Freetown, traders and bike drivers talk about the rampant inflation in one of the world’s poorest countries. “We are suffering because we who are doing business, when we go to buy everything is up,” says Neneh Koroma, a trader. As of March, the latest month on record, yearly inflation stood at 41.5 percent. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
