 Young Anti-government demonstrators in the northern Koinadugu district say they've come under police fire. The district youth leader, Mohamed Marah says "police have just started firing teargas and live rounds at us". They are protesting against the government's decision to establish a skills-training Youth Village in another district which they say had been promised them in 2014. Police in the region are not responding to my calls. 

 The District Youth Chairman in Koinadugu, northern ‪#‎SierraLeone‬ says young men and women will embark on street protests today for the second time in a week. Mohamed Marah told me the move was "to demonstrate our frustration over the humiliating treatment by President [Ernest] Koroma and his APC party meted out to us over the promised construction of a Youth Village in the district which has now been moved to Tonkolili". He said the president had in December 2014 promised them the Village, a vocational institute to train the skills of young people and prepare them for entrepreneurship, with construction work to start in January 2015. "Now they've taken it to another district humiliating us as if we are less Sierra Leonean". The government is yet to comment, but sources say big hitters have been sent to the district.
