VIOLATIONS of a week-old ceasefire between rebel forces and the government side in war-wracked Sierra Leone have been reported to the United Nations, observers said on Tuesday. The UN Observer Mission in Sierra Leone (Unomsil) ”continues to receive reports of violations or attempted violations of the ceasefire which can put the peace talks in Togo at risk,” the statement said. President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah’s government and rebels of the Revolutionary United Front are engaged in negotiations in the Togolese capital Lome. The UN mission did not elaborate further on the reports, but other independent sources said that renegade soldiers of the Sierra Leone’s former army have been seen setting up roadblocks in the Okra Hills area, some 50km from the capital.
