Australian on child sex charges
The Age – Aug 19, 2004
Halloran was questioned by Sierra Leone police in late July but was not detained as there was little evidence to support allegations of inappropriate sexual contact. His Australia-based lawyer Paul Duggan said earlier this month that Halloran has denied any wrongdoing. The war crimes court had conducted its own internal investigation months earlier but found no evidence to support the charges, court spokesman Peter Andersen said. “When the report was first made to the court, an inquiry was conducted but it found that there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations,” he said…

News 500 illegal immigrants turned back – News from Spain – Expatica
Expatica – Aug 19, 2004
The vessel, with more than 500 people aboard, was intercepted as it set off from Sierra Leone, the Spanish national government representative in the Canary Islands, José Segura, announced on Monday. Segura said the planned voyage had been uncovered in a joint operation carried out by security forces in Sierra Leone, neighbouring Guinea Conakry, and Spain. He said more boats were being prepared for the journey to the Canaries from west Africa in what appeared to be a new strategy on the part of the people smugglers â carrying the would-be immigrants directly from their home region. Until now most boat people have left from the shores of Morocco and the Western Sahara, directly to the east of the Canaries. But the growing number of boat seizures in recent months has prompted the organised gangs involved in people smuggling to look for new routes he added.
Editorial: Genocide in Africa
Arab News – Aug 19, 2004
Yet despite the intervention of the United Nations and agreements between the three governments to end the massacres, the killing goes on. Most recently, 160 Congolese Tutsi refugees in Burundi were massacred by Hutu thugs from the Congo. In West Africa, the carnage in Liberia and Cameroon and Sierra Leone seems to have been halted, at least for the present but the region remains chronically unstable. Diplomats remain concerned that whatever peace exists in those brutalized societies may not last. All of these conflicts are notable for the merciless incoherence of the terrorists. The humane instinct of the outside world to do something, anything to help, most honorably takes the form of providing aid and shelter to the victims of these wicked crimes. This upsurge of petty but bloody conflicts has occurred since the end of the Cold War.
