What happened after the Sierra Leone genocide?After the genocide lots of things happened some good and some bad. Many people left their hometowns to find better shelter from the horrors of war and, many remained in Freetown, hoping to find a better future in the city after the end of the war. Because of high unemployment rates people with no other choice had to hang around spots that were visited by foreigners and other wealthy people in order to get some money for washing parked cars. Sadly enough, even young children that are passing by will reach out to strangers for food or money. However, the poorly diversified economy, underdeveloped infrastructure, bad education system, not much markets are around, and weak capacity to manage these resources for the benefit of all its citizens, mean that Sierra Leone's potential is most likely to remain bad and not become a new and better potential for some time to come.
