Freetown

Location of Embassy compound and its immediate surroundings (U) The U.S. Embassy in Freetown is located in the center of the city of Freetown on a small hilltop. The entire compound is surrounded by a wall and fencing with limited access to the main structure. The compound is approximately 11.4 acres with the main building being approximately 6,700 sq meters.1 There is a small neighborhood to the south-west and another to the north-east. Both these neighborhoods are at a slightly lower elevation then the main compound. (U) Analysis Comment: The location of the embassy compound is very conducive to a defensive position. With its fairly clear visibility and limited avenues of approach, perimeter security can be set up quickly. The fact that the compound encompasses 11.4 acres makes housing a Battalion and its assets manageable.…

With no parents or living adult to support her and living in a refugee camp, she turned…

The author of Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Chernoh Alpha M.Bah, explanation of the outbreak in Sierra Leon and how it influences people’s perception and the response to Ebola from both the political and social perceptive, is one of my favourite reading as it correlates to the topics discuss in lectures so far.
