Comments:
Sierra Leone is experiencing the Harmatten wind, (December to March) which is a dry dusty wind blowing across the Sahara desert right through costal West African countries, causing bush fires which leads to the burning of huge farmlands, villages and other environmental entities. Bompilia village in Bonthe district and Dandabu village in Pujehun district lost all 45 houses in the two communities excluding a mosque and 10 fishing bands. Other subsistence resources like fishing nets and accessories were all burnt. This has rendered the residents in the two communities homeless and deprived of basic leaving standards.
