Julius Maada Bio: Will Sierra Leone see more military coups?

The president of Sierra Leone discusses how his country is recovering from years of conflict and government corruption.

Like most countries in Africa, Sierra Leone is rich in resources.

Mining, particularly iron ore, diamonds and rutile, have led to economic growth in recent years.

But despite its natural wealth, 60 percent of the population live in poverty.

President Julius Maada Bio came to power in 2018, determined to fight corruption and turn things around.

So, after more than two years in office, is he succeeding?
