AFP: Sierra Leone will return property taken by former regime

Just a nice sign of the character of the president and aim to rout corruption.

The Sierra Leone government will return all property seized by the country's former military regime to their owners, Information and Communication Minister Ibrahim Ben Kargbo said Wednesday...
Property belonging to businessmen, opposition politicians and ordinary citizens was seized during Valentine Strasser's 1992-96 military rule. Once Parliament approves the plans, all property would be returned, Kargbo said.
