Photos as Sierra Leone mourns 100 dead in explosion

The bodies of the 100 victims killed in an explosion near the capital Freetown in Sierra Leone last week were buried in a mass ceremony on Monday.

An accident that disrupted diplomatic trips of the Sierra Leonean President Julius Maada Bio in recent days, has claimed the lives of more than 100 people and injured around 100.

«Today we mourn and say goodbye to our brothers and sisters. This is a loss to Sierra Leone. Let us continue to pray for those who are in hospitals. As a country, we should work collectively to resolve that this will never happen again. May their souls Rest In Peace» said the president Julius Maada Bio Yesterday.

Obviously, the famous Muslim scholar Mufti Menk did not remain indifferent following this tragedy which sparked off reactions around the world.

I'm deeply saddened by the tragedy in #SierraLeone. May Allah Almighty grant Paradise to those who lost their lives and a speedy recovery to the injured. May He grant ease and comfort to all involved. Bear patience during these trying times. We stand with you during your loss.
