I am in Sierra Leone and this caused quite a stir here in Freetown. But it really does look like a bad case of food poisoning. And they do not need any Muslims helping out, the food handling methods are quite sufficient all by themselves to allow this to happen.
I have never been in such a dirty place, even after three tours in AFG.
My son went to Nigeria to do QC on one of their projects. He said everything was grossly overcooked to kill all the “bugs”. And they were in a walled compound with food that was shipped in. Then he went to a ship and found the same thing.
