Expelled from the US and now in limbo in Sierra Leone
By Umaru Fofana
BBC News, Freetown
8 March 2020
Saren Idaho said he has no connection to Sierra Leone and had never been to the country until he was deported there from the US six months ago.
"I know nobody here," lamented the 55-year-old father of two.
Looking unwell and struggling to walk, he sat down on a plastic chair in his sparsely furnished hotel room in the capital, Freetown. As he was talking he played with a pack of cigarettes and several butts were squashed in an ashtray beside him.
At least this was better than the crowded police cell, where he slept on the floor "with cockroaches, rats and bed bugs" for the first five months of his time here.
