Sierra Leone Accuses Netherlands of Neo-colonialism Over Drug Suspect Extradition

Sierra Leone's Prime Minister has accused Dutch Justice Minister David van Weel of neo-colonialism after Van Weel pressured the West African nation to extradite drug suspect Jos Leijdekkers, also known as 'Bolle Jos'. Van Weel's comments, made in a Sierra Leonean TV interview, were met with strong criticism, with the Prime Minister calling the minister's actions 'scandalous' and asserting Sierra Leone's independence.
