Two Ghanaian soliders die Southeast Sierra Leone

Nairobi (Kenya) -Two Ghanaian soldiers serving as United Nations peacekeepers were found dead in southern Sierra Leone, radio News reports said on Friday.

A U.N. spokeswoman in the Sierra Leone capital Freetown said the bodies of the two soldiers were found at the end of last month at their posts in the Kenema region. Their deaths were being investigated as possible suicides since there was no evidence they had fallen victim to outside attacks.

The spokeswoman emphasised the morale of the peacekeeping troops in the civil war-plagued West African country was very good.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, during a visit on Tuesday to his homeland Ghana, described the U.N. mission as "indispensable" to the peace process in Sierra Leone.
