29 April: ECOMOG troops and Kamajor militiamen, backed by tanks and fighter jets, captured Masiaka from rebel forces on Thursday, according to ECOMOG spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Chris Olukolade. "The battle for Masiaka was fierce, but we overran their positions and have taken firm control of the town, and we are now mopping up the rebels outside the town and establishing defences in and around the town,'' Olukolade said. Reuters quoted a "senior presidential aide" as saying that with the capture of Masiaka, the highway leading to Sierra Leone's provincial capitals could be reopened and shipment of food and fuel supplies to the interior could resume. "Masiaka was one of the rebels' biggest bases in the country. Its recapture will put more pressure on them to talk peace sincerely,'' he said. Masiaka had been under rebel control since its capture from Guinean ECOMOG troops in December.
