Why we call this blog "Sierra Leone's Invisible War"

Sierra Leone's Invisible War refers to the battle against the Ebola virus.  People here say that life under the threat of Ebola is similar to life during the civil war, but with a difference.  The enemy is unseen but just as deadly. 

We are two professors at American University's School of International Service, in Sierra Leone for a short time, conducting research on various socio-cultural aspects of Ebola and the war against it.  We intend this blog to reflect on some issues that we are observing that may not be captured in the popular media.
