Further Riots Hit Naizerre over Small Payments Tibo Matombe

The Small Payments controversy continued to rumble despite a string of arrests of current and former government officials and resulted in another day of protests and riots in the western city of Walombë, the epicenter of the scandal. Small Payments were payments paid by the Mboto Jones regime to a large number of foreign nationals to provide expertise to Naizerri workers in the Home Affairs Department. When the government fell, these experts left the country with enough Small Payment money that legally required them to provide a further 18 months of support. A number of the experts were also linked with the banned paramilitary organisation the 52, which committed a number of atrocities during the unrest that led to Mboto Jones overthrow. Warrants are currently out for the arrest of all members of the 52 and 17 foreign nationals who all received Small Payments money.
