    Donors should create jobs for the unemployed youth of Sierra Leone to help the country maintain the peace it has achieved after years of war, World Bank President Robert Zoellick said as reported by Reuters. Zoellick, who is on a three-country African tour, also praised Sierra Leone’s efforts to promote democracy and encouraged the country to strengthen its battle against corruption.
