Koidu–New Sembehun, town, east-central Sierra Leone, adjacent to Sefadu. It is a trade centre for rice, palm oil and kernels, and cattle (from Guinea). Much of the town’s development is attributed to its location in the diamond-mining area leased by the Sierra Leone Selection Trust. After Koidu was amalgamated with nearby New Sembehun, it became one of the largest urban centres in Sierra Leone. Pop. (2004) 80,025.
