Digging tru past newspapers is mind-boggling! Feels like a deja vu in a simulation. Same issues, different dates & political parties. Barram aims for Middle Level Income by 2035, while Former Pres. Ernest Bai Koroma promises donor status 2036.Let's break the cycle #MoveForward

Democracy knows no party lines! Visa restrictions in Sierra Leone apply to ALL, no matter your political party Anyone undermining democracy faces these measures. This is 🤔 something to think about...

Despite the controversies surrounding #ICC's invite, Barram concluded a productive meeting with Int'l Criminal Court Prosecutor, Karim Khan. Khan stressed the value of strong partnerships in advancing international justice & expressed desire to collaborate with #SierraLeone.

Sad news today as we learn that our Former British High Commissioner to -#SierraLeone, Paramount Chief Peter Penford is terribly sick. His dedication to diplomacy & contributions to 🇬🇧 & 🇸🇱 relations will be remembered. Our thoughts are with his family & loved ones.

#DYK: In its heyday, Sierra Leone Railway sustained 10,000+ jobs, but it was more than that—it was a lifeline for 1.5 million rural people, connecting their livelihoods to its rhythm. #SierraLeoneRailway #EconomicLifeline

While the US & her allies blinded by Cold War nostalgia, China's influence in Africa grows. Shocking findings from Telegraph expose a critical situation in SierraLeone. Chinese investors, with the help of corrupt officials, exploit resources, endangering lives & the environment.

#SierraLeone's government is seemingly tilting the country's direction towards the East. The irony here is that this shift closely mirrors the one executed by the previous #APC government, a move that faced strong criticism from the #SLPP while they were in opposition.

The claim that President Bio has already dismissed the suspended Auditor-General, Mrs. Lara Taylor-Pearce is misleading. The President has however directed his officials to begin the appropriate constitutional process for her removal. More: sl.i-verify.org/no-president-b…
