2023 Global Peace Index: Sierra Leone Ranks 47th
Mohamed Foday Conteh The Australian-based Institute for Economics and Peace has scored Sierra Leone 1.792 in the Global Peace Index, ranking it 47th out of 163 countries worldwide.
The West African country has moved up three places from its 50th position in 2022, with a score of 1.803.
While Sierra Leone improved in the rankings, the report stated that “global peacefulness deteriorated by 0.42 percent.”
According to the Australian institute, this deterioration marks the thirteenth in the past 15 years.
Iceland is ranked as the most peaceful country in the world, a position it has held since 2008.
Other European countries such as Ireland, Denmark, and Austria also rank high in the report.
New Zealand has also achieved a high score in the rankings.
The report states that Afghanistan is the least peaceful country in the world for the eighth consecutive year.
Yemen, along with Syria, South Sudan, and DR Congo, also ranks at the bottom of the report.
This is misleading considering the turbulent and undemocratic elections we have just witnessed, which was marred with irregularities, corruption, malicious actions leading to killing of Sierra Leoneans. As we speak Sierra Leoneans are in the bush in Kailahun running for their lives.. You cannot jump into every bandwagon. These foreign institutes have no idea what is going on in the country and this so called peaceful index did not take the ongoing crisis in to consideration. As a credible media, you should be wary of what you determine as news, especially if it contradicts the reality on the ground. My take.
This index platform is trying but sierra leone results at this point in time is inaccurate. You have to reverify the process sierra leone is not a safe place
May the almighty Allah punish you for your fals information
They might be right
