Oped: Sierra Leone Finds Itself in a Dire Situation
Morlai Ibrahim Kamara Popular Female Attorney Basita Micheal has opined that Sierra Leone is in a dire situation as many to rely solely on prayers. She expressed her opinion following the current political rift in the country.
Below is her opinion about the status quo of the country
“Sierra Leone finds itself in a dire situation, leaving many to rely solely on prayers for a better future.The government’s unwavering arrogance and inefficiency,the disorganisation and ineffectiveness within the opposition,intellectually dishonest civil society members focused on self-interest,and the international community’s selective attention to election fraud while overlooking governance lapses contribute to the disillusionment felt by many people.
Regrettably they fail to acknowledge the erosion of the fundamental preconditions necessary for democracy, peace, and stability.Over time, they have prioritized self-preservation at the expense of supporting free and fair elections,the rule of law, and human rights.The recent polls merely serve as the latest example of democratic regression perpetuated by their collective failure.
Meanwhile,the ruling elite continues with business as usual seemingly unaffected by the injustices, deprivation,and suffering endured by most Sierra Leoneans.
To salvage the situation,it is imperative for both political parties and civil society to engage in introspection.Only through such collective introspection and acknowledging the erosion of democratic principles,placing sincere self-reflection at the core of their endeavours,there will be hope to rebuild trust in the political establishment and reclaim a future that upholds the values of justice,accountability,and respect for the rights of all Sierra Leoneans”
Very Thoughtful..👍
God bless you Maa
This issue will continue to escalate if measures are not put in place
Thank you
What a sad story in Sierra Leone’s democratic history. People are just emphasizing on peace & forgetting ‘electoral justice’ which everyone is yearning for.

P it up.
May Allah bless you for us and they heard it’s from you ma’am
This rebel leader (Maada Bio) and his rebel boys are doing everything possible to destroy our hard won democracy in this country.
Maada Bio started his rebel plans in 1996 after he overthrew his Boss (Strasser). According to him, Strasser was not ready to conduct the Elections.
Later, Maada Bio was suspected to have the intention of postponing the conduct of the elections. Maada Bio’s campaign to postpone the elections was. “‘Peace before elections”
The people of Sierra Leone knew and understood his plans and insisted on having. “Elections before peace”
Maada Bio was disappointed and so ordered his rebel boys to shoot and kill people who went out to vote. Some of Bio”s rebel boys amputated the limbs of many Sierra Leoneans that day.
Maada Bio has no good intentions for Sierra Leone. Now his rebel plans are to lead Sierra Leoneans people to more sufferings and killings.
Imagine, if Sierra Leone is placed under embargo, which is the intention of this PAOPA rebel leader and his supporters. Maada Bio is playing down on the idea of slamming an economic embargo on Sierra Leone. Some of Bio”s stupid supporters are blind and cannot imagine the sufferings the people of Sierra Leone will have to undergo through.
Maada Bio for his own selfish ends, he is prepared to let the people of Sierra Leone suffer otherwise he should not have stolen the people’s constitutional and democratic rights.
Maada Bio think twice. !!
