Amid escalating hate messages on social media and the fallout from a failed coup attempt on November 26, 2023, a coalition of former members from the Civil Defence Forces (Kamajors) in the Southeast region has taken a bold step to counter potential unrest and safeguard the nation’s stability.
On December 20, 2023, they announced their reorganization, citing a firm stance against coup plotters and Abdul W. Kamara, alias Adebayo, currently residing in Holland, who they hold accountable for disseminating hate messages.
The impetus for this reorganization stems from the urgent need to curb the alarming surge in hate messages, particularly those propagated by Adebayo across various social media platforms in Sierra Leone. These vitriolic messages have not only led to loss of life but have also sown seeds of division, posing a dire threat to national unity and security.
The recent failed coup, resulting in the tragic loss of serving security personnel, acted as a catalyst for the former Civil Defence Forces members to rally together. Recognizing the pressing need to protect the nation’s stability, they have chosen to intervene proactively.
Their collective aim revolves around actively monitoring and countering potential unrest instigated by coup plotters or those inciting division. Their primary objective is to ensure the safety and welfare of Sierra Leoneans and preserve the hard-earned peace the country has enjoyed in recent years.
Importantly, the reorganized group emphasizes that their efforts are not a call for vigilante justice. Instead, they intend to collaborate closely with relevant authorities, including the Office of National Security, the Sierra Leone Police, and the Armed Forces, to aid in identifying and apprehending those responsible for disseminating hate messages and orchestrating destabilizing activities.
A senior government official highlighted the government’s commitment to addressing underlying issues. Measures are underway to bolster security, closely monitor social media for hate speech, and strengthen collaboration between security agencies and community groups.
The government urges the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities promptly. Unity against any attempts to disrupt the nation’s peace and stability is deemed crucial for Sierra Leone to continue its trajectory of progress.
Isn’t this very dangerous? And what are they defining as hate messages? You criticize Bio and his illegitimate government and that will be seen as hate speech. Kamajors from the Southeast region. This seems to be one massive tribal exercise. Is Bio setting up for 2028?
The APCs have woken the tiger by its tail. They were warned long before, but they double down on their hatredness. They should have known that going after this president, his family, his government, his tribe, etc, they are the ones calling out for civil war. Now the country is on knife’s edge. APCians, be careful what you wish for because it has come to your door step.
They are defend there tribe which is Mendes
Only those who were refugee, that fled to other countries, don’t know the strength of the Civil defense forces.
Had it been the soldiers ( sobel) and RUF. The RUF take over would have been permanent. As all the soldiers surrendered to the RUF. As they were they ones calling the shots.
The kamajor defied them. And advance to the city thru ECOMOG. That’s the peace we are enjoying today.
No is not very dangerous is a clarion call for any body who think he or she can disrupt the peace of Mama Sa lone. A word for the wise is quite sufficient. Lonta
That’s fantastic 😀
A Sanusie, Why are you so gullible and mentally myopic in your analysis?
When your Street King alias Adaebayor tells his tribal people to attach any Mende person with “witch gun” , how do you call that?
People like you need re-schooling and mental reprogramming for SL to succeed as a nation.
Tribal war looming and that war they (south easterners) cannot win, let’s be going!!!
I know for sure one day my beloved country mama salone will raise again by the grace of the almighty Allah 🙏 all I know is that there is no place sierra leonean will call home expect the blessed land that we love so much,
May the almighty Allah bless sierra leone 🇸🇱 and bless us all.
So help me God, so help us God 🙏
This is not about Bio, have not ever heard Adebayor saying they’re going to kill whoever says ” buwa besieh”?
First and foremost I want the whole world to know that SierraLoaded and AYV are syndicates that are operating for SLPP. Why the Civil Defence don’t be independent by amalgamating all regional traditional societies across the country to conduct their fragile, fruitless, senseless and lie socall rally. instead they decide to choose only one tribe ( Mende) Kamajors?
But what we as Northwesternerns want the whole world to know today is that, we are recording all this things that this government if Southeast of Sierra Leone is doing to the country, nothing on this earth apart from ( God) can prevent the North- Westernans from revenging in that country. more killing will happen than ever in Sierra Leone when that time ir day will come and it will be a non-stop until we flosh out all bad mende people that have lead us to this genocide. so we are telling the international community that all what they mentioned in this statement are complete lies. The world today knows that ADEBAYOR is the only freedom fighter fir Sierra Leone and 99% of we the people of Sierra Leone stand with him. if not fir Adebayor, Sierra Leone should have been more retrogress than the way it is today. A TRIBAL WAR IS AT THE CORNER VERY SOON if Maada Bio and the Southeasternans don’t stop their nonsense. Let’s watch within this Two months of 2024.
Why the head of civil defense don’t call all other tribes to come and do the rally? instead he just choose the Southeastern an ( Mende Kamajohs). that is a sign of Tribalism and regionalism you are fooling yourselves but not the international world
Are the kamajors now our only hope to defend salone ? So the military and the police are no capable to defend and protect our territories . So you want to take us back where this same government disbanded the army and legitimised the kamajors . Hey ! Why can’t we learn as Sierra Leonians
If you du have that kamajor video can some of you guys go and listen and watch the video again Attentively Because that old man ON that video did not mention national security he specifically mentioned that who so ever wont to come and distroy the mende tribe let the person come and that the kamajors will be waiting
Those majors are fake people
