The Government of Sierra Leone, through the Ministry of Information and Civic Education, has issued a strong condemnation of recent incidents involving alleged intimidation, harassment, and unwarranted arrests of members of the Fula community by certain elements within the security forces.
In a press release, the government expressed deep concern over the troubling acts that have occurred over the past 48 hours, emphasizing that such actions do not reflect the values, policies, or directives of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio or his administration.
Reaffirming its commitment to tolerance, inclusion, and the protection of citizens’ rights, the government highlighted the significant role of the Fula people in Sierra Leone’s socio-economic progress.
The statement described them as “valued and integral members” of the Sierra Leonean society whose contributions are invaluable to national development.
To address the situation, the government has launched a thorough and impartial investigation to ascertain the facts surrounding the reported incidents.
Authorities have assured that any individuals found culpable of unjust or illegal actions will be held fully accountable in accordance with the law.
“The Government of Sierra Leone remains dedicated to fostering unity and safeguarding the dignity and security of every individual, regardless of ethnicity or background,” the statement emphasized.
The Ministry of Information and Civic Education encouraged citizens to remain calm and assured the public of the government’s unwavering resolve to ensure that the rights of all Sierra Leoneans are upheld and protected.
The press release serves as a clear message that discriminatory or unlawful actions against any community will not be tolerated under the current administration.
For further information, the Ministry of Information and Civic Education remains available for inquiries.
Thank you Mr President 🙏
Sierra Leoneans need to grow a spin. You are kicked out of a neighboring country guinea. You can’t do the same to them? What a shame. Some of us in the diaspora when we decide to return I will advocate for a job at immigration department in Sierra Leone and tighten our immigration laws. Starting with 🪪 ID card. If you are found to be illegal in Sierra Leone I will send you back to your country. West Africa has a 90 days stay, the Gambia is observing that. After 90 days you pay for residence permit. If not you are arrested and will be deported. Why Sierra Leone Can’t do that? We are too weak .
If sierra leone want to dopote let us dopote those who deserves to be be devoted,not innocent peaceful citizens who has equal birthright like any other tribe in the country, aiming at the fullah people alone is not right.
Thank you papa Government for the swift action in addressing this issue. Some people for them this could have been an opportunity to demonstrate their hatred for the Fullah tribe.
Citizens no longer have right in Sierra, this is the country where foreigner have power over the citizens. God help us.
What makes someone a citizen in a country?
If I migrate to France 🇫🇷 and start speaking French does that mean that I am a citizen in France? All the ethnic groups in sierra leone migrated from different places,but your birthright is what makes you a citizen in sierra leone 🇸🇱 so please let respect each other’s rights.
Did fullah people issue any statement regarding the way Sierra Leonean were deported from Guinea?
Not the fullah people deport sierra Leonenen in Guinea but now the blame is on fullahs what a hatred may Allah fight our Battle
No bro, because fula people weren’t the ones that deported the Sierraleonians from guinea
and to help see things more clearly, 90% of the Guinea government are tribes other than fulanis, so fula people are not the only guineains.
It’s just sad that the government of Sierra leone sees fula people as the only guineaians that deported them
The president of guinea is not a fullah and he claims that the sierra leonian are involved in drugs activities and prostitution,my brother is in guinea right now he is a fullah by tribe and a sierra leonian by nationally,his language doe not makes him a citizen in guinea as fullah because he was born in sierra leone and he has his national ID card with him so he is facing the same problem even do he never involved in any crime in guinea.
Now tell me what should the fullah people do about it.
Let the police be investigated thoroughly. This is a complete sabotage to discredit the SLPP government for their own selfish motive. Infact heads should have rolled by now sir. Pls your Excellency don’t take it lightly as they want to bring a disrepute between you and your vice. We are waiting sir. I rest my case.
Those who have always making efforts to distablise this nation and render the government unfit to rule this country is the continuous efforts still unabated. Ya Allah eliminate them from us and send them to hell
I totally disappointed by the sierra leone police.
