Sierra Leone has successfully been elected as member of the United Nations Security Council for 2024-2025 after 53 years of absence.
Sierra Leone was a member of the UN Security Council under the then Prime Minister cum President, Siaka Stevens in the early 1970s.
Reacting to the news, President Julius Maada Bio expressed his delight over the news.
“It is with profound honour and deep sense of fulfilment to convey the news that Sierra Leone, for the first time in 52 years and for only the second time in our nation’s history, has been elected as Non-Permanent Member of the United Nations Security Council for the term 2024-2025,” Bio said.
The President added that Sierra Leone’s membership is as a result of his government’s commitment to transform the country’s international reputation.
“Our presence on the UNSC represents our unique success as a democratic and peaceful country of resilience and unbounded optimism,” he said.
He reminisced on Sierra Leone’s dark past with war in 90s and the transition to peace and how that has helped the West African nation.
Bio appreciated leaders in the African region for their “unwavering and unconditional demonstration of solidarity” while tagging his country’s success to that of the region.
Sierra Leone was elected alongside Algeria, Guyana, Republic of Korea and Slovenia for two-year term which will begin on 1 January 2024.
Waoooooo. Waoooooooooo.
This is what we call development and good leader to market and place the country image to the International lime light. Now I I know why people say APC is not good for Mama Sierra Leone. Because whenever they are in power they bring nothing good for Sierra Leone. Instead they will brake down the country and the country economy to the floor. But again, I can say is because they are not educated and not value education that is why. I can haltingly say President Obama Bio is the best Leader for Sierra Leone since democracy started in Sierra Leone. ANYTIME SLPP COME TO POWER THEY ALWAYS REBRAND THE IMAGE OF THE COUNTRY TAKE A LOOK AT PA KABBA THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE FUNDS HE LEFT BEFORE HE HAND OVER POWER. BUT WHEN EARNEST BAI KOROMA CAME HE DRAINED THE COUNTRY ECONOMY AND LEFT THE COUNTRY TO AUSTERITY. Because we know that President Obama Bio is the best for Sierra Leone, they said he must go.
CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA BIO FOR PUTTING SIERRA LEONE TO THE HIGHER LEVEL AND IN THE SEAT OF UN SECURITY COUNCIL.
We love you and we will always love you to rule us as the President of Sierra Leone.
Congratulations mana Salone and thank you Mr. President.
How will membership of The UN Security Council benefit Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone’s problems are domestic, not external.
