The Resident Coordinator for the United Nations in Sierra Leone, Babatunde Ahonsi, has applauded the government of Sierra Leone for its efforts towards peace and prosperity.

In a statement on October 26, 2023, Ahonsi said that the country has shown remarkable resilience in sustaining peace and national cohesion. He also praised the government’s efforts to collaborate with different sectors to push forward the peacebuilding effort.

“Sierra Leone has shown remarkable resilience in its journey towards peace and prosperity, overcoming significant obstacles and demonstrating unwavering determination to build a brighter future for all its people,” Ahonsi said.

Ahonsi’s praise for Sierra Leone comes at a time when the country is facing a number of challenges, including a cost of living crisis and a food security crisis. However, Ahonsi said that he is confident that Sierra Leone will overcome these challenges and achieve its goals of peace and prosperity.

“I am confident that Sierra Leone will continue to make progress towards peace and prosperity, and that the United Nations will remain a steadfast partner on this journey,” he said.

Sierra Leone has made significant progress in recent years in terms of peace and prosperity. The country has emerged from a civil war that lasted for over a decade, and it has held peaceful and democratic elections in recent years.

The government has also made progress in terms of economic development. The economy has grown steadily in recent years, and the poverty rate has declined. However, the country still faces a number of challenges, including poverty, inequality, and corruption.

The government’s efforts to build peace and prosperity are important for the country’s future. If the government is successful in its efforts, Sierra Leone will be well on its way to becoming a peaceful and prosperous country for all its citizens.
