The United States Embassy in Freetown has issued a statement in support of the ongoing peace dialogue in Sierra Leone. As the second day of negotiations between the government of Sierra Leone and the main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) unfolds, the United States is calling upon all Sierra Leoneans to back their political leaders’ efforts to achieve progress.
The United States emphasized the importance of compromise in building robust democratic institutions for the people of Sierra Leone, deeming it a hallmark of strong leadership. The nation stands firmly behind those who are working towards a brighter future for the country.
“As Day 2 of the mediated dialogue dawns, the United States urges all Sierra Leoneans to support their political leaders’ efforts to achieve progress. Compromise that builds vibrant democratic institutions for the Salone people is the definition of strong leadership. The United States stands with those seeking to move the country forward”
The dialogue, mediated by a team of representatives from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the African Union (AU), commenced last Friday in Freetown. The talks aim to address the long-standing post-election crisis involving President Bio’s ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP), the National Electoral Commission, and the APC.
The two-day dialogue is scheduled to conclude on Wednesday, October 18th, and is facilitated by the Commonwealth Secretariat, in collaboration with Sierra Leone’s Independent Commission for Peace and National Cohesion.
It is anticipated that these post-election discussions will serve as a crucial step towards resolving the ongoing political impasse that has gripped the nation since the controversial announcement of the June 24 election results by the National Electoral Commission.
The international community, through the involvement of ECOWAS, the AU, and the United States, continues to support efforts to bring stability and reconciliation to Sierra Leone.
Really this election was really stolen from the winner….but please Mohammed konneh do release the election disagregrated result
This issue are all created by this fools call him self chief electoral commission, Mohamed konneh,if the opposition cry for foul by the election results.release the disagreed results
Let there be re _run election for a better sierra Leone
Since the I listen to the British reporter , I automatically stop blaming Konneh, so for the sake of democracy we the masses need hrun off
Re-run for batter salone
The problem here is why is conneh refusing to produce the result. If the result is credible why the refusal?
Those days are gone, to play with the minds of Sierra Leoneans simply because we are no longer in the dark days. Remember if even Bio rules now to 2028 he himself knows he will hand the power over, and the same continues with another political party now you that is in support of what bio doing what will be your outcome?
I don’t know why leaders lack integrity in certain operations and they want to be trusted by their followers oooh no. Stand for the truth, and be recommended by people and not by your very self.
Konneh is not a man of himself. He has completely disgraced himself and his family. Konneh forgot to understand that he was given a National Responsibility.
Konneh decided to surrender himself to the dictates of Maada Bio. He forgets to understand that Maada Bio has already started betraying him. Maada Bio told the International community people that he has no control over Konneh and the ECSL. That he was pronounced winner of the elections by the Electoral Commissioner. This would have been the best time for Konneh to publish the correct data according to polling stations and polling centers with the RRF forms to show that he was indeed automomous.
Konneh’s failure to THINK properly and to FREE himself from blame has landed him to the point of disrepute, dishonour and disrespect for himself and his entire family members.
Mohamed Konneh must be held responsible and thus accountable for the current sufferings of the people of Sierra Leone. Mohamed Konneh has committed Treason to the people of Sierra Leone and should be arrested and tired in a court of justice. Mohamed Konneh is prepared to bring back WAR in Sierra Leone. Mohamed Konneh does not only offend the people of Sierra Leone but he has also offended the International world and his his Creator. Almighty Allah/God please take action against Mohamed Konneh and his entire family. “….May your will be done on Mohamed Konneh. Amen! Amen!!
Please let us not go back war and we don’t need war in Sierra Leone because we that witness war, will not allow war in Sierra Leone. But if so the APC wants to bring back, we will welcome it with difference and we will not go back to bushes again. President Maada Bio won the June 24 election by vote of the people of Sierra Leone. APC can never win any elections without Southeast people. ApC preached tribalism regionalism and now asking for the government to release all those in questions of the August 10-11 and those thugs like Alpha Sheriff, Yeteyeteh etc in the just concluded Peace dialogue. So ApC is all behind the unrestful of peace since 2018 to date…..
Stay bless…..
