Samura Kamara Responds to Commonwealth Secretary-General’s Call for Peace in Sierra Leone

Samura Kamara, the Leader of Sierra Leone’s main opposition political party, the All Peoples Congress (APC), has issued a response to a recent message from Rt Hon. Patricia Scotland KC, the Secretary General of the Commonwealth.

In her statement released on Wednesday, Rt Hon. Patricia Scotland KC urged political leaders in Sierra Leone to uphold their commitment to peace and unity, a pledge they made back in May.

This message arrives at a crucial time, as Sierra Leone grapples with political turmoil stemming from the APC’s boycott of governance following a dispute over the 2023 presidential election results. Additionally, reports have emerged of a thwarted coup attempt in the nation.

In a thoughtful and conciliatory reaction, Kamara expressed gratitude for the Commonwealth Secretary-General’s statement and conveyed the APC’s readiness to engage in a mediated dialogue promptly, with the betterment of Sierra Leone as the ultimate goal.

Kamara’s statement conveyed, “We acknowledge and appreciate the recent statement by the Commonwealth Secretary-General, Rt Hon. Patricia Scotland KC, and embrace the opportunity to participate in mediated discussions without delay, all for the betterment of Sierra Leone’s people. We remain thankful for the Commonwealth SG’s unwavering support in the restoration of our democratic values, pursuit of social justice, and the unification of our nation.”

Dr. Samura Kamara enough of these diplomatic statements from you sir. Tell these hypocrite elements who called themselves commonwealth or what ever that we Sierra leonians have lost confidence in them and what ever respect or integrity we have for them is gone. It's now we know that they are not powerful but toothless bull dogs. Look how weak Madda Bio is but they cannot handle him. But you can hear them talking about human rights and freedom which of course it's their hypocrisy that have led to the suffering of millions of people in Sierra leone. Now they are behaving as if they don't know the true perpetrators. But we are warning you all international partners if you people don't take action against Maada Bio now, soon and very soon their will be an uprising in Sierra leone. And at that time the masses who are in majority and are suffering under this wicked politicians will never listen to you people and dialogs may be very difficult.

You can not beat your child and stop him/her not to cry. That is injustice to the core.

Peace is all that the APC as a party and leaders want. We need vote counting verification of June 2023 elections

There is no peace without justice. As you give justice peace will come naturally. You don't need to go looking for peace

Francis Abdulai, I am totally disappointed in you, by saying that you don't want peace because not the people of Sierra Leone. How can look for justice over elections that the opposition party never won. Even if that be the case, does it mean that you should wage war on Sierra Leone for that just because of political power? Why don't you guys think about the poor Sierra Leonean who have no opportunity to fly out of the country if situation becomes worst? You really lack positive thinking ability. @MS Kuyateh from THINK SALONE.

Samurai Kamara and his selfish APC party do not mean good for this nation. All they want is for their selfish interest and not for the people of this country. By the grace of God Almighty, your plans will be exposed and you will not succed in doing it . What the hell are you people that can't accept election results that reflect the choice of the people? President Bio is the President of this country until 2028 and he dare not give power to APC . You will die in opposition , foolish human beings .

Francis you seems to be suffering from kush and nothing more
Francis Abdulai Joe Koroma | 2023-08-13 10:29:45

Dr.Samura M.Wilson Kamara you made a very big mistake for not telling them that they are the ones that doesn't want peace in our country; because they saw all that happens, and they know that killer Bio is not the legitimate president, why not taking actions against him first before talking about the peace please that was signed between the political parties? Rubbish people, they are happy to see killer Bio killing our people, yet they're silence, but they have the energy to talk about peace; let crown it all! We don't want peace;we need justice okay or the nasty commonwealth should fuck off because they are useless to our nation, they're just busy manipulating in putting a leader that is not the right choice of the citizens in the name of their own selfish gains but posterity will judge you one, an unexpected war shall breakup in your country from nowhere and destroy the peace you had been enjoying your decades, since you don't want us to live in peace, freedom and justice, I promise you that one fine good day they almighty God above will surely destroy you and your generations yet unborn "Amen"
