Sierra Leone was ravaged from to by civil war. The war lasted until , by which time over 50, people had died and over two million had been displaced. But, even in the face of these 10 facts about poverty in Sierra Leone, peace has been fostered within the nation. Since the enactment of a U. Peacekeeping intervention on January 18, , Sierra Leone remains firmly on the path toward further consolidation of peace, democracy and long-term sustainable development.
Sierra Leone remains heavily dependent on foreign aid. Although positive economic growth has steadily occurred over the past decade since the end of the civil war, Sierra Leone continues to rely on foreign aid.
About 50 percent of public investment programs are financed by external resources. Recovery and development are being threatened by climate change. Resources such as water, soil and forests are being threatened by the ever-growing population, increasing energy consumption, mining activities, the pollution of rivers and massive deforestation related to agricultural practices.
A largely unchanged economic structure with low levels of productivity and major reliance on agriculture hold back further economic recovery. Can any of the current companies operating in the country now even boast of employing more than or, even near a thousand workforce?
The nearest we came to that was when African Minerals and London Mining were operating. Even at that, the majority were employed in the railway track-laying phase. They laid them off after the manual labour phase was completed. The end of the war brought our country into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
This attention brought us millions of dollars in aid, loans, NGOs etc. With the local refining of crude oil, fuel was relatively cheap. That has gone, but even with world market price falling today, the cost of refined petrol is Le 9, So, who pays the difference?
Government subsidies. That may be just one example. Even though this could be cautiously harvested, there is a price for posterity to pay. The less said about our aviation industry the better. Ebola did hit the nerve centre of our economy, which coincided with the collapse of iron ore prices, and now Covid seems to have put the final nail in the coffin.
Is it any wonder that the end of the war saw the largest migration in recent memory from our rural to urban areas? We continue to get our priorities wrong and open academic institutions daily, when we lack the outlets to accommodate these accomplished skills. What is the point of more universities when we cannot even employ those that have qualified donkeys years ago? Our Private Public Partnerships are almost non-existent, leaving the government as the largest, if not relatively the only viable employer.
With many people chasing fewer jobs, tagged with the inherent cancer of and pressure from nepotism, tribalism, corruption etc. Is it against such a backdrop that the Rtd Brigadier Maada Bio brigade keep shouting that he has performed well in the two and half years he has been in power? They say that the government recruited and appointed 3, civil servants at both junior and senior school levels, recruited females in the army to promote gender equality.
The Bio supporters also talk about the commissioning of 48 hospitals across the country, the approval of schools, supplied ambulances across the country, and commissioned the construction of two universities in Bonthe and Kono districts. The Bio brigade makes a case that these policies will return our country to its foundation for sustainable development. The green corner is hopeful that corruption has been cauterised.
How long do we have to wait? So, what happens in the meantime? Take your pick. Do not forget to turn the lights off when you leave the room. Our people would not have been complaining today if the OAU had succeeded in its mandate to successfully implement its progressive ideas, that would have brought economic stability and political integration to our failing continent.
I thank you for your attention Sir. Mr Tunkara, I try very hard to resist the temptation to respond to my articles here. That is the idea; to generate meaningful conversations among us. It was not considered prudent or otherwise. Do you know how many African leaders dodged their turn to host it, simply because they could not afford it? Are we surprised that until his death, it was Ghadaffi that took responsibility to finance most AU meetings of late?
Even that was done to cement his sphere of influence in the region. MrTunkara, it is only now that African leaders have realised the negative financial impact of hosting such meetings in their individual countries; that it is not financially viable.
It was just an extension of the megalomania of our leaders. Which country last hosted the UN General Assembly? It has always been at its headquarters in the USA. Spot the difference?
Hope this helps to clarify my view. In all fairness, it has now made it easier for some of us to reconcile, how that past is influencing our present everyday lives. Given the reaction to the historical facts, I am left wondering, that maybe not enough of our history has been taught in our schools and colleges in present day Sierra Leone.

The end of the second world war in , events leading for the demand for independence and events from the time of Independence in to Unfortunately, the way the generation which makes up a large percentage of the population that experienced the RUF war years for eleven years, have a different take on how Sierra Leone was like, compared to us the older generation.
That is why this piece is so welcome and important, because if you do not know your past, you will never know how the future is influenced by it. History is well told, when facts are differentiated from fiction.
Sometimes when somebody speaks about issues of national interest, I feel good within myself. Perhaps the early days of Independence were the neophyte stage of technology. So, a good number of Sierra Leoneans were unaware of development.
This was the period of its own. Think of it, the age limit for retirement is 60 years. Can we still say we do not have people or systems of such, operating in some workplaces? Sierra Leone is rich with natural resources. The question I will ask is it truly ours? We are only the gatekeepers.
