The Prime Minister of Grenada H.E Mitchell invited me to present at their cabinet retreat. The South-South knowledge exchange between our two countries based on transformative policies and service delivery is why I believe that together, #WeWillDeliver for our peoples!

I am honoured to have my work featured in a BBC documentary and would like to thank @OnOurRadar and the @BBCAfrica News for this recognition!

Subsequent to the filming of this documentary, the Agreement for National Unity was signed, under the terms of which I assumed office on 30th October 2023 along with other elected officials of the All People’s Congress Party. As the re-elected Mayor of Freetown, I am working with the central government, our development partners and all Freetonians as we continue the journey to #TransformFrreetown.

Changing jobs and countries this week. Excited to be back at @InstituteGC and moving to Grenada 🇬🇩 where I’ll be the Country Director. Tweets from the Caribbean to follow, but most likely about cricket…

What I know so far about the situation unfolding in Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown this morning.

Hello Friends,

News from Sierra Leone this morning as reported by the President Bio is that a group of unidentified individuals tried to break into Wilberforce weapons store. He says the military was able to “rebuff” the attack on the armory.

However journalists Amadu Lamrana Bah and Umaru Fofanah both confirm in Facebook posts that there’s more to the story.

According to Lamrana:
A military source told him an “unknown group of military officers” had “taken arms away” from the armory.

He said shots fired at Wilberforce, Cockeriel and Murray Town barracks.

Umaru Fofana says he went out to check and got to Congo Cross:

“We just came face-to-face with soldiers who said to us “we will clean this society. We know what we’re up to. We are not after any ordinary civilians who should go about their normal business.

Armed police who were parked on the street with their vehicle freshly hit by bullet, initially advised us not to proceed. Seconds later they were lured into going back to the roundabout where I saw their vehicle being taken over by soldiers with RPG mounted on their shoulders.”

A nationwide curfew has been declared with immediate effect across Sierra Leone.

Citizen journalists confirm hearing gunshots.

US Embassy Freetown condemned the attempted “forceful seizure” of the Wilberforce armory in a tweet.

Bit late to this news, but congrats to @DooleyKate, @anna_riggall, Tony McAleavy and all on what looks a very sane join-up: https://t.co/msEvpZQRVJ; #globaldev sector could use more of this kind of sane M&A (as distinct from the 'buy-the-quals-lose-the-ic' type of the 2000s).

Well said @gamblingondev! Great thread for everyone in the international development community looking ahead to what Andrew Mitchell's appointment could mean and how to restore a focus on systems and outcomes for the poorest through focused and protected UK aid

[Stefan Dercon @gamblingondev]

Congratulations to Andrew Mitchell MP for being back where his passion is: leading development policy for the UK.

A brief thread. 1/n

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Boris Johnson is a liar

He misled parliament

He oversaw corruption

His policy led to tens of thousands of excess Covid deaths

He was convicted of a crime in office

He signed a Brexit deal he hadn’t read

The Tories want him back.

We must all just say no. This can’t happen
