The fight against information disorder in Sierra Leone just got stronger!
Congrats to the 3 Sierra Leonean fellows joining the 2026 Kwame Karikari cohort 🎉
Forbes has ranked the Sierra Leone Olympic uniform designed by Labrum among its “10 Of The Most Stylish Uniforms From The Paris Games”.
It is ranked fifth above France, Great Britain, The Netherlands, and Australia.
Only the USA, China, Mongolia, Canada, and Haiti are ranked above Sierra Leone.
The kit was designed and produced by Adidas in collaboration with the London-based fashion label Labrum, which is owned by a Sierra Leonean named Foday Dumbuya.
The collection features elements that pay homage to Sierra Leone’s cultural heritage, including windbreakers adorned with a distinctive white and blue print inspired by cowrie shells.

@SLAJ_Salone I-verify's public corrections exemplify journalistic integrity. However, contextual awareness is crucial in this domain. Fact-checking thrives on trust; persistent errors jeopardize credibility and audience trust.

@Fornahib@LamranaAmadu@MCCgov Do you really think a country like Rwanda has better records on political rights than Salone? How many times have u heard about any popular opposition there? They may be getting everything right but not democracy. Talk to people there who are a little opposed to the dictatorship.
@leandigitalvsr@Thunderbird@ASU@USEmbFreetown Appreciate the recommendation.
