Interesting times ahead in Sierra Leone. The EU withholding €18 million would result in enormous hardship for the ordinary Sierra Leonean

BREAKING NEWS: The Defacto Government in Sierra Leone Under Scrutiny

We have just learned that the EU has formally taken the decision to sanction the illegitimate narco-regime in Freetown.

​A responsible government would call an immediate press conference to deny these very serious allegations and invite international law enforcement agencies to investigate Sierra Leone. @VP_Jalloh @julius_maadabio @UN_Spokesperson @EUinSierraLeone @EU_Commission @USEmbFreetown

“The European Union has immediately frozen €18 million in budget support to Sierra Leone” — over allegations that the country “has refused to cooperate” in the extradition of an “international fugitive.” The EU is also “considering blocking” an additional €20.5 million slated for 2027.

Why not first fix the dysfunctional education system in the country? International engagements have value, but priorities matter. When our education system still faces serious challenges, shouldn’t fixing those problems at home come first? Mr President wake up

LAMENTATION OF A FRUSTRATED YOUTH

A former accessory to political violence, now feeling abandoned by the very ruling party he says he served.

The attached video is a viral clip of a ruling-party member who, by his own admission, was once used to intimidate and perpetrate violence against opposition supporters and other citizens who did not support the government.

Today, he sounds like a deeply frustrated man. A man who feels used, betrayed and abandoned by the very people in whose name he says he intimidated and attacked fellow citizens.

But now the political cycle is approaching another election, and fear appears to be creeping into his voice. He knows what he participated in. He knows the enemies he may have made. And he is now worried about possible reprisals.

In the video, he particularly calls out the current SLPP Chairman, accusing the party leadership of neglecting and abandoning him after allegedly using him when he was useful.

I cannot say I am surprised. In Sierra Leone, as in many parts of Africa, political violence has too often been followed by silence, impunity and abandonment. Allegations surrounding attacks and killings of opposition supporters have repeatedly demanded credible investigation and accountability, yet many victims and their families continue to wait for answers.

This is the tragic cycle we must break.

To the African youth: do not allow any politician to turn your anger, poverty or frustration into a weapon against your fellow citizens.

The politician will sit safely behind the walls of power. You may be the one standing in the street, carrying the consequences.

Today, you may be called a “loyal youth.” Tomorrow, you may become disposable.

Never allow yourself to become somebody else’s political weapon.

The more I listened to government officials in Sierra Leone speak the more I get upset . The current composition of government people are a bunch of clowns that do not have the people’s interest at heart .

[Umarubella Jalloh @UmarubellaJall1]

@jueh10_06 @Ladyfatimabio I strongly disagree with this .

The U.S. immigration courts are issuing record numbers of in absentia removal orders. Due process is not optional—it is a legal requirement. Courts are obligated to follow the law and ensure that every person receives the notice and opportunity to be heard that the law guarantee.

Every time citizens want to express their dissatisfaction with the state of affairs, the police deny permits to protest. This shows they are not serving your interests but those of the rogue elites. Sierra Leoneans, wake up before it's too late. 🇸🇱

Sierra Leone faces a multifaceted issue, with drug peddling being just one component. However, money laundering within the banking system has become a more substantial concern in Sierra Leone than kush or any other narcotics.

[Umarubella Jalloh @UmarubellaJall1]

Sierra Leone has emerged as a key transit point for narcotics in West Africa and is increasingly associated with money laundering and terrorism financing activities.

Colonel Mamady Doumbouya’s continued push to consolidate power in Guinea could intensify political turmoil and drive the nation deeper into crisis.

Julius Maada Bio free education
Ministry of education approved amounts for school items for entry into JSS 1
Boys: NLE 450( to be paid by parents )
Girl: NLE 425
Government payments as subsidy for pupils in JSS1 is NLE 50,000 per term
Free education not making sense to me

For the second day, Teachers in Sierra Leone are on strike for over nine demands including unpaid School Fees Subsidies.

As the teachers are making these demands, record shows that the Government of @julius_maadabio spent over NLe200M correspondingly 200B old Leones on overseas travel in 2024 alone.

The teachers are demanding for about 60 Billion Old Leones of backlog subsidies which they are using to run the schools but negotiations with the Vice President @VP_Jalloh have ended in stalemate.

Whether it is Free Quality Education or Feed Salone, the goal remains the same - a smokescreen for looting state resources. At this rate, the emperor has no clothes, and the deception can no longer be hidden. 🇸🇱

This is unlike President Julius Maada Bio and his SLPP government. Ghana mean business .

The Sierra Leone government has failed to provide a single quarterly allocation to the Freetown city council. We are now in the third quarter. How can the council execute its activities without its quarterly allocations?
