It has just been reported to me that valentine Strasser was asked by BIO and NYUMA to join them in an assasination attempt on the life of Ernest Bai Koroma. He refused and has been the subject of death threats since this morning. My sources tell me that Valentine Strasser is trying to get out of the country because of threats on his life by his former SLPP/NPRC coupligans.
Stand by for more information.

Why would they want to include Strasser in any plan?
What danger does he pose to be threatened?
He's nothing but an ordinary rarray boy in the street.

Burundi's peace process in trouble
A ceasefire agreement between the government and the last active rebel group, the Palipehutu FNL, looks uncertain.
Four of the fifteen members of the rebel delegation are reported to have evaded their South African security detail and rejoined their comrades in the bush.
They had been participating in a committee which was discussing the implementation of a ceasefire signed more than nine months ago.

This Ruthless, heartless and power thirst Nyuma's and surrogates Juntas must be arrested and brought to justice. Because of their power loving and self motivated greed orchestrated by the SLPP party, they Vowed to claim the throne of leadership of of the state of Sierra LeoneState and its people. Enough is enough...the brutal suffering our people endured in the hands of the Junta (NPRC) and the Heartless SLPP is no-longer welcome. Our people, the people of Sierra Leone do not deserve another blood bath from these sickos.

NYUMA ARRESTED AND HOSPITALIZED IN BO
We now have confirmed reports from independent sources in Bo that former NPRC strongman and born-again SLPP enforcer, Thomas Nyuma, was beaten and seriously wounded and is presently admitted to Dr. Yilla' s hospital in Bo Latest information from PMDC sources is that Nyuma sustained a fractured skull and cannot be transferred to Freetown on advice of physician. Nyuma is also under police custody for unlawful possession of firearms and trespassing on a hotel occupied by APC presidential aspirant, Ernest Bai Koroma. Bai Koroma and his APC entourage are presently campaigning in the Southern capital in an effort to gain some grounds in the previously out-of-bounds SLPP stronghold in the South-Eastern Region.
Last weekend, Nyuma and his former boss, Julius Marda Bio along with Sierra Leones ambassador to Liberia, Patrick Foyah, were cited in Kailahun where the leader of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Charles Francis Margai, and his campaign team were canvassing in the Eastern Region. In that incident, Foyah is reported to have fired a gun at Margai. Police arrived and intervened in time before PMDC supporters sent Ambassador Foyah on his final diplomatic mission to the Court of St. Peter. The SLPP regional office building in Kailahun is said to be non-existent after last weekend's engagement between SLPP and PMDC supporters. President Tejan Kabbah is said to have wept after viewing the carnage in the township AT the birthplace of Sierra Leone's eleven-year civil war.
In the characteristically no-nonsense town of Bo, Nyuma and his team were much less fortunate. But for the intervention of the APC leader, Nyuma would have joined his ancestors from the hands of the APC security forces. Nyuma is reported to have entered the hotel with an automatic pistol. The opposition has recently made known to the UN that the ruling SLPP has made available weapons to its supporters such as Nyuma and Ambassador Foyah who were using them for political intimidation.
Our leaders in Sierra Leone are well advised that the 2007 general and presidential elections slated for August 11 must be won by the ballot and not by the bullet. The introduction of firearms, if true, is a serious drawback to the efforts by the international community to rid the country of arms and ammunition. Nyuma and his bosses must also keep in mind that the people of Sierra Leone are not to be intimidated by thugs and hooligans. Those who fail to realize the present resolve of our people have only themselves to blame. Hopefully, Col. Nyuma will have enough time in hospital to dwell on this current reality in the country. After being recently deported from the US apparently for domestic violence but more correctly for his participation in unlawful killings during the early days of the NPRC, Nyuma should have learned his lessons.
If not, he will learn it the hard way – in the hospital, in prison or in the grave.

Sierra Leone: PCMH Without Light for Two Weeks
Concord Times (Freetown)
23 July 2007
Posted to the web 23 July 2007
Ben Samuel Turay
Freetown
One of the largest hospitals in the country has been without power for more than two weeks, leaving patients to die and suffer, even as political parties say health is an important election issue.
Doctors at Princess Christian Maternity Hospital (PCMH) say there has not been enough fuel for hospital generators and patients have not been able to get proper treatment.
On one day last week, there were three corpses in PCMH passageways.
"The problem is the fault of the bosses," said Joseph Bomo Komeh, a medical doctor at PCMH. "Patients have been getting malaria because there is no power. It is too dark and the bosses cannot afford more fuel." He said this problem has been recurring and the hospital has now gone up to two weeks without light or power, which is not good for the patients.
Komeh, who has worked at the hospital for more than four years, said he has a cordial relationship with the patients, despite the situation.
Saidu Kamara's wife recently gave birth at PCMH. He said he was charged Le 700,000 to admit her and provided Le 400,000 as a deposit. He is angry that he paid this much money and the hospital is without lights or basic services.
"When they want to do an operation, they light a small generator for the theatre," he said. "But for the entire hospital as a whole, there is no light." Mafereh Kargbo, a patient at PCMH, said she is managing despite the poor conditions.
"The three political parties need to come here and see how people are suffering," she said. "For the fact that elections are around the corner, if people are dying everyday, who do these people expect to vote for them?" Kargbo said the entire country, not just PCMH, needs much more attention focused on health issues and skyrocketing drug prices.
"When the SLPP was rallying, they threw rice at people in the streets," she said, angrily. "Why didn't they take the money spent on that rice and spend it on this hospital and other hospitals in the country?" Tenneh Kamara lies in another ward. She gave birth to twins on Wednesday and said in order for there to be free and fair elections the politicians need to visit hospitals and see what exists in them.
"One vote can make you a president," she said. "For the last week we were using candles in the hospital for light. These are some of the areas politicians need to come and see."

63. The Commission finds that divisions along ethnic and regional lines characterised the post-colonial period. Successive regimes favoured certain ethnic groups over others with regard to appointments in cabinet, the civil service and army.
64. Sierra Leoneans owed loyalty to their respective ethnic group rather than to the nation. They became captive to different systems of patronage. The basis for political, social and economic mobility was dependent on allegiance to a “pa” (benefactor) rather than effort based on merit.
65. By the end of the 1980s, Sierra Leone had becomea deeply fragmented country, marked by an almost total lack of national identity. Notions of citizenship and patriotism had become a meaningless concepts.

After looting the coffers of Sierra Leone and indiscriminately killing innocent people during the reign of terror of the NPRC, hooligans like Tom Nyumah and Maada Bio think they can still have their field day of impunity in Sierra Leone. They forget to know that they have hardened the hearts of Sierra Leoneans to stand against odds that threatens their existence. Latest incidents of Nyumah's RAMBO STYLE to assassinate Ernest Koroma, thinking he will go free should send signals to Maada Bio that his time is fast approaching if he dares threatens the peace and stability of Sierra Leone. As for Berewah, the sad mistake of employing thugs to terrorize our people coupled with the blood of 14 military personnel he ordered killed will be accounted for come August 11, 2007.

54. The Commission finds in particular that the term of government under the All People’s Congress (APC), particularly during the reign of President Siaka Stevens (1969 – 1985), was one that suppressed any semblance of opposition. The creation of a one-party state effectively neutralised all checks and balances on the exercise of executive power. The one-party state systematically closed down avenues for open debate and democratic activity.
55. By the time of the conflict, successive regimes had rendered the country devoid of governmental accountability. Institutions such as the judiciary and civil society had become mere pawns in the hands of the executive. Parliament proved itself to be a servile agent of the executive, lacking courage and determination to resist tyranny.
56. The Commission finds that all institutions of oversight must accept responsibility for the effective entrenchment of dictatorship and bad governance that laid the grounds for war.
57. There were no significant acts of resistance to the excesses of the system. Civil society was largely co-opted into the very same system. Organs or agents of the APC Government quickly crushed the few who did stand up to totalitarianism. In short,there were no real restraints on the executive. The rule of law was well and truly dead. Those in power became a law unto themselves.

I wonder why Tom decided to stay in the same hotel as Ernest Koroma's entourage. I can only say he was not up to any good.
Where did he get money to afford a hotel room anyway? As far as I know, the man is dead broke. I hope he makes it through this and I hope he learns a lesson that he does not own Sierra Leone.

The truth is that Tom Nyuma and John Benjamin arrived at the hotel before Ernest Koroma and his entourage. Tom's boys were in the car sleeping, when they were jumped on by Ernest Koroma's people and beaten up. They then proceeded to broke the door to Tom's hotel room, beat him up severely, and then went to the police with the story about an assasination attempt. Police invetigation is pending. No guns were found on Tom Nyuma or his people.

Tangible report available from 'Awareness Times' for all to see...
Awareness Times can authoritatively reveal today that Tom Nyuma was attacked and mercilessly beaten up by APC thugs who took over the hotel (Country Side Lodge) where Nyuma and John Benjamin were staying last night. According to our investigations, NOTHING, (ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!) can justify the attack on Nyuma. John Benjamin only escaped being beaten up because his vehicle developed a mechanical problem and was not in the hotel compound leading to the APC thugs believing that he was not in the hotel. Stay tuned for the full details of this SHAMELESS ACT OF VIOLENCE by the APC under the nose of their Leader, Ernest Koroma. It is a big disgrace of unimaginable proportions. JUST STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL DISGRACEFUL DETAILS INCLUDING OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE HOTEL'S RECEPTIONIST AND SECURITY PERSONNEL WHO WERE ALL HELD HOSTAGE AS THE RAMPAGING APC THUGS WENT ABOUT THEIR ACT OF DEVILRY...

Let us be real, a failure like Tom must not be encourage to destabilized our hard earned decorum. Infact, I believe the only reason he was there was to kill somebody. Now who the heck is Tom? You know, for humanitarian reasons I pray that he survives this episode. But somebody in the SLPP administration must STOP him. He is not doing you guys any good but bringing shame, embarrasement and horrible memories of the dastardly acts Tom and others unleashed on our people.

But why? How much more of this uncivilized behaviour thrown at our peoples by these bloody akartas must we stand for? Haven't these "people" learnt that their rude and violent behaviour will only come back to haunt them?

You tend to forget that you are not speaking from a standpoint of strength, nor are you speaking or writing in the behalf of those you seem to be grossly misrepresenting on this forum.
You try to implement what seems to be in your sordid imagination and see where that takes you.
Sorry good folks, on the forum and in peeperdom, for these outbursts of mine to this callous SOB, but I had to come out to straighten out this foolish motheren.

Nyuma's intent can be inferred from his actions or inactions. It does not "only come from Nyuma," as you said by mistake.
You also said: "The credibility of the source of the news is not in question, it is the cedibility of the fact."
Not true, again. Sorry. It is impossible to have a credible source giving a fact whose credibility is in question. So, like I said, that is a logical impossibility.
If the source is credible, then, it means any fact made vy that credible source is itself necessarily credible. Your statement to the contrary makes no sense, sorry.

There is a difference between an eye witness account... from a distance...(credible source based on distance)and the accounts of either Ernest or Nyuma. Even then Nyuma might have his own version as is Ernest. Both sources, though credible are subjective and cannot be totally true or false. It is at this point that I would subscribe to inference.

I drew a clear and concise distinction between the credibility of the news source and the credibility of the fact.An eye witness account can be a credible source but does not qualify a credible report. The source of the news can be credible but the reporter or the reported news can be fabricated. That nullifies source credibility.

"Nyuma's intent can be inferred from his actions or inactions" Inference from his action or inaction does not render it a fact either. Show of physical remorse after a committing a crime is not proof or expression of sorrow, nor does the reverse infer no remorse. Whatever is inferred by the Nyuma action or inaction does not make it fact. So what do we know besides what is out there...my guess is nothing but speculations

The swirl of violence coming from Salone's elections can still be stamped out if the police force, rebuilt with such fanfare by Britain can finally demonstrate its professionalism. In the past few weeks there have been allegations of assassination attempts on the lives of Charles Margai and Ernest Koroma by SLPP hooligans and vociferous counterclaims by the SLPP. The silence from IG Brima Acha Kamara has be deafening. Silence on the part of the police, at a time when violent men are trying to torpedo the democratic process smacks of criminal partisan complicity. If the IG were to go on radio today and publicly open a criminal investigation against thugs of all parties, and actually arrest someone, it will go a long way to tamping violence. If the top brass of the police makes it publicly clear to the different party bosses that they will hold them responsible for the actions of their thugs, no matter whose ax is gored, we will see a dramatic drop in violence. When the SLPP recently aired a political commercial showing a soldier, the military publicly denounced that move and asserted their independence and non-partisan complexion. The military is professional. Now is a chance for Brima Acha Kamara to demonstrate that he is nobody's lackey and that the police is also professional. We hold our journalistic fire while we await the police investigation into the Kailahun and Bo incidents.

As for SORIEBA who is one of the attackers, he was one of Tom Nyuma's bodyguard during NPRC and he is bitter because NPRC handover to a democratic regime and he decided to joint APC but the one that concern me most to known is that Ernest Koroma would hire late FODAY SANKOH's bodyguard who is LEATHERBOOT who was one of Tom Nyuma's attackers. It is a shame to the APC party. It should ring a bell that Tom Nyuma fought againt this rebel LEATHERBOOT so he want to revenge now

Better warn your sleeping sickness cabdidate Berewa that his time for ruining Salone will end on August 11. That is when the people of Kono will pay the Bumpe Killer, Solomon Belewa, for murdering their daughter, Kula Samb, by kicking the Sell People Party out of power..
That is the day the rest of the people of Salone will also pay the Yoda Belewa for helping Kabbah loot their country's money. Lonta by kicking the Sell People Party out of power. Lonta

For the ordinary Sierra Leonean who knows the history of the eastern and southern politics. It comes with no surprise to see these kind of assassination attempts taking place in that area. This is a proof that the people of those areas have been suppressed for a very long time. In the previous elections people were not given the chance to freely choose the party they would like to support. Many people would like to support the alternative parties but the SLPP elders with a monopolistic ideology brain washed the people, especially the Mende clan that the other rival tribe(s) are their enemies and a support for any party other than the slpp is a betrayal of the bond our elders made long before (be vooteh). Due to threats and other supressions and manipulation by the slpp or the elders of the clan, a whole generation was created with this ideology that our political rivals are our enemies and became more conservative society. A society that do not believe in anything outside their mythical beliefs. This mythical beliefs started to unravelled when Charles Margai overrode it and form an alternative party for the people of the south and east to experience atleast some form of demographic democracy if not a national democracy. This development has raise a lot of questions on the very myths that "Anyone who throws his/her support outside of the clan is a betrayal to our ancestors". This is why Margai is now the biggest threat in the clan. The SLPP is now seeing a whole sets of problems within it own clan as more and more people deviating from the long tradition of monopoly support for the slpp and make alternative of choices. This desperation has made the slpp to result to violence as the Lion is now being threaten in his own backyard. The people are now simulating other parts of the country where freedom of choice is a norm of the society. In 2002 elections for instance, the south and east voted 99.999% SLPP while in the rest of the country you see an open society where people are given the freedom to choose what ever party they like to support. This was why you saw the SLPP made significant gains in the nothern and western area. This is a shameful heritage for most open minded easterners and southerners who want to see the society atune to political freedom. So please SLPP appologists give freedom a chance. We know you will still like to continue the tradition of our forefathers, but it does not work in today's world. It is an old tradition that do not have space in today's politics. The people have been suppressed for so long in that part of the country. It is time to let go and let the people decide for them selves. It's over, the tradition has been broken by the son of the soil and nothing we can do about that.

I think people should vote their conscience, aspirations and comvictions. All parties should be free to campaign in all parts of the country without intimidation. People who engage in tribal politics and declare some regions as NO GO areas for their opponents do their country a disservice. This politics of division is the sad reason why we lost nearly 100000 souls in the rebel war. A timely posting indeed.

Am I hearing APC crying about violence in the Politics of Sierra Leone?. APC talking about Bandits, Thugs? I must be in another world. But if I am still in this planet, I do remember that after the 1967 election, after the Military coups, Sheka Steves became Prime Minister of Sierra Leone. By the next General Election, APC introduced to our political system the mantra of violence, Kidnapping, Bombing press offices, Unopposed, Selection rather than Election,the list is long.Yes we remember late Agba Satani as the CEO of the Thugs. Do you remember the name Abaiomi Alhadi alias (HIGHWAY).He was my relative by blood. Another Big name in the APC Package of thugs was “ KARAY”. O yes, we remember him. He was the one who went to Ginger Hall in the east end of Freetown, and burned down the whole area, because the people supported the SLPP. He was later killed by APC, when he was paid to cross over to the then newly form National Democratic Party NDP led by Karifa Smart. He was run over by APC campaign Truck, as he tried to stop them in an ambush. Do we remember Burnton, Sorei Iron Body, and All the Gang of the RAINBOW BOYS from Central Freetown. I can name them in the hundreds. I once resided at the same street (Lumley Street) with them. Do you remember when the late Alhaji Sanusi Mustapha was kidnapped in Bo town by APC Thugs, as he was campaigning for the bye election in the Bo north East Constituency of which he was the SLPP candidate?. Do you remember when Dr. Yilla was beaten by APC Thugs, because he lambasted S.I.KOROMA IN Parliament? I can give you history of APC Act of violence in the Politics of Sierra Leone. Do you remember when one APC Member of Parliament ( J.P.Conteh) told Hon. Manna Kpaka that they APC will “ kick your Ass” because he was attacking Sheka Stevens in Parliament. Do we remember the bombing of the Unity News Paper press hours after they published information regarding a pending attack on Salia Jusu Sheriff then Parliament leader of the SLPP?. The Late Alimamy Conteh Editor of the paper was Jailed, with out question for six month. Please APC, Tell it to the Children. Many of us are still alive, and we remember very well, the History of How Violence came into the politics of Sierra Leone.

Do YOU remember the REAL bonbing of inocent people by the THOUSANDS IN 1997 AND 1998 by the SLPP killer, Tejan Kabbah usinf foreign mercenaries from Nigeria and other countries? Did those poor Sierra Leoneans do anything to Kabbah to cause him to order them REALLY bombed with Alpha Jets?
I can't believe the SLPP would talk about bombing in Salone when it is the SLPP who holds the world record for BOMBING inocent Sierra Leoneans and EATING their flesh. Just ask the KAMAJOR KANIBALS.

MY Dear BROTHER, sorry I do not know your name. I think you are mixing apples and Oranges. Let be honest for the sake of honesty. The Nigerians did not came to Sierra Leone, during election time,or when we have peace. It was only when the Army of Sierra Leone who took the oath to defend our people and constitution, turned against our people and Join with Foday Saccoh and the RUF, that was when Tejan Kabbah, as president of the Nation, under his constitutional obligation to the people of Sierra Leone,( AND AS ANY OTHER RESPONSIBLE LEADER WILL DO) ask for help to save our people. I don't know if you would have love to see more of our people WOmen AND CHILDREN, killed, or raped of mutilated BY the hands of the RUF.If our Army had done their job, he would not have any reason to call for Nigerian Troops to come to the rescue . How ever that is not the issue at this moment my Brother, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT VIOLENCE IN THE POLITICS OF SIERRA LEONE. IT WAS THE APC WHO STARTED THIS, AND NOW THEY ARE CRYING CROCODILE TEARS.
THE ONLY TIME APC CRY AGAINST VIOLENCE, IS WHEN PEOPLE REFUED TO TAKE IT ANY MORE. NOW THE PEOPLE OF FREETOWN ARE SICK OF IT WITH APC AND THEIR VIOLENCE, AND IT WILL BE FIGHTING FIRE WITH FIRE.

My dear cousin sulay,
I have been informed that you and other slpp members have been providing "Red" Tee shirts to some SLPP THUGS so that they can use their tee shirts to violate the law and then blame it on the APC. I hereby warn caution, and advise you that these acts are in violation of the tenets of the legal profession that you have been a member of for a very long time now.
As a blood relative of mine, allbeit on the other end of the political spectrum, I urge you to act in a manner that my granpas Banja and Abdul salaam will be proud of. Remember that the name Banja Tejan sie has NEVER been known to be dragged in the dirt and you must not allow the political momment to bring you to the point of dragging the name in the dirt. I will NOT allow that. By the way you still owe me on the bet we had at Kwames bar at Bathurst street, prior to the slpp "conbention".
I bet you $1000.00 that Charles Margai will lose the convention to Berewah and that after he losses he would form a new party. All of that has happened and you have not paid up. This should put you on notice that I INTEND to collect on this honest debt. I was also going to lay a side bet that you would leave the Margai camo when that happened and you did. Man you have to pay up. can you imagine what the odds were that I would be right on all of thise bets? Staggering!!!!
You have been warned. Be a supporter if you must but please my dear brother stay away from the SLPP kukujumoukou.

Sullay left margai's camp when Margai lost the leadership contest and that was his free choice. he knew forming a party was a very disastrous and divisive move by the margai camp. he believed changes should be fought within.

NYUMA ARRESTED AND HOSPITALIZED IN BO
(Rev Alfred Sam-Foray)
We now have confirmed reports from independent sources in Bo that former NPRC strongman and born-again SLPP enforcer, Thomas Nyuma, was beaten and seriously wounded and is presently admitted to Dr. Yilla’s hospital in Bo Latest information from PMDC sources is that Nyuma sustained a fractured skull and cannot be transferred to Freetown on advice of physician. Nyuma is also under police custody for unlawful possession of firearms and trespassing on a hotel occupied by APC presidential aspirant, Ernest Bai Koroma. Bai Koroma and his APC entourage are presently campaigning in the Southern capital in an effort to gain some grounds in the previously out-of-bounds SLPP stronghold in the South-Eastern Region.
Last weekend, Nyuma and his former boss, Julius Marda Bio along with Sierra Leone’s ambassador to Liberia, Patrick Foyah, were cited in Kailahun where the leader of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Charles Francis Margai, and his campaign team were canvassing in the Eastern Region. In that incident, Foyah is reported to have fired a gun at Margai. Police arrived and intervened in time before PMDC supporters sent Ambassador Foyah on his final diplomatic mission to the Court of St. Peter. The SLPP regional office building in Kailahun is said to be non-existent after last weekend’s engagement between SLPP and PMDC supporters. President Tejan Kabbah is said to have wept after viewing the carnage in the township â€" the birthplace of Sierra Leone’s eleven-year civil war.
In the characteristically no-nonsense town of Bo, Nyuma and his team were much less fortunate. But for the intervention of the APC leader, Nyuma would have joined his ancestors from the hands of the APC security forces. Nyuma is reported to have entered the hotel with an automatic pistol. The opposition has recently made known to the UN that the ruling SLPP has made available weapons to its supporters such as Nyuma and Ambassador Foyah who were using them for political intimidation.
Our leaders in Sierra Leone are well advised that the 2007 general and presidential elections slated for August 11 must be won by the ballot and not by the bullet. The introduction of firearms, if true, is a serious drawback to the efforts by the international community to rid the country of arms and ammunition. Nyuma and his bosses must also keep in mind that the people of Sierra Leone are not to be intimidated by thugs and hooligans. Those who fail to realize the present resolve of our people have only themselves to blame. Hopefully, Col. Nyuma will have enough time in hospital to dwell on this current reality in the country. After being recently deported from the US apparently for domestic violence but more correctly for his participation in unlawful killings during the early days of the NPRC, Nyuma should have learned his lessons.
If not, he will learn it the hard way â€" in the hospital, in prison or in the grave.
Alfred SamForay,
Chair, PMDC Indiana.

TOM NYUMA IN CRITICAL CONDITION AT DR.YILLA'S CLINIC , SAYS WIFE, AS APC INSIST ON ASSASSINATION STORY
While All People's Congress ( APC ) supporters continue to insist that Lt. Col Tom Nyuma led an assassination attempt on APC leader , Ernest Koroma this morning, a tearful Mrs. Nyuma has called COCORIOKO to say that her husband is now in a critical condition at the Dr. Yilla Clinic in Bo following what she described as an attack on him by APC supporters.
The APC version this morning , which came as a scoop to COCORIOKO was that Nyuma had been arrested along with many others ,after he tried to kill the APC leader at the Country Inn Hotel in Bo. However, a very upset and tearful Mrs. Nyuma called this newspaper hours later to say that her husband has not been arrested and is s infact sedated at the moment at Dr. Yilla's clinic, with head injuries and both his eyes are swollen and shut .
According to the Chairman of the North American Branch of the APC, Alex Mansaray , at dawn today SLPP supporters led by Tom Nyma stormed the hotel to try to kill Ernest Koroma .The APC National Secretary General in Sierra Leone , Mr. Victor Foh, confirmed the story to our reporters.
According to the APC version, Nyuma and other Sierra Leone People's Party ( SLPP ) thugs raided the hotel where Ernest Koroma and party had decided to spend the night when they arrived in Bo after days of successful campaigning in Kenema . APC supporters insist that Nyuma and some armed men went to the hotel to kill Koroma, but the attempt was foiled by supporters.
However, Mrs Nyuma droled : "How can they accuse my husband of an assassination attempt when he is almost at the point of death ? This is not true.This is false ," she exclaimed .Mrs Nyuma who appeared very worried from the tone of her voice, said that Tom Nyuma, Maada Bio and John Benjamin had been to parts of the East --Kailahun and Kenema -and were on the way to Frretown when they decided to pass the night in Bo.She said that while her husband and others were sleeping, a mob attacked and mercilessly beat Nyuma up .She said had it not been for the grace of God, Nyuma would have been beaten to death.
She said that Tom Nyuma was rushed to the Bo Government Hospital, but since it was too early in the morning, the hospital authorities said the health facility was not open to handle such an emergency .Since Nyuma's condition was deteriorating, he had to be rushed to Dr. Yilla's clinic where he is now sedated and fighting for his life. Nyuma's security officer, simply referred to as Philip, was also seriously injured and was being taken to Freetown for treatment.

Bo is not an APC stronghold, and the APC will not in anyway attempt any silly incident in an area where they do not have much support.
To say that Tom was attacked while he was sleeping is bogus and full of deception. He had a motive to be in the hotel occupied by Ernest and others. If he was in a convoy with John Ben and Maarda, why did he not spend the night together with them in the same hotel. Why were John Ben and marda not attacked?

Nyuma was sent to kill because he was the most junior of the three SLPP goons. "Benjamin is a Finance minister, better protection, Maada is a former Head of State, better protection,"

You mean we are wasting Government money to provide state secuity for Tom Nyuma? Is he a state official? Even Strasser or Dr. Demby do not go around with armed body guards. The Inspector General Of police should explain to the people why he is wsting public funds for private security, except if you wnt to tell me that all SLPP suporters have the protection of the law to do what they want to whoever.

They did what they did and got away with it. Made a deal with Kabbah for amnesty and scholarships abroad so as to make way for the Kabbah led SLPP government.
SLPP is bent on staying in power at whatever costs and will go to all lengths to disenfranchise the people of Sierra Leone. Ndorgbowusu; RUF; NPRC are offshots of the SLPP.

If he was beaten up in Freetown, Bo or kenema, he deserves it. His wife can cry her eyes out, that's her problem. There are people Tom beat up in NPRC days that will be dancing for joy. What goes around, comes around. But on the other hand, what can a penniless deportee do... he would do what he knows best. He did not study like his former compatriates. Even if he did, he does not have the brain to retain anything.
I know he has his fans, but he did not and will not know anything better than 'left, right, about turn and quick march'. This exposes the thuggery practiced by the SLPP. It is tantamount to state thuggery and the people of Sierra Leone will not succumb to any stupidity of that nature. I have a sad feeling that SLPP will be declared the winners of the elections and that will be a very sad day for ordinary people like us.
Dont get me wrong, I dont like the APC and it seems we are stuck with the devil or the deep blue sea. (I hope I said that right). I hope his antics will not give credence to the Immigration authorities handling the Kambo case. But as they say, 'one bad apple.....'
To his wife and family I would say 'if you nor troway asses, asses nor go falla you'

The hotel is not Koroma's home, it is for all, so the fact that he(tom) was there is not an issue.
This was the plan of the APC to attack NYUMA since he has more following in the east than SUMANA and Maagai combine.

If the APC wants to introduce VIOLENCE into this election, we in the SLPP will reciprocate.
They with their mouth piece COCORIOCCO, were the first to put out one sided story about assassination attempt on their leader by TOM.
If anything happens to him, this news paper and the APC Party will have to answer.

Your statement, "this Newspaper and the APC will have to answer," is misguided and misdirected. What has Cocorioko has to do with the fate of Tom Nyumah? His failed opportunities and frustration led him to be a hired thug, consequently he has gotten his reward. The blood of the innocent which NPRC spilled is hunting them one by one. Valentine Strasser is now useless man, Maada Bio fate is in the balance and will soon receive his wages of transgression. Remember these ill-fated thugs and failures cannot claim to be more Sierra Leoneans than others nor are they vested with the power cause mahem and destruction without reciprocation. Sierra Leone is not a mende or slpp country it is country for all. Therefore any attempt to marginalize and use violence by anyone will be met by stiff resistance.

Managing Conflict, in Life & Work: Using Ancient and Modern Approaches
By Dr. Jason Armstrong
Summary: A fascinating and useful discussion of managing conflict bringing together ancient wisdom and philosophy with modern day thinking on conflict management. Draws from Sun Tzu (The Art of War), Stephen Covey, and Zen.
“Conflict” is a word that can have varying degrees of severity, meaning, and implication for each individual or circumstance. For example, the conflict that is experienced in our current, daily lives seems insignificant in comparison to the Samurai, or those in war, who faced death on a regular basis. However, it is still important to extrapolate the significant lessons that have been derived from such severe scenarios, as these notions are still applicable in the conflict that we experience in the workplace and life today.
Conflict is unavoidable, as each individual has unique and differing thoughts, ideas, and opinions. Therefore, it is important to learn ways to minimize and manage this difficulty, in order to ensure efficient and harmonious interactions. This article provides the genesis of a personal path, introducing tools and ways to minimize and manage conflict, while pointing to the origin of these concepts. After an overview of these modern and ancient approaches, a discussion will follow on applying successful tools and techniques for managing conflict. These ideas can be used to help clear the mind for better decision-making, and consequently, ensure a personal pathway to success.
New approaches to ancient concepts
Profound strategies and lessons to minimize and manage conflict have been around for thousands of years in forms such as the classic Chinese texts the “Book of Change – Tao de Ching” and the “Art of War”. Today, modern legends including Stephen Covey (“7 Habits for Highly Effective People”) and Dale Carnegie present similar corporate and personal tools. As many know the “7 Habits” is not a group of new concepts, but age-old approaches to success and conflict management, represented in a way that can be clearly applied to modern day personal and corporate development.
Discovering the origin & foundation of concepts
Although many of the true ancient concepts have been exaggerated or misused through incorrect interpretations, they can be applied in non-extreme forms relevant to the modern day from such arts as: Zen (which is not a religion, but a path for self discovery and growth), the “Art of War” by Sun Tzu (the classic text on strategy which is often regarded as the most definitive text on the topic), and the Tao de Ching (the “book of change”). These all provide profound lessons for leadership, change, success, peace of mind and conflict management.
A workplace example – an tense group meeting debating a topic
If one has to enter a meeting with a number of staff peers on a topic that is likely to require an intense debate, a strategy can be put into place to help provide a successful outcome (this should be combined with the other approaches outlined below). For example, one can approach the members of the meeting individually prior to the meeting to convey your preferred position. Once the meeting has started you will hopefully already have likely confrontational people already “on-side” to achieve your desired outcome in a non-confrontational way.
The Key to Managing Conflict: bringing it all together, and applying it today
All the above methods (old and new) are about changing core behavior and approaches, in order to avoid conflict and simultaneously achieve personal success.
As Sun Tzu states:
“If you know yourself and know others – you will be successful.
If you know others and not yourself, you will win one and lose one.
If you do not know others and do not know yourself, you are destined for failure in every battle.”
These are core values, and far more important than putting band-aids on problems, or approaching things with simply a short-term change. In regard to the ancient philosophies, they of course must be interpreted, and applied, using case studies and real world examples in a context that matches the modern corporate world. Applied Zen (www.AppliedZen.com) is a company that provides workshops, and downloadable videos online, regarding these exact topics with a unique approach. This is achieved through implementation of physical interaction drills to reinforce the concepts covered in workshop presentations. Studies have shown that learning conflict management based on physical as well as mental practice greatly increases the participants’ retention, and consequently, aids in implementation (more than 2 to 3 fold improvement).
Aggressive escalation of conflict
Conflict is derived from many circumstances, but quite regularly it can be escalated because of a person’s approach to the situation. In the Japanese language, there are two words that help to describe this: aiki and kiai. These words are derived from the same two characters, and are simply reversed to convey an opposite meaning. Kiai is a form of showing intensity and channelling it towards an individual, and in the martial arts ‘kiai’ is a very loud, expulsion of air and voice to intimidate or scare an opponent. Aiki is the opposite of head-to-head approaches and allows one to avoid escalating conflict (hence the martial art “Aiki-do”). Yet the approach still incorporates assertiveness a key attribute in any successful negotiation. Consider for a moment which concept would be most beneficial in dealing with conflict in a meeting at work or your personal life: kiai, or aiki?
“Show softness yet engage the opponent with hardness. Show weakness yet engage with fluid strength”
Obviously aiki is more practical, and will produce a more desired outcome. If we listen with the intent to understand - not to respond, if we get all our thoughts together before we confront another person, we can strategically work with someone to maintain our own balance and not produce antagonism in the person with whom we are dealing.
“Reaching a centered state, so I can perform at my best”
Having an open mind, and a relaxed physical and mental state will ensure I have an approach which is non-confrontational and provide a first step to maganging or avoiding conflict. An approach of aligning your thoughts and actions, and taking a moment to breathe and release tension, will create a more relaxed state within yourself as well as the person you are dealing with. This approach will enable you to convey your points in a way that your opponent will be unable to avoid or refuse. Settling oneself creates a calm and open mind: you are able to listen, think, and respond (in this order), and this is positively received by others. If you are able to settle yourself at any point (i.e. before, during, or after you feel aggression arising), others will respond to your calm, open mind, and it will put them into the same relaxed state. In various physical arts the importance of relaxed upper body, a low center of gravity and appropriate breathing creates this state. Zen and other conflict relevant arts have such Japanese terms such as “mushin”, “mizu no kokoro” and using the “hara” (stomach area) for creating and optimal physical state for mental performance.
Conflict within oneself – perhaps the most important conflict to understand Lessons such as “trying to defend/attack too many areas at once leaves the troops divided and weak” from Sun Tzu can be translated to an individual. Just as Stephen Covey asks, “How thin can you spread yourself before you are no longer there?”. Applying such lessons to your life today can have a profound impact on personal conflict – don’t take on more than you can handle, or you will begin to sacrifice the very essence of who you are. Although it is not direct conflict between two people, it is still relevant. If you have conflict within yourself, you are destined to have conflict with others. You will understand that conflict is not merely the apparent external problems – it also involves each individual and his/her conflicts within.
Sharpen the sword… This article provides and introduction to some of the methods and principles used in Applied Zen corporate training (www.AppliedZen.com). Businesses and individuals everywhere are using these philosophies to manage conflict more effectively and to achieve success. Therefore, it is essential to train one’s skills & endure ongoing development. As the ancient Samurai saying states, “Continuously sharpen the sword, or it will go blunt!”
Definition of Conflict, Merriam/Webster Dictionary: 1 : FIGHT, BATTLE, WAR 2 a : competitive or opposing action of incompatibles : antagonistic state or action (as of divergent ideas, interests, or persons) b : mental struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or external or internal demands 3 : the opposition of persons or forces that gives rise to the dramatic action in a drama or fiction

I am surprise at the goodwill gesture by Ernest Koroma and the party members that apprehended Tom Nyuma, as to why on earth they handed him over to police. They should have taught him a lesson by lynching him to death. That would have sent a message to others that have the same intentions like him, to think carefully, before engaging themselves in such barbaric activities. Do Ernest Koroma truly believes the police are going to charge him to court, then he must think again as the Sierra Leone police is the most corrupt institution and only dances to the tune of the political party of the day. And i believe the people that orchestrated this crime are no other than the ruling elite.
I happen to be in Freetown when Maada Bio stated that if APC wins the election, he would not hesitate to overthrow them. Did the police did anything about that no. That is a treasonable offence, by threatening to overthrow a democratic government. Yet still the SLPP had the opportunity to distance themselves from Bio's statement, but they did'nt as they condone it.
I believe Ton Nyuma should have received mob justice, instead of wasting public money to bring him to book, and that would have definitely deter others.

Alie, Sierra Leone is a country of laws. When there is an allegation against anybody, the most civilize thing to do is to ask the police to investigate the allegation. I know that members of the APC do not believe in the rule of law, but I advise them not to take the law into their hands. Knowing the APC well as I do, I am sure that after a proper investigation, the police will see no case against Tom Nyuma.
Alie, the days of APC thuggery and violence are far gone and they will never come back. Every Sierra Leonean must be willing to do things within the norms of civilize behavior.

"Knowing the APC well as I do, I am sure after pproper investigation, the police will see no case against Tom Nyuma." Indeed you've exposed the corrupt and bised judicial system of the SLPP. You are right, the police will not find a case against him because if they do, the investigators will lose thier jobs or even killed secretly. It's a shame for any rationale being to continue to justify the disgrace and dehumanization the SLPP government has exposed Sierra Leone. Can't you refocus your mind that governments are not there to last forever, even the unborn children are crying in their mothers stomachs because of the suffering and wickedness the SLPP government has exposed Sierra Leone. Therefore, it is time for change and complete purging of the status quo. So no amount hired thugs like Nyuma, Bio cannot stop that change or they will end up in the gallows.

Early Morning scoop : 4 : 30 am Eastern Standard Time
ATTEMPT REPORTED ON APC LEADER ERNEST KOROMA'S LIFE There has been an attempt on the life of the Presidential candidate of the opposition All People's Congress ( APC ) , Mr. Ernest Koroma , according to leading officials of the party early this morning.
Ex- Lt. Col TOM NYUMA, the former National Provisional Ruling Council ( NPRC) junta member , whose political activities in Sierra Leone since his deportation from the U.S. last month has raised serious concern among Sierra Leoneans, is said to have been arrested by the Police in connection with this alleged assassination attempt which was said to have happened in Bo. Others unnamed were also arrested.
Though there has been no official or independent confirmation of the alleged assassination attempt, a former intelligence officer in Sierra Leone , with links to the party, who is the only man we could get to pick up the phone, admitted that the story is true. Reports said that the Police are right now searching for other suspects . We will follow the story all day and will give you updates . PHOTO : Ernest Koroma

Winston i have always known you as someone very honest, outspoken and that have the interest of Sierra Leone.
So people that have doubting you, have not had dealings with you.
Although i dont support any party, but seeing you as a very active spokesperson for the SLPP, makes me have hopes for the future. I know you as a man that have principles and always fight for what you believe.
I personally admire your relentless effort to kick start KDDA, although you were not born in Kambia, you put district boundaries aside, and played a major role than even we the Kambia descendants. So in you i see patriotism beyond ethnic, provincial and district boundaries to champion the general welfare of every Sierra Leonean.
So seeing you in the SLPP, may restore my faith on that party.

Thank you Mr. Alie Sultan. Let not our differences in opinions destroy the fabri of the old.
Sierra Leone deserves better than tricksters. Alie, SLPP is the only party that has given me hope. APC, with 24 yrs of rule and lavish spending - nothing was done. I schooled all over Sierra Leone and during those times was in constant battle with their children. I was a friend to 99% of them. they knew my position in terms of political affialiation but we got onwell. some of them had to thank me for making their fathers listen to their cries.
i am not selfish in nature. If I have the opportunity to help an opponent, i will do it but will always be on my guard - a unique ability that has made me indestructible. God is my guide and believe there is so much bad in the best of us as there is so much good in the worst of us.

Politics is a brutal sport. Be ready for the ups and down and risks in life. You do not win because you think you are a better candidate. You have to campaign hard.
I am sure , I will hear that there is an assasination attempt on the lives of the UNPP and NDA candidates next.

Too many cry babies who cannot help themselves - so look for excuses. The SLPP campaign team should have known the proclivities of Nyuma and contain him in an area that will not see the opposition taking advantage of his record. Nyuma should have stayed in Freetown with Berewa. i am sure he had no intention of assasinating Ernest - but as you know - the tamed wolf was there and they have to concoct an alarm nous. Our SLPP leaders should take this election seriously. Games are been planned and they have to use wisdom to inherit a sane society after we win.

Alieu, i use to challenge authorities because I believe I am always right. In 27 June 2006, seven offices stormed my office, because I told them they are a disgrace to her majesty's crown. The started kicking and punxching me. They eventaully charged me for assault on police officers. On the 14 November 2006, i stood before three judges and lamented my experience with these officers and was acquitted. i then realised that the world runs by a particular system - I will never challenge the wrong - instead I will exploratively reason with them. I was aware of the words I used on the officers and it hurt them so bad.
Tom Nyuma and other SLPP members should stay clear off the likes of die hard trouble makers of the opposition. It is not about fear but the construction of chaos that may affect the whole. I wanted to have gone to help in the campaign but concerned family members advised otherwise.
Do not give 'them' THE OPPORTUNITY to cry wolf where non exists.

Ernest Koroma showed great love by asking his supporters not to lynch the murderer as they captured him. Maada Bio also needs to be monitored now. We are now going down a road where the SLPP has made it possible for war to break out in the country at anytime.
This situation wherein the SLP is arming ex NPRC Officers to cause havoc and mayhem needs to be challenged by all means necessary.
The international Community must not allow the SLPP to free Tom Nyuma. He has commited a grave crime. Berewa has incarcerated Omrie Golley for eighteen months without finding a weapon in his hand. Now, we want to see the outcome of the case of Tom Nyuma. All the APC supportrers must use all their energy to see that Tom Nyuma faced the wrath of the law. He had killed many people and go scot free. If he is released Sierra Leone will be degenerated into a den of lawlessness. Ernest Koroma nust ensure that the law takes its course by making it plain that Tom Nyuma must be brought in a court of law. After all, Mr Koroma is the principal opposition leader and his safety must be ensured.
The entire APC campaign team has to stand behinmd their leader to see that justice is not denied.

You made me laugh!! Such desperation can cause a heart attack. What did I say that warranted your 'F' word. Put Sierra Leone above your petty party - I am doing the same. Berewa is not greater than anyone - I just believe he is the only one we have now that can help arrest our numerous problems. I will be the first to reproach him, if I see him doing anything not in our national interest.

Breaking News
Assasination Attempt on APC Presidential Candidate Ernest Koroma....Tom Nyuma and Two Others Detained in Bo District.
Reports reaching Standard Times from the Southern Provincial town of Bo indicated that the former National Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) Resident Secretary of State, Eastern province ex-Lt. Col. Tom Nyuma and two others have been arrested in connection with an alleged assassination attempt on the life of the All Peoples Congress Presidential candidate Ernest Koroma.
According to unofficial reports from Bo, Tom Nyuma and his cronies in crime were armed to the teeth with semi-automatic pistols and were trying to sneak into the Country Inn Hotel at the Bo/Kenema Highway where the APC leader Ernest Koroma was passing the night after his campaign tour in Bo District when they were apprehended by security guards loyal to the APC Presidential candidate.
Tom Nyuma, reports say was dressed all black when he was arrested at about 4:00 am today Monday 23 rd July with two of his cronies who formed part of his ranger squad. “The hotel was in turmoil when they were arrested and if not for the timely intervention of The APC leader they would have been lynched by angry APC supporters” says one of our sources.
It has been confirmed as at press time that the Local Unit Commander of the Bo District Police Division Superintendent FUK Daboh has arrived at the hotel and the matter is now in the hands of the law enforcers.
It should be recalled that the former NPRC Resident Secretary of State Eastern province is notorious for violence and was recently deported from the United States due to domestic violence. As investigations continue we will bring you more details as it unfolds.

Erudite Politician and Leader of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Lawyer Charles Francis Margai last Wednesday 18th July 2007, launched his Party’s Manifesto during which Margai informed all that he was a "Field Marshall" who was well trained in guerilla tactics.
According to Margai, he led his convoy safely out of Kailahun District despite the fact that several ambushes were laid for him all along the route s he used to travel from Kailahun to Kenema.
Margai says that Ambassador Patrick Foyah himself led one of the ambushes around Belugu village in Kailahun but he went on to state that the manner with which Charles Margai managed to escape that ambush made the Ambassador and his SLPP colleagues realize they were dealing with a true Field Marshal in the person of Charles Margai.
Lawyer Margai also had a few choice words for the Inspector General of Police, Brima Acha Kamara whom he described as being "unfit" to lead the Sierra Leone Police. He expressed that he is totally dissatisfied that the police did not take any action when his car was allegedly attacked and damaged by SLPP supporters at Lamin Vondo Ngobeh’s compound, and that when he called on IG Kamara to rescue him, the IG told him that the Police was not officially aware of Margai’s presence in Kailahun. He promised to instill discipline into the IG and other police officers if he becomes President.
He further promised the people that when he becomes President, he will improve on
governance, rule of law and the security of the state. He promised to also strengthen the Judiciary, develop devolution exercise in the local government, increase civil society participation in the government, improve upon foreign relations and introduce financial management which he says has been lacking by the SLPP led Government. The launching itself had a large turnout of PMDC supporters all decked out in their bright orange colours as well as many other Kenema residents who were not necessarily PMDC members but who turned up for the festivities and dancing. At the rally, a young PMDC supporter named Albert Sandy was caught with a dagger in his bosom ready for attack. According to police sources, Albert says he had a dagger on him because of rumours that SLPP supporters wanted to attack their leader Margai and so he took along the dangerous weapon to defend himself and the leader. Speaking to Awareness Times, the Sierra Leone Police’s Local Unit Commander for Kenema Town, Mr. Vincent Kenie informed that intelligence reports show that many of the crowd of orange clad PMDC supporters including the arrested Albert Sandy were all imported from other regions and that most of them were in possession of knives.
Earlier, whilst addressing the crowd, Mr. Charles Margai had described the PMDC as the largest party in Sierra Leone with the largest membership that was poised to take over Sierra Leone’s Government come August 11th.

Bambay, do not believe whatever margai says - he is always crying wolf where non exists. Now he is a FIELD MARSHALL - he does not even know what it takes to be a field marshall. In the UK we only have five field marshalls of which only two are actively in operation - Prince Philip and prince Edward. Prince Charles is another but he prepares a silent position.

Greetings my brothers and sisters. Cornelius Hamelberg thank you once again, for these words and links. I have learned a lot, elevating or improving what I already have or know. The lack of knowledge is the greatest poverty in the world and I salute you for such poverty reduction scheme.
The purpose of a forum of this nature is to give Sierra Leoneans an opportunity to exchange ideas, the purpose for which democracy, (the Rule of Law) Free Speech has worked in the First World and in other democracies. We are here to inform one another of things that happen in the world; relating to politics, entertainment, sports, business, education: Religion and the Sciences to name a few, so as to educate one another, al3rt one another, inform one another, encourage one another, appease one another, correct one another, enlighten one another, send one another as messengers to deliver the good news to the poor. How many times did Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammad (peace and blessing be upon him) refer to the poor, but were all their followers "poor" people meaning, without financial resources? Poor is the faint hearted, the one who lacks courage, who is unadventurous, the hurdy, the arrogant, who lacks knowledge, who lacks vision and refuses to find-out anything that would enlighten him or her, improve him or her and guide him or her to contribute meaningfully towards the progress of the world. We have leaders who have money but are poor and powerless because they lack the knowledge of leadership. They follow other poor leaders’ examples who themselves exit power disgracefully. Knowledge is power.
Your posting of Forbes list is indicative of the fact that you are dedicated to education and selfless. In the 1960's and 1970's one who read business magazines would tell you that the wealthiest man was the Tsar. But have you seen how knowledge has dominated the wealth line.
I would have hoped that most of our compatriots would have taken their time to read some of these links we have been posting here, which would have been of tremendous value to Sierra Leone. My worry has never been about Kabba, Berewa, and Foday Sankoh and so on and so forth because they will never be on this earth twenty to thirty years from now and their legacies, we will have to see. Besides, it is difficult after what they have been accustomed to, to adjust to the barrage of information that comes their way, substantially different from their years. Therefore, our generation and generations to come are the ones that need to buckle-up because most of the things we see in this forum are the ways Sierra Leone has to deal with twenty years from now if we are not already in it. Therefore, now is the time to begin that preparedness. The lack of information is why most people were adamant about the acceptance of the general, failing to realize that facts are different from fictions. What is fact is fact especially if two or more people know about it, it will prevail. The Bible, the Torah and the quoran are information that are relevant to shaping our moral, social and financial being; helping us to do it the right way in order to prevent us from looking over our shoulders and from going to hell. The wise believes that if he cannot do it the right way then he can accept Heaven as the price. The fools want to make it any way.
Therefore, I am very appreciative of your efforts to give us worthy information, and I hope we can take our time to read them so that we can not be the only people in the dark: the poor. This shows your selflessness and dedication to education, I thank you.

Thanks too for many informative postings – for all of us – even if it’s not all of us who are interested in everything – since sometimes, some things can be too technical - all that DNA stuff etc……
It's a war against ignorance and darkness.
- It's 2.30 a.m. here in Stockholm....... and tomorrow night the fast of Tisha Beav begins.......
WE are so scattered far and wide in the Diaspora - many away from families and childhood friends, (so much nostalgia) and you may thank Rev. Kabs Kanu too who has provided the facility to gather some of us the home sick here, Rev Kanu & management who puts up with some of our tantrums and still has us here as the inter party and to some extent inter-tribal political warfare begins.
The persistence of this “Margai says he escaped SLPP Ambushes in Kailahun.” Is a very worrying symptom with the lections only three weeks away and the push don cam pan shove won’t make anything easier. If anything these reports, true or false promote an atmosphere of suspicion – maybe sympathy for Charles Margai and less fro the devil, but what is likely to happen is that this type of confrontation gets out of hand – when someone thinks that someone else who does not have a right to be there, is invading their sacred territory, to canvass and win votes.
I came upon these two items from along list which the author says could go on for another seven days:
Bandit-controlled capital
*Small arms proliferation
What if there is a real shoot out and some one gets hurt? A shoot-out between bodyguards of Berewa and Margai? Between the police and - and “the criminals?” whose side is the Police on? Does Foya have diplomatic immunity for what he does with his fire arm, in Sierra Leone? Remember “Lethal Weapon “ series….. The South African guy saying “diplomatic immunity” for his fire power transgressions?

Cornelius Hamelberg thank you once again for your response. Indeed, our daily presence here has manifested our understanding of making time for the most important things in life. It is about 12:00p.m here in Sacramento, California. I wish you the best in the fasting.
Yes, we are one and the same because we both believe in the free exercise of democracy and we believe in God.
We need to thank Rev. Kabs-Kanu for creating this web site for us to gather here. In that light therefore, it is best to acknowledge the tremendous gains we have achieved through our gatherings here. These forums have served bigger roles not perceivable with the naked eyes. It has served as a place, where we can learn about each other, and I have observed a great deal of development or improvement made by most Sierra Leoneans, of whom Rev. Kabs-Kanu is no exception. He is a changed man himself. He has learned the art of true democracy. Though there is room for improvement.
Most importantly, we must thank the Pentagon, the University of California in California, the University of Utah in Utah and the University of California in Santa Barbara whose collective collaboration has helped in inventing a technology, which has made it possible for us to communicate no matter how far and wide apart we might have existed. They are the ones who created the Internet in 1961. For that ingenuity, I say thank you.
I see the need to tap our brothers on the shoulder but it is also important to give them the impetus for more improvements.
I was watching a program from Atlanta, where African nations especially, French-Speaking countries are spreading the good image of Africa on television and the Internet. In fact, there was a contributor on that show who joined this forum but has since departed and has not contributed after the example he saw demonstrated by Sierra Leoneans against a fellow Sierra Leonean. Where is Umaru Bah? We must not loose sight of such developments, observations and observers who join us to solidify the fabric.
For Sierra Leone to gain trade and entrepreneurship, we must have favorable exposure. Yes, many movies have been made about Sierra Leone such as "Blood Diamond," La Amistad but all of them have been about how we have butchered each other or how we were dehumanized through slavery. I say thank you to the movie makers. It is our turn to make a favorable impact on peoples of the International Community to let them know that our nation is not just about wars and slavery but there is much, much more. Our Tourism, our virgin lands, our tropical system, our fishing industry, our educational system, our resources: both human and natural must be made know to them, a way of encouraging them to invest in our countries, to encourage our people to embark on inventions, as I am certain we have people who can do just that. This might seem far fetched but that is the virtual reality, a dream, like most other dreams that have come true. But the trials and tribulations our people have faced or have to endure have made it virtually impossible to do that. The representations of leadership have not been a visionary one, which has stampeded the possibility of even dreaming. Do we need to sit and brood over spilled milk or do we need to use the services that avail us to make the necessary changes that will lead us to achieving these dreams? The latter appear to be the most reasonable one and we must embark on it now.
It is in that light, though I seem hard at times yet, I believe that it being the harsh reality, I have no alternative but to deliver it as it should be; knowing that we as a nation have been disgraced.
By and large, I cannot leave without saluting the proprietors of this forum and encourage them to open their eyes to see what other nations are doing in the Diaspora and how that has benefited their countries. Anyone comparing him or herself to Bambay Kamara must have lost sight of his or her purpose in life or purpose of coming to the First World, especially the Capitalistic Democracies, to know how much they are missing and how our country is missing from such negligence.
Posting of the Forbes Magazine showing India and the developments made there should serve a lesson. Proving that the only way they can achieve that is by paying attention to what goes on in the world, a global village, where the global economy is taking a new dimension, and by living in a resolutely peaceful nation that believes in their nation, where democracy is practiced with visionary leaders ahead of the game and the determination of the governed to change their lives for the better. We have been left out. Settling for mediocre achievements cannot do it for Africa. To advance, our nation should be the utmost priority for you, all Sierra Leoneans and I. We did not come here on the same flight nor did we come here at the same time. Therefore, looking at a Sierra Leonean as your yardstick or competitor is waste in itself.
With that in mind, I say to you and all, whatever it takes to fill that jar must be utilized to the fullest potential and integrity being our guide.
Being fully confident that is what you are about, I salute you.
Once again, I thank you and tata!

About the assaination attempt on Ernest ( I've only read the headlines)
This is UGLY – and the world which came to our aid when our country was being mutilated, when we were mired in poverty, death and destruction is watching every step of the way to Election Day. The US embassy and the UK High Commission in Freetown are not idle. We are more than 65 % dependent on foreign aid, on a monthly basis to survive as nation, no matter what the pre-election propaganda. Now that corrupt political class (not all of them) wants to cling on to power because it’s lucrative, and the fastest rise from rags to riches do not want to stop at anything to cling on to this POWER?
WHITHER SIERRA LEONE?
Enough is enough!
They bombed Freetown to bring Kabbah back to power. Now the powers that be – the SLPP –their police and army, are going out of their way to provoke violence and give the impression that lawlessness will destabilise the country and probably disrupt the election – if they note that the elections are going bad for them. They should stop this nonsense.
First an assassination attempt on the leader of the opposition PMDC Hon Charles Margai.
Then an assassination attempt on the leader of the opposition APC Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma
Is this cheap talk of the president preaching about this nation’s SEVEN NATIONAL VALUES that he has proposed? Where is compassion for the poor when he sells off the Libyan rice that was meant for the most needy?
He proposed these values:
• Resourcefulness
• Excellence
• Tolerance
• Good neighbourliness
• Generosity
• Honesty
• Self-esteem
I have not yet read the details about the attempt on the life of Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma, and I am now on this day of Erev Tisha Beav, feeling that if a hair of the head of Ernest Bai Koroma is harmed, that the great Bai Bureh incarnate and that I join his army to wreak havoc and utter destruction of the demons and some of the solemn jackasses in the SLPP, who will be held responsible – and as a result of which they will not be in power in the near future. To Chez Winakabs I say, that it would not be an unrebuttable item that would cause disaster to the SLPP, but a cluster bomb package of such items that would completely torpedo their boat and 69 year old Berewa had better forget about the presidency he is dreaming about, even if he prays in CKC or St. Anthony’s or Fullah tong mosque – should he harm a hair of Ernest Bai Koroma’s head. That assurance does not come from me, but from real power, of which I myself do not have any.
Whilst they have been wheedling, dealing and reaping, others have been keeping an account.
That’s’ how the world is run.
Yes,
Bamabay Lans Kamara,
Thank you and thank you, for communicating such understanding to us all – and what you say is true.
Unlike a fool like Richard Dawkins, we believe in God yes, and Psalm 14 begins with the words
“1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart: 'There is no G-d'; they have dealt corruptly, they have done abominably; there is none that doeth good.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/Psalms14.html
About the Rev Kabs Kanu, you say, “He is a changed man himself. He has learned the art of true democracy. Though there is room for improvement.” Well, I don’t know what he was like before he “changed” but I have noticed that some people have criticized him saying that he is partisan, that he is APC – and to that I say, that he has aright to be APC - although as they can all see he has been featuring some of the downright ridiculous that usually issues from the pen of the one who calls himself Sia Tiyaama, perhaps in the name of neutrality. There are party papers in the world of advanced democracy; there is difference and distinction between the left and right, between Labour and Likud, a chasm between The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Chronicle.
Rev. Kanu has a right to be wholly APC if he so wants to be, but he tries to maintain or at least give some semblance of balance…….in the name of democracy…….yes, there is room for improvement for all of us, including Mr. Kabbah and Mr. Berewa and with a concerted effort of all those in Sierra Leone and Diaspora, Sierra Leone can be lifted. The dual –citizenship that was recently granted is a great step in that direction. Next step: encourage greater participation , especially by Diaspora Sierra Leoneans – there is tremendous qualified manpower and creative talent that you never hear about in this or any other Forum – some people have simply abdicated others will never return to a capital that lacks all that we had in 1967 – 24 hours electricity, the purest Guma Valley water running in the taps night and day, an excellent and functioning educational system, the rule of law and a Judiciary that was perhaps second to none in all Africa, a debt-free economy.
That state of the country is not to be credited to any political party, but was part of the residual effect of 150 years of Sierra Leone’s gradual evolution from colony – from Athens of West Africa, etc all that developed infrastructure that we inherited at Independence which was granted less than a year after Nigeria became Independent. Unfortunately the SLPP was in too great a haste to “Africanise” – and to take over the accommodation, offices, vehicles and to a great extent surpass the life styles of the Colonial Brits who were rather austere in their life styles – (o.K. country club, tennis and golf, but nowhere did I see conspicuous consumption and I know because I was in the midst of it, and I saw, with my own eyes.
You write:” It is our turn to make a favorable impact on peoples of the International Community to let them know that our nation is not just about wars and slavery but there is much, much more.”
This also applies to our young poets and storytellers. Of course there is a genre called Witness Literature.
Dennis Walder’s ”Literature in the Modern World ” ( Oxford University Press) contains a section by Theodor Adorno on witness literature – which is about bearing witness to atrocities through literary writing – and the language of such writing – since some of the language can be associated or ” contaminated” by usage in connection with other histories of atrocities......
Seems to me that the Civil War 1991-2002 – has become and been the main theme, if not the exclusive subject of our fiction writers – and also those who write history. Gone are the days of ”Kossoh Town Boy” or ” The Last Harmattan of Alusine Dunbar." and as you say,
: ” It is our turn to make a favorable impact on peoples of the International Community to let them know that our nation is not just about wars and slavery but there is much, much more.”
You mention “purpose in life or purpose of coming to the First World,” and “Posting of the Forbes Magazine showing India and the developments made there should serve a lesson”
Indeed, there is a lot that we can learn from India – where as far as purpose of life is concerned people aim at MOKSHA or at least try to do good works, improve their Karma , to gain a better incarnation in the next life. We can learn from other examples and this should interest us:

“In fact, there was a contributor on that show who joined this forum but has since departed and has not contributed after the example he saw demonstrated by Sierra Leoneans against a fellow Sierra Leonean.” That’s an example of SINAT CHINAM- and we are still here because we are mortal and we still want to be here.
Imagine if that sinat chinam we observe in Sierra Leone could be replaced by a national ethic with the following ingredients:

My boss, this is not true:
"Is this cheap talk of the president preaching about this nation’s SEVEN NATIONAL VALUES that he has proposed? Where is compassion for the poor when he sells off the Libyan rice that was meant for the most needy? "
ernest and all were in the know about the plan to create an outfit that will help solved some of our problems, i.e. the provision of resources for low income earners and those that have lost employment. Ernest was the chair of that NASSIT committee.
Please find out - their lies are too much - but i blame our present leaders - my little wisdom will not allow detractors to prevail over me. i am always a step ahead of them. kabbah's myopia is the cause of all these troubles - I do not know what was wrong with the man - he had the opportunity to have listened and shut the bickerings of the opoositions but he did not. We gaced with a battle we will win but we have to demonstrate to the people that as humans we are prone to make mistakes. Only exceptional individuals have very good judgements - kabbah is not one of them.

Culled from Awareness Times
APC displease with UN Radio
Reports state that the All Peoples Congress (APC) party is very angry with the United Nation Radio operating in Sierra Leone over what they termed as biased broadcasting against the APC party. The Spokesman of the APC party, Alhaji Alpha Kanu expressed disappointment over the UN Radio in its programme ‘election special’ last Friday. Alhaji Kanu noted that the presenters described the APC procession to launch their manifesto as a rally. Alhaji Kanu is quoted as saying, ‘the UN media is shamefully putting up an attempt to justify the failed SLPP regime.’

When the playing field is tilted against any of the political parties, we should not mince words but say it as it is. Mr. Kanu had the right to castigate the biased radio station for biased commentary, especially when it is UN sponsored, with national contributions. If we have used UN resources to pay consultants to write a manifesto, then that should be enough. The UN radio should not be used as an SLPP mouthpiece.
This propping up of a corrupt SLPP government in the 21st century and likening its performance to the the performance of the same batch of corrupt politicians who played the game under the APC should stop.

My Attorney
After living what I felt was a "decent" life, my time on earth came to the
end. The first thing I remember is sitting on a bench in the waiting room of
what I thought to be a courthouse. The doors opened and I was instructed to
come in and have a seat by the defense table.
As I looked around I saw the "prosecutor." He was a villainous looking gent
who snarled as he stared at me. He definitely was the most evil person I
have ever seen. I sat down and looked to my left and there sat My Attorney,
a kind and gentle looking man whose appearance seemed so familiar to me, I
felt I knew Him.
The corner door flew open and there appeared the Judge in full flowing
robes. He commanded an awesome presence as He moved across the room. I
couldn't take my eyes off of Him. As He took His seat behind the bench, He
said, "Let us begin."
The prosecutor rose and said, "My name is Satan and I am here to show you
why this man belongs in hell." He proceeded to tell of lies I told, things I
stole, and in the past when I cheated others. Satan told of other horrible
perversions once in my life and the more he spoke, the further down in my
seat I sank. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't look at anyone, even my own
Attorney, as the Devil told of sins even I had completely forgotten about.
As upset as I was at Satan for telling all these things about me, I was
equally upset at My Attorney who sat there silently not offering any form of
defense at all. I know I was guilty of those things, but I did some good in
my life - couldn't that at least equal out part of the harm I'd done?
Satan finished with a fury and said, "This man belongs in hell, he is guilty
of all I have charged and there is not a person who can prove otherwise."
When it was His turn, My Attorney first asked if He might approach the
bench. The Judge allowed this over the strong objection of Satan, and
beckoned Him to come forward. As He got up and started walking, I was able
to see Him in His full splendor and majesty. I realized why He seemed so
familiar; this was Jesus representing me, my Lord and my Savior.
He stopped at the bench and softly said to the Judge, "Hi, Dad," then He
turned to address the court. "Satan was correct in saying this man sinned, I
won't deny any of these allegations. And, yes, the wage of sin is death, and
this man deserves to be punished."
Jesus took a deep breath and turned to His Father with outstretched arms and
proclaimed, "However, I died on the cross so this person might have eternal
life and he accepted Me as his Savior, so he is Mine."
My Lord continued with, "His name is written in the Book of Life and no one
can snatch him from Me. Satan still does not understand yet. This man is not
to be given justice, but rather mercy."
As Jesus sat down, He quietly paused, looked at His Father and said,"There
is nothing else that needs to be done. I've done it all."
The Judge lifted His mighty hand and slammed the gavel down. The following
words bellowed from His lips... "This man is free The penalty for him was
already paid in full. Case dismissed"
As my Lord led me away, I could hear Satan ranting and raving, "I won't give
up, I will win the next one."
I asked Jesus as He gave me my instructions where to go next, "Have you ever
lost a case?" Chris t lovingly smiled and said, "Everyone that comes to Me
and asked Me to represent them, received the same verdict as you, "PAID IN
FULL."
If you do not pass this along to 15 people immediately, absolutely nothing
will happen.
Passing this on to anyone you consider a friend, (as I have done here), will
bless you both.

Alleged Child Rapist Goes Free Because Court Can't Find Interpreter
Sunday, July 22, 2007
E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
ROCKVILLE, Md. — Charges against a man accused of repeatedly raping and molesting a 7-year-old girl were dismissed last week because the court could not find an interpreter fluent in the suspect's native West African language.
Mahamu Kanneh, a Liberian native who received asylum in this country and attended high school and community college here, according to The Washington Post, was denied a speedy trial after three years awaiting a court-appointed interpreter who could speak the tribal language of Vai.
Click here to read The Washington Post article.
A court-ordered psychiatrist determined that Kanneh, despite his functional facility with English — he originally spoke with detectives in English, The Post reports, needed to have Vai spoken in order to understand the proceedings against him.
Loretta Knight, a clerk with the court system in Montgomery County, Md., said she had been unable to find an interpreter to stay on the case, even after an exhaustive search that included the Liberian Embassy and courts in 47 states.
Judge Katherine Savage called her decision to dismiss the charges one of the most difficult she's had to make in a long time, especially since she was aware of "the gravity of this case and the community's concern about offenses of this type."

Prosecutors can't refile the charges but are considering whether to appeal the judge's ruling for the dismissal.
FOX News spoke with a man who claimed to be Kanneh in a five-minute phone conversation on Sunday in English. He said the allegations against him were false and the dismissal of the charges was "a good thing." Asked if the accusations were true, he responded, "I said what I had to say" and hung up.
The Washington Post wrote in its article that in just one night reporters were independently able to identify three Vai translators available to assist in the case. It noted that the need for interpreters has risen starkly in Montgomery County, Md., with the court system spending $1 million in interpreters in 2006, or 10 times the amount it spent in 2000.
According to witnesses who originally reported the case to authorities, Kanneh allegedly repeatedly raped and sexually molested the girl, a relative. In a statement made by the girl to police, she said she had been told she'd be forced to stay in the apartment unless she had sex with Kanneh.
FOX News' James Rosen and Serafin Gomez contributed to this report.

My birthday is on the 26 July. Would I expect a present by way of a diction or Polanyi's question of words and meanings? I take it, i will get one inthe post - no hard feelings. As I am not perfect I quest for knowledge, wisdom and understanding. My addressis. Chez Winakabs, PO Box 135, London SE8 4PR. No bomb letters please as Royal Mail will detect them before I lay my hands on my mail. Good night my compatriot - just do not forget my birthday present that will improve me to benefit your craving for proficiency in me speaking proficiently Her Majesty's English. Did you know I met her in Durham in May 1992 and she asked me where I was from. I told her I was from Sierra Leone. She said, "No, I don't mean there but what part of the UK are you from?" I felt embarrased as the reporters covering the event thought she made the mistake and not me. we all leave to learn.

Things are difficult n Sierra leone - this does not mean that much has not improved. We cannot repair a system that collapse during a 24+ yrs of corrupt leaders in a ten year rule dampened by a fragile peace. we can come out of this if you will only trust my judgement of believing that Solo B can, through our prayers and God's divine guidance, give us a more healthier society in every facet of social and economic prosperity.
I cannot blame some of our people for wanting more. I was a part of the populace that was angry with the corrupt practices of the all inclusive administration headed by Kabbah. It is now my decisive moment to pick out the best among the prospective candidates and to that I say, Solo B. The others are inexperienced and untested characters whose divisive nature makes me not trust them. They are not the material to even give us a headstart.

Is this a joke? Trust your judgment? Don't make me luagh!
Who would trust the judgment of someone who has admitted running away from Sierra Leone while urging his relatives he left behind to stay for continuity of their suffering under the very same Berewa who, together with his mentor, caused the greatest suffering ever seen in Sierra Leone?
Who would trust the judgment of someone like you who dishonestly conceals the fact that during the past 10 years of Kabbah's rulew, with Berewa as his co-architect of Sierra Leoneans' suffering, the trwo corrupt SLPP leaders have recived more foreign aid than all the their predecessors' combined?
Tell me, who would trust the judgment of such a dishonest, dumb, unpatritoic person like you who wants to continue the suffering of Sierra Leoneans beyond the worst 10-year period of misrule in the history of our country m-- Kabbah's regime of which Berewa is a key part?
Your judgment is not worth the name. It is fit only for the dustbin, where Berewa will fittingly end up, God willing, thanks to the stand by the people of Sierra Leone, hopefully, to say: Enough is enough to the most corrupt regime in Sierra Leone's history -- Kabbah's and Berewa's SLPP.

Solo B is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of the two other presidential contestants. In grandeur of manner, splendour of bearing and magnanimity of personality, Solo B is the monarch among the current presidential line up. Solo B is very ambitious, a prerequisite for leadership; he is full of courage; his dominance in everything he has done is unquestionable; let alone his irrefutable strong will. Solo b is a positive character of immense potentials yet seen. Solo B’s independence is yet to be seen by many but others who have known him far back will attest that he is a self-made man. His self-confidence towers above all his contemporaries, there is no such a word as doubt in Solo B’s vocabulary. Another unique quality about Solo B’s character is his self-control mechanism, unchallengeable. On the whole Solo b is a power for good, for he is strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. We never have, for now, anything better than Solo B. Solo b will nurture a legacy of well intelligently developed young minds in pursuit of better Sierra Leone tomorrow. Solo B is too much for us and I am Flabbergasted with his powerful brilliance. Solo B really took advantage of our nation’s nurture.

Is that the new definition of sleeping (at official meetings)? LOL Because we all know that is what Berewa does that the other candidates don't do, probably because they sleep at night.
As for your other boto-bata praise singing about the dumb Berewa, is this the same Berewa whom, as Attornry General, even the RUF riff-raff ran rings around at the Lome Convention?
I can only hope that you will wake up from your deep sleep. When you do you may realize that Berewa is the dumbest, most murderous misfit ever to be attorney general in Sierra Leone. And this is the dumbo you think should be president of Salone!
I don't mean to cuss you, but try say talk me. You don't have any love for your country. That is if Sierra Leone is even your country, seeing that you ran away from it and left your poor relatives to suffer under various regimes, including the very corrupt SLPP you now selfishly praise-sing.

I do not want to incriminate myself but I have helped transformed three quarters of my relatives and family. the other quarter, I tried but luck was not on their side. Do not say I do not love my country. I do not like to brag about my life - THE TIGER DOES NOT GO ABOUT PRCLAIMING HIS TIGRITUDE. I did not leave my family to "suffer under various regimes...", I left Sierra leone with only six thousand leones and no passport for I believed then the world was every human's. I arrived in Gibraltar in 1989 and was given a british passport with an inscr1ption on the observation page (4) that read "...BY ARRANGEMENT WITH THE GOVERNMENT OF SIERRA LEONE...". SLPP, we really suffer under the regime you believe will prepare young minds to run an effective government of Sierra leone tomorrow. Do you know why we still have our elders running things and not take a back seat to watch their young minds prepare for the next generation? The APC created the vacuum. Let us be honest with ourselves and put Sierra leone above all else. I am supporting Berewa because i believe his dogged determination to succeed has paid off and believe every Sierra Leonean will want to benefit from his towering natural intelligence. I am a bit disappointed with kabbah; the choice of Solo B is one good thing i will ever be grateful for. I was scared that Solo b was been set up and got so worried one night that i called a close friend and told him that Kabbah will betray Solo b. the friend got worried and spoke to a family member of Solo b for solo b to reject Kabba's offer. Let us not worry ourselves too much, all has been decided - judgement day is just around the corner. I will make it my pride to campaign for cohesiveness. No winners takes it all - we are all one people under one nation. You have what it takes Solo B's administration will not leave you stranded. You do not have what it takes, Solo B's administration will endeavour to equip you.
I am not a blind supporter, I am confidentr of the man, Solo B.

Chez, you asked me on which side I'm on? Well I'm on the side of truth in politics. I'm on the side of patriotic leaders who seek power to better the lot of all Sierra Leoneans, and not because they feel a sense of entitlement to rule. I am on the side of politicians who acknowledge their past mistakes and are ready to give us an actionable agenda for growth, development and social justice. I am definitely against policicians and their intellectual henchmen who insult us with empty slogans. I am definitely against tribal politics. As far as the ptrsent crop of politicians is concerned, their has been more bombast and smoke than enlightment coming from their manifestos and their supporters on this forum. So I am going by their record in power. And brother Chez, Solo's record is as horrible and pathetic as a child's hungry stomach in a Fretown blackout. Right now I am considering Charles Margai and Ernest Koroma.

Earnest Koroma, I can assure you, has no political record that can be castigated or has served to destroy Sierra Leone. This is the problem I have with the current S.L.P.P. Each time one talks about the politics of Sierra Leone, their excuse will be Siaka Stevens. But Siaka Stevens' era was tainted when he brought all parties under one umbrella, gave positions, even Vice Presidential positions to one-time S.L.P.P. members. I am not condoning a One Party System but why didn't they object when he invited them in to serve? That is lack of discipline in politics. His motive was to consolidate the country. This was a formidable tactic whereby, our country was peaceful. But it served the A.P.C. wrongly whereby, most, not all other party members, captivated on this opportunity derogatorily by undermining the A.P.C. It was the time we saw problems cropping-up in Sierra Leone. Even when Shaki's regime brought the Voucher Gate to kick corruption off of our Civil Service, we saw a backlash.
See a paradox that would make you say hmmm. Momoh brought in multi-party they kicked him out of office.
In the current election, we have never heard of the A.P.C. getting into fights, we have never heard that the Hon. Earnest Koroma got into it with neither Margai nor Berewa. Don't that tell you that he is a mature politician?
We do not have to lord these people as most of us are doing. What is best for our country is what we should work hard to achieve. One has never heard anything bad politically, about Earnest Koroma. He has never meddled in the rotten politics we are talking about today. Berewa has a record and it is not pretty. It is that record we have to carefully examine to see if he is fit and not.What would one say about Earnest's record? Why not ask Hon. Berewa to rest and give those who do not have records, bad ones, as he does, and have not created enemies to give us a fresh start? It is wise we examine, considering their record on the war, the advices they received and acted upon them, the fact that the war was between them and the RUF, if they were not one and the same, the support they have received from the International Community who are not impressed about their bad behaviour, corrupt behaviour and manipulative behaviour to see who can replace them. If a man has lived in Sierra Leone all these years and does not have a bad record, I see no reason why not give him a try. We already know what Berewa and co are capable of. We have seen Earnest Koroma develop an institution that is still thriving and has made several contributions towards Sierra Leone's peace and security. Give him a try you will see.
I am tired of seeing Hon. Berewa and the S.L.P.P. disgrace themselves to the International Community. Most of you have not heard but I know what disgrace they are in. I am ashamed for them because their reasoning has failed them over the years; and when reasoning fails you, its best to quit because it does not fit.

Idriss Kamara) came to New Jersey to expand his business and brought me a plastic bag of big kuta and other big fishes that he supplies"
2. That 'Lt. Col.(Rtd)' Rev. Kabs Kanu in the same posting wrote "Wey me wef was dat (presumably the kuta or the other big fishes) pan cassava leaves..."
The team shall determine whether 'Lt.Col. Rtd' Rev. Kabs Kanu is really enjoying being a beneficiary of "Advantanges" and/or "free lunches".
(Author's comment: Hmmm. Beware 'Lt. Col. Rtd'. Rev. Kabs Kanu. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.)
3."People have committed worse atrocities, not olny in Sierra Leone, but the world over, but I don't see some of you bothering them than you do to these young men...give them a break". So wrote 'Lt. Col. Rtd' Rev. Kabs Kanu in a related posting dated 21/07/2007 and timed at 14:14:54
The investigation panel shall determine the following:
(a) Is 'Lt. Col. Rtd'. Rev. Kabs Kanu glorifying thuggery, buthchery, gangsterism etc.
(b) Is 'Lt. Col.Rtd'Rev. Kabs Kanu getting close to the unofficial dictionary definiton of a "Brown Envelope" Journalist or is he the new found publicity chief of Sojas..Ah! Ah! Ah!
(Author's comment: The Rt. Rev. 'Lt. Col. Rtd' Kabs Kanu knows fully well that all over the world, all those who perpetrated crimes against humanity are being vigorously persecuted. So it is not only peculiar to...should I say his new masters...any way the investigation will determine that)
HIGH COMMANDS NOTICE:
WHILST THE INVESTIGATIONS IS ON GOING, 'LT. COL. RTD' REV. KABS KANU HAS THE RIGHTS TO REMAIN SILENCE. ANYTHING HE SAYS SHALL BE USED AGAINST HIM IN A COURT OF LAW. HIS COUNSEL WILL BRIEF HIM ACCORDINGLY

When I read the recent alarmist fulmination of Sia Tiyaama against his nemesis, the APC's Ernest Koroma, I laughed so hard at his ingenuousness that tears streamed from my eyes. These are desperate times for the SLPP as citizens are scrutinizing the wretchedness of their economic lives and directing threatening glares at Berewa and Co. I am sure that the SLPP's own internal polling shows that the people are in a foul mood and blame them for the corrupt economy that has Sierra Leone lodged at the bottom of every economic indicator since the Triassic. The people are baying for electoral blood. So what does the SLPP do? Instead of offering concrete solutions to the nation's travails, Sia Tiyaama dug up SLPP's favorite bogeyman Siaka Stevens from his grave to scare us and deflect blame from themselves. Essentially, this is Tiyamaa's comic ruse:" You think SLPP ruined the economy? Gee, Siaka Stevens ruined it more. You think SLPP is bad? You haven't seen anything yet. Wait till you make the mistake of voting for Siaka Stevens trained thugs like Ernest Koroma. Then you will really have a nightmare."
Enough already. Siaka Stevens has been dead for donkey years. Stop hiding behind his gravestone.
What really tickled my funny bone is an article about alleged APC violence, penned by Sia Tiyaama. Apparently an SLPP supporter was stabbed recently in Freetown and that set Mr. Tiyaama into a ragefest about APC violence and a conspiracy theory about Ernest Koroma drugging up young men and training them to be thugs so as to terrorize Sierra Leoneans. As usual, he did not offer a scintilla of evidence. At the time of the stabbing incident in Freetown, Sierra Leone's ambassador to Liberia, an SLPP supporter, took out his gun from his holster and popped off a few shots in Kailahun, in the presence of Charles Margai, a major presidential candidate. Did the incomparable Sia Tiyaama mention that act of reprehensible violence? Nope. Did the SLPP condemn Ambassador Rambo? Don't hold your breath. Then Sia Tiyaama twirled logic on its head by declaring that this SLPP government should have a "monopoly of legal violence" and should use "an iron fist" against the APC. Incredible. Mr. Tiyaama, in condemning APC violence, is advocating SLPP violence in dealing with its enemies. And he is endorsing Siaka Stevens tactics to accomplish this. This is hilarious. Sia Tiyaama, please keep posting. You provide political comic relief.

What’s the late debate going to be like on 5th August? Is it going to happen at all? Are they ready?
Is Mr. Berewa ready for the two-pronged attack that will be coming from Field –Marshall Margai’s heavy artillery and Air Vice-Marshal Ernest Bai Koroma’s ARIEL BOMBARDMENT vicious uppercuts on corruption?
Well, it’s easy to attack, but how do the three intend to provide jobs for the jobless?

The recent attempted coup by Retired Gen. Charles Julu in Liberian points to the vulnerability faced by fledging democracies in Liberia and Sierra Leone from their ex-military generals. Very recently we have seen Ex General and former Head of State Julius Maada Bio begining to show substantial interest in the affairs of State and the question that comes to mind is would he attempt a Jeery Rawlings style comeback?
He vied for the leadership of the SLPP which he lost and is now overshadowing Berewah in his presidential bid. Rumours had it that he was a likely candidate for appointment as Sierra Leone's ambassador to Washington, a position he considered inferior, having served as Head of State.
Bio is now about 43 years old, old enough to aspire for the presidency. With a graduate degree in political science and some cash to spend, Bio might just be putting a face to his come back by helping the Berewa election bid. What may trigger a Bio comeback is not clear, but continued corruption under a Berewa led government might just be enough justification for Bio to attempt toppling the democratic government. Dont forget he mastered minded a palace coup that saw Valentine Strasser bundled off to Conakry. The Ex-general is no longer a member of the armed forces, and may not have any serious following in the army. However, he has the likes of John Benjamin and John Karimu to rely on, and a large unemployed youth population, some of whom were combatants during the nation's civil war, and who would sympathise with a call for a revolution that would give back "power to the people" .
He has already made intimidating statement in a panel discussion on FM 98.1 radio that "if the opposition All People`s Congress Party (APC) wins the 2007 presidential elections and introduced the same bad governance before it was overthrown by the National Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) junta in 1992, I will overthrow that government".
This should be a wake up call to the SLPP, PMDC and the APC, that somebody is watching you and no matter which party wins, we should not let the khaki boys gain the prominence they are craving for.

Maada Bio who is now a political science graduate, may be filthy rich, but will not try any such foolishness by putting the theory that he debunked in the classroom, into practice - against his better knowledge/ better judgment.
Indeed whatever arguments he could drum up, could also be used as a justification of e.g. Johnny Paul Koroma – wanting to topple any edifice of corruption, or pre-empting the formation of such an edifice of corruption.
That is why for now we had better concentrate on the ballot and not bullets, must concentrate on the presidential and parliamentary elections due to take place three Sabbaths from now, on Saturday 11th August.
Both Bio and friends know that a coup would be unacceptable and he and his friends risk the same punishment that met the 24 during Mr. Kabbah’s tenure - you know the twenty four?
If someone declared a “ coup” in Jamaica, people would just laugh. Such a thing cannot happen and Maada Bio should be taken to task by his political bosses of the echelon to which he belongs, for ventilating such thoughts as “ If the APC win, he will “do” a coup” If he does a coup, then the Guillotine should do him.
That time is past.

I take the opportunity to fully correct my earlier mistakes and to include your precious Forbes information at the very bottom of the page.
National Values: Who would like to be KING of Sierra Leone?
The answer to that question? Not prince Charles Francis. Not so sure about Johnny Leigh though. Probably the most arrogant one who might think that he is “the most qualified” - (how many PhDs and how exalted the lineage?) although it’s doubtful that he would include humility among his qualifications – such a one would want to be “above” as king. Or someone from among the most lowly of san san boys, to which category I belong – but I must confess that I myself would not like to be king of Sierra Leone, either now or any time soon in the future.
So far, none of the front runners for the highest authority in the land have declared their assets. Umaru Yar’adua the Nigerian president has set the bright example for all Africa: by declaring his assets, even prior to taking office. Bravo!
Consider this:
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/mar2007/bill-m10.shtml
In the meantime, some of the poorest Johnnies, would like to be crowned (and anointed) King of - as my Moroccan friend Muhammad sometimes teases me, of “Israeleone” (I tell him that Israel is known for her Twelve Tribes – and that Sierra Leone has 14 tribes and 26 dialects – and few apart from a some people like the late Esther Pinkney – speak Hebrew – although apparently she spoke it mostly “in tongues”)
I wonder how we would go about setting up a monarchy in Sierra Leone. Would the Mendes and the Temnes ever agree to have a Limba – a descendant of one of the noble Limba families who we know are the oldest inhabitants of Sierra Leone, as their King?
In my next posting I will give some reasons why among the vice presidential candidates I would vote for Alhaji Momodou Koroma who is presently also Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation and I’d like to explain why if the running mates were vying for the presidency, (were presidential candidates instead of running mates) why I would give Alhaji Koroma my vote.

In Stockholm, the fast of Tisha Beav begins on Monday night , the 8th of Av at 21.08 and ends on the night of the saddest day in the Jewish calendar , this year 5767, on Tuesday night at 2210……..
Tisha Beav commemorates the destruction of the First and Second Temple, in Jerusalem and the exile of the Jewish people from their Home which is Israel.
Therefore let me hasten to correct some misimpressions that I may have given when Chez Winakabs Europe had raised questions about Hon. Solomon Berewa and Hon Charles Margai’s very private and personal domestic affairs.
There is something of a Jewish “trinity” and it is “the Holy One Blessed Be He, the Torah, and Israel”. (Israel= the land and people of the Hebrew Faith)
When it comes to talking about NATIONAL VALUES, such values/ ethics derive from a source – could be cultural, or traditional in a Judaic or even from the Judeo-Christian religious sense or even from a mere mortal such as Aristotle……
In the Torah portion for the upcoming 4th Elul /18th August we will read in Devarim/ Deuteronomy 17: 14-20:
14 If, after you have entered the land that the Lord your God has assigned to you, and taken possession of it and settled in it, you decide, "I will set a king over me, as do all the nations about me," 15 you shall be free to set a king over yourself, one chosen by the Lord your God. Be sure to set as king over yourself one of your own people; you must not set a foreigner over you, one who is not your kinsman. 16 Moreover, he shall not keep many horses or send people back to Egypt to add to his horses, since the Lord has warned you, "You must not go back that way again." 17 And he shall not have many wives, lest his heart go astray; nor shall he amass silver and gold to excess.
18 When he is seated on his royal throne, he shall have a copy of this Teaching written for him on a scroll by the Levitical priests. 19 Let it remain with him and let him read in it all his life, so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God, to observe faithfully every word of this Teaching as well as these laws. 20 Thus he will not act haughtily toward his fellows or deviate from the Instruction to the right or to the left, to the end that he and his descendants may reign long in the midst of Israel. “
http://www.hebcal.com/sedrot/shoftim.html
So as far as wives etc are concerned we know that morality is very important and that our leaders have to be good examples. Abner Cohen and also Leo Spitzer (In “The Creoles of Sierra Leone” describes what - in spite of CMS breeding, has become entrenched custom and praxis among the Creoles, namely to have a wife at home (a bird in the hand) and a “sweetheart “or two “outside” (a few birds in the bush) and some of them will be raising their voices along with Chez, with so many fingers pointing back at them. History has consistently shown that uninhibited and uncontrolled immorality causes a nation to self-destruct…..
My Stone Chumash notes say that the King was “required to maintain the dignity of his office, but he had to curb his appetites and make himself an example of moderation and obedience to the Torah.”
The prohibition against him having too many horses and wives: “The king must have an adequate number of horses, he is permitted to have up to eighteen wives, and he surely must be wealthy enough to maintain his entourage, but he is forbidden from having too much. The Torah explains that a love of horseflesh would inevitably lead to a reliance on Egypt, and too many wives would turn his heart astray. APPARENTLY IT WAS NOT NECESSARY FOR THE TORAH TO GIVE A REASON FOR CAUTIONING AGAINST TOO MUCH MONEY. THE TEMPTATIONS OF EXCESS WEALTH ARE TOO WELL KNOWN.”
(Capital letters mine)
“THE SAGES USE THIS PASSAGE AS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF THE WISDOM OF THE TORAH. KING SOLOMON, ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL JEWS AND THE WISEST OF ALL MEN, VIOLATED THESE LIMITATIONS ON THE KING’S PREROGATIVES, CONFIDENT THAT HIS SUPERIOR WISDOM WOULD PROTECT HIM FROM THE PITFALLS SPECIFIED BY THESE VERSES. BUT HE ERRED. HIS LARGE STABLES DID BRING THE PEOPLE BACK TO EGYPT HIS MANY WIVES DID AFFECT HIM, AND HIS LARGE TREASURY WAS A CORRUPTING INFLUENCE , AND THE HEAVY TAXES IT NECESSITATED ED THE NATION TO BE SPLIT AFTER HIS DEATH.”
I would like to give a kind and compassionate review of Mr. Kabbah’s 181 paragraphs that delineate his achievements during his tenure of office. He is very cautious about admitting faults or short comings, or blaming anyone – or apologising for mistakes or short comings…….anyway, he always prays for the people of Sierra Leone, especially on Muslim and Christian Religious holidays…..as the Rev. Alfred Sam Foray will readily agree about himself too with this which is from St. Matthew:
“Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
If you could follow our teacher Moses and the children of Israel’s journeying through the wilderness for 40 years (by reading the Torah/ meditating on the Torah) you would understand how very difficult it is to be a leader.
In these weeks Torah Portion, this is Devarim/ Deuteronomy Chapter 1- chapter 3:22
We have Moses speaking these words: (Devarim/ Deuteronomy Chapter 1, 9-20)
“”9 Thereupon I said to you, "I cannot bear the burden of you by myself. 10 The Lord your God has multiplied you until you are today as numerous as the stars in the sky. — 11 May the Lord, the God of your fathers, increase your numbers a thousand fold, and bless you as He promised you. — 12 How can I bear unaided the trouble of you, and the burden, and the bickering! 13 Pick from each of your tribes men who are wise, discerning, and experienced, and I will appoint them as your heads." 14 You answered me and said, "What you propose to do is good." 15 So I took your tribal leaders, wise and experienced men, and appointed them heads over you: chiefs of thousands, chiefs of hundreds, chiefs of fifties, and chiefs of tens, and officials for your tribes. 16 I charged your magistrates at that time as follows, "Hear out your fellow men, and decide justly between any man and a fellow Israelite or a stranger. 17 You shall not be partial in judgment: hear out low and high alike. Fear no man, for judgment is God's. And any matter that is too difficult for you, you shall bring to me and I will hear it." 18 Thus I instructed you, at that time, about the various things that you should do.”

My dear countrymen and countrywomen, once more, I would like to draw your attention to SINAT CHINAM. This is one of the immediate causes of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and Sierra Leoneans too could learn a lesson from this and thus avoid the calamity that comes from SINAT CHINAM which is translated as baseless hatred epitomised by the historical incident of Kamtza and Bar- Kamtza :

16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as HaShem hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'
17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.
18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.
19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear HaShem his G-d, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.

12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Get you, from each one of your tribes, wise men, and understanding, and full of knowledge, and I will make them heads over you.'
14 And ye answered me, and said: 'The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.'
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying: 'Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of any man; for the judgment is G-d's; and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.'
My dear countrymen and countrywomen, once more, I would like to draw your attention to SINAT CHINAM. This is one of the immediate causes of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem and Sierra Leoneans too could learn a lesson from this and thus avoid the calamity that comes from SINAT CHINAM which is translated as baseless hatred.

THE presiding judge of the UN-backed special court for Sierra Leone, Justice Julia Sebutinde, has jailed three rebel militia commanders found guilty of murder, rape and enlisting child soldiers during the country's 10-year civil war.
Sebutinde on Thursday ordered that Alex Tamba Brima, 35, and Santigie Borbor Kanu, 42, be jailed for 50 years each, while Brima Bazzy Kamara, 39, was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Their sentences were the first ever handed down by the court, which is trying the main perpetrators of the war crimes committed during the west African country's 1991-2001 conflict.
Prosecutors had asked for between 50 and 60-year sentences for the men, who were found guilty of 11 of the 14 charges against them.
"The three men were found guilty of the most heinous, brutal and atrocious crimes in human history," said Sebutinde.
"Brothers were allowed to rape sisters, men were disembowelled and their parts displayed at check points. Cutting of limbs of unarmed civilians were common."
"Children were forcibly taken away from families, fed with drugs and turned into child soldiers," Sebutinde added.
The three men, who will serve their sentences in Sweden and Austria, belonged to the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), a rebel faction led by Johnny Paul Koroma.
The group toppled an elected government in 1997 and joined forces with the notorious main rebel Revolutionary United Front.
After deposing President Ahmad Tejan Kabbah in May 1997, the AFRC set up one of the most vicious juntas Africa has ever known.
While in office, the junta unleashed a nine-month terror campaign that included burning children to death, mutilating, looting and cold-blooded killings across Sierra Leone.
By the time the country's decade-long civil war ended in 2001, some 120,000 people had died and thousands were mutilated, with their arms, legs, ears or noses chopped off.
There were sighs of relief when the verdict was pronounced and some of the victims and amputees in the public gallery gave victory signs.
But relatives of the defendants, including one woman said to be Kanu's mother, burst into tears.
"It is such a long sentence. My child is now dead," she said refusing to give her name to reporters.
Salia Joseph, who had both hands hacked off described the verdict as "a remarkable victory for justice".
The three, who all pleaded not guilty, were backed by the former Liberian president, Charles Taylor.
Taylor is currently standing trial for similar crimes committed during the Sierra Leone civil war, but his trial venue was switched to The Hague amid concerns of unrest if it was held in Freetown.
He is the first African head of state to face such charges in an international court.
In a related development, Taylor got a new defence lawyer on Tuesday after he terminated the services of his former counsel Karim Khan.
His new counsel, Courtenay Griffiths, a Jamaican, is a leading barrister in the English criminal justice system.

Siaka Stevens street, named after a Sierra Leonean President: History, was renamed after:
"General Sani Abacha (Kano, 20 September 1943 – Abuja, 8 June 1998) was a Nigerian military leader and politician. He was the de facto President of Nigeria from 1993 to 1998.[1]
Abacha was a Muslim of Kanuri extraction. As a young man, he was trained at various Nigerian and British military colleges.[2] He joined the Nigerian military and had been promoted to brigadier by 1983.[2] He was instrumental in the two bloodless military coups d'état that brought and removed General Muhammadu Buhari from power in 1983 and 1985. When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was later appointed Minister of Defence in 1990.[3]
Abacha took over power from the caretaker government of Chief Ernest Shonekan, which was put into place by General Ibrahim Babangida after his annulment of the 12 June 1993 elections (won by Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola) caused a massive popular uproar. Abacha's government was accused of human rights abuses, especially after the hanging of Ogoni activist Ken Saro-Wiwa by the Auta tribunal (only one of several cases against Ogoni activists opposed to the exploitation of Nigerian land by multinational oil companies); Abiola and Olusegun Obasanjo were jailed for treason, and Wole Soyinka charged in abstentia with treason.[2] His regime suffered stiff opposition internally and externally by pro-democracy activists who made the regime unpopular, and responded by banning political activity in general and by controlling the press in particular; a significant fraction of the military was fired, and Abacha surrounded himself with approximately 3,000 armed men loyal to himself.[2] His foreign policy was inconsistent: he did not oppose and even supported the Economic Community of West African States when troops were sent to Liberia and Sierra Leone (to restore democracy).[2]
General Abacha died allegedly of a heart attack in June 1998 while at the presidential villa in Abuja. He was buried on the same day without an autopsy fueling speculation that he may have been poisoned by political rivals. He was 54. After his death, Maj. Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, Nigeria's defence chief of staff, was sworn in as the country's head of state. Abubakar had never before held public office and was quick to announce a transition to democratic civilian rule which led to the election of President Olusegun Obasanjo.[4]
Controversy
[edit] Corruption allegations
The government of Obasanjo has implicated the deceased general and his family in a wholesale looting of Nigeria's coffers. The extent of his venality seems to have surpassed even that of more notorious African rulers, such as the late Mobutu Sese Seko.
According to post-Abacha governmental sources, some $3[2] or $4 billion USD in foreign assets have been traced to Abacha, his family and their representatives, $2.1 billion of which the Nigerian government tentatively came to an agreement with the Abacha family to return, with the quid pro quo being that the Abachas would be allowed to keep the rest of the money. Although this proposal caused a massive outcry at the time for seeming to reward the theft of public funds, it was subsequently rejected by the late dictator's son, Mohammed Abacha, who continues to maintain that all the assets in question were legitimately acquired.[5] Although in 2002, Abacha's family accepted to return $1.2 billion that was taken from the central bank.[6] Abacha was listed as the world's fourth most corrupt leader in recent history by Transparency International in 2004.[7] Abacha had also literally laughed in the face of any possible sanctions by the United States against his government, arguing that the Americans would not do that on account that the oil companies are taking care of the Republicans and the Congressional Black Caucus takes care of the Democrats, and that all American blacks have a dual loyalty to African leaders. [8]
The names of Sani Abacha and his widow, Maryam,[9] are often used in 419 scams; he is “identified” in scam letters as the source for “money” that does not exist.[10]
General Abacha served during the controversial execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. On 10 November 1995, Saro-Wiwa was hanged by Abacha, resulting in the immediate suspension of Nigeria from the Commonwealth of Nations.[4]
[edit] His sudden death
Abacha died while in the company of two Indian prostitutes. Though the official cause of his death was a heart attack, according to a widely held belief amongst Nigerians and Western diplomats he overdosed on Viagra or Burantashi (a native Hausa-Fulani virility drug).[11][12]

Well, that was the guy who counseled your President to disband the Military of Sierra Leone, his potent oops! Did I say potent? technique. On the premise that he did it and succeeded so Mr. Presidant will succeed too. That military is institution that had been established since the Colonial era. It is base on that insolence that led to the massive killing of our people.
All the years I was talking about peace and posting the State House Web site were to encourage our people to hold-on. I was not doing it for Kabba nor Berewa but the people of Sierra Leone. I had read the situation carefully and knowing that they were hell-bent on holding-on to power no matter what, it would have been fatal to not give them the chance to prove themselves.
Let them leave as brothers so as to allow true democracy to operate. Allowing fresh bloods, young and vibrant people to rule, such as the Hon. Earnest Bai Koroma or Mr. Charles Margai whose hands are not soaked in blood and who have not created political enemies. Then we will say, we have a fresh start. Otherwise, we have a lo----------ng haul. Maada Bio and others did not help but implicate him, Berewa and Kabba further. Their presence will intense political hostilities and would never help to put the past behind us. Their presence has manifested that they were pushed by the S.L.P.P, Kabba and Berewa to overthrow Momoh, using Strasser, then kick him out and latter buy these guys whom they had promised to come abroad, study then return to Sierra Leone to join them, the big guns. It was all a strategy. Sankoh, Hon. Hinga Norman, Maada Bio and all of them were in the plot. It was an agenda to spill blood to intimidate the A.P.C. but then it escalated beyond their imagination. What corrupted the whole plan was when Paul Koroma took over to their amazement. That is what offset the whole plan. But God knows the truth.
While I was working at Charlottesville Virginia, as an Office Service Specialist, those who can remember, the Pa’s son, out of nowhere, came there to organized or attend to a birth day party, where he was video recording the occasion. He was constantly in my face with the camera. You guys know what that means. I asked myself, how can a President’s son come here to attend to a party for twelve people? One can imagine the type of people he would spend that time for but this group, I am not sure. I made sure I reported it on the AfricaOnline forum in 1998. You know how that story unfolded.
Berewa must follow the Pa. as he has blindly done for these years, so that we can get a fresh start. You cannot tell me that Earnest Koroma has had any fights with neither of them besides the fact that he believes in democratic practices. His conduct by not engaging in any word of words with neither the candidates is a manifestation that he is a modern political brain. If they start with fights, you know what the end will be.
Please do not fight. The British and Americans spell certain words differently. I use to have the same difficulties until I went to secondary school, where Peace corps helped me understand the difference. It was America's way of telling Britain "we are free and we want everything our way.” Some American also have problems understanding the concept except those who read widely or have attended British schools and colleges. You will also understand it while in Bachelors or Masters Programs in both American and British institutions.

Sierra Leone: Khaki Boys cause panic
Saturday 21 July 2007
Former Secretary of State East in the National Provisional Ruling Council, Tom Nyuma, is back in town after his deportation from the United States of America where he was staying with his family.
But Nyuma’s presence is causing a lot of fear in the minds of many people in the country who are bracing up for the August 11, 2007 Presidential and Parliamentary Elections.
The people’s fear is based on Nyuma’s presence, in recent times, in the entourage of the Vice President and Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) flagbearer, Solomon Berewa during his electioneering campaign tours.
Nyuma is not alone among the so-called Khaki Boys who are now with the Vice President.
Also, former NPRC Head Of State, Julius Maada Bio, has also been spotted in Berewa’s entourage during his campaign as well as Idrissa Kamara, commonly known here as Leather Boot.
Nyuma was greeted with thunderous applause at his home town of Kenema recently when he visited the township as part of Berewa’s campaign team.
Nyuma is an enigma in today’s Sierra Leone. Many people consider him a war hero while others, also numerous, say he is a military brute or sobel(soldier-rebel).
The local press here in Freetown have been questioning the Vice President as to the rationale behind Nyuma’s role especially against the background of the availability of state security.
The Standard Times Newspaper is one of the local newspapers that has been consistently monitoring the movements and actions of the former NPRC boss.
The African Champion carried a story recently calling on the state security apparatus to stop the Vice President from moving along with former NPRC soldiers some of whom are alleged to have committed humn rights abuses.
Quite recently, top military brass,during a press conference downplayed the issue when it was brought to their attention, saying the NPRC ex-soldiers have a right to belong whereever they wanted as Sierra Leoneans as long as they are not armed.
The Vanguard has not yet been able to talk to to Nyuma, Bio and Leather Boot as to their role in the Vice President’s entourage.
Bio contested some time ago against Berewa for the leadership of the SLPP and lost. Nyuma, it is said, has declared his support for the SLPP. It’s not clear whether Leather Boot has done the same.
The NPRC, led by Captain Valentine Strasser(photo) overthrew the APC in 1992. Strasser was later overthrown by Bio who handed over power to the SLPP after the 1996 elections.
The NPRC committed massive human rights abuses and pillaged the national treasury while it was in power. It was at first accepted but later massively rejected by civilians in all parts of the

Winston Kabbia,
you have just started crossing the line here. If you want to be personal then lets roll.Margai did not tell you on the pmdc website that he has a child with his cousin.BIG DEAL. Your God Solo B has a bastard child with a lady who use to live in kissy mess mess. Did he ever tell you about it? Did Kabba ever tell you how he got married to late Patricia Tucker who was married to an east African before she met Kabba. I know one of your top slpp agbagbas who had a calabash filled with blood in his bathroom. Now, let assume that the blood was from chickens. But please tell me why have it in a calabash in his bathtub. Hmmmmm borbor lef. You talk about integrity and you mention the name Solomon BEREWA. Please Winston do not even go there. Because i know of a female client of Solomon Berewa who was sent to an early grave because of the devious, corrupt, manipulative, greed and unprofessional behaviour of her lawyer Solomon Berewa. Had that happened in any civilised country Berewa would have been investigated and possibly barred from practising law. I will not go into details as mark of respect for the late woman ABIE. Solomon Berewa your God will deny it but lets wait till the end. In my life i have seen someone been accused of cannibalism which he flatly denied and got away with it because of his status in society. But when he was about to go and face the master, he started crying out words like that child! that child! i know who killed that child! u don see teday but you nor see tomarah yet. Honestly Winston you remind me of a man who abandoned his principles and become a bato liner for Shaki. And when his time was up he became a drunkard and a mad mad. His one time friend Shaki started poking fun at him by asking him if he was suffering from CHAKTIASIS or CRAISETIASIS. So my friend, slow down a bit. We know you want your own share of the GADDAFI'S rice. Your lies just don't add up. You said the apc introduced political victimisation in Sierra Leone. When your own uncle PC Bai Koblo was victimised and actually exiled from his Chiefdom by the Sir Milton slpp. You called your LORD Solomon Berewa a decent and God fearing man, when your cousin Alhaji Musa Kabbia was burnt alive under the watchful eyes of King Solomon because he Musa was on Berewas list as a JUNTA COLLABORATOR. You criticised hungry and angry youths for attacking a container full of rice. When you were once arrested for breaking into a rice store with a gang of hooligans. You said your family is non political, LIE! Was your auntie late Haja Dankay Kabia not an APC political activist. Who was Musa Kabbai in the APC government? Who was Bai Koblo in the slpp party? Man SHUT IT. Because even the yellibas do theirs with style. Yours is pure "FUCKRY" . Did your BEREWA tell us about his bastard child. Mind you this is a man who wanted to be a priest and pretends to be whiter than white. Man zip up or talk about real political issues. Some of your guys have children they dont even support with all their chap chap. Dont let me start throwing my mud because i have a lot that you may not want to see it stick. And don't give me that crap that you are not running for public office, the fact is your have made yourself an slpp surrogate so your integrity also comes into play. And i will really like to know how good you are in that department.

Momodu Koroma, who ever you are - have just demonstrated another character of desperate individual. Desperate to save the lack of an answer to a simple question - HOW MANY CHILDREN HAS MARGAI?
My mother is alive and kicking - she is not LATE ABIE.
Your socalled 'hooligans and I did not break into a rice store. Ckeck your facts! You are getting everything wrong.
My paternal granddad and my father were not partisan politicians.
I can see you are so angry that you believe I touched on an inhibited terrain. To me it is not! It was a very simple question to answer - i wanted to know if it was an ommission or a blatant error to conceal something. I am at liberty to trample on such isues - my credibility is not the issue here, it is that of your leader? What does this statement read "MARITAL STATUS: MARRIED (MRS. VIVAT MARGAI WITH TWO DAUGHTERS)? I still want to know if it is an omission or you are merely being economical with facts that has an inextricable linkage to your leader's credibility.
Regarding my life! it is an open book. I have never concealed anything I do. I am not perfect and can make errors of judgement that I am happy to won up to and accept the consequencies. I have nothing to hide. Everything i have done - Good or bad was done for a just cause and nothing else. I am blessed and I believe have a greater purpose for humanity. It is an opngoing process and I am happy to be a fearless lion. God is my only fear.
I am not in supporting Solo b because I want a job, I have multi-disciplinary qualifications and i am capable of getting a job in my country or anywhere. i do not need to support Solo b, because I want contracts. i have enough contracts from various countries as I speak and those did not come outas a result of 'batto line'. I am too stubborn to be anybody's man. How many of you who know me can stomach my openness. I hide nothing that is wrong and nothing that is good for the sake of a public effect. It has to be in the open.

There is a lot of pertinent issues to discuss rather than getting into minor issues.
As the saying goes nobody's discuss people, there is more talent in here for people to start discussing individual persons.
There is more to your country than all these bolocks.
It is of paramount importence that people in this debate start discussing how Sierra Leone will move forward.
Your Country has produced some of the best schollas who taught the likes of Chinua Achebe Wole Soyinka and Mandela.
For those of you who do not know Visit www.grahamstownuniversity.co.za See who was the history lecturer at Alice Uiversity where Mandela studied from.
Today I come in here all I see is people corupted by western ethics.
I have been following your debate for a long time and it all seems like you are all enemies towards each other; what is your goal?
The future of your country is all that matters. One of the commonest enemies of man today is discussing one another.
United you satnd divided you still are.
Enkosi Khakhulu (Thank you very much)
God bless your Land

Now I see! if I decide to support margai, I will not be reaping 'sierra leone's wealth'. My fellow, my support for Berewa has nothing to do with self-interests. my paramount interest is sierra leone and her people. berewa is the only one I truly believe is capable among the other prospective candidates. Solo B is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of the two other presidential contestants. In grandeur of manner, splendour of bearing and magnanimity of personality, Solo B is the monarch among the current presidential line up. Solo B is very ambitious, a prerequisite for leadership; he is full of courage; his dominance in everything he has done is unquestionable; let alone his irrefutable strong will. Solo b is a positive character of immense potentials yet seen. Solo B’s independence is yet to be seen by many but others who have known him far back will attest that he is a self-made man. His self-confidence towers above all his contemporaries, there is no such a word as doubt in Solo B’s vocabulary. Another unique quality about Solo B’s character is his self-control mechanism, unchallengeable. On the whole Solo b is a power for good, for he is strongly idealistic, humane, and beneficent. We never have, for now, anything better than Solo B. Solo b will nurture a legacy of well intelligently developed young minds in pursuit of better Sierra Leone tomorrow. Solo B is too much for us and I am Flabbergasted with his powerful brilliance. Solo B really took advantage of our nation’s nurture.
I will someday serve my country and no one can deny me that if I merit to do so. I will never reap my country off! I love sierra leone and my prayer everyday is to see a better and progressive nation.

Greetings my brothers and sisters. Mr. Shamsu Deen- Cole, let me once again thank you for at least responding. However, there is something I would like to disclose to you that you might not be thinking of in vouching for the S.L.P.P.
Sir, the opportunities that avail us today to exchange ideas have been a blessing in disguise. Had some of our school mates and college mates in Sierra Leone those opportunities, Sierra Leone would have been a better place. Sometimes I sit and say to myself, what if Askia had computers at Milton Margai in the eighties what would he do in Arts? How about Sir Junisa, Mathew Strasser in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Sir, denying our people electricity in the Communication Age is a big setback and an injustice of the worst form. Your children have friends who sleep under lamps, whose misfortune has a great impact on your children’s educational potentials because they can feel the pains of the less fortunate ones.
The purpose for which the government has denied us electricity is to conceal their misdeeds at the detriment of the people, and the detriment of the educational potentials of young and older Sierra Leoneans, including those Sierra Leoneans and non-Sierra Leoneans alike who would want to invest in computer-driven businesses. But the power that can drive these businesses have been curtailed or are non-existent because a certain group of people wish to keep their wrongful deeds under raps. In view of that therefore, let me admonish you to look before you leap.
Quoting your response from responses you received in your posting; “Disaster inside the APC Camp” posted: 17:34:44 07/19/07 , after lengthy discussions, in your follow-up response, posted on July 19, 2007 at 23:24:31 you wrote: “THOSE WHO CANNOT REMEMBER THE PAST, ARE CONDEMNED TO REPEAT IT.
I REST MY CASE.
NOW LET THE FOOLS SPEAKS, AND THE WISE GIVE NO ANSWER.” That Sir is not how democracy works. The purpose of communicating is to find the truth and resolution to a problem. We cannot resolve our problems by quitting because that is what is signified by your remarks above.
Sir, I am disappointed in that effort to buttress “your case.” We love Sierra Leone in variant ways but we love her all the same. We are looking forward to a system that will one day be proud to say, we are practicing democracy and we are glad we took that route by the fruits we expect of her to deliver or has delivered. However, the statement you made are insufficient in laying your case for the Berewa led S.L.P.P, as you claimed in your response to Dr. Yaya Fanusie, where-in you stated:” I have the right and intellect to use that statement as my premise to make my case,” which was in reference to Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma’s assertion that he will take Sierra Leone back to the Stevens and Momoh era.
In this effort, you made no case, and if you did it was not strong enough; otherwise, you would be prepared to defend it by bolstering it at any given time. In fact, you should have been energized to present factual supporting evidence, as a follow-up material to buttress these points. On the contrary, what you stated in the bold letters in your posting is indicative that you were not sure of what you were saying but thought that Sierra Leoneans are all incapacitated therefore, they can feed on any fabrications. I am sorry you misunderstood us that way.
In proceeding to examine some of your statements: You stated: “If the Americans, voted for Bush, Clinton,TWICE Because they believe in them,the British voted Toni Blair three times, I think I have the right to support and vote for my choice.” Mr. Cole, the key word there is “believe” in them. We could have let President Clinton rule or lead Sierra Leone until even if he was in the grave and so are the Blair and Bush because they can deliver. They would not feed on what is for the people of their countries. Their countries believed they can deliver the goods. Do we believe in our government or should we believe in them after what they have done, feeding on what is for the people?
It is in that precinct Sir, that I implore you to use your right and intellect wisely when choosing some one we can believe in. Do not let sentimentalism sway you to blocking the future of your children because they will blame you after you are dead and gone if not earlier than that. In choosing wisely please remember your children and their children. Remember the legacy you will live them and the future you will live them because falling starts with a miss-step and Berewa is that second or third step.
I would implore you not to go into history otherwise, we would come to find out that Sierra Leone made the biggest mistake in electing President Kabba to rule us because he was convicted for fraud at S.L.P.M.B. and was banned from participating in any Sierra Leonean politics. That is part of our history. Due to the fact that we did not remember the past, we are faced with the same problem of fraud aren’t we?
You further stated: “I am intelligent enough to look at the history of the APC party, to know what they did to my motherland IN THEIR 24 YEARS OF POWER.”
No Mr. Shamsu-deen Cole you know nothing about that and there is no way you can compare the current S.L.P.P. to the A.P.C’s 24 years of peaceful rule.
President Joseph Saidu Momoh was deposed in 1992 after returning Sierra Leone to multi-party rule but he did not forcefully try to fight his way back to power thereby, causing the killing of forty-seven thousand people and maiming about another ten to thirty thousand. He could have fought back the same way Berewa and Kabah did at the detriment of the people. He, President Momoh had the army at his disposal; they were loyal to him; weren’t they? What took us to peace were ideas initiated in 1996 but they, the S.L.P. did not go along with it. They refused because the wording “share power” was in the documents.
Mr. Cole, the S.LP.P, that is the current one, should have been in place to electrify the entire Sierra Leone, made the streets squeaky clean, improve Tourism, improve the educational system and many more. He asks why are you saying that. Mr. Cole, S.L.P.P. came at a time when the International Communities attention, that is both the governments and the governs attention was turned to help Africa. The following initiative has been ongoing.
Read the following:
“Invoking the Names of Sierra Leone 's progress report received a passing grade by the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently. The report stated, “ Sierra Leone has made sufficient progress to reach the completion point under the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.” Amidst hiccups and waved unsatisfied criterion, “Sierra Leone becomes the 21st country to reach the completion point under the Initiative.” In 2005, the Executive Board of the IMF wrote; “The Board agreed to waive the nonobservance of a performance criterion on the accumulation of new external arrears under the previous PRGF arrangement that expired in June 2005 that resulted in a noncomplying disbursement under that arrangement.” On December 18, 2006, the Executive Board wrote: To reach the completion point, Sierra Leone met the following conditions: (i) preparation of a full PRSP and implementation for at least one year, as evidenced by the joint staff assessment of the PRSP and the country's annual progress report; (ii) maintenance of macroeconomic stability as evidenced by satisfactory implementation of the PRGF-supported program; (iii) completion of structural measures in the areas of governance and decentralization, private sector development, education and health; and (iv) an increase in spending on designated poverty reducing expenditure priorities that was proportionate to HIPC relief. And, it qualified Sierra Leone for the necessary debt relief according to IMF and World Bank officials. But it does not go without the fact that meeting the HIPC Initiative objectives have also coincided with the SLPP-led government's double paddling efforts in the last two years in preparation for parliamentary and presidential reelections. Before that, the banks and donor nations, including UN officials, had nothing but warning for Sierra Leone against bad behaviors – bad governance, youth neglect, pervasive corruption in government and the unwillingness to comply with the World Bank, IMF and African Development Bank (AfDB) Poverty Reduction Growth Facility (PRGF) guidelines, which had delayed the upgrading of its Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (IPRSP) since 2002.It will be unfair to state blatantly that progress that led to the passing mark this time was more for the SLPP to be reelected than for compliance with HIPC Initiative objectives. Nonetheless, we must examine and admonish the banks and donors to continue to be steadfast in their admonishment of the leaders of Sierra Leone against bad behaviors. Political parties in Sierra Leone are doing their part in highlighting SLPP shortfalls in good governance through the media both in Sierra Leone and abroad. The leaders of Sierra Leone are most certainly responding to something – it is not clear whether they are responding to international pressure or reelection bid. We do not know what is responsible for the quantum change from their bad behavior position of the past to the present double paddling efforts. Most important, Sierra Leone 's progress report received a passing grade, which is understood that prevailing multi-party activities could underpin a positive development in an underdeveloped country. But the Executive Board progress report for Sierra Leone did not go without the following statement: “Debt relief at completion point under the enhanced HIPC Initiative and MDRI is an important milestone for Sierra Leone toward debt sustainability while providing more resources for poverty reduction and the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals." How will Sierra Leone accomplish such demands owing to its prevailing custom of lethargy in leadership? “By Karamoh Kabba 5/7/200.
S.L.P.P. partially utilized the funds donated by donor nations because the IM.F. World Bank (G8) nations had passed a resolution to assist African nations, relieve their debts only if they met certain criterion. Again, they dragged their feet from 2002 to 2006 only because they want reelection. In short, they did it for their selfish interest to regain power. They changed their behaviours only when they realized the government that comes in would if they didn’t and that they would be removed from power if they did not. After submitting the paper, they sold rice. How have they changed?
Debt reduction program was not an advantage for the A.P.C., the donations received by Sierra Leone could have changed Sierra Leone for the better if it was under the Shaki style. America alone has spent about a billion dollars on Sierra Leone since the war ended.
Shaki and Momoh ruled Sierra Leone when Sierra Leonean deficit was high, money owned to the International Monitary Fund was high, which in fact, caused us to go into inflation. But the S.L.P.P. ruled Sierra Leone when philanthropists bugged the G8 to forgive Africa’s debts, some of which had accumulated since Colonial days, and they did. That put us on a right footing to develop Sierra Leone beyond what the S.L.P.P. claims they did for Sierra Leone.
Facts: Sierra Leone never had a civil war during the A.P.C. In the entire Sierra Leonean politics under the 24 years of the A.P.C. rule not even a thousand people died from any skirmishes. When the civil war started up to the time the S.L.P.P. took over, less than one thousand people died in the war. In 1999 alone the number of Sierra Leoneans that died from S.L.P.P. blunder is higher than the number of all Sierra Leoneans that died in fracases, if that is what you call them, before and immediately after Independence, in our history. The S.L.P.P. wants to continue such blood birth by encouraging fights in the rural areas. Berewa set the pace by accusing Mr. Margai of Treason SINCE 2005-6 and till of late.
Sir, it is not too late to change even if you do it at the ballot box is o.k. But your children do not need another minute of Berewa leadership in Sierra Leone. Do that for the future of your children and generations to come.
In conclusion, let me salute you for being courageous to engage in democratic practice by discussing with your compatriots so that you know more about your party and the future of Sierra Leone. Thank you and may God guide us in our decision to live your children, our children, a better future by voting a Sierra Leonean who cares for the people of Sierra Leone; thank you.

It sounds very funny to us when you stated that during the APC era,Sierra Leone never had a civil war.Let me draw your attention to the fact that the civil war started during the APC days(March,1991).The war was also the result of APC mis-rule.
Bambay, it will be best for you APC guys to stop talking about the electricity and water supply problems in our country.When the SLPP left in 1967/68,there was a very good electricity and water supply systems in the country.The APC failed to improve on the capacity of these systems.The SLPP left plenty money for the development of these sectors but your leaders(Stevens and Momoh) and thier ministers transfered the funds into thier personal bank accounts.
When the SLPP took over for the second time in 1996,President Kabba appointed,Dr.Yembeh Mnasaray(of the APC) as his minister in-charge of electricity and water supplies.Dr.Mansaray then appointed your present unlawful leader,Ernest Koroma as chairman,board of directors for the Guma Valley Water company.
Please,asked these two APC members to tell you, what they did to improve on the electricity and water systems in the country.
Finally,Bambay,please keep in your mind that, YOUR APC DOES NOT HAVE THE MORAL AUTHORITY TO CONDEMN THE SLPP FOR ANYTHING IN SIERRA LEONE.

NDOVO TOTI/ MA NDOVO TOTI/ WEH/ WEH...This was the song FBC students used to greet a certain opportunist called Alpha Saidu Bangura, when he used to accompany his bras to FBC functions. One thing I observed about this character even in those days is that he can fake his way to prominence ruthlessly. As an off campus student at FBC Alpha Saidu Bangura became notorious and well hated when he became the first student to advocate thuggery in student union politics.
But he is resilient in an a***-licking way you know. He tried all available channels just to go abroad. He could be seen rubbing shoulders with SLFA big wigs like Awoko, an association that ended up in scandal, when it was revealed by the press that Aplha Saidu Bangura was included in a particular Leone Stars delegation as the team's masseur, just to gain visa..osai eelearn massage...Possibly he was giving a thorough massage to his Bra. Awoko...
Ar heng bazz for this fake...Those who are vast in literature would read between the lines and ignore this publicity craving refugee.
P/S: One acid test to really prove that Alpha Saidu Bangura is a fake: He is always posing as if he is a Fourah Bay pikin when in actual fact he is just a Fourah Bay 'borboh'. Wh dat know wating ar min go understand

In the first half of 1991,when the people of Sierra Leone demanded multi party elections, it was very clear to then president Momoh that his APC will be kicked out of power. President Momoh contacted Foday Sabana Sankoh( since they were friends)in the RSLMF, to wage a war against the defenceless people of Sierra Leone, so that his APC will use the war as an excuse to prolong their stay in power. Momoh also instructed Foday Sankoh of start the war in the SLPP's strong areas(PUJEHUN AND KAILAHUN).
Luckily for us a group of their boys, staged a coup against them in April 1992,because the army noticed that the APC was not ready to fight the RUF. A lot of deceitful APC members are saying that the RUF kicked the APC out, but that is not true. The truth is , NPRC kicked the APC out.
After the 1996 general elections that brought in a SLPP led government, the APC and the RUF continued the war.
In May,1997 the union of APC and RUF formed the AFRC, that unlawful removed the SLPP from power.
Very senior APC officials J.S.Momoh, Victor Foh, Johnny Paul Koroma and Sanie Sesay served in the AFRC administration.
I am sure that our people back home will not be surprised to see the RUF merge once more with their best bed-follows, the APC.

The APC has nothing to do with the RUF for the following reasons:
1. The RUF war set the the stage for the overthrow of the APC. If there was no war, there will have been no coup, all things being equal. Most of the weapons were at the war front.
2. Most of the NPRC leaders were south-easterners. Bio's sister was a RUF leader. Sankoh hated the APC too much because they jailed him for several years and he met Hinga Norman in prison. Momoh was a witness against Sankoh, Bangura and others during their treason trial. Momoh and Sankoh were never friends. Sankoh publicly disgraced Momoh in Makeni.
2. Many APC politicians and supporters were killed by the RUF all over the country. Sankoh publicly said the war will continue if the SLPP lost the elections in 1996.
3.People from all the political parties supported the AFRC.Joe Amara Bangalie, an SLPP man, supported the AFRC. He was Finance minister. Also, people from all political paries fought against the AFRC. Foday Mansaray, an APC man on this forum is one of them. I can go on and on.
Please let us dont distort history. The APC did not create or support the RUF. On the contrary. Perhaps they accepted them into their ranks today for national reconciliation and to know the truth about the RUF. When the CIA wants information from somebody they make friends with them. The apc strategists are very smart.

Alpha,you are a sinner to the people of Sierra-Leone and a disgrace to the Black race.I have been observing your postings which are less credible.It is obvious you are not residing in Sierra-Leone at present and your shallow thinking wont allow you to feel the pinch of those on the ground.Almost 24hrs of darkness,sewage,animals and human beings co-existing and competing for the same resources for survival,high mortality rate,endemic poverty and corruption etc.Have you taken your breakfast,lunch or dinner?I hope so,but most Sierra-Leoneans hardly get one of the above.The 24 years of the Apc rule was not perfect,but we enjoyed some amount of social aminities like water supply,electricity etc,a Sierra-Leonean hardly go to bed hungry,Freetown and other cities were clean and healthy for habitation,Guinea and other west African neighbours saw us as a role model and willingly migrated to settle in Sierra-Leone.By then,Hon.Earnest Bai Koroma was not a member of the government and had nothing to do with its functions.Over ten years under the government of the reckless slpp the Economic and social situation of the country is precarious and miserable in which Berewa is a vp.If you are not a greedy individual and have love for your country,you wont be fabricating lies and causing a lot of noise to vote for a corrupt and heartless Berewa.As to the alliance of other parties to the Apc ,for instance Rufp, is democracy at work but if you say it is a crime then it was a crime for the slpp government to be in alliance with the Rufp in which the late Foday Sankoh was a vice President and the kamajor leader the late Norman was a cabinet minister.Maybe you knew something else,please can you bring it to light?You said the Apc sponsored the Ruf to remove the party from government,this is just like giving a gun to a Drunker to shoot and kill you.Is there any logic in your allegation?Alpha,do you know why the white man says NEGA?It is not because of your skin colour because BLACK IS BEAUTY!but is the logic behind the mentality,thinking and reasoning of the Blackman.This adjective unfortunately is appropriate for certain Blacks like you.Again,onething I want to assure you of is that, APC will win the elections even if the slpp hires the most dangerous mercenaries on earth

STANDARD TIMES wrote :" While in the United States, most of them decided to abandon the objective of their mission. Apart from Karefa Kargbo, Komba Kambo and Maada Bio who pursued different courses in computing and other disciplines obtained undergraduate and graduate degrees, others like Idrissa Kamara and Amara diverted their attention to something else "
It is not true.
Almost all the NPRC guys engaged themselves in serious endeavours in the United States .
Col .Idriss Kamara is my personal friend and brother and as a mentor, so to speak, and an elder brother to him, he keeps me in the know about everything he has done in America. He too went to school and got his degrees and hold a responsible job.
In addition, he is engaged in a worthy business enterprise , supplying African foodstuffs to leading African Stores in the EAST Coast. Three weeks ago, he came to New Jersey to expand his business and brought me a plastic bag of big kuta and other fishes that he supplies. Wey me wef wass dat pan cassava leaves...
All that Col.Idriss talks about is expanding his business and improving himself further at his present profession. You cannot praise Maada Bio, who is being accused of causing trouble in Sierra Leone, and put down those who have been conducting themselves well in America , with no intention whatsoever of involving themselves in politics back home.
I have had cause to also talk with Major Taqi Turay and Capt. Ken Josiah who just wrote an interesting book I will start reviewing next week. All these guys have spent their time well in America by going to school, achieving something and holding good, responsible jobs. Infact one of the things that helped Col. Kambo, apart from being innocent of the things people went and spoke about him, was his serious academic endeavour and the fact that nobody--neighbours, etc.--had anything bad to say about him.These guys are not a threat to even a fly, let alone their country.
I think we should get off the backs of some of these young men who came to the U.S. like any of the best of us and have done really well with their time, to the glory of God .
Col. Idriss is also a christian and leads the songs and praises in his church in the USA.
I am not condemning STANDARD TIMES but the person who wrote the story. We Editors make the mistake now and again to publish articles from people who do not have their facts right.

I attented St.Edwards Secondary Sch together with Col Idriss Kamara from form one until form five.I want to get the record straight here.Col. Idriss was called JESUS KAMARA and i can lay my life for him that he never smoked "diamba" or played dice at "white house".Infact he was very studious and hard working to the point that he was elected to the position of Assistance Senior Prefect by senior staff after a tuff debate amongst eight contestant for that position in which everything was taken into consideration.
Vinod you should just shut-up and stay away from sierra leone politics.You shameless SON-OF-NO-NATIONALITY.You have no moral values or respect to poke your noise into this forum.You are one of the most corrupt element in Sierra Leone.
You stole a lot of money from the owner of Globe Cinema to lavish it on somebody else wife that you sent to FBC.That was why you were fired from Globe cinema.Globe eventually went brokee.You even owe me $15,000 which you never paid me.
If you can tell such lies about Col Idriss smoking diamba, then commandeering of your jeep is another imagination.I am coming for my money.You supported the AFRC and was even supplying mosquito food stuff.So shut up.
Col Idriss was very productive in Bo Town.I was living there during his rule.He even do he got me
1.He gave them pipe borne water
2.He gave them Radio station by giving Andrew Koroma the owner of FM KISS 104 110% support
3.He built parks that i personally contributed to.
4 He rebuilt every round-up and plainted flowers in them.
5 HE beautified the clock tower
6.He turned on street lights and added more.
7.He fixed the muctuary
8.He cleaned up Bo town
9.Open up drainages that were clogged up for over 20years
10.Got rid of millions of mosquitos by elemenating their breeding ground
11.Makes Bo town very and it enviroment very safe.
12 Visited and helped people in the displace camps in Gondama
13.Organsed the youths,market women and unit the whole township.
I will go on and on.......He is a good man and i rspect him.

MY DEAR KABS,
PLEASE DON'T TRUST THAT WOLF INNA SHEEP CLOTHING. HE IS THE MOST EVIL BEING TO HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO THE WORLD, AFTER NEBHUKADNIZER(EXCUSE MY SPELLING 'COZ I AM NOT GODLY PRESENT)
LET ME GIVE YOU A CATALOGUE OF HIS EVIL WAYS:
1. THE APC WAS BAD WE ALL KNOW, BUT FOR HIM TO NOT ONLY BETRAY HIS UNCLE (BAMBAY KAMARA) BUT SOUGHT TO KILL HIM, IS UNFORGIVEABLE.
2. AS SOS FOR BO, THE THING WAE DA BOY DO..HUMMPH..LEH WE LEF PAMINE GEE DRY RICE. ASK LATE HINGA NORMAN EN HIM TELLU BONGOR PEOPLE DEM...
3. IDRIS KAMARA, CHARLES MBAYO, KAREFA EN PUMA. IF DEN GEH MIND LEH DEN GO WAKA NA SACKVILLE STREET
4. IDRISS KAMARA WAS THE ONE WITH THE IDEA TO DUMP THE THEN DETHRONED STASSER OFF THE GUINEA BOUND HELICOPTER INTO THE REBEL STRONGHOLD. IT WAS ONLY STRASSER'S RECITATION OF THE LORD'S PRAYER THAT SAVED HIM.
5.DURING BINTUMANI 2, IDRISS KAMARA MOBILISED A GANG OF RAGTAG SOLDIERS THAT MANHANDLED SULAIMAN BANJA TEJAN SIE 11;LATER DETAINED AND THEN TIED THAIMU BANGURA'S KNECK WITH A RUBBER CUT FROM A TYRE. BEFORE HE LEFT SIERRA LEONE ON A VISA ARRANGED FOR ALL BUTHCERS BY JONAH, HE TRIED TO MAKE PEACE WITH THE SANDA WAR LORD (LATE THAIMU BANGURA). HE WENT TO THAIMU'S OFFICE AT BARTHURST STREET, HYPOCRITICALLY ASKING "KORTOR, PEOPLE ARE SAYING THAT I WAS THE ONE WHO TIED YOUR NECK. DID YOU SEE ME THERE" BUT THAIMU, LIKE THE PROVERBIAL CROCODILE CATHCER SAID NO...ENTI NA DEM (NPRC) BIN HOLE DI SHARP SAI (POWER) SHHIOR! THAIMU WAS WAITING FOR THE CIVILIANS TO CONSOLIDATE POWER...LIKE THE PROVERBIAL CROCODILE CATHCHER, THAIMU WAS JUST SAYING: ORMURRAY...ORMURRAY...ORMURRAY, BECOZ THE CROCODILE WAS STILL IN THE RIVER. ONCE THE CROCODILE HAD REACHED LAND, THE CATCHER WOULD HAVE GRABBED IT, SHOUTING ORKUNYOH!. BUT BRA IDRISS SMELLED THE RAT. IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT HE BOOKED HIS FLIGHT THE VERY NIGHT KABBAH RECEIVED THE STAFF FROM BIO. THERE ARE STRONG RUMOURS ALSO THAT HE OCHESTRATED THE SHOOTING OF PAUL KAMARA.
6.IF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS ONE OF THE BAROMETERES USED BY THE USA'S HOMELAND SECURITY TO DEPORT TOM NYUMA THEN IDRISS SHOULD WATCH HIS BACK. LIKE TOM NYUMA THIS THUG HAS NO RESPECT FOR WOMEN. THE WAY HE CONTINUES TO BULLY HIS WIFE MARIATU SHOULD BE BROUGHT UNDER SCRUTINY.SOMTEM NA BECOZ HE DAE SEE IM SEF AS MARIATU IM TOYBOY.AH!AH!AH! BUT ANYWAY, WHO DAT LAS MARRADE GRANNY NA IM GO BERR AM..BRIMA TOGO KOL YOU HART YA.IDRISS IS NOT ONLY RUDE TO HIS WIFE, BUT ALSO DISRESPECTFUL TO HER CLOSE RELATIVES. A CASE IN POINT WAS WHEN MARIATU'S ELDER BROTHER ABDUL THORLU GBLA VISITED THE COUPLE'S VIRGINA HOME, TO SETTLE A DISPUTE. WAE BRA IDRISS KAMARA CHANGE...EE JUZ TAN LEK IM COBRA BATTALION WAE IM BIN DAE NA SA LONE. DE WORD WAE LEF WAE EE NOR TELL THORLU GBLA, PASS DE WAN WAE NOR KAM NA IM HADE. WE ALL KNOW THAT THORLU GBLA HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT DEFORMED HIM FOR LIFE. SCARS OF THAT ACCIDENT IS EVIDENT IN THE WAY HE LIMPS THESE DAYS. BOYS, IDRISS NOR DO WAN EE NOR DO TWO, HE DECIDE FOR CALL IM BROTHER IN LAW: YOU BASTA POLIO...

Go to the archives of the old Cocorioko newspaper. Col. Idriss answered all his critics in a series that ran for days.
Contrary to what you are saying here, Col. Idriss sent me pictures of himself and Hinga Norman ( And the Chief's wife ) sitting down and planning attacks on the rebel. He also sent me a picture depicting him , Chief Norman and the people of Bo marching triumphantly through the streets, celebrating their victory over the rebels ; I also have a picture of him and the loyal soldiers advancing on the rebels in Telu Bongor. We will publish all of these after the elections.
Col. Idiss also sent me pics of him and the people of Bo commissioning the projects he did for them.
You see, my friend, everybody has enemies in this world and so nobody is immune from rumours and slanderous accusations. Maybe, what you are repeating are what Col. Idriss' enemies want people to believe about him , not the real person he is.
Go back to one of the issues of the WEST AFRICAN JOURNAL, edited by Joe Kappia. I have a lengthy article there on Strasser's overthrow. The story was written , using the accounts of many newspapers then in Sierra Leone. The soldiers decided to take Strasser to Guinea and Idriss was given the assignment .How can he decide to throw Strasser off the helicopter when the military high command had ordered that he be taken to Guinea for his own safety . If they wanted to kill him, they could have done so and lied to the public that he put up a fight.
Strasser did put up a fight but he was subdued with fists and not with bullets. That certainly is not the action of people who wanted to kill somebody .
Only God, who sees everything , knows who did what in Sierra Leone. These are all rumors and unsubstantiated allegations you have narrated.
My concern is not only for Idiss , but all the other young men who have put everything behind them and have worked hard to rebuild and enrich their lives and their future .I think we should leave them alone.
People have committed worse atrocities, not only in Sierra Leone but the world over but I don't see some of you bothering them than you do to these young men. It is not fair.If you have sons, would you like your sons to be treated like this ?
Whatever mistakes they may have made in power, one thing is certain : The NPRC in so short a time accomplished better things for the people than the mess rusty, old men did in all their years in power.
Let's give these young men a break in the name of God.People have done worse things and they are presently enjoying in Sierra Leone.

Bra KABS,
It's true that a lot of atrocities have been committed in SL but the fact is we should not let this crazy stuff continue.....The NPRC boys did some crazy stuff...the only reason why they succeeded that coup is because at that time even a "DOG" would have succeeded to overthrow the APC regime. Idriss, I am from Kingtom and I know what you did and off course your crews....Your best bet is to be shotup and continue doing the good things you are crews are doing for yourselves because you have lost a lot and need some forgiveness from the SL people.

Rev Kabs,
You are a worthy man and you should not let your reputation be sullied by defending an undefendable character. The political sins of Idrissa Kamara are too numerous for any Sierra Leonean of good concience to tolerate him. As 'Satan' of State (SOS) for Southern Province he caused untold suffering to many of his country men and women: beatings, false imprisonment and death. I personally witnessed the use of his brute force on a trip to Sierra Leone for my dad's funeral ceremony. He made us all walk from New London in Bo to Shellmingo because the driver of our government bus could not bribe his band of thugs who had set up road blocks in Bo. Believe me Kabs, this man needs your prayers and not your defence.

Absolutely. Idriss should have askerd Rev Kabs Kanu to pray for him and also seek repentance. Idrisss Kamara did terrible things to the weak. I wonder if the Rev. knew the utter disrespect Idriss showed during the NPRC hey days.
Idriss Kamara was drunk with power and he did abuse many innocent people. Him and the other NPRC guys will not account for the diamonds and millions of dollars they looted from APC supporters. Idriss must not try to save face through a medium but to clearly prostrate and ask for forgiveness to his victims.

Rev.W.L Kabs Kanu,i want to thank you very much for your quick response to such an irresponsible,malicious,ignorant,and far away from the fact article that was posted by Standard Times, whose writing is not only sub standard but also inferior to "fact finding journalism".
The whole article about Kambo calling on Tom Nyuman to testify on his behalf is rubbish writing. Standard Times lacks the resources and trained personel to gather and publish accurate stories about things going on right "under their noises" in Freetown,not to talk about things going on thousands of miles away from Sierra Leone.
To get the record straight Mr Standard Times,i got my BACHELOR of SCIENCE(BSc) IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION June 2004 HERE IN THE UNITED STATE.
My wife and i own our own business known as MIK INTERNATIONAL FOODS,specialises in the importation of African foods AND EXPORTATION of international foods.
I also work for one of the biggest Transit company in the world(First Transit a $300 million company).I am an instructor and a supervisor.The company will soon pay for me to start my MBA IN THE UNITED STATE.
Please check your facts before you publish them, because they are now read world wide.

Idriss,
It is better you kept quite than respond. You probably paid for your degree and did not genuinely earn it. You don't even know USA stands for the United States of America. You said United State (singular) twice. You're a dummy or brain dead. Only in Sierra Leone, fools like you can be put in positions you don't belong.
Shut up and rot in America.

Idriss, the best thing that you did for yourself is going to school because no one can take your knowledge away from you, but the money you stole from the people of sierra leone, will one day disappear from you. Don't forget to go to church (mosque) and repent for your sins because the blood of the innocents might one day hunt you down. take care of yourself and keep a low profile because FBI is looking for former NPRC/AFRC leaders.

Idris Kamara(Bo Town fame), i definitely know you have changed your life for the better here in The States. I happened to see you in some wedding in Phili few years ago and you were more accomodating than the Idris i used to see in Bo Town and on Regent Road, Lumley(body guard secluded, hope it rings a bell). Nonetheless your response to the said allegation/s are to be taken with a grain of salt and i wish you keep doing what you think you should do to benefit yourself and family. The whole concept of journalism from the microns of Sierra Leoneans here and back home is extremely dissappointing. Take a closer look at articles posted on this forum, all about personal vendetta, family issues, old grudges all canopied in the name of politrics, not to mention some front page articles that do appear on this news media too. Personally feel some lack basic journalistic fact to say the least. So if in a civilized society here, we abuse/misuse and propagate materials that are untrue, what else will you expect from the money sucking, half baked journalists that pretend to be a media house for our beloved nation? There is a clear distinction between being trained as a journalist in college and putting that into practise. You can count only few journalists in Sierra Leone who truely practise REAL journalism as deemed by thereprofession, the rest we should just hold our hands in prayer for them. They have and continue to destroy our country, tanish the good image of our people.
Relax man and do what u gat to do bro to help bring food home for fam, that is all what matters not the WEARWERENESS RECKLESS REPORTING or what xyz feels/thinks about you.
Can you imagine they all yelling execute Tom Nyuma now? unbelieveable

Liberia charges general, ex-speaker with treason
Fri 20 Jul 2007, 20:51 GMT
[-] Text [+] By Alphonso Toweh
MONROVIA, July 20 (Reuters) - Liberia has charged a former armed forces chief and an ex-speaker of the National Assembly with treason over a plot to smuggle weapons into the West African country, a senior official said on Friday.
General Charles Julu, who led a 1994 coup attempt during Liberia's 1989-2003 civil war, was detained on Tuesday along with former colonel Andrew Dorbor for subversive activities against the state.
During questioning on Friday, Dorbor named Julu and George Koukou, a former speaker of the National Assembly during a post-war transitional government, as leaders of the plot.
"The two men have been formally charged with treason by the court," Deputy Communications Minister Gabriel William told Reuters, without giving further details of what the weapons were to be used for.
"Treason is not a bailable offence ... They will remain in custody until they and their lawyers go to the legal process."
A video tape made public by Liberian authorities on Friday showed Dorbor and Julu's cousin, Efraim Junior Gaye, holding discussions with an Ivorian military officer on how to transport weapons from Ivory Coast to Liberia.
Liberian intelligence services recorded the video last month, after monitoring the alleged plotters since the start of the year.
Dorbor told investigators in the presence of journalists that Julu, a former presidential guard commander under slain Liberian Presidential Samuel Doe, had liaised with him while he was negotiating for arms in Ivory Coast.
Liberia's on-off civil war ended in 2003, when an interim government backed by United Nations peacekeepers took over the devastated West African country after former warlord and President Charles Taylor went into exile.
The war had killed some 200,000 people and displaced a third of Liberia's 3 million people.
President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf took office early last year after winning historic post-war elections in 2005, replacing the transitional government of Gyude Bryant.
Taylor is now on trial in The Hague for war crimes related to an inter-linked civil war in neighbouring Sierra Leone.
Although a U.N. peacekeeping contingent remains in Liberia and Johnson-Sirleaf's rule has been relatively stable, the government has previously denounced what it has called subversive activities, but there have been no convictions.

"The police are playing down the significance of a spate of fires which started in January 2007, escalated in March and April and have destroyed around 100 homes, mostly in Southern Province, Pujehun District. Motivations are unclear but most agree they were more than the usual accidents connected to the agricultural cycle of burning and family feuds. The chief UN representative in-country attributes them to partisan politics at the local level and says the upheaval of changing political allegiances and the intensified demand for scarce resources are leading to increased tension and a settling of scores.
Pujehun, a key district, has a history of family rivalries and feuds which have fed into political rivalries and provoked intense violence. In the 1980s, during the one-party era, the brutal murder there of a supporter of a candidate out of favour with the APC hierarchy led to widespread violence and destruction as family members and others sought revenge. This tendency also was partly behind the sustained violence in the area during the war. Though both sides deny responsibility, it is believed the recent cycle of fires began when Brima Victor Kebbie, the Paramount Chief of Malen Chiefdom and the district’s SLPP parliamentarian, took exception to his brother’s joining the PMDC. The PMDC is thought to have used former CDF/RUF fighters to retaliate. No one has died; several people have been arrested but their statements have not clarified responsibility. Police interventions and UN surveillance have calmed the situation but that no one is prepared to identify perpetrators means the stand-off is far from resolved."

Before announcing the formal launch of the manifesto, he expressed his lack of confidence in the leadership of the police force and delivered a warning to police personnel.
