It was a pleasure attending the National Reconciliation Award and the opening of the Sierra Leone Civil War Museum.

Today in history- March 23 1991-the start of Sierra Leone’s rebel war. We remember the names- those who were killed and injured on this day 35 years ago in the first rebel attack in Bomaru town, Kailahun district. We say never again.

A visit to the mass grave exhibition room is a sobering reminder of our history. Students learn about the past, so they can lead a better future. Thanks to our partner @ATJLF_ for supporting these student visits.

The TRC wrote that memorials are a prism through which we see the past, present, and future. This is why we value visits school visits to the civil war memorial in Lungi.

“The idea of forgetting that the civil war happened to us is the most appalling statement that I have ever heard in post-conflict Sierra Leone. How does one forget that [one’s hands] were amputated? You were a farmer who can no longer farm? csmonitor.com/layout/set/amp…
