@superrod001 @julius_maadabio And when I said to compare to their West African peers, I meant compare (Salone, Gambia, Liberia) to Guinea, Ghana, Senegal, Benin etc. Right now it's like you are comparing the 3 last students in the class and bragging that you are better.

Sierra leone spent 5.4 m dollars on foreign travel in 2025. Liberia and Gambia spent more. So is it that @julius_maadabio is allowing excess travel or is it as Liberia and Gambia spent more, just necessary travel? Or is Sierra Leone less extravagant than our neighbours?

There is no true Pan Africanists liberation without comprehension regional trade liberalization, protection for intellectual property and respect for the rule of law. This is the key: No dictator or Messiah is going to save you.
For A Marxism Without Guarantees@phethani4

The weakness of Africa and generally the third world has led into this. After years and years of choking under sanctions Zimbabwe capitulates. In the final analysis there is no way out for all of us collectively without a pan African project of true liberation. This hurts so much

@jamesonen Like those in Cameroon/Uganda/Eritrea etc? You take one success story and make zero effort to understand their story and then generalize across the board. Funny people..

Pope Leo XIV
Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
Africa is a reservoir of joy and hope for the whole world. Its young people and its poor still dream; they hope still; they do not settle for what already exists. They desire to rise up again, to prepare for great responsibilities, to put themselves on the line personally. The desire for the infinite that dwells in the human heart is a principle of social transformation deeper than any political or cultural program. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

Feed Salone is revolutionizing farming across Sierra Leone! Excitingly, I kicked off my day at the bustling Pee Cee Agriculture onions farm in Lungi, witnessing firsthand how our partnership with the private sector is drastically cutting down onion imports and creating vital jobs for our communities. We’re scaling up rapidly and are eager to team up with more private sector partners to feed Salone!

The Nant Energy project has reached an important milestone. The first turbine for the plant arrived in Freetown over the weekend, advancing efforts to expand Sierra Leone's energy capacity. Power generation is expected to start in early 2027. This project, financed by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, exemplifies the U.S. Government's commitment to fostering trade and investment partnerships in Africa. Through collaboration built on innovation, we are creating opportunities that benefit both American businesses and Sierra Leone.

Visit Sierra Leone
Visit Sierra Leone@VisitSL·
We are excited to share with you that Sierra Leone’s coastline came alive with excitement as the Coastal Unity Boat Race brought together 16 coastal communities in celebration of Sierra Leone's culture and creativity. Spectators enjoyed thrilling races alongside powerful cultural performances that celebrated the country’s diverse heritage.. Kissy Ferry Terminal claimed the top prize, followed by strong performances from Susan’s Bay and Moa Wharf. Beyond the competition, the event highlighted unity, resilience, and the importance of preserving cultural heritage. It is moments like these that inspire travel and showcase Sierra Leone as a destination full of life and authentic experiences. @National Tourist Board - Sierra Leone@Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs #VSLTourismUpdates #VisitSierraLeone #CoastalCommunites #SaloneCulture #TourismGrowth #SierraLeoneSportTourism

@julius_maadabio We can at least ensure 24-hour electricity in the capital and the industrial sector using gas-powered plants, unless Salone, has uranium deposits to sell, I don’t see the point of bringing it up, other than writing platitudes. Let's increase our existing capacity & access....plz

I had a constructive engagement with Rafael Mariano Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We agreed on expanding the current areas of support and exploring new opportunities in the field of nuclear energy.

If these posts by leading lights on either side of Salone’s political divide do not provide proof of erstwhile French president Charles de Gaulle’s observation - “I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians” - what does?

Sierra Leone Second from Bottom in World Happiness Report 2026 #SierraLeone has been ranked 146th out of 147 countries in the newly released World Happiness Report 2026, finishing just ahead of last-placed Afghanistan. The country recorded a life evaluation score of 3.251 out of 10, according to the report published by the Wellbeing Research Centre at the University of Oxford in partnership with Gallup. #Malawi placed 145th, while #Afghanistan remained at the bottom with a score of 1.446. In sharp contrast, #Finland was named the happiest country in the world for the ninth consecutive year with a score of 7.764, followed by other Nordic nations and #CostaRica in fourth place. The annual report is based on @Gallup World Poll data from 2023–2025, in which people rate their overall life satisfaction on a scale of 0 to 10. It analyses six key factors: income levels, social support, healthy life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity, and perceptions of corruption.

Today in Falaba was just FANTASTIC! All 13 Paramount Chiefs in the District came. And they were clear - we all came because of how much they respect me and the work my team and I have been doing for Sierra Leone under President Bio’s Leadership. Sometimes, the JOURNEY can be even more fulfilling than the DESTINATION. And days like this tell me clearly that the path is clear and Sierra Leone has gotten the memo! WE WILL CONTINUE THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION STRONGER TOGETHER now and into the future!
