    Sierra Leone – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 18 March 2010 Information as to what recent wars Sierra Leone has been involved in and when they ended. In a section titled “History” the United Kingdom Foreign & Commonwealth Office country profile for Sierra Leone states: “The SLPP ruled until 1967 when the electoral victory of the opposition APC was cut short by the country's first military coup. But the military eventually handed over to the APC and its leader Siaka Stevens in 1968. He turned the country into a one -party state in 1978. He finally retired in 1985, handing over to his deputy, General Momoh. Under popular pressure, one party rule was ended in 1991, and a new constitution providing for a return to multi-party politics was approved in August of that year. Elections were scheduled for 1992. But, by this stage, Sierra Leone's institutions had collapsed, mismanagement and corruption had ruined the economy and rising youth unemployment was a serious problem. Taking advantage of the collapse, a rebel movement, the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) emerged, with backing from a warlord, Charles Taylor, in neighbouring Liberia, and in 1991 led a rebellion against the APC government. The government was unable to cope with the insurrection, and was overthrown in a junior Officers coup in April 1992. Its leader, Capt Strasser, was however unable to defeat the RUF. Indeed, the military were more often than not complicit with the rebels in violence and looting.” (United Kingdom Foreign & Commonwealth Office (25 February 2009) Country Profiles: Sub-Saharan Africa – Sierra Leone) This profile summarises the events of the period 1996 to 2002 as follows: “Strasser was deposed in January 1996 by his fellow junta leaders.

FREETOWN - 8 MAY 2020 BROADCAST ON NATIONAL PEACE 2 Fellow Citizens: 1. Today, I want to call on all Sierra Leoneans to celebrate the ties that bind us as a nation and not the angers that blind us. We convened a national convention that agreed to institute a permanent commission for peace and national cohesion that would identify and address all triggers of conflict in our nation. Over and over again, I have asked every Sierra Leonean to contribute to building inclusive and resilient national institutions, to consolidate our democracy, and to build a peaceful Sierra Leone. 2. The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists has acknowledged that they practise journalism freely and we are working with them to repeal obnoxious laws and further enhance professional development in journalism. Civil society organisations speak up freely and hold Government accountable and we are grateful that they are playing their part as citizens. Organised labour organisations, professional organisations, religious bodies, Paramount Chiefs, community stakeholders, the private sector all continue to contribute positively to our peaceful co-existence as a nation. The international community in Sierra Leone continues to engage with Government and Sierra Leoneans in general in fostering peace and supporting development. BROADCAST ON NATIONAL PEACE 3 3.

  • Sierra Leone Presidential, Parliamentary and Local Elections, 7
    ELECTION OBSERVATION DELEGATION TO THE PRESIDENTIAL, PARLIAMENTARY AND LOCAL COUNCIL ELECTIONS IN SIERRA LEONE (07 March 2018) Report by Neena Gill CBE, Chair of the EP Delegation Annexes: A. List of participating MEPs B. European Parliament Election Observation Delegation Statement Introduction: Following an invitation from the Sierra Leone authorities and the subsequent authorisation of the Conference of Presidents, a six member EP delegation travelled to Sierra Leone to observe the 2018 presidential, parliamentary and local council elections. The delegation followed a programme in the country from 4 to 9 March 2018 and was integrated into the EU Election Observation Mission (EU EOM) led by Chief Observer Jean Lambert (Greens/EFA, UK). The EP delegation was chaired by Neena Gill CBE (S&D, UK), and was also composed of Frank Engel (EPP, Lux), Claudia Schmidt (EPP, AT), Joachim Zeller (EPP, DE), Norbert Neuser (EPP, DE) and Jordi Solé (Greens/EFA, ES). The context of the 2018 elections: Sierra Leone is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world, a situation exacerbated by the civil war which lasted from 1991 to 2002. It cost around 50,000 lives and led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. The authorities subsequently faced the huge challenge of reintegrating the former combatants, many of whom had been child soldiers and a large population which had suffered physical mutilation. The Ebola epidemic in 2014 led to further loss of life. It is estimated that 81.4% of the population lives in poverty on less than $3.10 a day. The economy is heavily dependent on extractive industries and is therefore vulnerable to volatile international prices.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.
