The Fulas who are not included are not indigenous to this country. They are nomadlO In character with a predominantly patJtoral background. Their immigration to this country dates back to the early part of this century when tli^y brought in cattle forv sale. Their number has increased over the years to such an extent that their population is a sizeable one. However it may be noted that smaller groups have come in at different times, but have settled down ehd become identified with the tribes in the area. This chapter seeks to give a brief account of the origin of each of these groups. The Mende are the same as the '*Manes or ilani who in the I6>th century migrated from the Kigdom of Quoja on Cape Mount in the present Liberia end moved northwards along 9. the coast led by their Kings Saeina and Seterana,"^ They were iJrobably fleeing from the all conqiiering King Askia Mohamed of Soagjiai, The Bulloms and Temne Kings attacked the invaders but were defeated, Felipe, a Hani emperor, made allience with the Sapi and together with some tribes of the interior attacked the Limbas and Yaiunkas in the area where they settled and i§ today known as Mende Country, The Mende people who are Sierra Leonee largest of the Mande speaking group inhabit an area of almost 12,000 square miles in the Southern and Eastern Provir.ces with a total estimated population of 600,000, It is suggested that when they arrived in the early i 6th century they established themselves into little bands of warriors under a locel Chief, The 'war boys* acted as the Chiefs body guard and private army in the event of a dispute with a neigh• bouring Chiefs These war boys were mercenary soldiers who were rewarded with the spoils of the raids and expedition made on neighbouring Chiefs, In some cases they made treaties With the conquered and offered them protection in return for allegiance* In other cases article villages were enslaved and their leaders killed* In this way individual Chiefs Were able to huild large confederacies in which the Paramount Chief exercised control of a variable kind over a number ot local chiefs.

  • Chiefs: Economic Development and Elite Control of Civil Society in Sierra Leone
    Working paper Chiefs: Economic Development and Elite Control of Civil Society in Sierra Leone Daron Acemoglu Tristan Reed James A. Robinson September 2013 When citing this paper, please use the title and the following reference number: S-2012-SLE-1 Chiefs: Economic Development and Elite Control of Civil Society in Sierra Leone⇤ Daron Acemoglu† Tristan Reed ‡ James A. Robinson§ September 26, 2013 Abstract We use the colonial organization of chieftaincy in Sierra Leone to study the e↵ect of con- straints on chiefs’ power on economic outcomes, citizens’ attitudes and social capital. A paramount chief must come from one of the ruling families originally recognized by British colonial authorities. Chiefs face fewer constraints and less political competition in chiefdoms with fewer ruling families. We show that places with fewer ruling families have significantly worse development outcomes today—in particular, lower rates of educational attainment, child health, non-agricultural employment and asset ownership. We present evidence that variation in the security of property rights in land is a potential mechanism. Paradoxically we also show that in chiefdoms with fewer ruling families the institutions of chiefs’ authority are more highly respected among villagers, and measured social capital is higher. We argue that these results reflect the capture of civil society organizations by chiefs.

    The Chiefdoms of Sierra Leone Tristan Reed1 James A. Robinson2 July 15, 2013 1Harvard University, Department of Economics, Littauer Center, 1805 Cambridge Street, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. 2Harvard University, Department of Government, IQSS, 1737 Cambridge Street., N309, Cambridge MA 02138; E-mail: [email protected]. Abstract1 In this manuscript, a companion to Acemoglu, Reed and Robinson (2013), we provide a detailed history of Paramount Chieftaincies of Sierra Leone. British colonialism transformed society in the country in 1896 by empowering a set of Paramount Chiefs as the sole authority of local government in the newly created Sierra Leone Protectorate. Only individuals from the designated \ruling families" of a chieftaincy are eligible to become Paramount Chiefs. In 2011, we conducted a survey in of \encyclopedias" (the name given in Sierra Leone to elders who preserve the oral history of the chieftaincy) and the elders in all of the ruling families of all 149 chieftaincies. Contemporary chiefs are current up to May 2011. We used the survey to re- construct the history of the chieftaincy, and each family for as far back as our informants could recall. We then used archives of the Sierra Leone National Archive at Fourah Bay College, as well as Provincial Secretary archives in Kenema, the National Archives in London and available secondary sources to cross-check the results of our survey whenever possible. We are the first to our knowledge to have constructed a comprehensive history of the chieftaincy in Sierra Leone. 1Oral history surveys were conducted by Mohammed C. Bah, Alimamy Bangura, Alieu K.

  • 2017 Constituency Boundary Delimitation Report, Vol. 2
    NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION Republic of Sierra Leone Constituency Boundary Delimitation Report Volume 2 August, 2017 Foreword The National Electoral Commission (NEC) is submitting this report on the delimitation of constituency and ward boundaries in adherence to its constitutional mandate to delimit electoral constituency and ward boundaries, to be done “not less than five years and not more than seven years”; and complying with the timeline as stipulated in the NEC Electoral Calendar (2015-2019). The report is subject to Parliamentary approval, as enshrined in the 1991 Constitution of Sierra Leone (Act No 6 of 1991); which inter alia states delimitation of electoral boundaries to be done by NEC, while Section 38 (1) empowers the Commission to divide the country into constituencies for the purpose of electing Members of Parliament (MPs) using Single Member First- Past –the Post (FPTP) system. The Local Government Act of 2004, Part 1 –preliminary, assigns the task of drawing wards to NEC; while the Public Elections Act, 2012 (Section 14, sub-sections 1 &2) forms the legal basis for the allocation of council seats and delimitation of wards in Sierra Leone. The Commission appreciates the level of technical assistance, collaboration and cooperation it received from Statistics Sierra Leone (SSL), the Boundary Delimitation Technical Committee (BDTC), the Boundary Delimitation Monitoring Committee (BDMC), donor partners, line Ministries, Departments and Agencies and other key actors in the boundary delimitation exercise. The hiring of a Consultant, Dr Lisa Handley, an internationally renowned Boundary delimitation expert, added credence and credibility to the process as she provided professional advice which assisted in maintaining international standards and best practices.

    chapter 4 Fragmentation and the Temne: From War Raids into Ethnic Civil Wars The Temne and Their Neighbours: A Long-Standing Scenario of Inter-ethnic Hostilities? The former British colony of Sierra Leone is today regarded as one of the classic cases of a society that is politically polarised by ethnic antagonism. By the 1950s, the decade before independence, ethnic fault lines had an impact on local political life and the inhabitants of the colony appeared to practise ethnic voting. Both the Sierra Leone People’s Party (slpp) government formed after 1957, led by Milton Margai, and the All People’s Congress (apc) government of Siaka Stevens coming to power in 1967/68, relied on ethnic support and cre- ated ethnic networks: the slpp appeared to be ‘southern’ and ‘eastern’, and Mende-dominated, the apc ‘northern’ and Temne-led.1 Between 1961 and the 1990s, such voting behaviour can be found in sociological and political science survey data.2 However, the period of brutal civil war in the 1990s weakened some of these community links, as local communities were more interested in their survival than in ethnic solidarities.3 We have seen that the 2007 legislative elections contradicted this apparent trend. Before the second half of the nineteenth century, the territory of present-day Sierra Leone was politically fragmented into a number of different small structures, which were often much smaller than the pre-colonial states of Senegambia (Map 4). The only regional exception was the ‘federation’ of Morea, which, however, was an unstable entity.
