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.

  • Annual Report 2011 Is the Second to Be Published
    Political Parties Registration Commission – Annual Report - 2011 Political Parties Registration Commission - Annual Report - 2011 1 Political Parties Registration Commission – Annual Report - 2011 30th March, 2012 H.E. Dr. Ernest Bai Koroma, President, Republic of Sierra Leone State House Tower Hill Freetown Your Excellency, SUBMISSION OF ANNUAL REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE POLITICAL PARTIES REGISTRATION COMMISSION (PPRC) On behalf of the Commissioners and staff of the PPRC, I faithfully submit to you the second edition of the Commission’s Annual Report for the year 2011. The report gives an account of steps taken by the Commission to fulfill its Constitutional and statutory mandates including monitoring of activities of political parties and successful mediation between and among political parties throughout the country. This is a reflection of the transformation of the Commission into an operationally independent, efficient and strong institution. With this foundation, the Commission is now capable to effectively contribute to the strengthening of democracy and effectively carry out its constitutional mandate. In 2011, the Commission continued the process of reviewing its mandate so that it can have powers to sanction and punish initiators and perpetrators of political violence. We are happy to report that the Law Reform Commission and the Law Officers Department in the Ministry of Justice have concluded their work and a draft Bill entitled “The Political Parties Registration and Regulation Commission Bill, 2012” has been submitted to the Office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice. The Commission thank the Government of Sierra Leone for its financial support throughout 2011. However, we will continue to encourage the Government to increase its support to the Commission to fully achieve its Constitutional and Statutory mandates.

It is bordered by Guinea in the north-east, Liberia in the south-east, and the Atlantic Ocean in the south-west. Sierra Leone has a tropical climate, with a diverse environment ranging from savannah to rainforests. Sierra Leone has a total area of 71,740 km 2 (27,699 sq mi) [6] and an estimated population of 6 million (2011 United Nations estimate). [7][8] Freetown is the capital, largest city, and its economic and political centre. Bo is the second largest city. The other major cities in the country with a population above 100,000 are Kenema, Makeni and Koidu Town. Sierra Leone is divided into four geographical regions: the Northern Province, Eastern Province, Southern Province and the Western Flag Coat of arms Area, which are further divided into fourteen districts. Motto: "Unity, Freedom, Justice" About sixteen ethnic groups inhabit Sierra Leone, each with their own language and customs. The two Anthem: High We Exalt Thee, Realm of the Free largest and most influential are the Temne and the Mende people. The Temne are predominantly found in the north of the country, while the Mende are predominant in the south-east. Although English is the official language spoken at schools and government administration, the Krio language is the most widely spoken language in the country and unites all the different ethnic groups in the country, especially in their trade and social interaction with each other.

Phillips Abstract The dissertation is a monograph on the sowei (or bundu) masks of the Mende of Sierra Leone. Its aim is to provide information which will aid in the understanding of its symbolic forms and in the appreciation of its aesthetic qualities. The sowei masker personifies the sacred spirit of the Sande, a women’s secret society, into which all Mende girls are initiated at puberty and which marks the transi­ tion from child to adult. Masking figures prominently in its public ceremonies and although the general features of the society have been studied no detailed information about the ritual context of masking has been made available.
