The result counted so far is showing that the APC Ernest Koroma is leading Solomon Berewa by a land slide margin. The latest calls i made to my mother land in Bo states that even if the SLPP wins in that district the margin will not be so far,hence, it is a plus for APC as most of the supporters of Charles Margai/ PMDC voted for APC devoid of tribal lines.

The SLPP wants to repeat the fraud it perpetrated in SLPP strong holds during the 2002 elections.
Voter fraud was evident in all SLPP strongholds in 2002. Notable amongst them were Kanema, Bo, Moyamba, Pujehun, Bonthe, and Kono where statistics showed that the total votes cast for the SLPP alone in 2002 for each of them exceeded all votes for all parties that contested in 2007.
For example, in Kenema the SLPP vote count for 2002 was 259,942 whereas in the first round elections of 2002, the vote count for all parties combined was 196,437.
Also in Bo the SLPP vote count for 2002 was 241,140 whereas in 2007, the vote count for all parties combined was 179,782.
Evidence of voter fraud in the SLPP strongholds of Kailahun and Pujehun in 2002 were easily discernible as record showed that the vote counts in those regions exceeded the total number of registered voters.
For example, in Kailahun, the total votes cast in 2002 was 117,967 whereas the number of registered voters was 113878. Also, in Pujehun, the total votes cast in 2002 was 118,497 compared with the number of registerted voters which was 113,469.
What the SLPP wants to do is to win the elections with voter fraud in the east and the south.

SLPP VERY TOUGH!
Unity Newspaper in Freetown, the SLPP official mouthpiece, “has accused the United Nations and the International Community of plotting their downfall.”
How?
The paper claimed that the United Nations and the International Community withheld funds to “cripple government operations.”
What government operations did the SLPP have to accomplish that the government did not receive funds for from the international community? Is SLPP not stupid? This is the most ridiculous allegation the international community will hear from their friends. I am sure the SLPP party is not being sincere with our donor friends. Do they have to accuse somebody who gave them money for everything they did but failed to give them money to buy votes?
Look at the composition of the SLPP party and you will tell yourself the reason why the international community will refuse to do business with them. They are just a collection of corrupt elements who did not mean anything good for the country. Let us look at a few facts that will help us to dismiss their allegation (in fact it cannot be anything serious).
The British say, of all their former colonies, Sierra Leone has been the country where they have remitted their people’s tax monies the most-(over 217 million Pounds Sterling between 2001 and the present). Look at a small fraction of what the international community has been committing to the SLPP and convince yourself that they need to be grateful; or ask why Berewa and Kabbah and their cohorts cannot be asked questions.
I wanted to do the additions but I though that would be taking a lot of time so I decided to send you an attachment. Going through it should educate the writer enough to be able to dismiss SLPP’s claim that the international community withheld funds to “cripple government operations.” Operations my foot! The SLPP has done all it was elected to do; they cannot do more than their best; and their best is what they have manifested over the years, stealing, spending vacations with family members abroad while the nation went without the basic necessities, buying houses in the US, remitting development funds to overseas accounts, transforming poor people’s diamonds into valueless stones after a period, building a massive structure in Conakry, maintaining their concubines at the expense of the poor masses, spending over 20 billion Leones as monies to bribes chiefs and other voters, and many more. These are all government operations that were funded.
It is sad to know that the SLPP does not appreciate what the international community did to see them emerge from the dark clouds of failure but continued in their usual practices. They would turn around now to blame the international community for non-performance.
However the SLPP did not save money with the international community which they wanted to use that was denied them. The monies they had been receiving from the international community are tax monies from the donor countries. Their governments had to be explaining why they should remit money to countries like Sierra Leone. They would give account of whatever they would remit. The monies have never been used for the purpose. I am wondering why whoever posted that message did not think about who to ask or blame. Sorry to say that the international community will not send money to SLPP to use to buy votes or to convey Kamajors from everywhere to disrupt elections. It is unfortunate to say that the international community is tired of supporting a corrupt organization.
Readers can go to Dr. Kadi Sesay to cross check these figures. All you do is what Britain alone said has remitted to the country over the period to the several figures highlighted in the attachment then come out with a total. Don’t bother yourself with conversions from Pounds to Dollars or vice versa or into Euro. Maintain one currency denomination and you will get cardiac attack. You will be able to know roughly the millions of dollars and Pounds Sterling that have been wasted on that good-for-nothing party. DEN SHABE ALL EN LEF DE PIPUL DE WONDRY FOR TIN FOR EAT.
This is a short attachment to help you to know how the international community is not sleeping for the problems of humanity.
10 January 2000:
The Minister of Development and Economic Planning, Dr. Kadi Sesay, said the rice would be sold through a process of competitive bidding, with the proceeds going to the establishment of a social security scheme. Sesay added that the scheme would provide assistance to the most vulnerable members of society, including the aged, orphans, amputees, and the very poor. The minister said Sierra Leone had received financial aid of nearly $10 million, which would fund agricultural development to address the problem of food security.
March 27, 2000:
The World Bank has expressed support for a two-year Transitional Strategy for Sierra Leone, which would make available $85 million in loans in 2003 and $55 million in 2004 to help the war-torn country emerge from conflict. According to a statement released on Wednesday, the money, to be allocated in six IDA (International Development Association) credits, would go to help rebuild Sierra Leone's shattered economy, and would be applied to the areas of economic recovery, education, health, social action, institutional reform and infrastructure. The World Bank also plans to fund economic and public sector research on Sierra Leone by paying for an Income Survey, Poverty Analysis and Public Expenditure Review. It will also make available to Sierra Leone $15 million from the Multi-Sector HIV/AIDS Program. The funded project will focus on community and civil society-based initiatives to treat and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, and will target both rural and urban communities, displaced persons, and host communities.
25 March 2000:
The United States government announced Friday that it had recently contributed $1.9 million to the World Bank's Multi-Donor Trust Fund to support the DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) process in Sierra Leone. In a statement, the U.S. said it was also funding a "reintegration" educational program for war-impacted youth which had over 30,000 enrollees. The program, which is implemented through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), complements similar efforts administered by the government's National Committee for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (NCDDR). Last year the U.S. contributed some $16 million towards reintegration projects in Sierra Leone and over $75 million in humanitarian assistance.
20 March:
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have agreed to support a comprehensive debt reduction package for Sierra Leone under the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) initiative, the two institutions said on Tuesday. Total relief from all of Sierra Leone's creditors is worth about $950 million — equivalent to about $600 million in Net Present Value (NPV) terms or 80 percent of the country's total debt after the full use of traditional debt relief mechanisms.

About this time during the first round APC was declaring victory and dancing in the streets. Now they are running around bitching and ranting about irregularities and rigging. Please grow the hell up already. BBC news, reports from UN observers and representatives from both parties have stated that the election went smooth and without serious mishap. What is the real deal? APC just loves drama. SLPP did not contest the first round although there were several valid reasons why they should have. Berewa is a gentleman and seasoned statesman. We haven't completed kicking that APC ass yet and you are already crying and threatening to protest and resort to violence. You people are pathetic.

Octopuses do not have tentacles: they have arms).
Greetings my brothers and sisters. The two leaders of the various parties complained about violence but news confirms one's allegation. Is it fair that he makes his disappointment of such malpractice? Absolutely. We here must be willing to distinguish ourselves by adopting the practices we know are correct, appropriate and appreciable for a proper democratic practice by not subscribing to the very method we find inappropriate because we have seen a better practice that is admirable.
We must stop this sentimental euphoria otherwise, we need to learn more about civilization and how democracy works in these civilisations and what benefits they have derived from such practices as oppose to the one that the people's voice is squeezed in an attempt to quiet them on an election season.
I pray that you calm down to see that the new President, the Hon. Earnest Bai Koroma go to State House with peace and confidence to pull the wrinkles in our faces, thrust on us by S.L.P. misrule. That is what makes it funnier when we revert to the 5th. Century thinking of assassination for no apparent reason, when we do not even know details of what is going on but would want to be seen in light of those who know with such undemocratic and uncivilized mindset; while those involved are seeing and reading such Dark Age, hooliganism, savage mentality in what should be mind over matter.
Be it political or not, we should never tolerate the idea of killing another being just because what we expected did not work in our favor. Such toleration is barbaric, savage and untwentieth-Century-like. We are now in a global civilasation where, idea has or is it appropriate in this case to say should, overshadowed such mentality of brutality.
Come on, it is just an election. After the counting we are back to what we are and are good for. So why don't we embrace each other because until we know for fact that the goods are delivered, we must join hands as brothers and sisters because we are the ones that will suffer the brunt eventually.
Let us unite. United we stand divided we fall. I love you all, God bless us all.

The rebels entered Kailahun, undressed and raped our women in public, captured the young men who were members of the Poro Society, beat and amputate their limbs and forced some to lie down with their sisters and other family members. If the poro devils and their society were powerful, where were they ? The rebels even sodomized some of their members, an abomination to our culture.
I don't fear any Poro Devil or what have you.The God I am serving is greater than the Poro Devil and their members .

Rev. Kabs,
These societies have been transformed to haven of the devil to get even with perceived enemies. African cultures and traditions have been training grounds for manhood and womanhood before the coming of western civilization. I can recall when I visited my village few years ago, not been a memmber of the society to be, I was not allowed to view or see members perfomances- I was mimmick by teens who thought that I am a woman. Although humiliating and embarrasing with my western culture I respected their rights of association. The brohaha of the SLPP using poro or any traditional society to usher their shelfish means is a manifestation of the devil who has eaten their souls-they need liberation and salvation. Just as you said if they are powerful or posses mystic powers, the rebels AK47 and bazzukas couldn't have sent them running helter sketer for cover. They are bunch or cowrads and sons and daugthers of the evil one.

I agree with you that almost all of our traditional institutions didn't work but that does not mean mankind would totally stop believing them.
Africans have traditional things that remain with them for life. The White Man Poro i.e. An Armed Man will remain what most people fear..
Every Sierra Leone must stop and think about SLPP/APC living by principles rather than Block Votes (Etho-lingu/regional)..

*Will APC now be different from APC of yester years ?

To all my fellow SLPP brothers and sisters I say hold your peace and be patient. Do not give in to false reports and post voting propaganda. Don't listen or give credence to individuals who say they have spoken to this person or that person and claim they have election results. Let us be cool and wait for OFFICIAL results from the NEC under the capable leadership of Dr. Christina Thorpe. Please go ahead with your regular daily activities and enjoy your weekend. SLPP and His Excellency Berewa will be just fine. As a matter of fact they will be GREAT. Just you wait and see. Don't even post anything else on this forum. It's not even necessary.

Sister truth, you are deceiving yourself. If you think Kailahun and Kenema will bring victory for SLPP then you need to think again. Just go over the registered number of voters and talk to your MORRAY-MAN again. Have you heard of the massive APC defeat in the North? Have you heard that APC is humiliating SLPP in Bo town? Have you heard that APC is also doing well in Bonthe? SLPP will not get 100 percent votes in Moyamba and Pujehun. By the time the WESTERN AREA is counted you should have realized that the game is over. By the way did you read NEC's press release that this time around all polling agents should sign thei polling results. That tells you things are not as rosy as you.
Have you listened to Focus on Africa online and heard Berewa complaining that the police beat up his bodyguards? FOR WHAT?

The APC MUST contest the election results in all of those areas where the SLPP has declared APC NO GO areas. The results should either be VOIDED,and another election held in those areas with the offending SLPP party being taxed for the cost, or in the alternative if they cannot pay the cost of another election, then they will forfeit with all of their votes being invalidated.
Sometimes I wonder how these "Tribalists" can be so fickle. It is a known fact as sure as daylight that one to one the SLPP could kick the APC's Butt anyday in these constituencies. I might even dare to say that they could whoop a combined APC PMDC team any day. Why then would the John Benkamins, John karimu, Ambassador Foyah, and others act in a manner which they know would discredit the votes that they could legally get. The answer is simple. They cannot dare do that in the North or heaven forbid in the Western area.
If they were smart, what they should have attempted to do was create that same confusion in the western area or the north and in effect cause people not to vote which would more likely affect the APC than them, and then allow a free an unfetterd process in the East and South where they are more likely to get votes.
But the euphoria of power, has taken its effect and these people are inebriated with the drunkeness that it induces. Now rather than see a WHOLE NATION they see TRIBE. And they exploit it thinking that it would be to their benefit but in effect it is to the detriment of the NATION.
Early results reaching me so far do indicate that the APC is CRUSHING the SLPP ANNACONDA STYLE in Freetown and in the North where the SLPP had an equal right to campaign in a free and unfettered process unlkie the south east where SLPP hoods have baricaded polling stations and have used the whole day to illegally stuff ballot boxes to their hearts desire.

I just got off the phone with Mr. W.J. Smith, the APC National Secretary General. He complained that there was massive rigging .
"Since there are only 2 candidates, the ballot is smaller this time , like a receipt book. They were cutting 3,4 to 5 and giving them to their people to do multiple voting. They had a sign language. When their own people come, they are chewing gum or diamint.That is how they know he or she is one of them. They will tear out 3,4 5 ballots and give them to the person."
"We caught them out by sending our own person with him chewing rubber mint or diamint. They gave him 4 ballots. We have reported them to the Assistant Inspector General, Elizabeth Turay and the UN Representative Mr. Benjamin. They have promised to investigate."
Also, the Electoral commissioner ( East) told our agents to stand 400 yards away , which was against the guidelines. I confronted him about this .
COCORIOKO : Have they started counting :
ANSWER : We told our agents not to sign them. There is no way we are going to accept the results after such massive rigging.

No decent elite will ever use the word 'NASTY'to portray his/her position on the political process in our home country. If we start refering to the SLPP as nasty, then the APC is NASTIER from all intent and purposes.
We all saw an era of tyranny in the hands of the APC and we are not prepared to mortgage our freedom to a set of hungry looking politicians who want to feed from our national basket.
We agree, the APC and SLPP are two neccessary evils, but SLPP is a far lesser evil to the APC.

I just got off the phone with Ms.Yeyeh Sam-Sumana , sister of the APC running mate. She said the polls were peaceful in Kono and she was very thankful to the Police and the army for their excellent work.
QUESTION : How did your brother's party fare ?
Yeyeh Sam-Sumana : This time , we thank God. But the counting is going on and I dont want to give you any false figures. However, in the constituencies where they last beat us heavily, this time it is only by 3-5 votes. In the places we beat them, we are winning and the votes are higher for us this time.
QUESTION : WHO DO YOU THINK WILL WIN ?
YEYEH : From what we have seen so far, APC might pull off Kono , by the Grace of God. But as I said I don't want to give you false figures yet. If you call me tomorrow, I would be able to give you the real figures
QUESTION : Why do you think APC might pull it off in Kono ?
YEYEH: You must be here to understand. First, we can tell from the people leaving after voting. Secondly, you can know when most of the voters are your own . ALSO, UNLIKE THE LAST ELECTIONS, WE DON'T HAVE MANY VOIDED VOTES THIS TIMES, ONLY 3-4 IN SOME PLACES WHEREAS IN THE LAST ELECTION, IT WAS IN HUNDREDS.
QUESTION : Was there any violence ?
YEYEH : There was no violence. The Police and the ARMY DID WELL
COCORIOKO : Ok, Yeyeh, we will call again tomorrow for the latest .Thanks for this interview.
YEYEH : Thank you too

If you think that the only party that can win is yours, then let us get ready for some more years of violence.

We have already witnessed SLPP violence, tribalism and terrorism in Bo, Kenema, Segbwema and Kailahun.

We have already seen the cowering of Paramount Chiefs in the face of the bullying power of the SLPP political machine.
We have already seen the misuse of government funds to fund the Berewa election.
With all this and the determined SLPP efforts to rig, what will you do if Berewa is declared the runoff WINNER? Will you:
1) Throw up your arms and accept the results quietly like a good doggy, and accept the rule by Benjamin, Karimu, Kanja Sesay and the mafia?
2)Pray for the military to overthrow a fraudulent government and maybe give us a fresh start some time in the future? or
3) Go to church and mosque and pray that our lord leaders may have a change of heart and show some selflessness at long last?
So what are you gonna do when your country is once again abused by the most cold-blooded mafia outfit in criminal politics?

Accordding to an interview of Solomon Berewa on Focus On Africa this afternoon,he said that he is "devastated"because the pSierra Leone Police are siding with the opposition.He also alluded that this does not bode well for peace in the country.
My qustions to Mr.Berewa are:
Why did he not tell his Kailahun kinsmen that their behavior does not augur well for the peace in the country when they were preventing opposition candidates to campaign in their area.
How can the Police force take the sides of the opposition when they have clearly been spectators over the past weeks while your supporters harass innocent citizens and journalist.
Is Berewa trying to find an excuse for his imminent defeat.

S.Leone on edge as presidential vote count starts
Sat Sep 8, 2007 2:23PM EDT
By Katrina Manson
FREETOWN, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Sierra Leoneans waited anxiously as counting began after runoff presidential polls on Saturday, fearful of clashes between rival political supporters after a vote in which both sides complained of intimidation.
Voting appeared to have passed off peacefully for the most part but there were isolated scuffles in the capital Freetown and the opposition said its officials had been blocked from reaching polling booths in one part of the remote east.
Military police armed with teargas were called in to one polling station in Freetown as the polls closed to disperse an angry crowd which gathered amid suspicions that electoral documents had gone missing.
"When the results come the parties will clash unless they make security very tight," said Ima Kobai, 26, one of the few shopkeepers to have opened in Freetown, bolting her door as people ran down the street to avoid any violence.
A Reuters witness earlier saw police uncover a stash of bottles and rocks in the back of one car they searched.
The elections, the first since U.N. peacekeepers withdrew two years ago, are billed as a test of the West African nation's recovery from a 1991-2002 civil war, in which civilians were mutilated and children were drugged and forced to fight.
Rival groups of ex-combatants have clashed with guns and machetes in the former British colony since the first round on Aug. 11 in which opposition candidate Ernest Bai Koroma of the All People's Congress (APC) took 44 percent.
His rival in the runoff, Vice-President Soloman Berewa of the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP), polled 38 percent in the first round.
KOROMA FAVOURITE
Voting appeared orderly in much of Freetown, but the opposition said the situation was less calm around the eastern town of Kailahun near the border with Liberia, which saw some of the heaviest fighting during the war.
"We are very concerned about the situation in Kailahun ... We have not succeeded in getting our agents to the polling stations. They feared for their lives and could not go out," Koroma said after voting in Goderich, just outside Freetown.
"The people of this country will react to an election that is not credible," he said.
Berewa, voting in the capital, said he would step down quietly if voted out and said the situation appeared to be more peaceful after sporadic violence during the campaign.
Koroma is favourite to win Saturday's election after third-placed candidate Charles Margai of the People's Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), who split with the SLPP in 2006, threw his support behind him.
Koroma's APC party has already won legislative polls which took place on Aug. 11 amid disillusionment with outgoing President Tejan Kabbah's failure to curb rampant corruption and reduce unemployment of more than 60 percent.
Kabbah, reelected amid postwar euphoria in 2002, is standing down as required by the constitution after two 5-year terms.
Chris Fomunyoh of the U.S.-funded National Democratic Institute's (NDI) observer mission said it was too soon to give the polls a clean bill of health, adding observers were looking into the opposition accusations in the east.
"It is too early in the process to make judgement calls. We have to wait for the crucial vote counting and announcement of results to be able to pronounce on the process," he said.

Why should Kabs listen to a foreign news organ that doesn't give you details of happenings on the ground, only to receieve scoops from "them say" who are given few leones to gather unauthenticated news. Cocorioko- a home grown news organs provides incentives and receives from reliable sources even within the SLPP opportunists about the clandestine and diabolical plans which your party has initiated as evident with pictorials which BBC can not provide in their lofty hotels.

That goes to tell you folks that these SLPP people are really selfish in their thinking and they intend to keep us many years back under their stinking cloak of corruption, nepotism, tribalism and thuggery which we as a nation have lived under for the past 12 years or so.
By their votes so far, the people of sierra leone are casting their ballots for change.
As far as the SLPP goes democracy is is when it suites them. There was narry a voicer of opposition in their camp to the fats of segbwema whcih act itself speaks volumes about what this party is all about.
Within the next few weeks these RASCALLS AND SCALLYWAGS will be thrown out.

Tamba,
You are a ranting skeleton that needs flesh to be skewed in your rangling bones like the SLPP which has outlived its usefulness in Sierra Leone. At least a die-hard product of your ever forgotten and disgraced party has reasoned and will prevail as the next president of Sierra Leone (charles Margai). Are you suprised, you son of the devil carried away by promiscuity and a product of a bloodletting viper. The SLPP is a terminal disease or better still an incurable disease that has disgraced Sierra Leone. Tamba, why can't you smell the offensive odor which your party has fouled in the midst of civilized and intelligent people in Sierra Leone. You are doomed, be warned.

My hat goes out to Dr. Christiana Thorpe who is one of the few in the Elections Commission that is committed to fairness.
I hope the alleged stollen ballots have identification numbers for tracking purposes.
If they do have identification numbers, all of them can be excuded in the counting. Since the ballots are boxed and each box contain ballots with consecutive numbers all of the missing ballots can be identified.
Once voting has ended and through electronic counting ballot information is stored in a data base, a program can be written in SPSS language to excude the stolen ballots.
In fact through Access data base we can also excude the stolen ballots.

B ubba's sister is pregnant and is in a bad car accident, which caused her to fall into a deep coma. After nearly 6 months, she awakens and sees that she is no longer pregnant. Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.
The doctor replies, "Ma'am, you had twins - a boy and a girl.? The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them."
The woman thinks to herself, "Oh, no! not Bubba; he's an idiot!"? Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, "Well, what the girl's name?"
"Denise," the doctor answers.
The new mother says, "Denise! Wow! That's a beautiful name! I guess I was wrong about my brother. I really like the name Denise."
Then she asks the doctor, "What's the boy's name?"

Kailahun was the first place that started the rebel war in 1991. This was not only a disgrace to the people of that region, but a bad reputation for the peace loving people in Kailahun. This time why should they allow nonsensical politicians to use them again to flair violence. Is civilization far away from that part of the world. Do the people of Kailahun think we are still in the 70s where violence is the tradition of the people?

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Even for someone as gaffe-prone as U.S. President George W. Bush, he was in rare form on Friday, confusing APEC with OPEC and transforming Australian troops into Austrians.
ADVERTISEMENT
Bush's tongue started slipping almost as soon as he started talking at a business forum on the eve of an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Sydney.
"Mr. Prime Minister, thank you for your introduction," he told Prime Minister John Howard. "Thank you for being such a fine host for the OPEC summit."
As the audience of several hundred people erupted in laughter, Bush corrected himself and joked, "He invited me to the OPEC summit next year." Australia has never been a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Later in his speech, Bush recounted how Howard had gone to visit "Austrian troops" last year in Iraq. There are, in fact, no Austrian troops there. But Australia has about 1,500 Australians military personnel in and around the country.
Upon finishing his speech, Bush took the wrong way off-stage and, looking slightly perplexed, had to be re-directed by Howard to a center-stage exit.
But not before a veteran White House correspondent seized the opportunity to ask Bush whether there had been any new message in his speech. Apparently misunderstanding the question, he bristled and asked, "Haven't you been listening to my past speeches?" before turning away.
Bush is no stranger to the occasional faux pas, and often jokes about his habit of mangling the English language.
One of his highest-profile gaffes came in May when, at a welcoming ceremony for Britain's Queen Elizabeth II, he nearly placed her in the 18th century.
Then there was the famous incident at the G8 summit in St. Petersburg in 2006 when Bush, unaware he was on camera, greeted British Prime Minister Tony Blair with the words "Yo Blair."
Bush's sometimes muddled syntax and mispronunciation of words like nuclear ("nukular") have long been fodder for late-night TV comedians. But aides say his folksy style has helped endear him to Middle America.

Once again, SLPP is using native sons of Kailahun to brutalize that poor district. If Kailahun was such a stronghold for Berewa, why would they resort to violence and intimidation to deny Sierra Leoneans the right to freely express their constitutional right to vote? While other parts of the republic are peacefully voting, the outlaw native politicians of Kailahun are wilfully barricading polling stations, inciting xenophobic hate and prostituting a cultural bedrock of our society, the Poro Devil, all in a blind effort to deny a free and fair election.
If this nonsense goes on, I hope the tainted vote in Kailahun be declared null and void, a revote is ordered under strict supervision, and the rogue barbarian politicians charged with a criminal offence.

Information coming out from Kailaihun say that John Karimu and his brothers in arms have turned Kailaiuhn to a no go area. He has stock piled large amount of weapons to start another rebel war in that part of the region. The Liberian governmnet headed by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf must not allow Sierra Leonean dissidents use its territory for and clandestine operation in Sierra Leone.
The voters that want to boot the SLPP out are being beaten and persecuted by John Benjamin supporters. There is not a single agent of the opposition in the areas where John Benjamin and his armed thugs have declared unsafe for polling agents and party supporters of the APC and PMDC.
There has to be strong message to John Benjamin and his bandits that NEC will not tolerate their fake voting.

Sierra Leone: Final round of polls today
By Gibril Koroma - Saturday 8 September 2007.
Sierra Leoneans go back to the polls today to elect their next president in what has been described as a very tense atmosphere.
In the first round, Ernest Bai Koroma of the All People’s Congress came first with 44% of the vote and Vice President Solomon Berewa of the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) came second with with 38%. Since none of the candidates could get the required 55% to clinch the presidency as presecribed by the country’s constitution, there has to be a run-off election and our reporters on the ground say people are already lined up at the various polling stations in the country’s capital.
In a statement released yesterday, the UN top representative in the country, Victor Angelo has called for a peaceful run-off election and admonished the contending parties to accept the outcome of the results.
However things have not been easy for some of the country’s journalists as this assessment from Reporters Without Borders shows:
Reporters Without Borders is alarmed by a wave of threats and attacks on journalists by supporters of the two candidates in Sierra Leone’s presidential election run-off tomorrow. Many cases of violence involving members of the ruling Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) and the opposition All People’s Congress (APC) have been reported in the past two months.
“The run-up to the second round of the presidential election should be an occasion for the media to take their distance but the divisive, partisan journalism prevailing in Sierra Leone has fuelled violence and exposes journalists on all sides to danger, especially those who refuse to conform to political party dictates,” the press freedom organisation said.
“We make a solemn appeal to all political party activists in Sierra Leone to show, on the eve of the polls, that their victory will not unleash a wave of vengeful violence,” Reporters Without Borders added.
There have been cases of hostility and violence towards foreign journalists resulting from claims in some pro-SLPP media that the elections are being rigged by the UN and western countries. Canadian journalist and AP stringer Rob Mackie, for example, was assaulted by SLPP activists as he filmed APC candidate Earnest Bai Koroma and Charles Francis Marghai of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC) on 31 August in Kenema, Sierra Leone’s third largest city, located in the east of the country.
A few weeks before that, Katrina Manson, the correspondent of the British news agency Reuters, was thrown out of SLPP headquarters by angry activists when she went to interview the party’s secretary-general, Jacob Jusu Saffa.
The two radio stations that belong to the SLPP and APC have particularly helped to fuel the tension between their supporters and hostility towards the international community. The Independent Media Commission, whose job is to regulate Sierra Leone’s media, asked the two stations at the start of this week to “tone down” in the hope of restoring calm in the final run-up to the second round.
The party media themselves have not been spared in the climate of hostility and political violence. The staff of the SLPP-owned weekly Unity were the target of repeated death threats from 26 August to 1 September. The SLPP’s spokesperson, Victor Reider, said the journalists received threatening and insulting SMS messages on their mobile phones from people claiming to be APC members.
The staff of the APC-owned weekly and radio We Yone have been threatened in the same manner, according to Dennis Ayodele Smith, the head of the APC radio station. On the evening of the first round, on 11 August, the premises of Awareness Times, a pro-SLPP weekly that has been criticised for its inflammatory articles about the opposition and the local UN mission, were attacked by APC activists after rumours circulated in Freetown that its publisher was hiding voting urns there.
But the media most affected by the tension have been the independent newspapers, caught in the verbal crossfire between the rival presidential candidates. Several journalists are in hiding while others have gone into exile.
Olu R. Awoonor Gordon(photo), the editor of the privately-owned Peep ! Magazine weekly, received an anonymous call on 18 August from the mobile number +232 (0)76 314-613 promising him that he would end up as “dead meat.” Gordon had just brought a libel suit against the pro-government Concord Times weekly for reporting claims by two SLPP leaders that he was plotting to provoke violence.
At the same time, Tatafway Tunoe, the editor of the privately-owned African Champion weekly, was assaulted by the bodyguards of A.M. Kamanda, a traditional chief in the eastern city of Koidu and an SLPP supporter. Tunoe’s deputy editors, Idrissa Sillah and Mohamed Koroma, have meanwhile received many anonymous calls threatening them with death.
The streets have also become dangerous for journalists trying to cover the elections. SLPP activists used sticks to beat Ansu Moigua, a journalist with the Koidu branch of the privately-owned radio station Talking Drum Studio-Sierra Leone, on 27 August after he photographed an APC poster that had just been ripped by a group of youths wearing T-shirts proclaiming their support for Vice-President Solomon Berewa, the SLPP candidate.
This was just the latest of a long list of disturbing street incidents. Freelance journalist Hashim Tejan was roughed up on a Freetown street on 6 August, two days before the first round, because the T-shirt he was wearing was red, the APC candidate’s colour.

No, SLpp has put the internal control systems in place to deter corruption. APC looted the nation blindly with no thought of of the nation.

If any candidate tells you they will end corruption in their time they are fooling you. Corruption is Human nature. Right year in New Jersey, in REv Kabbie Kanu's backyard, they indicted 11 mayors and politicians for corruption. Even in a so called developed nation like there is corruption. WOW'

NEWS FLASH : MOMOH PUJEH, JOHN BENJAMIN, KARIMU , FOYAH AND SAM MACARTHY SEIZE POWER IN KAILAHUN
.....According to PMDC Chairman, Vonjo Lamin Ngobeh
The Chairman of the PMDC in Kailahun, Mr. Vonjo Lamin Ngobeh , has just sent out a distress call to the outside world, via COCORIOKO , that SLPP Politicians Momoh Pujeh, John Benjamin , John Karimu, Patrick Foyah and one Sam Macarthy from London have taken over the constituencies in Kailahun and are right now blocking all polling agents from accessing all constituencies ahead of tomorrow's Presidential Runoff Elections .
With the People's Movement For Democratic Change ( PMDC) stalwart , Hon. Dauda Tombo Bangura and the All People's Congress ( APC) Fund-Raising Chairlady ( North America ) , Khadija Sesay also on the line, Mr. Vonjo Ngobeh who was badly distressed and said he was on the way to the Commanding Officer's Depot to launch a formal complaint, said the four men have seized control of Constituencies 5, 6, 7 and 8. Mr. Ngobeh said the following :
Momoh Pujeh has taken control of Constituency 8 where he contested and there a lot of fake registration took place. . Similarly, John Benjamin , Karimu and Sam Macarthy have seized control of Constituencies 7, 6 and 5 respectively. All four men have declared the constituencies " No-Go" areas for the APC AND PMDC and polling agents. They are harassing all supporters of the two parties and agents.
Hon Ngobeh said it was a well-orchestrated plan from Freetown, also involving the Sierra Leone Ambassador to Liberia, Patrick Foyah , Dr. Sama Banya and the leadership of the ruling SLPP ."They have brought tribalism into the whole thing. They have gone to all the villages and told the people that if they allow the Temnes to come back to power, they will enslave the Mendes. .They have also distributed machetes to people and they have brought in the poro devil. Right now in my own town of Baiima, the poro devil is out and they are terrorizing the people . In Daru, the people have gone into the bush to prepare their poro devil too . They planned to use them to terrorize voters. There are problems all over the district ..Patrick Foyah has orgered that no APC or PMDC person or their polling representatives must enter the town of Gbawoyahun .The polling reps who went there were driven away and they have just walked 8 miles back to return to Kailahun, under the heavy rain ", he reported.
They are doing multiple registration and they want to tamper with the boxes. I am calling on the International Community and the Elections Commission to do something now or else no voting will take place tomorrow. They have also set up illegal roadblocks and checkpoints all over the district.
Mr. Ngobeh said the problems are widespread. He had just received reports that the APC and PMDC Polling representatives are right now stranded in Bo , on their way to Kenema, because all the vehicle drivers are being intimidated not to take them ."We have sent message to them to do everything to take Okadas to get to Kenema "
COCORIOKO has tried to get to Mr.John Benjamin but the telephone company keeps saying that all circuits to the country being called are busy.

On this eve of the runoffs, I want to extend my sincerest and kissful thanks to that hunky political giant, Solo-B, who is going to win the election emphatically with the much deserved 75% we the SLPP have been threatening for ever. I extend my commiserating arms to all the APC cab drivers (I don't want to be supercillious but all the APC supporters I have met so far in the States are either cabbies or former cabbies) because their dreams of an Ernest win is gonna evaporate again like the Powerball jackpot win so many of them so assidiously chase.
My dim-witted APC friends, why don't you learn from our SLPP hunks? We will win hands down 'cos we are not going to play nice. We are going to rig and steal the damn runoff outright. Look at the reign of terror our RUDE BOYS, Johnny B, Johnny K, Pujeh and Foyah are already inflicting on Kailahun. We are going to win every single ballot in Kailahun district plus 100,000 more as a bonus, and all APC can do is cry and whine to Cocorioko. Oooooh, we are so scared of Kabs Kanu!
We are also gonna rig Kenema and Bo districts like crazy, baby. Infact we will manufacture enough votes in the South and East to guarantee a win even if we don't get a vote elsewhere.
Don't even get me started about our plans for Freetown. That bastion of APC support will be on lockdown tomorrow as our thousands of Kamajor mercenaries work to pacify and sanitize the vote. We will get our 75% and there is nothing Victor Angelo or Ban Ki Moon can do. Of course the "international community is gonna be pissed, but they will get over it. Trust me.
Of course you APC Sillies will lodge complaints to the police. Woyo, Mi Mammy Tiday! Guess what? Brima Acha, the IG, our sweet loyal PEGGY will listen to you and without any irony at all will tell U the police will "investigate". End of case. Una Osh Yar!
I love you all my APC cabbies, but we cannot allow U and your Raray boys to kick us off the gravy train. Give us 20 more years to take care of business. After that we may think about maybe helping with some reconstruction or something if you, the lowly unwashed of Sierra Leone, behaves yourself.
May the sweet life continue for all of us and our handsome President with the sexy smile.
With hugs, smooches and my arms wrapped tight around you,
Henrietta.

Credible sources has intimated that Kabbah and Berewah has asked President Lassanah Conteh of Guinea to grant them assylum in Guinea. These request comes in the wake of dashed hopes of the SLPP government continuation in power more so as the people have spoken and the international community's stance of withholding aid and support of the corrupt government of the SLPP. President Lassanah is yet to confirm the request because he is afraid that the presence of Kabbah and Berewah whom the people of Sierra Leone kicked out democratically will have impact and ripple effect of his fragile and falling regime. However, sources also confirmed that Blaise Campaori of Burkina Faso has opened his doors to Kabbah and Berewah because he knows that these fugitives are loaded with diamonds looted from the coffers of Sierra Leone which he will ultimately have a share as he did with Kleptomaniac-Charles Taylor who is presently satanding trial in the Hague for his involvement in the Sierra Leone Imbroglio.

All hopes of the SLPP sustaining power is in vain. The people of Sierra Leone have spoken, the international community are withholding all Aids until a credible government comes to power. Consequently, credible sources has intimated that Kabbah and Berewah have asked Lassanah Conteh of Guinea to prepare the presidential lodge at Bellvue in Conakry where Kabbah sought assylum in 1997 to accomodate them for the last time as there is no hope for the corrupt government of the SLPP to continue in power. Lansanah Conteh is yet to confirmed the request of Kabbah and Berewah because their presence in Guninea will send a bad signal to his already fragile and falling regime. Other credible report says Blaise Campaore of Burkina Faso is contemplating in accepting Kabbah and Berewah because he knows that these thieves are loaded with diamonds that they have looted from the coffers of Sierra Leone and he will ultimately benefit from these bounties. Update of development on the assylum will come shortly.

SLPP Releases Notorious ‘Black Jesus’ and 12 RUF Fighters From Pademba Road Prisons
Posted by on Sep 7, 2007, 13:43
Fear and panic griped Hon. Justice Patrick Hamilton when he learnt yesterday 6th September, 2007 that some members of the Revolutionary United Front fighters who were found guilty of various offences by the High Court and sentenced have been set free by the government of the ruling party.
It was not only the Presiding Judge, Mr. Patrick Hamilton that developed fear of the new found freedom granted to the ex-RUF fighters quietly yesterday morning, but even prison officers and some sections of the public that can still remember the cruelty perpetuated on them by this group for which they were standing trial and found guilty.
Prison officers at the Pademba Road Prison were astonished when early yesterday morning they were informed that the remaining ex-fighters of the RUF are taking their exit “We were shocked upon hearing the announcement” A prison officer remarked, and questioned, “On what ground were these ex-fighters granted freedom?”
What also remained unexplained by the government was the reason for the release of the ex-fighters on the date scheduled for the peace march between the two candidates of the SLPP and the APC, Hon. Ernest Koroma and Solomon Berewa.
The ex-RUF fighters released include Black Jesus, Hassan Foday Fofanah, Mohammed Kanded, alias Crazy Med of Clarkson house, Tamba Mattieu, Gina Brima Joseph, Ibrahim Blango Augustine Bongo,Sidie Koroma Ibrahim Koroma, alias Isatu, Alhaji Conteh Momoh Rogers, Mohammed Koroma and Bailor Jalloh. They were found guilty of conspiracy, larceny to rape and robbery with aggravation and serving sentence from two to ten years

This is a big thank you to the entire Cocorioko staff for an excellent work during this elections period in our beloved country. Policy makers and other Foreigners get there information about Sierra Leone from this medium.
Rev. kabs keep up the good job and do not listen to ant distractors. On the issue of the runoff which is slated for tommorrow, I can say the SLPP is goin to win, they might not win it fairly but my gut feeling is telling me it is going to be rigged. i got to this conclusion because of recent moves made by the SLPP, like preventing Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma and entourage from campaigning in the south/east of the country. They (SLPP) have mounted a massive tribalistic campaign in the South /East by demonizing the APC. It is really sad because our people in those regions of the country are not critical thinkers to read between the lines.
All I can say to the APC and its supporters is the SLPP is going to mess up big time again. Let them reatin Ernest Koroma because his personality has got more voters for the party, I watched him on youtube and he is the right person for that country presently. I am sure they will win the next elections in the first round. On the other hand,the SLPP is going to be in turmoil by the next elections because the party base do not really want Solomon Berewa and he will want to cling on the the leadership, that will cause cracks within the party. Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal stayed in the opposition for over ten years, though the APC will not be for that long, let them just be patient and preserve our hard won peace.
Let me say this again with the likes of the Kailahun district mafia directing the operations of the SLPP, they have sinister plans for this runoff.
Thanks.

Sir, I respectfully disagree with you that SLPP is going to win the election. Winning an election and rigging and election are quite different things. I however agree with you that SLPP is going to rig the election, but that will bring their downfall because the only way they can do that is in kailahun. Check how many registered voters in kailahun and the most important thing is when the votes from kailahun are more than the registered voters, then we cannot allow those results. So it will be very difficult except with the help of NEC which is unlikely.

Few weeks ago I was informed that John Benjamin and others have given money to the people of Kailahun, especially ex Kamajors to regroup and disrupt any voting activity that will favor the APC/PMDC during the run-offs. One of the SLPP supporters told me that it was a propaganda news. Unfortunately, if what cocorioko is reporting is true, then my information was credible. If my source is credible, the other part of that is likely true. According to source, the SLPP have shipped a lot of ex-Kamajors to the North and West especially freetown to cause chaos during the run-offs.
Do these people believe they can succeed? The SLPP are doing more harm to them selves than good. If these guys do not allow voting to take place in Kailahun, what do they expect NEC could do? Throw those votes away. And if those votes are cancel who loose?

Fellows,
People will once again come out tomorrow to defy the odds and speak as loud as they can. Politicians and campaigners using tribalism to fan haterd in order to win the run-off will once again be disappointed.
Whether Northerners vote for the APC on tribal grounds, or the South-East votes for Mendes on tribal grounds, none of them will be doing good for the country.
Because we all know that no one region or one tribe can ever rule that country without the others, it should be time for us to start working against tribalism instead of using it to make people or regions become bias against one another.

I care less what the greedy SLPP supporters will say, the SLPP has stored lots of fake ballot papers and plans are underway to intimidate voters in some parts of the Country.This is not about hearsay, it is discernment. If the SLPP Unity radio will trumpet tribal support then one will see how far they can go, to spoil others.
Unity radio is now ahead to announce fake results before the actual official ones to stir tension. The die is cast. Now is the time for Unity radio including the APC radio to be banned from broadcasting elction rsults.The APC I think has a big weapon. Mr DJ lets the music play. (wap Borbor Belleh nah de Sunrise radio).
I say the APC must not only talk, but to play all Emmerson's musivc. Swegneh, the prediction that they will reah Waterloo. TThe SLPP inner core consist of JJ Blood.BIO, Karimu Benjamin and some some big guys ain't want to leave honourably. They and Berewa have used every evil act against the International Community, Christiana Thorpe and determined people who have been charged with the responsibility to show honesty to Sierra Leonean voters through propaganda.The way to come up proudly as the World is praising us is for the Police to keep the peace without any fear or facvour. They need to hel their poor Mothers, Fathers, brothers and sisters.
The Police have to show neutrality and perform in the sake of the British tax payers gesture to make Sierra Leone has a professional security force. This is the righjt time for the Police to give the people the chance to cast their vote without looking behind of whois coming to attack.
The sLPP can only succeed to rig th elections if the Police give free ride to John Bemjamin, John Karimu and others to roam with squad of ex combatants!
Tomorrow willl detrmine if the security force is really worth its existence. The Police and other cjarged to take responsibility of security must ENSURE that no INDIVIDUAL finds a way tohide ballot papers/boxes or being in a position to obstruct electoral laws as prescribed by NEC. I challenge any Police Man to give into Berewa machine dogs easy access to polling booth and electoral materials.
The SLPP is a dying serpent. it has an unmerciful way to poison the nation. So, the eyes are to be opened. Within hours, our people wil wake up again and know where they are going. But Berewa and his rogue gang are still failing to learn from history. As war crime hangs over his head, if he attempts to masscre innocent Sierra Leoneans.

Now its the the Kamajors hovering over freetown to launch a masssive attack should the APC lose. Next is the ballot papers wahala - when are you lumpens going to come to terms with reality .
Everything that defeats your narrow perception of life and realism has a conspitory theory . I wonder why some of you ever went to school. Even before the run-off you've all misguided your relatives that the APC has already won the election and that the run-off is just a political stage- managed in a dire effort of the southeasterners to place Solo in the Presidency . Not an iota of descency in your lies. You all know that its a constitutional matter ,but alas ! the APC cares less about constitution . Only descent and progressive care about others right to exist irrespective of differences .why are you moroons doing this the poor people just for your selfish ends . I'm unservredly convinced at this point that the only reason much of you never exhibited such a venom all through Kabbah's wrecked presidency was his northern origin ,lonta. Nothing more or less .

Education, when used improperly will have detrimental consequences on the very fabrics should serve as a socio-economic and political yardstick for measuring our country’s achievements as a nation.
The demeanor some of our so called academics replicates the very lowlife destructive approach that has been adopted by stone throwing hoodlums in the dark alleys of our nation’s capital.
This no-win attitude of dealing with the nation’s problems requires urgent national and worldwide condemnation.
Mediaeval policies of such disposition paint a gloomy picture of the homeland, especially when those stirring the brouhaha are could have chosen to be role models some of our young men and women could look up to.
The concepts of utility make it our duty to do what constitutes the greatest good for mankind and society. As educated members of the various communities we represent, utility makes it our duty to use whatever knowledge we have been blessed with in the interest of universal good. More precisely, it is it is an ethical concept colored with the ideas that burden us with the duty of doing what is right.
Alas, the reality the past mirrors sub-standards the trends of which reflect the opposite side of the moral values expected of our highly educated men and women.
"The intellectual advancement of man depends on how often he can exchange an old superstition for a new truth", says Robert Ingersoll. If as intellectuals we cannot assimilate or incorporate our ideas into an existing framework without destroying then our internal representation of the reality is a fluke.
The fact that many of those in today’s political sheep clothing are the very wolves that aided and abated in bringing the nation to its knees makes convince that we as a nation do not have much in terms of values.
Our good old poda-poda thinking has been substituted by capu-capu type wheel and deal greed that took us down the slippery slopes of Massaqoui styled chap-chapism.
Now that we stand at the crossroads of the nation’s political highway, it is time we take at look into the rearview mirror, learn from the mistakes of the dreadful tempest sank our country down the depths of the abysmal ocean of failed states.
As recovery efforts commence to raise the homeland from the pits of self inflicted destruction, new challenges should be addressed with the keys of common sense and reason. Only by doing so can we prevent past mistakes from repeating themselves.
As an ingredient of our Freetonian melting pot, rather than polluting our political daylight with the murkiness of tribal thinking, one would expect someone like John Mannah who was opportune to spend most of his lifetime amidst the multi-ethnic settings of our nation’s capital to preach integration and spread the light of the cosmopolitan flame in his tribal caves.
Doing so would have perhaps help him give his fellow tribal caves men a sense of what it feels to be an integral part of our multi-ethnical culture.
"Tell truth and shame the devil," says Shakespeare and although this may not discourage followers from down the tribal cave of disparaged thinking, neo-tribocrats should be shamed for the ugly ideology they preach.
Rene Descartes: 'I think therefore I am,' says Descartes, and if armed with PhD’s people continue to think like monkeys then one wonders why they choose not to living in cages.
The Kelfalla Kallons and John Mannahs should be named and shamed for fanning flames of tribal divide, the Sylvia Blydens for cameleon style Ninja games, and the Baba Contehs - Johnny Paul’s political goalkeeper and the AFRC mouthpiece for the corrupt individual and junta collaborator he is. See:http://www.sierra-leone.org/govt7.html
If history were something some of our so called intellectuals could learn from, then they would avoid advocating policies that would jeopardize social progress and take us back to another the decade horibills of mayhem and tyranny.
We should learn from the ugly lessons of Ekutayisms and not allow tribocracy to ever rear its ugly head in the politics of our country.
Shame on you John Mannah! Shame on you Kelfalla Kallon!

Ernest blasts Berewa for blasts Berewa for isinforming Lumley residents
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ernest Koroma
The leader of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma yesterday while addressing party stalwarts at their Hannah Benka-Coker Street headquarters, blasted Vice President Solomon Berewa for misinforming Lumley residents.
He said when Mr Berewa was addressing a cross section of the Lumley community yesterday he accused him of not committed to the peace march and that he had just left that morning for Bonthe and other parts of the country.
“This is not true because I am here addressing you. He was deliberately trying to misinform the people so that they will cast their votes for him, and also trying to paint himself to the international community that he is committed to peace which he is not committed to,” the APC leader noted.
Continuing he stated: “How can I take part in a peace march when my supporters cannot go to some parts of the country to campaign freely? I will not take part in such peace march when all things are not going on well and try to pretend all is well.”
The APC leader averred that they also got intelligence reports that the SLPP had released some notorious criminals at the Pademba Road prison to beef up its thugs for the runoff election on Saturday.
“The people of Sierra Leone are tired of the SLPP and Berewa cannot fat the pig on the market day. He has lost the election, and when I take over as president of Sierra Leone I am going to unite entire country,” Hon Ernest Bai Koroma concluded.

Well, if true ,then at least the people of the world can read about all the undemocratic stuff the SLPP is milling . But as usual ,i've a hunch over the least veracity of this Northern Star News bullentin . Any report from Segbwema ,Bo or just what can this APC marrauders have got to tell the civilized world about the Mario Conteh wahala . Obviously ,it was the SLPP rep. who went out with his 'hit men 'to kill Ernest Koroma and all the rest of the APC power hierachy in the north . You mean you guys just can't see anything wrong with this APC despite standing to loose the coming run-off due to its own silly hooligalism and barbaric tactics being employed to 'woe' voters tomorrow . I only hope that no one is going to slap Ernest Koroma and again tie up Bio or Mondeh for it, as with Nyuma in BO.
Even the election observers are astonished at the spate of APC violence despite leading in the initial national ballot . But ,boy ,monkey nar monkey yah -APC will always be APC unless Jesus returns to save its soul if it ever remain standing after tomorrow's tsunami .
With little effort ,Koroma's APC would have got the final say had the party leadership urged its sobel and RUF punks to desist from harrasing and intimidating peaceful citizens especially those from other parties who didn't vote for them . Such a pronouncement should have followed with the sacking of 'leather boot 'from Koroma's entourage and the immediate expulsion from the party of anyone caught or suspected perperating any act of violence against non APC members or sympathizers . Such a bold leadership would have undoubtedly endeared Koroma and his party to many in the South Eastern regions whose votes the party dearly needs to clinch a final victory. Ah! but the APC being the same old man remain fully sunservient to its violent modus operandi as the only way to win any legitimate elections in Sierra leone.
Certainly ,it's no hidden fact that the APC has been busy intimidating the SLPP strong base in its banal effort to thwart any strong pull by the amalgamated SouthEastern electorates who are bewildered by the voting results in the entire north . That besides ,the APC has readily ( through its narssisitic mis-education campaign ) prepared the mindset of its holistic followers that anything below winning tomorrow should naturally be transalated to nothing less than ' thieving ,rigging ,etc ,etc ), regardless of what the monitors will say . So the party is not actually entering the race with any intent to canvass for votes ,but as a mere formality since Mr. Ernest had 'earlier won the votes', and that the run-off was just an SLPP ploy to hoodwink Berewah and his party into the Presidency . What a travesty .
My guess here is that the intimidators realizing the backlash of their of terror campaign in the Southeast ,have already resigned to nothing but further violence as defeat ( as it happened to Weah in Liberia ) is glaring in Ernest 's face from all corners of the country. Until yesterday ,i had always maintained the absolute perception that academic accomplishment was a key to enlightment ,but most of my die-hard APC guys have proven me otherwise .
Tejan is not well prepared to handle the fallout from the cloud of violence engulfing the elections atmosphere ,so may i urge all peace loving patriots to pray and pray hard for tomorrow and the other day . Indeed a very challenging moment in our national history.

The SLPP Party is disgruntled, disillusioned and in disgrace. They are hanging on to the last straw for survival. The APC Sun Rays are blinding their vision, thereby profusely sweating with eyes peppered with their perspiration. Alas! it is too late to amend for their mistakes, APC will give them twenty more years to reform. PMDC, Charles Margai will be next president of Sierra Leone-we will stand by him, we will accept in the poro, gbanbani and orjeh societies because he is patriot and a true Sierra Leonean to look beyond the boundaries of sycophancy and tribalsim in which the SLPP championed their beliefs and policies.

"Sierra Leone: Dangerous Climate of Hatred On Eve of Presidential Election Run-Off
Reporters sans Frontières (Paris)
PRESS RELEASE
7 September 2007
Posted to the web 7 September 2007
"Reporters Without Borders is alarmed by a wave of threats and attacks on journalists by supporters of the two candidates in Sierra Leone's presidential election run-off tomorrow. Many cases of violence involving members of the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) and the opposition All People's Congress (APC) have been reported in the past two months.
"The run-up to the second round of the presidential election should be an occasion for the media to take their distance but the divisive, partisan journalism prevailing in Sierra Leone has fuelled violence and exposes journalists on all sides to danger, especially those who refuse to conform to political party dictates," the press freedom organisation said.
"We make a solemn appeal to all political party activists in Sierra Leone to show, on the eve of the polls, that their victory will not unleash a wave of vengeful violence," Reporters Without Borders added.
There have been cases of hostility and violence towards foreign journalists resulting from claims in some pro-SLPP media that the elections are being rigged by the UN and western countries. Canadian journalist and AP stringer Rob Mackie, for example, was assaulted by SLPP activists as he filmed APC candidate Earnest Bai Koroma and Charles Francis Marghai of the People's Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC) on 31 August in Kenema, Sierra Leone's third largest city, located in the east of the country.
A few weeks before that, Katrina Manson, the correspondent of the British news agency Reuters, was thrown out of SLPP headquarters by angry activists when she went to interview the party's secretary-general, Jacob Jusu Saffa.
The two radio stations that belong to the SLPP and APC have particularly helped to fuel the tension between their supporters and hostility towards the international community. The Independent Media Commission, whose job is to regulate Sierra Leone's media, asked the two stations at the start of this week to "tone down" in the hope of restoring calm in the final run-up to the second round.
The party media themselves have not been spared in the climate of hostility and political violence. The staff of the SLPP-owned weekly Unity were the target of repeated death threats from 26 August to 1 September. The SLPP's spokesperson, Victor Reider, said the journalists received threatening and insulting SMS messages on their mobile phones from people claiming to be APC members.
The staff of the APC-owned weekly and radio We Yone have been threatened in the same manner, according to Dennis Ayodele Smith, the head of the APC radio station. On the evening of the first round, on 11 August, the premises of Awareness Times, a pro-SLPP weekly that has been criticised for its inflammatory articles about the opposition and the local UN mission, were attacked by APC activists after rumours circulated in Freetown that its publisher was hiding voting urns there.
But the media most affected by the tension have been the independent newspapers, caught in the verbal crossfire between the rival presidential candidates. Several journalists are in hiding while others have gone into exile.
Olu R. Awoonor Gordon, the editor of the privately-owned Peep ! Magazine weekly, received an anonymous call on 18 August from the mobile number +232 (0)76 314-613 promising him that he would end up as "dead meat." Gordon had just brought a libel suit against the pro-government Concord Times weekly for reporting claims by two SLPP leaders that he was plotting to provoke violence.
At the same time, Tatafway Tunoe, the editor of the privately-owned African Champion weekly, was assaulted by the bodyguards of A.M. Kamanda, a traditional chief in the eastern city of Koidu and an SLPP supporter. Tunoe's deputy editors, Idrissa Sillah and Mohamed Koroma, have meanwhile received many anonymous calls threatening them with death.
The streets have also become dangerous for journalists trying to cover the elections. SLPP activists used sticks to beat Ansu Moigua, a journalist with the Koidu branch of the privately-owned radio station Talking Drum Studio-Sierra Leone, on 27 August after he photographed an APC poster that had just been ripped by a group of youths wearing T-shirts proclaiming their support for Vice-President Solomon Berewa, the SLPP candidate.
This was just the latest of a long list of disturbing street incidents. Freelance journalist Hashim Tejan was roughed up on a Freetown street on 6 August, two days before the first round, because the T-shirt he was wearing was red, the APC candidate's colour.
Reporters Without Borders defends imprisoned journalists and press freedom throughout the world. It has nine national sections (Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland). It has representatives in Bangkok, London, New York, Tokyo and Washington. And it has more than 120 correspondents worldwide."

MARGAI
His enmity with Berewah led him to create his own party. People could have waved him away but with 10 parliamentary seats he is still a force to reckon with. He has the power to make or break. His declaration of support for the APC was universally acclaimed. He made the best calculations at the best time.
HINGA NORMAN
He died of mysterious circumstances. The sherbro man who devoted his time, effort, strength, ideas and all other resources just to save Salone and reinstate the SLPP regime. The stigma of his reward is still looming over the SLPP and the backlash is still felt in all SLPP marrow. Such stigma compounded by the restlessness of his soul has resulted to a jinx which will ever remain with the SLPP and his being converted into a sacrificial lamb for no good reason but selfishness and insecurity of Solo Bee and a few others will ever haunt the SLPP.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
As disgruntled and dismayed as they are with the worst performances of a regime ever in living memory are hell-bent in seeing a change in regime. All aid of theirs disappeared into the SLPP black hole with no convincing explanation.
OPINION POLLS
According to renowned polls like Reuters and Gallup, the APC candidate who was widely perceived to be an underdog in the race and now a frontrunner, will soundly trounce the SLPP candidate like never before and the population sampled have a burning desire for change.
CANNIBALISM
This stigma is still haunting the SLPP. Many people believe the act has been gradually emerging in some parts of Salone with only a few reports made. Now everyone is scared that any more chance given to the SLPP will lead to a total resurgence of cannibals.
RITUAL MURDERS
This is also another cause for concern. There have been a lot of reports during the past years. People have been disappearing inexplicably.
THE NEW APC
Tony Blair came up with the New Labour concept and it worked big time. Judging from their performance in the first round there is not a single doubt that it has worked big time too for the new APC. The new APC has a new charismatic leader whose slate is one of the cleanest in the world and whose political presence is unprecedented and unmatched. The tainted veterans are now a thing of the past.
DISILLUSION
During the two past elections Kabba had two distinct advantages; one he was a compromise candidate in that he was a muslim with ties to the north and two he was new in view of the fact that he had never participated in politics before. In the former of the two advantages, the muslims saw him as a chance to have the first muslim head of state and voted en masse irrespective of region or tribe and in the latter people saw as hope thinking that he was an incorruptible new broom. The support of Thaimu in 1996 was a classic example of the expectations. There was an overwhelming support that saw Kabba catapulted to power. It was clear that people did not vote for the SLPP but for Kabba! But after 10 years we saw the worst and started crying “crucify him!”All the people’s dreams, the people’s expectations, the people’s confidence evaporated with unprecedented suddenness. I don’t need to mention why.
THE YOUTHS
The future of Salone became the most neglected by the SLPP regime. When it was the SLPP’s plan to destroy the youths due to insecurity or just a modus operandi to take Salone to the pre-colonial times only God knows. The forlorn, disgruntled, irate and abused youths become sick and tired of the system and have become so resolute in yearning for a change and have full confidence in the APC.
THE REBEL WAR SECRET
To some it may seem ridiculous, to some it may sound inflammatory or inciting while to some it is the plain truth. It is getting clearer everyday that the SLPP was behind the rebel war taking into cognizance the utterances before the first round and their actions during the run-up to the run-off. If we go back to history, it all started with the Dorgborwusui movement in Pujehun and one should not be surprised that the rebels entered Salone through the east. The SLPP prior to the rebel war was almost a thing of the past and the only war to get back power was to terrorise the peace-loving people of Salone.The people are determined to make them pay for their

Comrade Bai Bureh,
You analysis are in place and worth commending. The clock is ticking slowly and the day will soon dawn to the disappointment of the SLPP. Anyhow, politics will never divide us as the SLPP party has been doing to indigenes of Sierra Leone. The rule of thumb is we will need to re-educate these SLPP brothers and sisters of ours that we leave in a mordern world where egocentrism, individualism, and ethocentrism are things of the past.

This is a big thank you to the entire Cocorioko staff for an excellent work during this elections period in our beloved country. Policy makers and other Foreigners get there information about Sierra Leone from this medium.
Rev. kabs keep up the good job and do not listen to ant distractors. On the issue of the runoff which is slated for tommorrow, I can say the SLPP is goin to win, they might not win it fairly but my gut feeling is telling me it is going to be rigged. i got to this conclusion because of recent moves made by the SLPP, like preventing Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma and entourage from campaigning in the south/east of the country. They (SLPP) have mounted a massive tribalistic campaign in the South /East by demonizing the APC. It is really sad because our people in those regions of the country are not critical thinkers to read between the lines.
All I can say to the APC and its supporters is the SLPP is going to mess up big time again. Let them reatin Ernest Koroma because his personality has got more voters for the party, I watched him on youtube and he is the right person for that country presently. I am sure they will win the next elections in the first round. On the other hand,the SLPP is going to be in turmoil by the next elections because the party base do not really want Solomon Berewa and he will want to cling on the the leadership, that will cause cracks within the party. Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal stayed in the opposition for over ten years, though the APC will not be for that long, let them just be patient and preserve our hard won peace.
Let me say this again with the likes of the Kailahun district mafia directing the operations of the SLPP, they have sinister plans for this runoff.
Thanks.

Brother Chez, there is nothing to understand there. It is simply the same Sierra Leone busybody, simple lies that have no merit, detectable even without investigating them. Why would Mr. Margai ever say such a thing? From the word go, Mr. Margai was ready to dissociate himself from the undemocratic practices of the S.L.P.P. He did so for patriotic reasons rather than most insinuations many mean political heads are maliciously propagating.
He quit ministerial position with the S.L.P.P. because he could not associate himself with unpatriotic and wicked minds.
Mr. Margai stood for the truth when he opted to represent Omery Golly, whom the S.L.P.P. accused of plotting to overthrow Hon. Berewa. What I could not understand, and still can not understand is that, except one is virtually crazy, how can any one attempt a plot to overthrow a Vice President while the President is still alive and kicking? It is based on the many accusations made by Hon. Berewa that people were there to get him, falsely accusing them of treason so that they could take power from him, while he is a Vice President that scared me the most, which considerably reveals a dictatorial side of the Honorable Berewa.
His want of power, so badly, at all cost, is a cause for concern. He rigged his own party election for leadership for God’s sake, prior to which he had thrown people to jail claiming that they wanted to overthrow him. This was way before the elections started, and then he rigged the elections and has consistently employed every manipulative tactics just to get power.
There is a probability that the death of Honorable Hinga Norman was his fear, knowing that the Hon. Norman being respected in the S.L.P.P. strongholds and the entire Sierra Leone for that matter. That with him, Hon. Norman around and should he be freed; he could have served as a threat to his, Hon. Berewa’s candidacy because Hon. Norman could have revealed a lot of detrimental secretes, which could have implicated a lot of people. These are my deductions for the reasons I stated thus: Why didn’t the government advocate that he be sent to a First World hospital and why was he sent to Senegal just few days before his death? Did you know that Hon. Norman was sick months or years before his death? He was an accused not a criminal therefore, the government could have stepped-in to advocate treatment for him but they didn’t.
Mr. Margai has First World political ideas, which is evidenced in him showing his love of, and putting Sierra Leone first; standing for the change that is necessary for her betterment, by taking measures to change the political spectrum that is choreograph with a spiced-up hatred, intimidation, unjust imprisonment, divide and rule philosophy while the poor people; the voters, young children are the ones that suffer. We saw in event of Sadam Hussein’s trial that an American opted to represent Sadam though he was hated by America but the fact remains that he wanted democracy to flourish. This is what Mr. Margai did in representing Omery Golly. Never had it happened in Sierra Leone for a party representative to stand for a an individual accused of treason against his government but Mr. Margai became innovative as mentioned, by standing for democracy. Therefore, his support for the A.P.C. to free Sierra Leone from the tentacles of hatred as demonstrated in the volatility of the run-off is a landmark in his political wisdom in trying to remove such political climate, ushering-in a new wave of political thinking, base on patriotism and rationalization for the betterment of the country and for the respect of our country in the International stage.
A man with such a vision can never, I repeat, never say such a thing as claimed by my fellow compatriot contributor. As such, he must not be encouraged to fuel political hostility, which is currently being calmed-down, in a country that has just emerged from decades of brutal war. Our people must rest now haven been destroyed all these years.
So the above statement is fallacious, unreasonable without any salt of merit. Therefore, I second my fellow contributor that people must be very cautious in listening to writers like the one we are responding to. There is no message worth pondering about in his/her writing. It is basically a malicious propaganda aimed at sadistic manipulation.

Last message to all my countrymen, before the presidential election tomorrow:
May the Almighty help the poor people of Sierra Leone in our quest to get an honest leader.
When Mr. Kabbah won in 1996 and 2002 there was no outbreak of violence. The APC and supporters were gracious in defeat.
Hon Ernest Bai Koroma was the 43 year old leader of the APC opposition in parliament from 1996 to 2007 and he is now 54 years old and most likely to win the presidential elections tomorrow. There should be no outbreak of violence provoked or orchestrated by the SLPP who do not want to lose graciously.
I say that if Berewa wins with 75% or an unbelievable percentage of the votes he can stuff my Sierra Leone passport up his exhaust after which I pray that justice will come to him in a manner most swift since the skull of his head is no thicker then an egg’s shell. That’s my gut feeling for my country.
We pray for a peaceful election although rigging is at a very advanced stage and money has brayed all over.
My source still bleats”SLPP!”
We do not want to see a high incidence of “invalid votes” – whereby it is overwhelmingly votes cast for Ernest Bai Koroma that are invalidated.
The Police Chief says that the South is an absolutely safe place for anybody to cast their ballot.
The East in which the SLPP has erected so many physical hindrances to the APC and the PMDC remains a good reason for Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma not making any concessions to Mr. Berewa’s hypocrisy in demanding that Hon Ernest join him in a peace rally. Berewa should have first dismantled those fortifications and preached to all the people in the East who are doing evil things on his behalf whether on his direct instructions or not. Berewa should also have not avoided that debate.
John Karimu and Opongo Benjamin and Maada Bio and some of the hoodlums in the SLPP security apparatus had better behave themselves and KNOW that if they rig the SLPP to victory, as professor AKB has said, we will use ALL MEANS NECESSARY TO UNSEAT THEIR ASSES – because the people of Sierra Leone, every one of us, COUNTS and no one is going to impose themselves on us by hook or by crook just because they personally think that they are better than the one that the majority of the people want to choose.
May the Almighty help the poor people of Sierra Leone in our quest to get an honest leader.

Fellow Sierra Leoneans, the moment of truth is again here for us to choose between retrogression and progression. We've talked, cuss-cuss, attaked others and others attacked us in the past few weeks. All those things are now nonentities because the reality and future of our country is once again being put on our hands. Let everyone stand up and be counted. Those who need a continuity of the current situation in Sierra Leone stand up and go left and those who do not believe the country is going in the right direction and want a change stand up and go to the right. The roll call will begin at 7:00 Am local time tomorrow.
WUTETEH: The simple definition is a kind of political support like fish moving up the river. This means dont ask, dont tell. Ya'll just follow us.
OSAI-OWAI: Simple definition is it is hot and bright. This has a historical conotation. In the past they've misruled (osai) and things were very hot for the people, but in the future there are brihgter days(owai). A change of attitude brings a change of life.
So I'm going right. What about you?

GOD SAVE OUR SIERRA LEONE THIS 2007
By Alie Formeh Kamara
Are we witnessing signs of yesterday’s catastrophe?
Would someone please tell me?
All these posturing for power taste and smell like blood.
Are we witnessing signs of yesterday’s catastrophe?
When men in leather boots holding loud metals made our chiefs bow to them;
When thunder sounded incessantly without a single rain drop;
When baby’s cries beneath rocks providing hidden shelter meant death sentence for all.
Oh! How we walked and walked and walked;
For miles and miles and miles for safety;
And where the poor legs gave in became our new homes.
New towns were created and populated not along tribal lines
but along lines of physical fitness.
Babies, grand parents, and women all bonded together near death valley;
for they could not travel far enough.
Today villagers are just settling down
The rebuilt bamboo thatched roofs still have chlorophyll in them.
Even though things are not the same anymore;
But alas! The sky is quiet and birds can sing to me again.
If men in leather boots and loud metals come again;
And the skies light up and thunder roar;
Will I still have faith in my country?
Will I ever come back to my village?
Will I be lucky to survive?
You politicians be warned;
God never sleeps.

I have been doing some investigation. I have been trying to understand why few people among us have been attacking Rev. and Cocorioko .I looked at all the other newspapers online and offline and this was what I found :
The people condemning Cocorioko are SLPP supporters and the reason they find problems with Cocorioko us that the election is not going well for them. If the election was going well with them, they would not have been lashing Rev. Kabs. It is part of us to always blame the messenger for the message.
What I understood next is that Cocorioko says it as it is. Cocorioko does not color the news.This is the appeal that Cocorioko has that makes the paper unique and different from others. They say it as they see it, bluntly.No coloring.
I also found out that despite all their accusations, none of the paper's critics has been able to pinpoint one article that is not factual. When you investigate, you find that the story was true but Cocorioko was the only paper that had the balls to report it.
I also found out that Cocorioko publishes pro-SLPP articles.So where then is the trouble ? I found the answer.SLPP supporters are in denial and do not want to accept that the ship is sinking.

Mr. Kamara,
Nice try but no cigar; defending the indefensible is equivalence to trying to deny your identity in the face of being called on the carpet.
Since you asked for an example of an article in the tabloid that has not been factual; I will point you to one article; the bogus assassination attempt on the life of the APC leader, which received front page status in yesterday mornings edition of Cocorioko.
I challenged the accuracy of the article not as a partisan SLPP member, but as a Sierra Leonean who was offended by the flagrant abuse of journalistic power exhibited by the tabloid and its editor. To the credit of the editor, he removed the article from the tabloid’s site after perhaps revisiting the article once I brought my objections to his attention in a posting to the editor. Though I would have liked the tabloid to have retracted the story, I’m willing to settle for their taking down the offending article from their site late yesterday.
If Cocorioko stays with the facts and avoids sensationalizing its articles, I would have no problem reading some of its postings for their entertainment value. Cocorioko provides a valuable service to its readers; it should not however lose sight of one fact; some people form their opinions based on what they read in their local press! No amount of partisanship should cloud our collective view as Sierra Leoneans, that past the election, we would have to live with each other for the foreseeable future.

Politician,
Here is what I did; using the story on the Cocorioko site, I looked at other postings by this same reporter – this is called doing a content analysis. During the review a certain trend began to emerge: Firstly, this reporter is used to making claims about being “on the spot” when ever he covers stories. While this might look innocent to the untrained eye, it presents a real problem for the reporter. He may for all I know have been present at the SLPP office, however when he files his report, he comes across as making up facts to fit his particular bias. The operational question here therefore is: If the reporter was present at the SLPP office when the alleged conversation took place, why was he not able to identify a single eye witness who could independently corroborate his story? Was the encounter staged to make it appear legitimate?
The second red flag in the story was the reporter’s use of buzz words like “RUF and alleged assassination plot” to paint a reality that could not be verified. Similarly, using a person belonging to a despised organization like the RUF made any efforts at clarity impossible for the reporter, because he was now boxed into a corner he could not easily remove himself from – namely giving to his editors what would get readers attention. If the credibility of your key source is compromised you have no story. It would have been ok if somewhere in the article the reporter had noted that the source could not be relied on.
In terms of Cocorioko, their mistake was to publish the article without independently verifying that all sources were credible; that the story could be defended if challenged, and that the story could pass the basic accuracy test. That in the end was what I believe caused the paper to pull the story, because Cocorioko could not stand behind their reporter in this particular instance.

Bigtex, did you really read the article and understands it? It seems we read the same article but understand it differently. I understand that the conversation was not directly with the reporter, but with other people. After that the reporter talked to the very guy and confrimed that with him. The reporter mentioned some people that were present.
Secondly, using the words like RUF, "on the spot" should not raise brows. If the reporter is present at the scene he has to say it. I don't know why you have problem with the word RUF. Do you know that the SLPP have just released 12 convicted RUFs from prison? What is the motive behind this. Were these RUF wrongly convicted? If so there is a legal way to do that. You see the double standard in the SLPP? You despise them, your leaders hail them and free them from prison.

No we are not reading different stories; what is happening here is a matter of approach in reading the article. I am reading the article more critically while perhaps you are giving it a perusal reading. I have done a content analysis, while you may not have; so you see it is all in the approach.
Thanks anyhow for staying with the topic and not resorting to name calling like others have done on this forum!

Bigtex, my brother why bother yourself with a man who cannot help himself but to do his master's bidding. This guy has the nerve to call others blind zealots when he is the great,great, grand daddy of them all. Any man who has good moral qualities will think twice before insulting the good people of Sierra leone with his headline assassination story, yesterday. Thank God the youths did not buy it. They remain calm and ready to vote their conscience tomorrow. let's put partisan aside, we are Sierra Leoneans first therefore an attempt on the life of anyone of us is an attempt on all of us. Kabs-Kanu, where is your evidence showing an assassination plot was underway? You are one of those so-called wanna be journalist I called quacks. You don't listen, you don't learn. And please don't parade your so-called qualifications for me because they don't mean shit to me, since you lack common sense the fundamental qualification a good human being should posses. Yesterday, you rained abuses on me for daring to question the veracity of your assassination story. I let it slide because I don't want to be like you. When I realised that this is the third time you are foul mouthing me for pointing out your flaws I decided to give you what you deserve.....DISRESPECT. If you want to be respected, you should be respectful. The only thing you can do about it is to block my IP address from your forum because you are a coward that just can't face the truth. Who are you to call me a pagan? You don't even know me. I feel sorry for the folks that go to your church, if you have one because you will mislead them with your bogus stories. You better listen to the voices of reasoning like BIGTEX. LONTA.

If you choose to "hero worship" your so-called editor that is entirely your prerogative; however your response is very indicative of the mentality that you and your editor friend represent. Need I say more?
If questioning an inflammatory article is considered an attempt at discrediting your editor, you need to remember that people in a democratic society have the right to challenge laws, officials, and yes even editors when they err. So practice some democracy; stop being a hater, and instead invest your energy in making your paper credible!

To the extent that any such celebration will create an awareness in the people of sierra leone on the eviles of war, I concur with your suggestion and support it.
To the extent that the purpose of the celebration is to promote the ending of the war as an SLPP achievement, I am opposed to it, in that one cannot at the same time support and encourage an armed rebellion by providing it with men and materiels like the SLPP has admittedly done, and then be given the credit for ending it. The two are mutually exclusive.
The SLPP created the war, supported it and cannot be given credit for ending it. Many now present in the SLPP were on both sides of the war.

except of course if you factor into the equation, a Foday sankoh in the nush with a green bandana tied around his neck as a scarf, speaking to his rag tag troops and telling themthat they were going to take over from the APC and bring back the SLPP. (Thats irefutable evidence on VIDEO). Also facto into the equation the fact that during the start of the war the onkly thing that could save anyone or village from destruction was the placing of palm fronds on their doors and tying palm leaves around their wrists. That is also the uncontrovertible evidence on record at the special court. Further place into the equation that Foday Sankohs testimony before the TRC was pre empted by the government of the SLPP, makes one wonder why were they so scared of what he would say. There are many other factors that I could come up with but be satisfied with these my dear briother Moinina.

Credit for ending the war goes to the people of Salone for standing-up against the AFRC, and to the international community for their sopport.How can Kabba claim to bring peace when he and his colleagues were the first to race to Guinea before the mutiny transformed into a coup? Kabba and his cohorts should be tried for the hundreds of innocent people killed, maimed and imprisoned in their quest to reclain power. If his surbodinates in his security apparatus that administered the process that " ended " the war are being proscecuted for their acts in the process, Kabba must surely have his day in court.

The state of affairs of the people of Sierra Leone is nothing to be proud of. There is abject poverty amidst great and rich natural resources.
All poor statistics of the world, malaria, malnutrition, infant morality rate, hunger, illiteracy, low life expectancy, lowest per capita income, refugees etc.
1. SLPP minister earns $400-a-month, built three houses for $200,000 each and buys three cars for $20,000 each, sends his/her kid to a $10,000-per-year university in the US or UK, and their bank balance is still in the black. With such an ‘economic genius’, I wonder why we are still begging for food aid?
2. They drive 2006/7 model automobiles on 1930s roads to their 2007 mansions with 1950s power supply feeding their 2007 flat screen TV sets broadcasting 1970s ideas from the President elected in 2002.
3. Load Sharing seems to have very little effect on the economy. According to our government, the economy is even growing faster than ever before. Dig more water wells and let’s get rid of Guma Dam! Light more candles and let get rid of Kingtom Power station.
4. According to our Minister for Finance “37 days have September, April, June & November, all the rest do no matter, except February alone which cannot yet make up her mind on how many days it shall have”
5. For “Ending the war”, President Kabbah was mobbed when he returned home. Since “Ending the war” is now his greatest achievement in Sierra Leone, I’ll suggest we celebrate that day with big party every year.
6. According to the bible/Koran, Fornication, Adultery and Homosexuality are all sins. According to our government ministers holy book, only the latter is a sin.
7. We the people of Sierra Leone are being told that, the country is donor driven and could not generate enough revenue to provide light and water and yet for their campaign they were able to raise millions of dollars! No wonder 1+1 is equal to 3 in Sierra Leone.

If the ministers are driving 2007 cars on 1930 roads what did the APC do to fix the roads when they were in power from 1967 to 1992.
The country has always been donor driven. forunately the SLPP govt's good management of economy was recognized by the donor company and the govt was rewarded with cancellation of debt racked up by the reckless looters of APC.
Stop fooling us with the cheap propaganda. Most of the SLPP ministers were professionals who had earned money in their fields before they entered politics. Even , if there are a few corrupts ones, they are not as corrupt as the illiterates who wre omnipresentin prior corrupt APC

Mr Wurie, the minister of Education. Mandigo man corruption was in Sierra Leone before SLPP and will be there after SLPP. If any candidate , is going to tell you that corruption will end in their time in office,they are lying. There is corruption in the USA. Right here in New Jersey , USA they arrested 11 politicians for corruption and bribery, Some of officials were arrested for as low as $5,000. A govt can only implement systems to curtail corruption and severely prosecute those involved but to end corruption no way.
People are involved in corruption in Africa because of the low salaries and extended familly culture. Workers can not survive on their salaries. they are not paid a living wage . Salaries have to be increased to prevent corruption. That is why there are many govt workers being paid dollars in Sierra Leone in EU funded programs, Including john Karimu
I do not deny there are corrupt SLPP ministers,Is APC going to be less corrupt if the salaries are not increased . I do not think so.

For your information, Alhaji Amadu Jalloh, of the NDA believe in the process of consultation with his people before taking a decision as to which party to support. He did the right thing and there is nothing negative you can say that will change that. Those days are over wherein any political party will get the FULA vote by intimidation. Sierra leone, belong to all of us no more threats that you will ship us to GUINEA, if we don't support your party. Do you remember what happen when Mr. Sall was maltreated by your APC, under the late President Momoh. May be you were still breast feeding.

My wife is a member of a Fulla union "MUSIDAL" and guess what, all the members have relatives in Sierra Leone and they all expressed their disgust for the SLPP. They don't even see themselves being acquainted with Amandu Jalloh because they knows about his consultations with devil Conte in Guinea.

Vote for Solomon Berewa (SLPP)
- Friday 7 September 2007.
By C.Sam.
APC supporters and thugs are clamoring that they have already won the elections, clearly disregarding the constitution that stipulates that a presidential candidate needs 55% of the votes to avoid runoff.
APC shouts: "The ides of March has come." SLPP softly answers: "O Great Caesar but not yet gone. The runoff will tell."
I write to win over logical minds to vote for Solomon Berewa (SLPP). Mind you I am not in any way affiliated with Berewa. I am not related to him, have never met him or conversed with him. I have researched the two leading candidates and have arrived at the logical and non-tribalistic conclusion that Berewa will continue and improve on the progress, peace and development sustained by the SLPP regime.
Sierra Leone and Africa in general have a myriad of problems. I know most people are anxious about development that matches progress in the western world. Mind you most African countries are underdeveloped and are now on the path of development like Sierra Leone. However the development that we dream about and cherish is not going to happen overnight or through an Ernest Koroma Leadership.
APC borrowed huge amounts of international loans, squandered 90% and used 10% to construct capital projects. Remember, the issues of International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditionalities that we used to hear from the Momoh and Siaka Stevens regimes? Well, those conditionalities left us owing billions of dollars in debt. APC led us to an economic quagmire!
Luckily, President Kabbah and Berewa have lobbied western governments and 90% of that huge debt has been forgiven. Hence we can now embark on the journey of true progress that you dream of (thanks to President Kabbah and Vice President Berewa).
Bottom line is Ernest Koroma is not the answer to Sierra Leone’s woes. Berewa is a more law abiding citizen than Ernest Koroma and will listen to experts, uphold the rule of Law and continue or improve on the 7% annual economic growth witnessed and testified by the United Nations and international reports.
Ernest Koroma was recently a bystander to the attempted murder of Tom Nyuma. Ernest Koroma was in the room opposite Tom Nyuma and cannot tell you and me that he had no knowledge of his thugs almost killing Tom. How would you classify a person who stands by and watches or ignores others almost killing another? Ernest Koroma has condoned violence and is not qualified to lead a party or a country. The APC is the same party that condoned violence, oppression and brought Sierra Leone to the economic doldrums. APC just has a new driver (Ernest Koroma).
Charles Margai is an opportunist, a flip-flopper and has just committed political suicide. Charles Margai has deceived and misled his people. His ultimate goal is to gain power at any cost. I hope PMDC members will see reason in APC’s past misrule and history of violence, intimidation and oppression to vote for Solomon Berewa (SLPP) who has upheld the rule of law, promoted peace, progress and unity. Vice President Berewa has made it a point of duty to build schools, hospitals and roads in northern Sierra Leone without regard to tribal affiliations.
Ladies and Gentlemen, do not be fooled by the proposed alliance of PMDC with APC. The only person who would benefit from that alliance is Charles Margai. Charles Margai does not have the interest of Sierra Leone. He would do anything for material gain!
Under President Kabbah and Vice President Berewa, Temnes, Limbas, Fullahs and all have lived in peace and have freedom of speech. Even most Limbas and Temnes are now praising President Kabbah for conducting a free and fair first round of elections - something that Momoh or Siaka Stevens or even Ernest Koroma will never do.
The APC attacked Kenema, Kailahun and Bo in 1973 and 1977. The SSDs (APC security thugs) constantly harassed law abiding citizens in Kenema, Bo, Kailahun and Kono. In 1973, I was only three years old when APC thugs attacked Kenema. My late father and all his male counterparts in Kenema ran to the hills, they spent the night there. How traumatic for a three year old? Well, I replay that event every other day. APC is not a party to trust. APC=Violence + Thuggery+Oppression + Squander !
In 1977, APC repeated its usual feat: beat, burned properties and harassed Mendes or any who opposed. Has any Sierra Leone faction or tribe been mistreated by the SLPP? APC thugs are still committing violence around the clock as I write. Attacks on SLPP members by APC thugs have quadrupled in the past few days. The APC’s economic mismanagement eroded (devalued) our currency from 1 British Pound to 2 Leones to the current 1 British Pound to 6000 leones.
"Monkey nor blan lef im black han." "APC nor go ever lef im blak han". So, please tap your conscience and vote for someone who has not condoned violence and will at least preserve peace, uphold human rights and freedom and the rule of law. Peaceful Sierra Leoneans cannot trust a party with a history of violence, oppression and thuggery.
I am calling on all Sierra Leoneans who have experienced the misrule of the APC to denounce a party with a history of violence and join Vice President Berewa to sustain peace and improve on progress. Sierra Leone cannot afford a (minus) 35% retrogression. We need to build on our gains towards peace, human rights, freedom and progress.
Krioman say "know youself nor to curse". I hope that Mendes who make up 90% of PMDC realize who they are, where they emanate, what their fathers and grandparents suffered from APC Misrule and vote for SLPP. Remember, PMDC members, only SLPP can keep the peace, preach and practice the rule of law and uphold your rights as citizens of Sierra Leone.
Remember PMDC members, the first round of the elections have been clearly decided along tribal lines. Do not be fooled by Charles Margai or any other person or deny your heritage or yourself. Do not sell your vote to people (APC) who have manhandled you, your relatives or your parents or grandparents. Do not vote for Ernest Koroma. Do not vote for the same APC taxi that abused power for over 22 years. Vote for Solomon Berewa.
Remember the days of President Momoh when a few members of the sect "Ekutay" enjoyed the resources of the country. Well we cannot afford to go back to those days. We cannot afford to retrogress.
I am making a clarion call to all Mendes, Limbas, Temnes, Fullahs, Madingos, Lokos, Susus, Konos, Kisis, Krios etc. to unite against a party that will lead us down the drains. Vote for steady progress, Vote for Solomon Berewa (SLPP).

Sorry to say that I could not finish reading your article. This is because the moment I started, I was struck by some inconstitencies in your story. I believe this is just another way of disguising your support for your chosen candidate. My brother there's no need to do that as it is well within your constitutional right.
Firstly, you said you've researched the two leaders but have never met either of them.
Where was your findings based on? Are they from reading speaches by them? or hearsays.
Secondly, Berewa will continiue from the progress already made by SLPP. Can you please tell me what this progress is?
Thanks after your answer, I will then have more interest to complete ready your piece.

Mr Sam
You lied to Sierra Leoneans when you asserted that Berewa and Kabba lobied for the cancelation of debt. The truth is that the international community and realised that Africa could not pay thier debts. Why not give credit to Bob Gildof and other international star who fought hard and succeeded in getting the world to canceled the debts.
You have the cheek to call Charles Margai an opportunist. The man should be honoured for his achievement. No one has ever form a party in Sierra Leone and got 10 seat in just one year. John Benjamin and John Karimu who are terrorising the people in the souths are formed the NUP but they could not even win one seat in an election. Where are they now, they have highjacked the SLPP and are waiting for Berewa to die so that they can stand for the SLPP leadership.
The SLPP is not a party, it is full of individuals desperate for power.
I am a PMDC supporter, I voted for change and I will not change my vote for a million bribe from Berewa.
You talked about violence, the poro devil came in town in Kenema and attacked the non- mendes such as FULAS MANDIGOS TEMENE AND PMDC supporters.
Berewa will not be president. This country need a strong and health leader not a sleepy oldman who should rest in retirement.

Bra I'm not sure if these writers understand international finance. Having your debts written off is like filing bankruptcy because the borrower looses credibility (if we had any) and index points. Future lenders or countries will apply stiffer conditions and may be reluctant to offer a loan to the borrower. Check IMF conditions. It beats my imagination that our people rush to celebrate debt relief. Think about it, do you think your personal debt will be waived for free? Bra Read the fine print.

You are entitled to support any of the candidates of your choice and i must say that though i am in agreement with some of the issues highlighted your attack like many others on Charles Maggai is unwarranted.
If you have the god given right to support any party or candidate of your choice i see no reason why Charles should not form a political party or why his party should not form a coalition with another party.I am not a supporter of Mr Maggai but i am tired of these rantings and it seems you are all singing from the same hymn sheet.Charles and his party have not violated the laws of Sierra leone at least for now. As a nation that is what should be our concern rather than these trivial issues of betrayal and all these nonsense.Politics is about ideologies/policies that one favours at a given time and you need not belong to a party, you can vote for APC in 2007 and vote for PMDC in 2012.Politicians can also switch sides if it suits them which i have seen several times here in the UK.Your party's unfair criticism of Charles would backfire and only make him popular. Those who have experience in the game would tell you this.Instead your party should cocentrate on its own record in office and convince the electorates to vote for them.You cannot blame others for your own failures

Solomon Ekuma Berewa in his desperation to win at all cost has urged Kenema people thus to come out on Saturday "rain or no rain to vote in the SLPP"(Source AWOKO on line; posted 09/06/07)...
Ee betteh. Tok na free Bra, but panadol na Le 500.00 ENTI YOU BILL HOSPITUL FOR DEM.
This shows how selfish SLPP politicians can be. All they care about is their own wellbeing, regardless of who falls. Not bothered with the recent floods that made some Kenema people homeless, he is now pushing them to go out under an inclement wheather to vote him in, in a country where basic medical facilities are hard to come by. And he did not even mention how the people would be cured if they contract fever or other water borne diseases in the process. But he does care about the voters to "avoid void votes this time round"
WE DON YERRI.And we have heard such an heartless call before; from ALAGBA im sef sef (Kabbah). Whilst in his safe haven, Conakry, Guinea, the refugee president called on poor Sierra Leoneans to resist an armed, ruthless and dangerous SLPP in his usual hypocritical undertones "If na kassada sef una eat am, but una nor allow dem wan ya for get peace". Shameless! As if he had empowered farmers before he was chased by the rebels.

I t tells us that the tribalism is imbedded primarily in the Temne and Limba areas of the North . SLPP was able t o get in votes non Temne areas in Kambia and non Limba areas of koinadugu areas. It tells us there is primarily a TEmne Mende divide in the nation which has to adressed. If you do not see it Mandingo man , you are just as blind as the other APC fanatics who think they had a massive election victory with 44% of the vote.
please wake up and smell the coffee and cure you and the APC fanatics from Mendeitis.

I am the only SLPP member who refuse to believe that Cocorioko is a propaganda machine for the APC and that Rev. Kabs Kanu is bias against the SLPP. On many occasions the Rev.Kanu told me that the Cocorioko is neutral and it will be fair to all political parties.
Even when Mr. Sonny Moses a die-hard APC member, confirmed on this forum that Cocorioko is an arm of the APC, I denied him and I defended the Rev. Kabs Kanu because I trust his(Rev. Kanu)words.
Recently, the Rev. Kanu complained to me that members of the SLPP are not sending him articles to be published in his newspaper.
I then sent an article to him via email and called him on his cell phone many, many times to make sure that his received the article but he did not respond.
Luckily for me , I got him on his cell phone this morning. He told me that he was on an international call but assured me that he will call me back as soon as he finishes on his phone, but up till now he has not yet returned my call.
I demand an apology from the right Rev. Kabs Kanu. I am sure that he will agree with me that he should not treat in this manner.
I know that my brother(Rev. Kanu) is under pressure from the Satanic people of the APC, therefore,
I pray that God will protect him.
Have mercy on Rev. Kabs Kanu oh God,
according to your loving kindness,
and according to the multitudes of your tender
mercy, blot out his iniquities.
Wash him properly from sins and
renew a right spirit within him.
This I ask in the name of your son
Jesus Christ. AMEN.

EXPOSED! Conspiracy To Destroy Chief Electoral Commissioner in Sierra Leone
Posted by on Sep 6, 2007, 05:25
For weeks prior to the August 11 Presidential and Parliamentary elections in Sierra Leone, the public and a cross section of the independent media have been raising eye brows at the composition of personnel engaged by the National Electoral Commission for the on going democratic process. The public including some quarters of the media have been very suspicious of the activities of some key NEC officials including the Executive Secretary, Mr. Hindowa Momoh; Commissioner East, Mr. Eddie Nyaley and the Logistics Officer, Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi who are though to have partisan interest as appear to be working in order to achieve the political objective of the ruling party. These suspicions were earlier downplayed by Dr. Christiana Thorpe as unsubstantiated and without proof to warrant any administrative action.
Without the faintest knowledge that some of these officials were orchestrating plans to render the operations of the National Electoral Commission less credible and satisfy their political godfathers who probably ensured they secured jobs at the commission, Madam Thorpe has started realizing that if she does not take a though line of action her hard earned credibility and good name will be dumped into the gutter.
Just few days back at the Lungi International Airport, the Logistics Officer, Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi was suspected by police officers attached to the Lungi International Airport in an attempt to allegedly conduct himself in an unprofessional manner and when interrogated, reports say, he almost transformed himself into “Mike Tyson” of Sierra Leone. Police sources say, prior to interrogating him, they had received intelligence reports that he was not supposed to be at the Airport at the time, despite the fact that he was the Logistics Officer as other staff of the NEC had already been assigned to the Airport to receive the sensitive electoral materials.
Mr. Massaquoi was allegedly seen in the company of some SLPP supporters who admitted to police that they are members of the party and had gone to the Airport to witness the arrival of the electoral materials.
As if not enough, police also identified two private vehicles owned by the supporters that were driven to the Airport by them together with the Logistics Officer.
Without wasting time, a report was sent to the Commissioner, Dr. Christiana Thorpe explaining the behaviour of Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi and how he went to the Airport with some members of the ruling party.
In addition to information already sent to the NEC office, the Logistics Officer who was very desperate to achieve his clandestine objective, was also seen at the warehouse where the materials were going to be when he was not supposed to be there.
To many outsiders and family relations who are conversant with the behaviour of Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi; it did not come as a surprise especially where he might have been promised financially or where he had already received something in lieu of taking the risk.
A family member explained to this press how the Logistics Officer was part of a money doubling syndicate that duped him thirty two million Leones (Le 32 Million) he invested into his illegal business.
“He lost both the principal and the expected profit” the source confirmed.
The matter is still pending at the Freetown Magistrate Court number 1A presided over by Magistrate Adrian Fischer and Mr. Massaquoi has ceased going to court for fear that he would fall victim of the law, according to court sources.
Following a letter of suspension from the Chief Electoral Commissioner, Ms Christiana Thorpe on the Logistics Officer’s misconduct, dated 3rd September, 2007 a letter of petition was written and signed by two commissioners and other senior members of the commission challenging the decision of the NEC boss. They demanded the reinstatement of the Logistics Officer prior to the September 8th Presidential Elections. The joint action of these individuals did not come as a surprise to both the public and some members of the commission who already know their objective for getting their colleague reinstated before the September 8th election.
According to NEC sources, Commissioner Nyaley and other members of the clique are disappointed and would want Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi to be reinstated immediately in order to realize their political dream “Why are they urging Dr. Thorpe to reverse her decision?” The NEC source questioned.
Some members of the public have described their action as a complete betrayal of administrative protocols as it aimed at destroying the reputation of the establishment and Dr. Christiana Thorpe.
“Their intention is to present the wrong picture of her” A 50-year-old civil servant at the ministry of Mines remarked.
In the case of the Commissioners who signed the document, their action, sources at the NEC state are well understood. It is not known whether or not the demand of the officials would be positively responded to by Dr. Thorpe. Meanwhile, commission sources say the matter is currently under investigation while Mr. Mohammed Massaquoi is still suspended.

Are we witnessing signs of yesterday’s catastrophe?
Would someone please tell me?
All these posturing for power tastes and smells like blood.
Are we witnessing signs of yesterday’s catastrophe?
When men in boots holding loud metals made our Chief’s bow to them.
When thunder sounded incessantly without a single rainfall.
When noise from babies crying beneath a rock was death sentence.
Oh! How we walked and walked and walked
For miles and miles and miles
And where the poor legs gave in became our new homes.
New towns were created and populated not along tribal lines
but along lines of physical abilities.
Babies, grand parents, and women bond together near death valley.
Today, villagers are just settling down
The bamboo thatched roofs still have chlorophyll in them.
Even though things are not the same anymore,
But alas the sky is quiet and birds can sing to me once again.
If it happens again
Will I still have the energy to go on living?
If it happens again
Will I still have faith in my country?
If it happens again
Will I ever come back to my village?
You politicians be warned.

CREDIT AWOKO ON LINE
for fear of persecution Citizen FM 107.3 closes down
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“It has been deemed necessary to announce to you, esteemed and well respected listeners that your radio, the citizen FM 103.7, radio Kissy will close until further notice” reads a press release signed by Alex James the radio’s station Manager.
The release stated that the management took that decision after a meeting of the board and management.
The release outlined that during the last four weeks, especially after the August 11, 2007 general elections, there have been accusations of dissatisfactions with the radio but that they have found out that those accusations seem to come from politicians who were not happy with the professional way and manner in which they covered the elections, including announcing of the results, regardless of who won or lost.
The release also pointed out that they surrendered to Dr. Christiana Thorpe of NEC, ballot papers brought to their studio on voting day by angry youths who had suspected foul play by some politicians. They stated that they did that because during a previous press conference, Dr Thorpe and her team had denied any knowledge of ballot boxes having been carted away by angry youths in the Muslim Congress secondary school in Kissy, on the day of voting.
“To prove our point, we had to show-case the items, which by law, really belong to the NEC and so we had no reason to continue keeping them since we did not want our detractors to accuse us of anything funny” said the Citizen Radio release.
The press release continued that since that day, they started receiving verbal threats, and sometimes being told of some unethical text messages sent to other radio stations, mainly by agents of such politicians accusing them on flimsy and unsubstantiated grounds.
The release also stated that some political party supporters, under the guise of speaking as civil society leaders, have also ignorantly accused citizen radio of wrong doing without any investigations.
The citizen radio management pointed out that in all of this people will be surprised that on the issues of professional standards, ethics, peace and security of the country, the Independent Media Commission; the body responsible for the regulation of the media in the country has had no case against Radio Citizen and that nobody, or institution has ever made any complaint against them.
The release notes with distress that despite these high professional and national services they have been rendering to Sierra Leoneans, some political supporters continue to threaten their staff and send messages of hate to some radio programs against all of them with the aim of achieving their objectives.
They also pointed out that because they are responsible for some 30 young people and series of neighboring-residents who surround them so it is their duty and responsibility to see these secured and that since the presently the Police are being overstretched they do not deem it necessary to ask for any armed police to secure the community property.
As a result of all the above reasons the radio will remain closed until further notice.

Dear Editor,
Using your Freetown correspondent to corroborate your story on the alleged assassination attempt on the APC leader is incredibly naïve, and worst, constitutes a lack of proper judgment on your part as Editor-In-Chief, and more importantly on the APC’s ineptness at trying to create traction for a non event like this bogus assassination report.
As a journalist you have a responsibility to your readers to tell both sides of any story you cover. If as your reporter, Mr. Kamanda is claiming to have over heard “Commander Blood’s” account of the purported assassination attempt on the life of the APC leader in the SLPP office; he has a journalistic responsibility to demand answers from a high ranking official at the SLPP first to get his/her side of the story. If they refuse to grant him such an audience, he could mention such refusal in his report as justification for not having a response from the SLPP. He also has a duty as a Sierra Leonean to report the matter to the police immediately, as the conversation between him and command blood is not considered protected speech.
Instead, Mr. Kamanda files a report full of half truths and innuendos as facts, and ignores the wider implications of such reporting. If the rule of law is to be respected, reporters cannot be a party to a crime. The APC leaders’ life is a matter of national security; the democratic principles that Sierra Leoneans are fighting to maintain should rise above the level of partisanship when a crime is purportedly being hatched against a major political candidate.
Unfortunately for you and your tabloid, such reporting jeopardizes whatever credibility you may have with your reading public. Yellow Journalism like the one exposed here follows a tradition of sensationalizing falsehoods to keep readers under raps. Maybe you were out of class the day your professor taught the pitfalls of yellow journalism. Please get a copy of the notes from one of your classmates to ensure that you understand the ramifications of this brand of journalism. If you need reminding on journalism and political assassination, you need look no further than the cold blooded murder of Benigno Aquino in 1989 in the Philippines.

With talk like that REVEREND you really need to check yourself. Bigtex is absolutely right. You should have interviewed some official from SLPP with regards to what your reporter heard. That's what we call getting the other side. The real deal is you don't want the other side. You want to run and print anything negative about SLPP regardless of it's untruth. You are a poor excuse for a journalist and a JOKE for a reverend. What Bible do you live by? Have you heard of lying and bearing false witness against your neighbor? Rev you are a hypocrit and you are going to lose your soul over politics. I'm not going to say you are not saved but you are not bearing any righteous fruit.

No true man of God will see what is going on in Sierra Leone and be silent. Any man of God who sits on the fence at this time is not living up to his calling. Christians are supposed to denounce evil. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. If we don't speak, the whole world will descend into darkness .
My uncompromising stand against bad government, misrule, exploitation of the ordinary man by politicians and other evils is a extension of my role as the conscience of society.
You guys do not have the moral authority to question how I do it, since you have wilfully failed to look at evil and call it evil because of tribal, regional and other parochial reasons. You want to turn a blind eye to evil from one side and amplify the same from another. You are a disgrace to good citizenship and patriotic conduct.You are fighting helter skelter to have imposed on the people a government that does not care for their welfare and also rips them off , all because of tribalism. Isn't that a big shame for people who claim to have the best education ? To condone evil because of tribalism ?
If you have any moral values, why aren't you speaking against Awareness Times and the SLPP ragsheet which are openly inciting tribal war in Sierra Leone ? What they are doing is right because they are supporting you. If they were not supporting you, they would have been denounced.

How can a man of the cloth be so far removed from the tenets of his religion? I hope you could gather the courage to talk kindly in your summons about what it means to follow what Peter said to the Jewish hierarchy in Acts when the Pharisees questioned whether it was OK to include the uncircumcised gentiles in the Christian family. Peter’s answer was straight forward; why should the gentiles be burdened with the matter when our fore fathers did not have to deal with the same issue?

So Kabs (you are not a reverend) you mean to tell me that APC is the moral party? I will admit that SLPP is an imperfect party and they have made mistakes. Can you admit that APC has a history of violence and thuggery? What about its infamous one party system? Can you name me one accomplishment which can be attributed to APC in its 27 years of power? Under APC you could not exercise freedom of speech without the consequence of being jailed, injured or possibly killed!!! Free and fair elections were nonexistant under APC. So let us speak out against evil but let us do it across the board. Let us denounce every demonic act without holdong punches when it comes to APC. Siaka Stevens was Satan himself but you won't print that now will you? You are a HYPOCRIT. You are selective in your judgement. You need to stop calling on the name of Jesus and praising violent thugs who always have and will continue to anything it takes to get back into power so Salone can go backwards.

Yellow Journalism is when an opinion is skewed to suite a particular point of view. While the opinion may appear as objective, the facts as presented are very subjective.
Here is how the bogus report in Cocorioko presented biased/subjective facts as objective: In the article the reporter identify “Command Blood” as an SLPP supporter, however he provides no proof to collaborate this assumption. Since he could present no compelling evidence to support this fact; the reporter cleverly drops the name of the despised RUF as the group that commander blood is better known to be affiliated with. This is clearly the reporter’s opinion, but it was allowed by the editors to stand as fact.
Naming someone as a supporter of one political party, in this case the SLPP, and in the same breath saying that that individual belongs to an outlawed group like the RUF is not only sensational, it appeals to the most reviled state within our culture; therefore it will be proper to say this bogus article on the attempted assignation of the APC leader fall in line with yellow journalism standards.

ANOTHER PLOT TO ASSASSINATE APC LEADER
ERNEST KOROMA EXPOSED
By Joseph Kamanda
Alleged diabolical plans to finally assassinate APC Leader Ernest Koroma has been exposed. Former combatant , Commander Blood of the disbanded RUF , also stated that ten thousand West Side Boys and over six thousand ex-Kamajors from the provinces have been brought to the capital to wreak havocs during the peace rally scheduled for today.
The ex-combatants are also said to be in Freetown to ignite violence on polling during the presidential runoff on Saturday so as to interrupt the electoral process .This, according to pro-SLPP ex-combatant Commander Blood is being done by his party because the first round result were not released in the good interest on the ruling party.
Blood was overheard by our reporter discussing the matter in a local dialect with a reporter from ABC Radio Africa at the SLPP National Secretariat at Wallace Johnson Street; .The reporter , after listening for a while, intruded and Blood narrated the same thing to him. He also said : "This elections is ours. we are hoping to come out with more 55.5% in the runoff . That's why we doled out $ 25,000,000 to the Chief Electoral Commissioner so that she can help us win the election. " This, according to a reliable source from the commission , was refused by Dr. Thorpe. Last month the SLPP presidential candidate , Solomon Berewa was alleged to have gone with $ 90, 000,000 and a brand new land cruiser jeep to the NEC chairlady which was also allegedly denied by her .
Party officers at the APC national Secretariat said that they would like to see their leader Ernest Koroma parading in a peaceful manner with the SLPP leader Solomon Berewa but since the ruling party members and supporters have a plan "B" , of killing Koroma, they would not take part in any peace march in Freetown. Instead they would rather prefer a peace march in the South/East where SLPP thugs have been preventing the APC and PMDC from campaigning.
Reports further revealed that top SLPP officers have bought over 12,000 boxes of matches and dynamites which they intend to use in the early hours on polling day so that most people would not vote and also blame the APC for these atrocities.
WE HAVE PUBLISHED THIS STORY FOR THE AUTHORITIES TO NOTE AND INVESTIGATE IT. EVEN IF COMMANDER BLOOD MUST HAVE BEEN STRETCHING THE TRUTH, THE SECURITY SITUATION IN SIERRA LEONE IS TOO VOLATILE FOR AUTHORITIES TO OVERLOOK THESE REVELATIONS. .

Dr. CHARLES CURTIS-THOMAS Mr. Margai's support is purely democratic; it is in a virge to unite Sierra Leone because he knows that progress of Sierra Leone lies only in unity, promote democratic practices in Sierra Leone to ensure justice fo all as he himself has suffered from the tenticles of hateful injustice perpetrated by the government and the highest echelon for that matter: the political aspirant, Hon. Berewa who falsely accused him of trason. Therefore, from a classic example of offers made by Presidents of two countries and many S.L.P.P. members, which he overlooks to do the right thing, it is and should be said with clearity and confidence that his support for Sierra Leone could never have been motivated by selfish reasons but patriotic.

Margai extols Ernest
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Declaring his support for the All People’s Congress (APC), the leader of the People’s Movement for Democratic Change (PMDC), Charles Francis Margai, has praised Ernest Bai Koroma as a man of “sincerity, dedication, commitment and above all integrity which I cannot attribute to Mr Solomon Berewa.”
Making his statement at their party’s headquarters in Freetown over the weekend, the PMDC leader said their stance to “defend and to align ourselves with Ernest Bai Koroma is in the national interest as we are thinking of the future of our children”.
Explaining about the declaration for the APC Mr Margai stated that, “as I said sometime ago that the PMDC was born out of the desire of the people of Sierra Leone to bring about change… positive change in the political history of our beloved country “
And as the presidential run off, between the APC and SLPP, has been slated for September 8, “so we as a party have decided without any reservation to lend support to Hon. Ernest Bai Koroma leader of the APC in this run off.”
Support, he said, “doesn’t mean dissolution of the PMDC, the identity of the party remains distinct we are determined to lend our support to Ernest”.
The people of the country, the PMDC leader went on, had spoken that they wanted change “and Ernest Bai Koroma stands for change.”
Stressing further Mr Margai said, “during the presidential debate I noted that Sierra Leone had gone through a lot of unnecessarily harm. APC no doubt under Siaka Steven and Momoh did a number of harmful things but I dear say that the APC under Ernest Bai Korma is a different type of APC. I can without any hesitation compare Ernest’s APC to that of Tony Blaire’s New Labour”.
Continuing he maintained that, “I am placing my political life and career as from this moment on the vice that with Ernest Bai Koroma as the next president of this republic. We would all say hosanna. I for one would not stand idly by and see him fail this nation.”
Mr Margai urged all Sierra Leoneans to “put tribalism, sectionalism and regionalism behind us and this is what urged me to appeal to the membership of the PMDC to lend support to APC”.
Adding that, “never again will the North-South/ Eastern divide raise its ugly head in this Republic of Sierra Leone for as long as I live and even long before my death which will be soon.”
The PMDC leader then asked their party’s secretary general, Mr Ansu Lansana, to read a press release which sealed their alliance with the APC.
In the release, it was stated that another reason for the party to declare support for the APC was the spate of intimidations and harassment of their members by elders and traditional rulers which was alarming during the campaign period and as such, “there is no guarantee that should the PMDC lend support to the SLPP, these intimidations and harassment would stop as the SLPP has a poor track record of keeping promises”
Another consideration, the release noted, had been the performance of the APC at the polls as the performance reflected the desire of the people for a change in governance.
During that joint press conference on Saturday, the PMDC’s national publicity secretary, Mohamed Bangura, explained that after a closer look at the other political parties, “we came to the realization that the APC under the leadership of Ernest Bai Koroma together with us we can usher in the positive change that the PMDC is ready to enforce.”
Setting the record straight Mr Bangura explained that, “the PMDC is not a divided party as it is being rumored.
We are calling on all our supporters to come out and support the APC under the vibrant leadership of Ernest Bai Koroma”.
The PMDC national publicity secretary cautioned PMDC members that, “we as a party would like to inform our membership that the PMDC still remains the PMDC”.
In addition, the APC’s secretary general Victor Bockarie Foh started his speech by congratulating the NEC chairperson, staff of the commission and Sierra Leonean who exercised their democratic right during the elections.
Responding to questions posed to him by media practioners about measures put in place to educate people on how to vote, he said this time round APC would do any thing possible to make sure void votes were minimized. Also when asked how prepared they were for the run-off, he emphasized that he had confident that the APC would win even if they went into ten run-offs.
The secretary general appealed to the Sierra Leone Police Force to be non-partisan and allowed people to exercise their rights on voting day.

The new SLPP propaganda (nuse papper) online thenewpeople.com may soon be slapped with a law suit for copy right violations and article tampering. This is evident with the way they use other news media's articles to promote their agenda. On several occasions, I have seen a tampering or distortion of articles written by other outlets. For instance, this guy(s) are on a habit of changing the headlines of some articles. Reuter is one example that they change the headline to distort the main theme of the article. This is a violation that can land you to prison for a very long time. Guys, be careful what you do. We may disagree with your stands, but we don't want to see a brother man in trouble. Please read the laws before you attempt to play stupid games that will put you in trouble. Your desperation should not be a cause for self destruction.

Why is it that any time our people are ready to go to the polls the APC, will come up with an assassination attempt on their leader. In my opinion, it is nothing but to whip up the sympathy factor. If he fails to attend the PEACE RALLY believe me, I don't think he is really serious to be a leader of all SIERRA LEONEANS. As described by John Maxwell,"leadership is about POSITIVE INFLUENCE". This is a golden opportunity to show all and sundry that politics is not about hooliganism but a civil exercise of progressive ideas.It's ridiculous when you APC fellows are making the lame excuse that since BEREWA, did not attend the SLAJ organised debate, so your leader also should stay away from the National Peace Rally. Really, that debate was for a selected audience, whilst the peace rally is for all and sundry and far more important.
Actually the afore-mentioned excuse although very flimsy is better than an assassination attempt, which is an insult to the peace loving people of Sierra Leone. All you guys are interested in, is to spur your supporters to engage in violence again upon hearing that there is a plot to assassinate your leader. I hope the ERNEST, I used to know will not buy into such dirty politics of the OLD APC. What we want is sustainable peace that will bring about development instead of destruction to our country. The media houses like Cocorioko and Standard Times are not interested in such peace that's why they are always ready to make headline news of baseless rumours. That's the more reason why I always question the moral values of the not so Reverend Kabs-Kanu. For the past few days there has been calm and peace in our cities but such lies will destroy all of that. Some of us pray every day to make sure that our youths understand that politics is a game that they can enjoy without engaging in violence. It seems to me as if the APC can only win elections where there is violence otherwise why come up with all this bogus assasination attempts. Is this a prelude of what is going to come if they are declared the winner. Some of us still remember the bogus charges brought against our fathers and loved ones and locked up at Pademba Road prison just because they belong to another party. I am wondering if this is the NEW APC or OLD APC dressed in New clothing. It's really scary. May the Almigty allah, spur the SLPP to victory if we want to continue to enjoy peace in Sierra Leone. As Mark Sanborn, stated "past performance is one of the best indicators of future performance". The SLPP gave us peace and tranquility for the past ten years. To some of us going home and being able to travel everywhere without fear means the world to us.
Please fellow Sierra Leoneans do not listen to the satanic people that just want us to harm each other. Go to the polls on Saturday and vote peacefully that is your civic duty. Don't let the lieing liars feed you with their wicked lies. I believe Mr. Berewa and Mr. Koroma, will not plot an attempt on each others lives because I am sure they are all GOD FEARING PEOPLE. Take the good example they set a couple days ago by shaking hands and talking peace. Some of these people pushing you to anger do not have your interest at heart but theirs. GOD BLESS.

Sir, you have stooped belove Musa Kamara's level. Your utterances has brought you to a low esteem. Do you love sierra leone or you love Guinea. I hope you love both. Please be patriotic enough to see the suffering of our people. Even the slpp folks know the country is sinking. Their main arguement is not how the country is progressing, but "we agree things are not good for the country, but give us one more chance, we will change it". Now we've given these guys two consecutive chances, without changing the problem of the country. Is there any justification to give them another chance? Please convince the world why we should give the slpp another chance after 11 years. If the APC comes and mess up the same way, I will be the first to accuse them. I do not born in a party, but in sierra leone. I owe no obligation to any party, but the I owe obligation to the country. So the country and her people is my first priority. Let us think about that when we debate.

If you really understood the meaning of moral values, you would have kept your unprincipled mouth shut. What moral values do you have when you hear all these things and you know that they are true, but you keep your unsanctified and unblessed mouth shut ? Did not reputable foreign media like Reuters and AP report on the Segbwema crisis ? Did they not report it the same way we did--That the APC/PMDC Coalition were stopped from entering Segbwema to campaign ? When you read it, did you condemn it ? And you talk of moral values ? What about the violence in Kenema and Bo ? Did not BBC, Reuters and AP report the same thing we said ?
People like you will burn in the hottest place in Hell if you don't repent and stop this one-sidedness and blind support of evil. Right now, no other party can enter Bo, Kenema or Kailahun.Did you speak against that ?
You evil man, don't you know that this is the highest demonstration of exemplary moral values to expose evil and wicked plots ? Don't you know that some of us are the ones doing the right thing by not blindly supporting evil ? Didn't you read the pro-SLPP articles in COCORIOKO by Gberie, Jeneba, sILLAH AND OTHERS ? Show us any pro-APC articles in your ragsheet ? You guys are the beasts decribed in the Book of Jude.
Before you open your mouth again and question other people's morals, question your own despicable hypocrisy , unpatriotism , one-sidedness and blindness for which you will go to Hell , if you don't repent.

Why aren't you concemning AWARENESS TIMES which is outrightly trying to stir up the Mendes against other tribes ? HYPOCRITE.

Oh! Kabs, are you aware that you are doing more harm than good to yourself. Are you truely a Reverend ? I don't believe a man of God will be so sturborn to accept the truth. The difference between you and Awareness Times is that they never deny the fact that they are pro-Slpp. But you are claiming to be independent while you are not. Now tell me who is the HYPOCRITE ? Frankly, I will not entertain the regional or tribalism stuff you accused me of preaching that is not my style. If you had been visiting the SLPP forum, you will understand what I am talking about. The fact is I am one Northener who will not hesitate to tell anyone the truth when necessary till I meet my creator. LONTA.

It is really very sad to hear people dismiss things that should have been given a priority.
Mr Jalloh do you have any credible evidence that this claims of assassination plot to be bogus? I understand that you're an SLPP supporter,and part of your role is to discredit the opponent but to hear someone who could even be your saviour or a liberator of our country (only God knows at the moment)whose life is said to be threatened we should actually tread very carefully untill the truth comes out before we draw up conclusions.
Meanwhile, I'm sure you're very confortable with the corrent status of our country which is why you recommends a third term for the present government. I'm sure you're one of those who are giving the green light to politicians that it is ok to mistreat a country and still be voted back to power.
In real democracy, if a government failed to deliver, then it's time to pass the bug.
Your statement is rather hateful and malicous. Do you know the peace we're enjoying today could have being impossible should the SLPP lost the last elections?
I'm sure you have no knowledge of how the people of Sierra Leone behave in terms of power.

Mr. Yillah Sillah of the NAPD is one of the Sierra Leoneans who still believe in selling Sierra Leone for personal gain. It is clear that some candidates use elections for a business instead of winning. I was able to listen to most of Mr. Sillah's campaign speeches in freetown before the first round. This guys was telling his supporters or may I say his listeners that the SLPP government in which Mr. Berewa is the second man in command should not be given another chance due to their lack of interest for the people. He criticise Berewa for being incapable of leading the country. He said "If anyone from SLPP tells you they can do better than what they've done in the last 11 years is a lie".
When I read today that the same Sillah is now calling his supporters to vote for SLPP. I was amazed and realized people go to politics for business. Is this the kind of people we need in our society? How much the SLPP has bribed Mr. Sillah to make such a shape U-turn? Mr. Sillah, you've disgraced your self in the eyes of the very people you said to be fighting for. The people don't need your help. They are wiser than you. They will vote their conscience and not listening to a honey bee like you.

Your problem is about a southeasterner becoming Mr. President, lonta ! Had a proper northener ( like stupid and corrupt Tejan or ngor Abass ) flown the SLPP flag you would all have rallied behind him . You see your naked bluff about the tribal cha cha .

I wonder if you've ever come across a wise saying that ' anything that goes the process of change and comes out unchanged ' is dangerous ,reckless and unproductive .This is how most of you've utilised your western exposure and academic accomplishments .
Would you really mind telling me just one wrong of the APC that you've ever mentioned anywhere in your life .I'm not an SLPP member ,but hails from the southeast ,yet i would say without hesistation that the Kabbah led cabal was a failure . Come on boy , if you've guts.

Once again Cocorioko shows its tabloid press credentials with its latest propaganda directed by the APC, paid for by the APC, and aimed at fooling the people of Sierra Leone. Any serious news outlet would not have printed the so-called assassination attempt on the APC leader without getting all the facts, but print they did, as Cocorioko once again tries to prove its APC credentials while hiding behind its “impartiality.” Mr. Editor, printing stories without proper verification could land you and your reporters in court to answer libel charges. Your teasers are not just distasteful, they border on outright journalistic malpractice. Stick to the facts! The very nature of your source, a former RUF member, should have raised your suspicion.

The thing that gets my goat is your party always tries to kill opposition leaders in the South and East, just to senselessly add tribal warfare to your diabolical schemes. how come reportimg your party's uncivilized behaviour is called propaganda? i hope Cocorioko continues to expose your cowardly leaders!

Oh my God! Let me make this clear first of all, i am not a politician and i don't belong to any political party in Sierra Leone. Why do people always write about issues without properly analysing them as smart and an intelegent person?.
Mr. Bigtex, Do you really know Segbwema, or the road from Manor Junction to Segbwema? Let me make this crystal clear to you: Any ambush on that road is deadly. Where did that Ambush even took place? I mean around which town or vilage exactly did it occured. Was there any gun shot? If yes did the security guards of the convoy returned fire? If not why not? Was there a prove of any gun shot mark on any of the vhiecles of that convoy? If it took place inside Segbwema, how many APC members attached to that convoy got injured? Because i immediately called people from kenema who gave the accurate story of that incident.
I traveled all over Sierra Leone before leaving for abroad. I have fall in ambush four times during the war both RUF and Kamajor ambushes. If it is really true that those two political figures were target of the SLPP, they could had got rid of them before anyone could know. The most powerful tough commander (Foday Sankoh)of the RUF, they finished him and nothing came out of it. Freetown is not even a place anyone with some security or military experience could imaging an assassination to take place at this moment.
Even if the SLPP are not sure to win the run off, they won't want to go that far to take a guy like Ernest or Margai. Infact Margai's presidency is now becoming even more imposible. He need eighty perceent of votes from the south east, before dreaming about going to close to state house, and that is something which will not happened in even the next twenty years, more especially now that he has commited a political suicide by merging with the APC.
So please, brothers and sisters let us try and present alegations with at least some sort of proves. Politics is all about public service. How do we expect those politicians to work in the interest of the nation while the strategies they are using to gain power is been frabricated out of lies, falls information. If they get to the power they will not be a honest public servants.
The probelm with Sierra Leone media is that, they are all afiliated to political parties, so they are doing all they can to bring down their oponent. Take a careful tour on those online news papers you will realized that they have entirely abandone the code and ethic of true journalism. May God help them and guide them to the right part.

Knowledge of CDF Atrocities
283. The Commission finds that the SLPP Government was aware of human rights violations and abuses carried out by the CDF,through the role of its Deputy Defence Minister, Chief Sam Hinga Norman, who served as CDF National Co ordinator, and through members of the CDF War Council at Base Zero. The Government was further kept informed through its Security Committee briefings and through reports received from ECOMOG. Nevertheless the Government failed to take steps to stop such violations and abuses. The Commission, accordingly, holds the Government responsible for the violations and abuses of human rights committed by the CDF.
Arbitrary Detentions and Prosecutions
284. The Commission finds that the rounding up and detention of over 3, 000 (three thousand) citizens in the wake of the ECOMOG intervention of February 1998 constituted a mass violation of human rights.

Difficult question. Should those responsible be brought to Justice or be allowed to go scot-free?
Justice of course.
Once upon a time there was the Beoku-Betts Commission of Inquiry.
If Berewa had been really serious about commitment to” ZERO TOLERANCE FOR CORRUPTION”; he would have declared (the extent of) his personal assets. It’s possible that he is feeling embarrassed at not being in possession of very much that he can declare legally and so has chosen not to do so even as he has continued to spend what is far far beyond his salary , this past year and these past seven months in particular.
President Umaru Yar’adua of Nigeria is today a shining and confidence- inspiring example. This he has achieved by one of his first steps in office. HE HAS DECLARED HIS ASSETS!
In my humble opinion, should Mr. Kabbah’s anointed lose the presidential election, it means that the APC will inherit a much depleted national treasury most of which has been used as Mr. Berewa’s Campaign Bank , if we are to believe Hon. Toegondoe Sagbah.
Such being the case, it would be natural for His Excellency, President Ernest Bai Koroma to want answers to the question as to how the national treasury could be so empty.
There is the process of a formal handing over , the transfer of responsibility from Kabbah-Berewa , and I suppose that they will have to give an accounting and President Koroma will have to sign and acknowledge what he takes over....
The Auditor –General’s reports for 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and the very serious discrepancies found therein – ( large sums of money gone – gone missing or ”disappeared” , remain unaccounted for – and I am not aware that MR. Kabbah and his crown prince have been sufficiently disturbed or distressed by what is obviously a case of embezzlement or mismanagement - to the extent that they would have done what we all should normally expect : that they institute ed a Commission of Inquiry , to investigate how these leakages could have occurred under the watchful eye of the SLPP government.
The SLPP governments inadequate response to this grave situation of missing monies - there non-response, suggest that some of their august members must be implicated and would be implicated in such an investigation, and therefore the reluctance to pursue that kind of inquiry.
In my humble opinion, although it should be the duty of the new government to obtain a clear picture of what has happened – to prevent such leakages, I regret to say that should Mr. Kabbah & Berewa and some other top responsible dignitaries of the SLPP government be investigated, it may be perceived as a witch-hunt. There will also be an element of witch-hunting in the process even if the Judges are from the Hague or South Africa and Nigeria…….
Should such a Commission be instituted, I should recommend that it be manned, not by the Judges who have been recently decorated by Mr. Kabbah & the SLPP. IN my opinion it should be manned by investigative teams seconded by the donor community – to clean up what remains of the mess, so that new brooms can begin to sweep clean.
IN any case the international donor community is aware - and has been in despair about some of these”leakages” ........
There is a degree of complication – the extent to which there has been a collusion between some of the corrupt elite and some of the foreign bodies who worked hand in glove with then to defraud the country.........
Conclusion: Berewa & CO Ltd should not be allowed to”keep the change” which rightfully belongs to the people of Sierra Leone.
The ACC’s Mr. Henry Joko–Smart has vowed to stay on (continuity). My question is: To what extent has the ACC been an independent body?

Yes johnny, keep running your mouth.In a society like ours where illiteracy is high with well over 80% of people don't even know the mechanics of running a nation, no one can predict what will happen next. At the moment the state is like a volcano waiting to erupt. The day of judgement is here.Just keep praying that the most EARNEST of both candidates wins it all. It is no secrete that Salone is in bad shape but yet still you prefer continuity to change because of some kind of sentiment going through you. Salone does not need a 70 year old unheathy chain smoker that is deaf, dumb and blind towards our wretched state of affairs.The souls of the 24 soldiers, Chief Norman and the hungry but silent sufferers of Salone will keep haunting down folks like you and your slave masters in silent.

If the people choose Ernest Koroma, nothing you enemies of progress will do can alter that outcome.
I hope forumites don't assume tha your ilk represents all Southeasterners. Some of us do not care where you come from as long as you have an agenda of progress and development for all Sierra leoneans. Some of us do not reflexively oppose our fellow Sierra Leoneans simply because of their last name, or tribe.

I am not sure where your irrational exuberance is coming from. APC only need 8% of the PMDC vote to win. Remember the number of Berewa votes in the north far outweigh Ernest's votes in the South East. This was partly a result of the coattails of strong SLPP candidates in the north. Now that they have been defeated including my Ndemeye who lost in Bombali, they are now demoralized and will either stay home or are more likely to switch to the APC. Agree with me one of the reasons Republicans have been winning more elections than Democrats is that their base is more motivated. SLPP voters are presently in a state of shock and funk. If i am a betting man i will put my money on the APC.

I have received a variety of answers and flimsy justifications about John Karimu's reported eight-thousand dollar salary in poor Sierra Leone. However, no one in John Karimu's fan pool was sane enough to take note of the fact that socio-economic conditions in Sierra Leone mean a "well-paid" civil servant in that country should be different from his Western counterpart. Whereas three thousand dollars a month can make a Freetownian live in relative confort, his opposite number in, say, New York, will have to live on the same amount with a miserly lifestyle.
More notable, a nation's salary structure is determined by the economic capability of the country in question. Can Sierra Leone afford to part with eight thousand dollars a month to pay a revenue collector in a system without accountability? Like the string of useless ministries {Ministry of Economic Planning, for example} bleeding Sierra Leone to death, John Karimu and his "oily" salary are leeches sucking every ounce of marrow out of cash-strapped Sierra Leone.
A country that lives on the goodwill of donors should be hedged by financial responsibility. There are lots of John Karimu's with rapacious appetites treading on Sierra Leone's puny financial muscles with a "kill-the-people" attitude. Those comparing a "well-paid" civil servant in an underfed country to his counterpart in a capitalist economy are clumsy economists putting square pegs in round holes.
"Competence on the job" has never been part of Sierra Leone's national phraseology. There are no institutional devices to check John Karimu's efficiency. The man has been simply given an open check to pay himself eight thousand dollars a month as basic salary! His unofficial fringe benefits may fatten that salary to levels hurtful enough to stultify economic growth in Sierra Leone. And there are lots of John Karimu's in this government. Failed African states like Sierra Leone are sadly validating the racist view that once in power, Africans do not know left from right. Priorities are more likely to be skewed than proper. With John Karimu's capitalist salary in an agrarian economy that has never encouraged ACCOUNTABILITY as a mode of governmance, I am beginning to see where all the millions of foreign dollars have been going. We may stay poor, hungry and insolvent as long as idiocy continues to combine with criminality to make decisions.

You might be right. But the only difference between him and Said Jamil is that at least the government let you know what he is getting. And he will not take it out of the country. Unlike Jamil, who exactly knows what he was getting from our rich and most valuable mineral called DIAMOND?
John Karimu deserved what he's getting. He made a sacrifice to leave his expertriate job to go and serve his country. There are hundreds of qualified Sierra Leone abroad, seating down and criticising the system. If you asked them to abandone all the comfort in western cities and go down to Africa to meaningfully contribute to the develoment of their country through their knowledge, they won't do it. They even prefered to make three thousand dollars monthly in abroad than to make what John Karimu is making now.
Charles Margai is still struggling to become president, just as if without being a president he cannot serve or deliever good things for his country. Karefa Smart is another case in example, Throuhout the war as a well trained qualified doctor, with strong international connections, which NGO did he put up to campaign to donors for those children whom were dying in displace camps accross the country? He only came in 1996, after he loosing the run off he left again. Come 2002, he loose he left.

I have never seen a disingenious suggestion as this coming from a man of John Leigh's calibre. I read another article by a Sulaiman Momodu suggesting the same thing and then Lans Gberie. These guys would have had credibility if they had been advocating this idea prior to the first round. They are only trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the electorate. The people know that the power to effect change in their lives lie with the presidency. Stop parroting this nonsense about the virtues of divided government only after you have lost the first round.

TEMNE
A temne is a person that belongs to an ethnic group found in both mainly Sierra Leone and Guinea with Guinea believed to be the roots.The group has also a small presence in Liberia due to migration during the Tubman days and intermarriages with the Kroos.
Originally the temne ethnic group is found in the northern part of Sierra Leone but after several conquests they became dominant also in the western area as well as some parts of the south.
A temne is generally characterised by the following:
i)the islamic faith.There a few have converted over the yearsthe fact remains islam forms their religious background;
ii)the temne language which has minor similarities with sherbro,madingo, susu and fula;
iii)hospitality-one of the most hospitable of all tribes in Salone.The temnes like strangers in their midst and always make them feel at home.Because of their hospitality they always fall victims of treachery.After krio temne is the most widely spoken language in Salone and it is from the temne tribe you have the largest population of remixes such as temne-lebanese, temne-fula or sandas,temne-madingo, temne-limba,etc.
iii)Bravery or intrepidity;
iv)Consciousness-You can't take them for a ride
v)Enterprising-Most of them are either into farming,fishing or business;
vi)Competitiveness
vii)Versatile
vii)Cofidence
viii)Firmness in decisions and actions-Once they say something, they do it and once they start you can't stop them.
ix)Chieftaincies-From Bai Bureh's time to the present day temnes like to be chiefs.
x)Smartly-dressed-the temne guy has a good taste in fashion;
MENDE
A mende belongs to an ethnic group that descends from the Mande tribe of Mali.They are the main inhabitants of the south and the east.They had their own warriors but never conquered any land except the little they robbed of the Konos.
A mende is characterised by the following:
i)Megalomania
ii)the mende language which a modified version of mande;
iii)Cowardice
iv)Hunger and thirst for power
v)Selfishness-Everything for the mendes
vi)Arrogance-For the mende man everything mende is the best and vice versa;
vii)the christian faith-majority are christians though a large number reverted to islam over the years;
viii)Strict adherence to the mende culture with a weakness for the white man;
ix)Womanising
x)Productiveness- In contrast to the temne man, a mende man believes so much in the farm than the shop or market stall.
So Winakabs I believe this answers your questions to some extent or has helped a little.

Thanks but I have not the privilege to continue the discussion. Quickly, my angle was that there are people who are causing tribal tensions who themselves are not origin of these tribes. There are those who call themselves 'temnes' and propel others to cause havoc in the name of tribe. The same goes for the mendes who are not themselves 'mendes'. The few virtual outsiders benefit in such tensions.
What you have described above is a cultural-construct. A 'mende' answering the question will perceive otherwise. The tribe is a creation of a few powerful people of times back.
Yet nowadays, the word "tribe" is utilised almost exclusively in association with indigenous people. Part of this is historical. When Europeans finally came en masse to settle in parts of Africa they were already in their post-Westphalian concept of nationhood and sovereignty. They saw bands of africans and associated them with the loose concept of tribalhood in their own worlds.
African tribes to them were much like their pre-Westphalian ancestors. These "tribes" had no concept of statehood or sovereignty. To identify a group as a "tribe" was, and is, to acknowledge quaintness or give perception to an archaic culture.
The other reason is that contemporary Indian tribes are now actually nations. They are identifiable as tribes because they have their own identity, ironically, in the Westphalian model.
Our nation is a mix pot of every bit of the african continent. Sierra Leone, under French guinea was regarded as the place of heavenly riches - this happened 40 years before the partition. Clans, families, band of friends will travel from the north, south, east and far west to go to the place of heavenly riches, Sierra Leone, under French Guinea. When these families cling together the form a common design and that developed into a kinship which assimilates other smaller groups to have what the westerner (european) call today tribe.
Do you know about the Mampas and the sapes?

Oh my brother Shembu! I have been following the fighting on the forum about this and that tribe. the two main tribes - mende and temne - dominated the debates. i wanted to see how well some of us understand the origins of these peoples. My question was to make an assessment of this. Yes, the attack by Rev. kabs brought out the answer. i have never quarrelled and did not intend to so I gave in and answered my own questions - no the the fool. i will need Rev. kabs permission to go ahead and present a temne and a mende in the modern context.
Shembu, i am a temne by upbringing and travelled all over sierra leone mixing with other groups therefore cannot be a tribal bigot.
I am not one that shows-off. My quest for learning everyday makes me always think i am daft (Cornelius sourced it out) therefore cannot bluff to know anything.
I hate to see trouble amongst our people and therefore cannot steer trouble 'on this civilised forum'.
Forgive me Shembu, if you think my efforts to justify to Rev. kabs that my intent was not tribalism.

It is sad that you should suggest that my questions are about tribalism. My intention is to make people understand what the two are and that none has exclusivity over an individual sojourning it its territory.
i have never discuss or engage in diatribes on tribe or tribalism on any forum. Our people do not understand who a mende or temne is. until we educate them, we cannot know peace. The two are closely related and have similar origins.
Tribe is a fascinating word just in itself. It’s etymology is Middle English, from the Latin word tribus. Originally it meant a political division of the Roman people, representing one of the three original Roman families. Webster’s online dictionary defines it as: “a social group comprising numerous families, clans, or generations together with slaves, dependents, or adopted strangers” as well as: “a group of persons having a common character, occupation, or interest.” My opinion is that a tribe is a variation on these general themes. Tribes can strictly consist of families, clans and generations, as well as broadly consisting of character commonalities, occupations or interests. They are diverse. For example, all the poets in the world could consist of a tribe. All the journalists in the world could feel the same if they so wish. People in the military could consider themselves a tribe if they chose to do so. Nothing is set in stone.
Do you want to know who a mende or temne is? My questions have nothing to do with tribalism. The are meant to cultivate the known fact that both groups are of the same Niger-Congo family. They are distanced cousins in the family as the members adopted a tonal language belonging to the Mande branch of the Niger-Congo language family.
The forum is yours and I have enjoyed using it - not to create disharmony but bring harmony. have you ever seen me in any of the debates here centered on tribe - NOPE Rev.
Thanks but i do not think you should direct me to go to my forum. I have no forum - I try to make my stay comfortable in every forum.
Votre indépendance individu-acclamée m'incite à venir à votre forum. Is it a bad thing to come to a forum that has praises for being independent?
I am sorry if you misunderstood me. I do not fan tribalism. I abhor those who practice it - I do this with subtlety

I don't see a post here Kabs by any one named Kabia with regards to the question. I believe you are doing the right thing naming people who post inciteful stuff but hide under alliases by their names when you know them.

The Good Rev. exposed my cover long time ago. Chez Winakabs Europe is not a cover - it is my other name in professional circles meaning - winston alusine kabia in europe. The winakabs is an acronym of winston alusine kabia:
win - winston
a - alusine
kabs - kabia's
Chez - a french word meaning to, at, his, theirs
europe - is my present domicile that is well with me.
I did use Truth for years to take advantage of the independence I assume was on this forum. I was uncovered and my rights were violated.
I have nothing to gain by posting "inciteful stuff". I love my country and my people. if what I was trying to do is perceived as inciteful, I implore to withdraw and ask that those who are offended forgive me. i had no such intention other than trying to understand how well we know ourselves. History was taken away and is now hidden in the west - only those who search may understand. majority of our people do not have such resources to search. the few who know should help pass on the message that we are all one.

Kabia, borbor fraid God ! ! ! ! Nobody exposed your cover. You introduced yourself on this forum once when people queried you about your strange name.
We do not have the capacity to know who posts on this forum. We only know when contributors themselves blow their own cover or write us private mails to have certain posts deleted or to have their IPs reinstated. Even then, we do not keep these letters.We delete them. We have
