Barack OBama supporters in Sierra Leone express dismay at …
Cocorioko, Sierra Leone 
We believe that Senator Mccain is aware of the fact that this time the Presidency of the World’s greatest nation belongs to Barack Obama. For us Sierra Leoneans, the choice of Obama by the Democratic Party should guide us in changing our attitudes and behaviours that have degenerated the negative ethnic perspectives which provided the premises for some of our fellow Sierra Leoneans to undermine the political stability, developmental prospects and good quality leadership in our beloved country. Neither ethnicity, nor regionalism nor nepotism will help Sierra Leone to develop, but a sense of nationalism and ability to choose the right leaders this country needs. The association totally condemns and despises the planned assassination of Obama and the other African Americans as unholy and irresponsible 7A Black Hall Road, Kissy, Freetown.

The document quoted Mr. Kabbah as saying that fighters loyal to the Liberian dissident group, ULIMO, under the command of one Brigadier David Livingstone Bropleh were incorporated into the Sierra Leone security forces and renamed Special Task Force. Anyah asked the 72nd Prosecution witness, Alpha Jalloh if he knew those who amputated him on January 18, 1999 were ULIMO fighters. The witness denied knowing which faction they fought for, but stressed that they were Liberian soldiers.

Reforming Public Land Management in Sierra Leone
Standard Times Press, Sierra Leone 
In the case of Sierra Leone, it is the Ministry of Lands Country planning and the Environment. Those budgets should generally reward public-land managers for losing money on environmentally destructive activities. Well-trained managers with the best of intentions end up responding to those rewards rather than managing the land in the best possible way. The results are familiar: below-cost activities, shortages of valuable resources, user conflicts, and bureaucratic bloat. Public land controversies and problems will be resolved only when the budgetary rewards are changed.
