I am still hopeful this guy will get a position. His performance record is just too good enough to be ignored. This is the guy that Sierra Leone needs right now in important places. In his previous positions, I've watched him reach the heights where others have never reached. The momentum is just right for such people to be in a government with such positive speculations.

""us", "we"? I thought I was responding to you MIRROR."
Londoner, sadly, that is yet another example of your seemingly chronic problem of incomprehension. What you fail to understand is the simple fact that I am not the only one who reads your misapprehensions when you respond to me on Cocorioko! Hence, as I correctly stated but which predictably escaped your comprehension, "we" read your porous opinions that you inflict upon "us." Comprenez vous? I hope my attempt to help you finally understand what you read is not "pointless."
Out of my kindness, I had chosen to ignore your transparently porous implied opinion that the victims of Africa's corrupt leaders are themselves corrupt because they "go for months without pay and still manage to make ends meet." However, since you insist upon my reply, let me ask you the one question that should have steered you away from your factually and logically flawed statement, namely:
If, as you claim, each and every one of the millions of Sierra Leoneans who are victims of SL's corrupt leaders are unaffected because they replace the money looted from them by becoming corrupt themselves, why do they keep getting poorer and are perennially ranked among the poorest people on earth?

It's a good question.
President Koroma himself has a background in Economics, knows the importance of the minister of Finace in any government, has been talking about kick starting the econmomy and it's reasonable to suppose that with all the human material available to him he would make a good choice and has made a good choice in appointing David Carew to the finance portfolio.
Are you aware of the miracles that Benjamin Netanyahu, the minister of finance in the current government and presently the leader of LIKUD has performed on Israel's economy?

I was looking at the alleged charges against former President Kabbah and Sierra Leone in the courts in Abuja. 146 counts!!! It's such a shame. The reason it's a shame is because African heads of state have not learned to exit gracefully. They have to leave under a veil of disgrace. Why? Is power that seductive? It can't be money alone. You can only drive one car or live in one house at a time. Is it the male ego that won't allow them to relent? I know that I come into the discussion with a western perspective, but do they ever think about their legacy? One of the things the US presidents know is in store once they leave office is their presidential library or some similar structure. One of the finest examples of this is the Carter Center in Atlanta. This is an incredicle place that helps to address issues such as peace and conflict resolution. Plus he spearheaded Habitat for Humanity which is now an international program addressing affordable housing issues around the world. When the Tsunami hit Indonesia several years ago, the first Bush and Clinton went on a major fundraising campaign together for the sake of that cause; even though they would ordinarly oppose one another. They leave something to their people that will last even after they are no longer here. Maybe too much of the colonial mentality still lingers which has turned into self loathing. These people want to be rulers but they don't want to provide for their people properly. What is the pride in being the president of a country where you're dead last or second to last in all international quality of life indicators? Who will think highly of you when they know the natural resources that lie within your borders, yet your people are in such poverty? Most of all, how do you sleep at night knowing you have betrayed the trust of millions of people. Not just your own, but those of the people of countries who gave in earnest expecting outcomes. As this administration looks at its first 100 days, part of the new minister orientation needs to be a mission statement. One that says never again will we have leaders who are not servants. Never again will we be last on the index. Never again will we betray the trust of our fellow countrymen. Lastly, never again will we bring shame and disgrace to our country by being leaders who don't have integrity. As I read the list of charges from the 146, I felt a mixture of sadness and gladness. Sad because of all that has happened, but glad that a new day has come and there is the possibility to move on and become a model state.

Did Alpha Wurie paid millions of leones to the APC ?
If this rumour is true I do not foresee Ernest taken any action against Alpha Wurie for any alleged embezzlement.
Alpha Wurie should be made to account for every penny he embezzled. The Uk should be asked for him to be extradited and surely that application will be granted. It is sad that many Sierra Leoneans struggle to pay fees for their family members while Alpha and his family take regular visits each year to the UK and they drive a brand new jeep with current registration number.
There is no way Alpha Wurie should have been able to purchase this property in the UK when he has not even worked in the UK. Minister's salaries in Sierra Leone is not fat enough to enable Alpha to purchase this sort of property neither fat enough to purchase any other type of property in the UK. The newspapers in the UK should be approached and I can assure Ernest that they will give him the biggest publicity that will force the British Authorities to send him back to Sierra Leone.
He would not succeed in claiming political asylum because the Geneva Convetion would not protect him if he is wanted for a crime.
Ernest Koroma will be applauded if for once he could get this man to account for every penny he stole from the government. Why should he be allowed to live in paradise enjoying the stolen money when the masses are suffering?
I urge all Sierra Leoneans to take up this matter. We should all fight to get this man to be sent back to Sierra Leone. It is even rumoured that his son came with a scholarship to the UK. Mr President, should you fail to request for his extradition it would be seen as a confirmation that Alpha actually paid some money to the APC something some of us would not want to believe.

Black Market Premia, Exchange Rate Unification, and Inflation in Sub-Saharan Africa
Brian Pinto
The author is a senior financial officer with the Financial Operations Department of the World Bank. This article summarizes selected results of a two-year research project on exchange rate regimes in Africa conducted in the former Country Policy Department of the World Bank and is based on Pinto (1987a, 1987b). The following economists contributed to the ideas presented here: Christophe Chamley, Armeane Choksi, Vinod Dubey, Homi Kharas, Saul Lizondo, Marcelo Selowsky, and Sweder van Wijnbergen. T. N. Srinivasan and an anonymous referee helped substantially to clarify and improve the exposition.
World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs favor unification of official and black market exchange rates on the argument that multiple exchange rates misallocate resources. This article shows that such policy advice sometimes overlooks an important consideration: when multiple rates are a means of taxation, the widened deficit from unification increases inflation. This article uses the experience of Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone to illustrate the tradeoff between the benefits of unification for resource allocat1on and its costs for inflation.

Why delete or distort my importnat first two paragarph? Whatever I say or write, the mistakes are entirley mine, my mistakes.
I wrote: These children of Sierra Leone have been specially chosen, handpicked to serve their people/ country, and will be taking the national pledge which is:
” I pledge my love and loyalty to my country Sierra Leone;
I vow to serve her faithfully at all times;
I promise to defend her honour and good name;
Always work for her unity peace, freedom and prosperity;
And put her interest above all else.
So help me God.”
You have waited so long and speculated so much, given your advice and preferences here and there and you are all now we are all to some extent taken by surprise about the sagacity of Ernesto Bai Koroma’s deliberation in declaring his appointments!
EIGHT ministers so far according to this update, four of whom reportedly come from one of Sierra Leone’s great Diaspora cities, namely ATLANTA, Georgia, USA where some of the rich heavyweight dudes live.
A man or woman is never known until she is tested, and we can see at an instance that there are no round pegs in square holes; my personal judgment is: So far so good, from among those we know and those we don’t know, or know less about or have never heard about, but all to the good, especially the excellent Alpha Kanu, the very able & beautiful Human Rights and gender equality-conscious Zainab Bangura will cut a pretty picture on the international stage and should be impressive in all that she does; and then we have top APC attorney, Hon. Abdul Serry Kemal who we are to suppose is no toothless chimpanzee - and I can’t help having the gut feeling that he is all set to go and will not resist the impulse to do Justice by taking up arms and all legal means at his disposal to WAGE a war of genocidal extinction against the vast sea of corruption on which many SLPP sailors have been so happily sailing with impunity, the past decade or so.
Should anyone be worried as to the position of Sir Charles Margai & the PMDC in the scheme of things, from a reliable authority (a seasoned commentator on Sierra Leone’s political destiny) a man of impressive pedigree we get the following two verses:
1. “Dr. Soccoh Kabia is staunch PMDC and was actually Charles Francis Margia's original preference for his VP. He has good political pedigree, a thriving private practice here and, from all indications, should do well.”
2. “ Benjamin Davis (Lands) may also be PMDC. He is said to have done a good job with Ports during NPRC and also have good political instincts.”
There were 25 ministers in the SLPP government:
http://www.statehouse-sl.org/cabinet.html
Will there be twenty-five ministers in the APC government?
The ministers will be singing this song along with Bra Enviable: THE SIERRA LEONE NATIONAL ANTHEM:
" High we exalt thee, realm of the free;
Great is the love we have for thee;
Firmly united ever we stand,
Singing thy praise, O native land.
We raise up our hearts and our voices on high,
The hills and the valleys re-echo our cry;
Blessing and peace be ever thine own,
Land that we love, our Sierra Leone.
One with a faith that wisdom inspires,
One with a zeal that never tires;
Ever we seek to honour thy name
Ours is the labour, thine the fame.
We pray that no harm on thy children may fall,
That blessing and peace may descend on us all;
So may we serve thee ever alone,
Land that we love our Sierra Leone.
Knowledge and truth our forefathers spread,
Mighty the nations whom they led;
Mighty they made thee, so too may we
Show forth the good that is ever in thee.
We pledge our devotion, our strength and our might,
Thy cause to defend and to stand for thy right;
All that we have be ever thine own,
Land that we love our Sierra Leone. "

I wish to examine some of the people President Koroma wants to help him run our country. I will divide them into two segments:The following people are most suitable to hold public office-
(1) Mrs. Zainab Hawa Bangura-she has kept a clean record in public service. For many years she worked for the Reliance Insurance Company and brought a lot of good things into the company. She resigned and formed the campaign for good governance organization, where she was very active in ensuring that government functions well. She got funding for many workshops to train government officials on how to preform well. She was also very instrumental in bringing democracy to our country. Recently she was hired by the untied nations to help rebuilt Liberia. I am sure she will bring her wealth for experience to the ministry of foreign affair.
(2) Alhaji Abu Bakarr Jalloh - is the finest gentleman I have ever met in my life. He is one of the very, very few people with integrity and credibility within the APC. He has served the following institutions will distinction, NDMC, EAST END LOINS,YMMA and UDC and MD university in the USA.I encourage everybody to check his record in these institutions, you will find out that he has a proven and outstanding record.
(3) MR.Abdul Serry-Kamal- Is a distinguish lawyer of a very long standing. He is one of the most loyal members of the APC. During the difficult days of the party, when Ernest Koroma turned his back against the APC, Mr. Serray Kamal stood his ground of defend the party.
(4)Alhaji I.B.Kargbo- Is a respectable journalist. During the debate on the present constitution , he was one of the few APC guys who break up with his party in the interest of the country.
The follow people are not suitable to hold any position in our country:
Dr.S.Kabia- He has being away from Sierra Leone for over 35 years and is totally disconnected with the problems facing our country. What will he bring of the ministry of health? How will he solve our health problem, when he does not even understand the problems. We should not give people position only because they spent huge amount of money in a political party.
Benjamin Davies- He was appointed a counter part general manager at the Ports Authority during the days of the illegal NPRC, he failed woefully to perform, he was immediately terminated. He quickly returned to Atlanta, Georgia .At this time in our country's history we need people who can preform, we do not need dead woods.
With respect I call on president Koroma to withdraw his nomination.
Ahaji Alpha Kanu- I will not even take you too far. A few years ago, Alpha Kanu collected a large amount of money from people wishing to preform the Hajj in Mecca, he converted the money into his private use. He did not provide the plane and hotel accommodation for our brothers and sisters. Instead of being a minister, Alpha Kanu should a prisoner.
Very soon I will send my objections to the parliamentary committee on public appointments. I call on all well meaning Sierra Leoneans to join me in the fight to prevent the wrong people form holding public offices.

Hi Bro Saidu
You get it completely wrong on the issue of Alpha Kanu and the pilgrimage business. My uncle was one of those that paid for the trip to Mecca, indeed they could not make the trip at the material time because according to Mr Kanu the company he hired the plane from dissappointed him the last hour.
However, Hee did manage to convey the pilgrims the following year without any further cost. My uncle Alhaji Ibrahim Conteh can testify or verify this statement

Med Conteh,
the question is not whether or not the pilgrimage materialised the following year. what is relevant is that it did not take place the year it was susposed to,Alpha Kanu could have diverted the money to other use during the one year, like buying treasure bills and investing it in other area.
coversion of the money must have taken place. if Kanu was not having any ulterior motive, he would have planed better for the pilgrimage. it is possible that those who were suposed to have undertaken the holy journey may have died before the following year that you alledged the pilgrimage took place, so Kanu should be investigated or be in jail for wrong doings.

I disagree with your assertion about Dr. Kabia if your objection is based solely on the fact that he has been away for 35 years. Has he established a solid reputation as a physician? This is acutally a great advantage because he's going to bring a different perspective. If he assembles his ministry staff properly, they'll balance each other. The fact that he's been away for 35 years and is willing to return home means his heart is in the right place. He is probably doing it at a great sacrifice too. The other advantage of someone being in this position who's been away for so long is that he's amassed wealth already so he's probably very stable financially. One of the concerns I have seen debated endlessly is that ministers of the pass were really interested because they wanted to fattened their on pockets. There are less strenuous things this man could be doing at this stage in his life. My vote says that he's really going to serve. Who knows, once things are back on an upswing, he may be able to lure some of his doctor friends over to help make Sierra Leone the next hot vacation spot. Unless you have some more compelling reasons, I have to respectfully disagree with you on this one.

…….he was born free therefore; he needs no redemption…..
That’s the most intelligent statement I have read thus far on this forum. We as Africans need to grasp this reality, it would help develop our sense of belonging, a sense of patriotism, it would help us perceive the barbaric act of slaver, colonial rule and the subsequent celebration of ‘independence’ from a different perspective.
One reggae star mentioned ‘emancipation from mental slavery,’ Africans need to start saying no to certain external unwarranted demands, no to tribal conflicts, no to corruption, Africans need to think constructively, think economically and developmentally, think to use our raw materials judiciously, Africans need think and relieve those that have apparently been doing the thinking for us.
There is no need for Sierra Leone as a nation of less than 5 million to be in such deplorable condition as it is now. There is nothing worth boasting about our country, the people are dying, dying of hunger, sickness and economic degradation, whilst few opportunists hoard our economy in foreign banks, lord over the people and demand respect.
Africa has and would always remain a continent of immense natural and human recourses despite the drastic exploitation, a continent that others would envy, a place we shall forever call home.
We need to establish a system of freedom, a system that would have no semblance to the era of slavery and colonization. Africa existed before these sad chapters in our history and we should learn to coexist, with our core values, cultures and diverse ethnicities. Ever human was born free and so shall we remain, peace to mother Africa.

I have received lots and lots of complaints today from all parts of the world from people appealing for the obscenities and lewd discussions by Sylvia Blyden and party to be brought to an end by whatever means possible. Most of the people appealed that foreign diplomats and other nationals read this forum and it portrayed a very poor picture of our country.
You all know from the traffic report our Moderator has often published that even officials from the British Department of International Aid , U.S. Congress, State Department and FBI read this forum. It does not give any good picture of us if we have the forum in the state it was this morning.
Sylvia Blyden has burnt her candles on both ends. She has nothing to lose anymore.She has been a loser from time immemorial and she knows that , which is why she does not care how she degrades this forum with talks of genitals and the rest of it. You all saw how insensitive and unpatriotic Sylvia Blyden is .Anybody who will pour such attacks on the UN, EU and taunt America for 9/11 DOES NOT LOVE HER COUNTRY BECAUSE ANY BACKLASH WILL DESTROY THE COUNTRY FURTHER .But this is Sylvia : Everybody must go down with her.
I want to make this last appeal before I finally pull the plugs on this forum as the owners of SLIS, Africaonline and NUP did. Please let us all cooperate to keep this forum clean. It represents our country.If we say we love our country, we have to care for the image of our country. You may dislike me for writing favorable articles on the APC, but think of your country when you try to get at me.
I want to appeal to the MODERATOR to be ever more vigilant to delete Sylvia Blyden's obscene and lewd posts without delay and to continue blocking the IPs of offenders. I just cleaned up two filthy posts that had been sitting here for a while. We have to remain determined or else we will have the bad name for running a forum where obscenity is allowed.
We also want to appeal to everybody to ignore Sylvia and her like-minded demons . Do not respond to their posts .Their aim is to bring this forum down in Sierra Leonean fashion. Nothing good, they believe, is good for Sierra Leone.
If this advice is not heeded, we will IMPOSE registration and PASSWORDS without delay. We don't care any more how many people participate on this forum. If we have only 2 serious people, we will take that.
And I sincerely did not write this for any attacks. Any response to this post that goes back to insults, profanities , personal attacks and lewdness will be deleted without delay and the IPs of the writers blocked. WE HAVE BECOME MORE DESPERATE TO MAINTAIN ORDER ON THIS FORUM.
Thanks to you all.

Thank you for reminding us the last SLPP cabinet. It is great to list them and their origin. However, I want to tell Mr. Lansana that we in the south/east should start to forget about this tribal politics and concentrate on national politics. The South/east people did not pay less price for a cup of rice than the north/west during the SLPP. This tells you that the problems in the country are not tribal problems, they are national problems in which every sierra leonean is affected irrespective of your tribe, or political affiliation. So, it is unfortunate that we still have some people who still want to push the tribe card.

Gentlemen:
This is a belated response to your earliers postings. My apologies.
I am having some difficulty understanding Mr. foday mansaray’s reasoning underpinning his desire to reform the present system of foreign exchange (FE) transactions in SL. Nor am I certain that I have made myself fully understood on how I view the existing arrangements in this matter.
First, I believe that the existing arrangements are as follows: (a) there is an official regime or what one may call the “white market” whereby foreign exchange is traded via the banking system and (b) a parallel or so-called “black” market conducted via entrepreneurs in street corners and back offices in Freetown, Bo, Kenema, Kono, and Makeni, etc.
And as pointed out by Mr. FENTHI, this black market is augmented by certain vendors quoting and requesting payments for rents and the sale of land and houses in US dollars or some other convertible currency such as pound sterling or euros, etc.
If I understand Mr. foday mansaray correctly, his position is as follows:(i) there should be no parallel market; (ii) the NEW APC government will put in place regulations to prevent criminal activities in this sector; and (iii) “the (proposed) system does not need the central bank to give clearance to anyone needing to acquire foreign currency. The center piece of our policy should be Accountability.” Perhaps, Mr. foday mansaray might want to help me with some clarifications here.
Please note that the parallel FE system exits in SL because the official FE system is unfair and even outright crooked. I have already explained the FE crookedness and unfairness under the OLD APC that forced large numbers of international businesses that once flourished in SL and still flourish in The Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria to flee SL and that also put SLeone travelers in excruciating difficulties upon landing overseas devoid of FE.
AHRAMMU PROFITS: Presently in SL, the white market official FE conversion rates to Leones are ridiculously low and reflect an outrageous “ahrammou” monopoly profit to the authorities, banks and foreign exchange bureaus whereas the trading rates offered by the black market operators are substantially fairer and more advantageous to you and me.
Moreover, the rules (or practices) for depositing FE in banks constitute highway robbery in my view.
During my 2005 campaign for the SLPP leader position, I enquired about opening a dollar bank account. The bank charged me a fee of 2% up front of all FE amounts deposited and a conversion rate – if my memory is correct – of only $1 = Le2,700. More shocking was the bank’s declaration that they could not guarantee me dollars when I seek dollar withdrawals from my account, even with prior notice. Naturally, I declined to open an FE account and walked across the street and purchased Leones at the rate of $1 = Le3,000 from the free black market.
I am sure that there must be abuses in the black market but the solution is to design regulations to address those abuses and never to abolish the so-called black market which is in fact the real “free market”. Remember, we Africans do not fully understand or accept the principles of Self-determination. Our record is to use public office as a means for private gain. So, please do not give the Central Bank too much power over FE for. Officials are more likely to abuse their power for private gain than pursue the public interest.
TAXATION: On the matter of taxation, I see no major problem. A large portion of spending in SL is on imports. These are heavily taxed at ports of entry. So there is no need to further tax the inflow of FE into Sierra Leone. If we do, capital for commercial investment will simply dry up fast. And please keep in mind that most, if not all countries allow capital inflows free of taxation.
FE outflows are another matter. A way must be found to fairly tax profits but as long as (i) the tax rates are unconsciously high; (ii) poverty and backwardness reign supreme in SL and (iii) public administration is chronically incompetent, unfair and corrupt, modern tax administration is going to be unsuccessful in SL.
And such indicia of national instability will continuously provoke capital flights through both the “white” and “black” markets.
LANDLORDS: One point FENTHI, QUEST and FODAY MANSARAY discussed is truly a matter of concern to us nationalists. A country’s government must stand squarely behind the currency it issues. By demanding payment in FE rather than its own self-issued currency, the government disrespects and thus devalues its own very currency. And this was what actually happened during Momoh’s OLD APC days.
After blocking FE remittances belonging to PZ, UAC, SCOA, CFAO, etc., etc. for their legitimate imports, our then government demanded that home office officials from the UK and elsewhere of those companies visiting SL cannot use Leones generated by their SL branches to pay their local expenses but must pay with newly brought in FE which they must convert into Leones (at ahrammu rates) before they could be allowed into the country. Policies such as these are what are behind the paucity of long-term foreign investments and the massive unemployment in our country today.
When you see landlords and other vendors quoting prices for their realty in FE, it reflects several facts including high inflation rates in the local currency, currency instability, political instability and/or the fact that they are foreign-based.
PRICE CONTROLS: Mr. foday mansaray raised the issue of price control. First, our poor, poor government does not have the economic power to control prices by controlling the FE rates. Second, because we are a nation of importers, most retail prices reflect international economic factors, our backward public administration, our chronic instability and the difficulty of doing business and living in an infrastructure-scarce country with a very corrupt and unproductive culture.
The main economic and social problem in SL is a tendency towards over-consumption and towards under-production. Prices control benefits consumers. A good government should be doing the opposite: pleasing local producers for only by substantially increasing local production will the quality of life improve for our people. Take for example, the situation of the escalating price of rice. This has nothing to do with APC or SLPP.
The price of our staple food – rice – is determined by international demand centering on India and China. As these two giant countries with humongous populations become more industrialized and affluent – as the trends are - they will continue to afford a greater and greater share of the world’s grain production while reducing their acreage set aside for rice production. The upshot is rice price inflation.
Price control of rice by our government under these circumstances can only be marginally effective (if at all) and will be limited only to bursting up the crooked, notorious rice-importing cartel in Freetown, eliminating import bottlenecks at the key and eliminating import duty if any.
In the long-term, no price control must be put on local rice production as this will discourage production and encourage smuggling and thus the bribery of police and customs officers at our borders and violate ECOWAS/Mano River Union free-trade treaties.
The correct policy of our new government should be to encourage massive local rice production not only to meet local demand but to capture a portion the increasing international rice trade. Thank you. - JL

"Remember, we Africans do not fully understand or accept the principles of Self-determination. Our record is to use public office as a means for private gain." -- John Leigh
A truer confession is hard to imagine! However, John Leigh, please make it clear to your readers that you speak only from your own experience.
I would add to your confession, the fact that you do not fully understand economics. This can be easily from the fact that every one of the reasons you gave for the lack of foreign exchange makes no sense.
For example, you claim that it was the APC govt. that drove foreign businesses away from Salone because it asked their visiting emplyees to pay for local expenses in leones while exchanging their foreign currency (not foreign exchange, as you stated in error) at official rates).
The question that should have steered you away from such a glaring misunderstandsng of the economics of foreign exchange is quite simple: How many foreign company officials visited Salone in any given year and what percentage of Salone's total foreign exchange reserves were contributed by their per diem allowance?
The answer, John Leigh, would lead you to realize that it is ignorance of the highest order to claim, as you did, that the exchange rate of a country like Salone was determined by the personal travel allowances of the officals of the few foreign companies in Salone.
My advice to you is to avoid writing about economics.

Policies such as these are what are behind the paucity of long-term foreign investments and the massive unemployment in our country today."
What you wrote that I wrote here is thus completely wrong.
Next, my statement that "...... we Africans do not fully understand or accept the principles of Self-determination. Our record is to use public office as a means for private gain" is an objective analysis arising not only from my own personal observations regarding how many African government officials manage public affairs but also my analysis is based on published findings from donor nations, international NGOs such as Transparency International, International Crises Group, etc., and multilateral organizations such as the UN, IMF and the World Bank.
I am thus making clear that malgovernance is a widespread disease in Africa that needs to be adressed if our people and country are to move forward.
With this said, please note I won't respond to your further intervention here unless I know your true ID and provided your contribution is genuine. Thank you. - JL

Mr. Leigh, I appreciate your reply. Still, please be advised that I am not concerned about whether you choose to reply or not. My concern is with making sure that you do not mislead your readers with spurious statements about the economy of Salone.
But since you have chosen to reply, I will have to again correct your own understanding of what you wrote: My criticism of you was this: "For example, you claim that it was the APC govt. that drove foreign businesses away from Salone because it asked their visiting emplyees to pay for local expenses in leones while exchanging their foreign currency (not foreign exchange, as you stated in error) at official rates)."
It is plain that my criticism accurately targeted what you actually wrote:
"Please note that the parallel FE system exits in SL because the official FE system is unfair and even outright crooked. I have already explained the FE crookedness and unfairness under the OLD APC that forced large numbers of international businesses that once flourished in SL and still flourish in The Gambia, Ghana and Nigeria to flee SL " -- John Leigh
It seems to be that you should be taking your own advice about being truthful in debate by avoiding misrepresenting your own statements in order to try to escape the consequences of your statements. More importantly, you should take my well-intentioned advice: Please avoid writing about economics because you very obviously do not have a sufficient understanding of the subject -- as your quoted erroneous statement above exemplifies.
For you to continue writing economics is like a person without a medical license practicing medicine. Both actions are dangerous not just to the fake practitioners but to innocent bystanders who make the mistake of taking such frauds seriously.
Your defense of your claim that you did not put yourself out as speaking for all Africans when you stated "we Africans do not fully understand or accept the principles of Self-determination. Our record is to use public office as a means for private gain" is easily shown to be porous. If, as you claim, it is an objective analysis, where is the evidence of such alleged analysis? Nowhere in your posting!
Finally, in case you are new to this forum, please be advised that it is an anonymous forum. Therefore, your request that a forumite identify himself or herself to you is yet further evidence of your failure to understand the [protocol ion this website. Therefore, it warrants no further comment.

Mirror, I'm not a fan of John Leigh nor I'm I a student of economics but I have to say that following the thread of the posts between you two, you do not seem to be argueing in good faith. Surely you are not asking John to split hairs by providing you with evidence to butress the truism of pervasive corruption in Africa? Your attacks seem to be laced with an egotistic tinge.

You seem to share a problem of incomprehension with Leigh. Does your claim that there is "pervasive corruption in Africa" mean that "we Africans do not fully understand or accept the principles of Self-determination," as Leigh claims? Clearly not.
Like Leigh, you fail to distinguish between corrupt Africans and their African victims. If and when you finally do, you should be able to see, if you can see, why neither Leigh nor you can validly refer to those two distinctly separate groups of Africans as a monolithic unit ("we").
What appears to you as "attacks" would properly appear to you as instruction in logical reasoning if only you were not too busy loking for something that does not exist -- "an egotistic tinge."
Whereas Leigh would be well advised to avoid writing about economics because he does not fully understand it, for a similar reason, you would be well-advised to steer clear of making logical conclusions.

Instruction in logical reasoning? Whom from, you? Going by your advise, I should "steer clear of making logical conclusions" by agreeing with you that Africans come in two groups - corrupt Africans and their victims. Look mate, this is not a game of semantics! Climb down your high horse for a minute and refect on the socio-economic reality of living in a poverty stricken society. How do you think workers go for months without pay and still manage to make ends meet? Corruption is corrruption regardless of its hue. We are tainted/shaped by the society we live in. The dichotomy you so steadfastly draw is feeble. That is why I hope that President Koroma in his quest to combat this malady will not forget that the mindset of the typical Sierra leonean needs to be changed.
I look forward to some more advice and instructions from your almighty self!

Now that you have given us your opinion, perhaps you can give us the evidence.
As we await your omitted substance, what you call semantics may yet properly manifest itself to you as the substantive differeence that dooms the undiscerning lumping of victim and victimizer. From that recognition, hopefully, will come the realization of the error in your thinking that pointing out your mistake entails climbing upon a horse.

Londoner, sadly, that is yet another example of your seemingly chronic problem of incomprehension. What you fail to understand is the simple fact that I am not the only one who reads your misapprehensions when you respond to me on Cocorioko! Hence, as I correctly stated but which predictably escaped your comprehension, "we" read your porous opinions that you inflict upon "us." Comprenez vous? I hope my attempt to help you finally understand what you read is not "pointless."
Out of my kindness, I had chosen to ignore your transparently porous implied opinion that the victims of Africa's corrupt leaders are themselves corrupt because they "go for months without pay and still manage to make ends meet." However, since you insist upon my reply, let me ask you the one question that should have steered you away from your factually and logically flawed statement, namely:
If, as you claim, each and every one of the millions of Sierra Leoneans who are victims of SL's corrupt leaders are unaffected because they replace the money looted from them by becoming corrupt themselves, why do they keep getting poorer and are perennially ranked among the poorest people on earth?

Your Excellency, I was of the opinion that PZ and other foreign markets, particularly PZ closed down when in 1997 the store was vandalized by opponents of the A.P.C?
All who studied high school economics can agree with the fact that stability is a key to economic success. Therefore, when we, Sierra Leoneans, and please understand that when I say we, I am referring to all who condoned the vidalization of such markets because they disagreed with the then A.P.C. government, come to grisp with the various contributions we have made towards the many problems that we have discussed so far, including the low foreign reserve, then and only then can we achieve the economic recovery we so desire.
The inadequacy of foeign exchange can be attributed to no other reason than our inability to create avenues where Foreign exchange can soar. Our tourism industry, attractive though it might be yet, we lacked in other areas, such as peace and stability that is a connerstone towards attracting tourists who would be in place to spend their foreign currencies from which our foreign reserve can be increased.
Another area that sent a heavy blow to our foreign exchange or foreign reserve if you will, is the devaluation of our currency, which made us inept or rather broke the spine to purchase machinery that we can utilize, invest to boost trade and decrease unemployment. The latter if reversed, could have empowered foreign investment because the working people could have had the purchasing power that could have fueled growth of these investments.
Most Economist might not consider how a country's percentage in motality rate can affect atraction of investors and tourists to such a country. Therefore, cleaning of our country from all the rubish that line the streets particularly in the city, plays a significant role in driving our exchange potentials to the dept it is today.
Last but not least, as you correctly stated, the crookedness associated with banks manipulating the transactions and banking systems has virtually dampened the ability for most people to trust and deal with us, which is another factor that has resulted to the rate at which our foreign exchange is today.
Ghana, Senegal, Uganda and particularly Uganda through their tourism, control over corruption and democratic leadership of transformation has led to praise hauled on them and has boosted their foreign reserve.
With all this in mind, I am of the impression that we would join hads, do not contribute to any crook that we wish to change but rather contribute towards national development because none order that us can change Sierra Leone.
Thank you.

Rev Kanu,
I eqaully have a lot of respect for you. You are the first to provide a platform for real and up to date news on Sierra Leone but I am disappointed at your open declaration for APC. There are many like me who visit your newspaper and forum because we originally felt you are above politics. You have every right to support APC in the open but the deletion of my posting makes me wonder if you are trying to suppress opinion of a few. You have every right to block my IP address if you wish.I would not have reposted if my posting was not deleted.
I do not support APC for my personal reasons but I will support any government that makes life better for the average Sierra Leonean. I just commended EBK for appointing David Carew because I know him to be a fine gentleman. We are both accountants and I appreciate his contribution towards the development of the profession locally. The only thing that comes to mind is that we may have a conflict of interest if he is the Finance Minister and all the government audits are done by his firm KPMG.
I do not consider the topic boring because it affects how readers view your online paper.

I don't think there is a conflict of interest. Apart from the PARASTATALS all government ministries are audited by the AUDITOR GENERAL which to me is a disservice to the people of Sierra leone because the Auditor General's office does not have the manpower to conduct an efficient audit. Independence will only be impaired when you consider the parastatals under his control. But let wait and see if he will accept the offer.

Kabs, I have the utmost respect for you even though I don’t know you and never heard of you until I started visiting this forum recently. I therefore ask for your forgiveness should my writing cause any offence, as this is not the intention. My contribution here is based on the quotation below.
”When I criticised the SLPP, they had serious problems with that and disturbed my peace, harassed me, threatened me and called me all kinds of names. I am saying that if it was a taboo and crime to criticise the SLPP, why is it right to criticise the APC ? Is the SLPP a sacred cow ?”
The difference between a good professional journalist and an ordinary journalist is that the professional would not have succumbed to any threat, harassment or name-calling but would have continued to criticise any government in power. When you encountered this entire problem with the SLPP did you stop criticising them? You should not have assuming you did. Similarly do the same for the current government who would obviously see your criticism as a taboo just like the SLPP. What matters most in my opinion is your reputation. You want to be seen as an objective, unbiased and true professional unfortunately your article did not reflect this.
As a reverend, I hope you will start treating everyone fairly and equally just as you yourself stated in a previous article that what is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander or something to the effect.

These same people you are collecting monies from to shut up will give you away to the people. Honour and nobility is better than riches. Honour and nobility can give you all the riches they have with committing a crime. Do not fall for such temptations. let them give back to Sierra leone what is sierra leone's and your government will be hailed as a team ready for transformation.

Petra Diamonds said that the market was experiencing a ’diamond rush’ thanks to "the shift of power in the diamond industry".
The company said a number of diamond companies have recently sought to raise money and acquire a public listing in London.
It said this was due to the diamond industry opening up to new players due to the shift of power in the industry and the "dramatic restructuring of the diamond pipeline".
While Petra reported the widening of its full year losses from 13.11 US cents a share to 13.60 US cents a share, the company believed the current financial year held far more promise.
"The compelling investment case for diamonds continues, with the market widely predicted by analysts to slip into a major supply deficit within the next five years, due to the lack of significant new production coming on stream," said Petra in a statement on its results for the 12 months to end June 2007.
"At our recent tenders diamond prices recovered from the weaker prices recorded during the financial year and, despite the turbulent events in the financial markets, many market participants believe that an increase in diamond prices is overdue," the company said.
Petra, which has bought several of diamond giant De Beers’ older operations in and around Kimberley, said revenue decreased by US$3.9 million to US$17 million in 2007 from US$20.9 million in 2006.
This was despite a slight increase on production. In the year to end June 2007, the company produced 180,474 carats compared to 175,011 carats for the same period the year before. The 3.1% was attributed to the increase in production from Petra’s South African mines.
Besides South Africa, Aim-listed Petra is also active in Angola, Botswana and Sierra Leone.
A loss for the year of US$20.9 million was reported compared to last year’s US$18.8 million on larger amortisation, exchange losses and depreciation charges.
The company had also expected production from the Koffiefontein mine, which it acquired from De Beers Consolidated Mines for 81.9 million rand, to count towards its 2007 results.
However, the one-month delay in the completion of the acquisition meant that the deal was only finalized post year-end.
Had the deal been concluded one month earlier, revenue to June 2007 would have been US$9.9 million higher, Petra said.
The company started its financial year with a portfolio combining the producing fissure mines in South Africa with the ’blue sky’ potential of its operations in Angola and Botswana, and advanced stage exploration in Sierra Leone.
During the year the company met its objective of delivering solid exploration results at Alto Cuilo in Angola and adding production to the group, which it did through its acquisition of Koffiefontein.
It also acquired an interest in the Luangue diamond project in Angola, entered into its second joint venture with BHP Billiton, and brought into the company cutting and polishing capabilities through the acquisition of Calibrated Diamonds.
Post year-end, it entered into an agreement to acquire the Kimberley Underground mines for 78.5 million rand from De Beers.
The acquisition of Calibrated Diamonds gives Petra the in-house capability to cut and polish its own rough diamond production, which in turn will directly impact Petra’s bottom line given the value uplift in a polished stone compared to the rough form.
Petra said it would not enter the retailing business, but will add significant value for shareholders by taking a proportion of its production to the cutting and polishing stage.
The company said improving conditions in many of the most promising African countries, such as Angola, the DRC and Sierra Leone, had also "precipitated a wealth of opportunities".
"Our focus going forward remains Africa," Petra said.
In the three months post year-end the company has already seen revenues reach US$15.9 million, which is only US$1.1 million less than that for the full year to end June 2007.
"With expected production of 250,000 carats for the year to 30 June 2008, an increase in our South African reserves and resources (not including Kimberley Underground) to 9.3 million carats, a strong background for diamond prices and encouraging progress across our development projects in Angola, Botswana and Sierra Leone, Petra’s prospects for the current financial year and beyond are extremely encouraging," the company said.

FREETOWN (AFP) — Former Sierra Leone president Ahmad Tejan Kabbah is on his way to South Africa for a weeklong visit at the invitation of that country's government, state radio said Monday.
Sierra Leone Broadcasting Services (SLBS) reported that Kabbah left on Sunday but did not give any details about the trip.
Kabbah, who is credited for ending the country's decade-long civil war, led the country from 1996 until last month, with the exception of a nine-month spell when he was overthrown by the rebel military.
He was topped in May 1997, by a rebel faction, the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC), and returned to power in March 1998 after a west African regional military force flushed out the junta.
In September, this year, he handed over to an opposition politician, Ernest Bai Koroma who won a vote seen as a test to determine if the war-wracked country had truly recovered from the civil war which claimed 120,000 lives and left thousands of survivors without limbs.
Kabbah himself was constitutionally barred from contesting having completed a two-five year terms.
This is Kabbah's first trip abroad since leaving office.

Sierra Leone Police ordered to place Government Office under Armed Siege

The staff at the Sierra Leone Road Transport Authority (SLRTA) got themselves going through a frightening experience last week as armed policemen acting upon ‘orders from above’ (meaning orders from Vice President Sam-Sumana’s Transitional Team at State House) invaded the Authority’s premises at Kissy Road, forcefully driving away Sierra Leonean and foreign citizens who had gone there to conduct their lawful business of seeing to their driving licenses, their vehicle licenses and paying their traffic fines.
"Out, Out! Everybody get out of here! We are here to secure this place. Get Out! Get Out!" the policemen reportedly ordered the frightened staff and their customers.
According to several of the staff who spoke to this newspaper, they were last Thursday October 4th going about their normal work serving customers shortly before 4pm when a team of police officers from Ross Road’s B-Division suddenly stormed the premises requesting that they be shown the "Server Room" which needed to be "secured" by the Police as ordered by State House’s Transitional Team.
The Police were shown the Server only for them to inform the staff that the staff were trying to fool them by showing them a computer when they wanted to see a "Server"
"This is a Computer. We are not looking for Computers but for Servers! Show us the Server!" the irate computer-illiterate policemen reportedly snorted at the frightened staff.
It took some time before the officers were convinced that a Server was merely the name given to a computer that was itself serving other computers on a Network.
Awareness Times investigations reveal that the whole problem started with a broadcast the day before by the very popular Citizen Radio located at Kissy Thunderhill and operated by journalist David Tam-Baryoh.
It appears that the Radio had broadcasted a live phone call from an anonymous caller who claimed that senior staff of SLRTA whom he claimed were "right now under my eyes, switching computers from inside the server room" into a parked vehicle. When David Tam Baryoh requested of the caller what was the license number of the vehicle into which the computers were being placed, the anonymous caller simply mumbled something and cut off the telephone showing that he was not a sincere caller.
However, at the next day’s meeting held at State House during which the Inspector General of Police, Brima Acha Kamara was present, it was decided that a team of policemen be sent to SLRTA premises to secure the ‘Server Room’ whilst one Mr. Beresford George of the Transitional Team would look into the issue.
It now appears that Beresford George who is computer literate had already gone to the premises, inspected and found nothing untoward even before the team of police officers arrived to ‘secure’ the computer server.
However, the policemen continued to secure the premises that whole day until throughout the night into the next morning, Friday October 5th 2007, when the staff again arrived at work only to meet armed policemen with guns, having barricaded them from entering their individual offices and do their daily patriotic duties.
"The police officers were very aggressive to us. They accused us all of being thieves who were stealing the country’s money. Some pointed guns when we tried entering our offices," a staff member informed.
We were also informed that the nightly income from vehicles which park inside the compound at the rate of Le2,000 per night which was usually receipted for and handed over to the Accounts Department by the Night Duty Warden was all pocketed by the armed policemen on Thursday Night after the Night Warden was allegedly chased off the premises by gun-wielding policemen.
However, when we contacted the LUC for Ross Road Police, she strongly denied the accusations of theft of the Nightly Cash Income by the armed police officers she deployed there.
"I was there personally until almost midnight as my house is just nearby and no such theft occurred under my eyes. Unless they say it occurred after midnight but we will investigate," the LUC insisted upon the integrity of her policemen.
She accepted that indeed she was the one who deployed armed men there so as to give protective backing to the plain clothes police officers.
"I was instructed to secure the Server Room by the Inspector General of Police for the State House Transitional Team and we did just that," she said although she confessed that herself and her officers had limited knowledge of what was a Server.
For his part, Mr. David Tam Baryoh in a telephone chat with this newspaper accepted that certain media reports had the potential to cause needless stains on other people’s character.
"Certain newspaper publications are now giving the impression that devils were running Sierra Leone before now which is why I have stopped reviewing the contents of newspapers over my Radio," Tam Baryoh said. He strongly denied being the mole in the Transitional Team passing information on to Standard Times Newspaper even though his picture was used with the newspaper’s reports.
"My role is to create harmony and not to cause division," Tam Baryoh assured.
However, SLRTA staff don’t believe a word of Baryoh’s assurances.
"You just need to tune into his Citizen Radio every night and you know Tam-Baryoh incites people. He caused disruption of our work by broadcasting that anonymous caller’s lies" said an angry staff.

If Dr Blyden is capable of provoking such passion and emotions then she must have something to say.
In my view, it seems Dr Blyden is a woman with strong opinions and will not back down when confronted, she reminds me of Hillary Clinton who ignites equal reactions for her archrivals.
If she is really in the Maryland region, we will like to get in touch with her for some opportunities.
She has the opportunity of becoming an excellent adjunct professor on the Lecture scene, or work for a very reputable endowment that is involved in international studies and international “Africa” journalism, if she wishes to stay in this region.
She will make a perfect candidate considering her life experiences. In addition, to what we have learned about her on this forum.

Sylvia,
According to the Hon. Reverend Kabbs Kanu, you are either in MD, USA or somewhere in Europe. This allows you more access to the use of the keyboard for communication.
Hey, my name is Mbalu and I live in the Bronx (Go Yankees!), NYC. Sometime ago, I brought up an issue concerning FGM. The debate did well but could do better. I am in the process of compilling a strong document to bring with me to Freetown for the attention of the new APC government on my next visit. You being a medical doctor by trainig and a strong female, I invite you to join this debate and help shed some light on it. I know you may have seen the exchange online as you are an ardent cyberspacer. But now that you can spare a little bit more time, what do you think of FGM in Sierra Leone.
Sylvia please note, this debate has nothing to do with what westerners think or donot think. I could care less about the west and westerners' take on the issue. I just need your Sierra Leonean mind as a medical doctor in the year 2007 vis-a-vis a crude unhygenic practice that still face our kids in Sierra Leone today. Think along the lines of disease transmission and our poor health services delivery system.
Over to you Doc, let change the topic here.
Thanks,
Truely yours,
Mbalu

After reading Bra Enviable's posting below, I went back to the
Cocorioko front page and read past issues. Enviable is right. Kabs has
declared open support for the APC. The quotation made by enviable
about EBK being the Daniel come to save Sierra Leone is very much like
what bootlickers will say. Kabs has the right to support whatever party
but the reverend should be honest and stop pretending to be a
journalist searching for the truth.
What has he got to say to defend himself from the case made against
him below?
I have just revealed the hypocritical brothers on this forum. The
responses one gets from a message on Cocorioko depends not so
much on the contextual validity of the message than its musical
appeal. In layman's terms, the insults or compliments you get on
Cocorioko depends on how well your message was sweetened for
popular appeal. Asking Kabs Kanu to be considerate in his glorification
of Ernest Koroma, proved too caustic for some people. I was born and
raised in Sierra Leone. I know how yellow Journalism works hand in
glove with sycophancy to lull leaders into believing that they are God's
anointed. Here is an example. While wishing Ernest Koroma a happy
birth day, Cocorioko fulsomely flattered the President with the
following words:
"You have come to our beloved nation like Daniel come to Redemption.
We believe that you are God-sent to lead our nation out of the morass
of socio-economic and political backwardness."
The smarminess in the above nonsense is too mushy to be taken
seriously. When did an untested President become so divine as to
evoke Biblical comparisons? Apart from replacing an effete SLPP
government through elections, what else has President Koroma done to
attract "God-sent" encomiums like the ones quoted above? President
Koroma is yet to fire his first political shot, but insincere compliments
are already making him a rescuer from God.
Lest we forget, Stevens, Strasser, and JS Momoh the mental pigmy,
were all viewed as "God-sent" before they could even begin to
discharge menace on Sierra Leone. In the case of Momoh, the song that
greeted him in power, "oodat gee Momoh power? Nar God!", will
remain unparalleled in infamy.
Political sycophancy is apparently a Sierra Leonean trait. No amount of
national suffering will expose us to the fact that leaders in a failed
nation are better treated with cynicism than flattery. President Koroma
is a Sierra Leonean equal to Biblical redeemers of the oppressed? Not
so fast, Please! How unu bad-off so?

Kabbs,
Impose a mandatory registration for the sake of reinstating sanity to this forum, period. It is your website, do as you feel. Some of us appreciate your good work and yet some of us velify you out of jealousy. Saloneman biznez tranga.
I am using an assumed name myself but care more about issues and the truth enough to not mind a manditory registration. With the mandatory registration, civilized individuals of substance will post read-worthy stuff and all others are free to peep or go back to the cave days and get their news via hear-say.
Why are you so afraid to do the right thing? Tell you the truth, I lose respect for you when you have to go down to the level of a nincompoop and write about Sylvia being here in the U.S. or Europe to justify your point. I am sick and tired of hearing stuff about this chick. She is not Ernest Koroma, our President. She does not in any way epitomise our problem as a nation. For heaven's sake lets stop accusing her of this and that.
Impose manditory registration. Woo dat ei hat, leh ei die.
It is your website and your forum. Thank you for bringing it to us but keep it sane and free of bullshitters like the Insane one, or the ugly one. Thank you.

You always pull people down by bringing in education or academic qualifications. The earlier we realize education is one to way to success but not the only way the better. What has all the Phd holders done for SL?

During the electioneering process in Sierra Leone, readers in the diaspora were made to believe that Cocorioko and its chief editor were "neutral". With the recent declaration of open support for APC, we now know that you cannot trust Cocorioko for fair and independent reporting. Posting from Kabs Kanu reproduced here if you missed it.

Allieu Sesay,
I am far better than you in the United States of America. While you are a laborer in a factory or a sausage flipper in a Macdonald's, I am a school teacher and Pastor. You cannot compare my returns to your's. In addition, my wife and daughter are highly-paid nurses in the U.S. system .Therefore I am self-sufficient . But pray, mr.Idiot , HOW POSSIBLE IS IT FOR SOMEBODY TO DO 3 JOBS IN AMERICA ?
Only an idiot like you also does not know that some of us cannot be Ministers of government because we are not registered voters in Sierra Leone, according to the constitution.
I have been doing my job without Pay for 5 years
Whatever happens, my promise of yesterday stands. Ah go support APC tay go. If e hart you, nar for go drown nar de Atlantic. That hostile treatment you people want some of us in the press to give Ernest Koroma will not happen. If you think we are not doing our job and you have the ability, which is questionable on account of your bad grammar, open your own newspaper.

If you, as a Sierra Leonean are not neutral, why do you want to impose neutrality on others? You have always been one of the most narrow-minded of SLPPers. Does Kabs' purported neutrality stop you from posting here? Nope! Does it stop you and your angry SLPP buddies from literally mugging Kabs? Nope. So what's the big fuss?

Mr. Sesay, please shut up and leave KABS alone. It is none of your business if Mr. kanu has three jobs, in fact it is a noble cause for a man to work hard to take care of his family. KABS has the right to belong to any party of his choice as long as it does not compromise his neutrality as a journalist. So far, in my eyes, he is one most neutral journalist in our times, because he published articles from both APC, PMDC, and SLPP surporters. I always prayed for the Almighty Allah to bless KABS for his relentless dedication in bringing the news about our motherland to us, diasporans.
Thank you Mr. Kanu,

Dr Sylvia Blyden is outspoken and unlike some of us who prefer to keep quiet on issues affecting Sierra Leone, she sticks her neck out saying what she believes to be true. We might not agree with her views but most people will agree that she is not a coward. There is something very fishy about this Subwanalai accusation against Sylvia by Kabs Kanu. If you go to the archives and read them, you will see what I mean. SUBWANALAI is none other than Kabs Kanu himself. Also, he is Kalos. He made a mistake the other day and posted for Kalos using the name Kabs.
As an Old Timer on these forums, I suggest that the good reverend goes for some much needed repentance and deep prayer sessions.

How can you call Sylvia Blyden a brave person when she has the tendency to use many, many masks.Masks that have been unearthed on Slis, NUP, LEONENET ETC.She was so cunning at Leonenet she was ISHMAEL KARGBO for over one year until she was busted not by Claude but Omolara( The guy who resigned ). There are many more instances. How did she behave when her mask ISHMAEL KARGBO and herself were banned from LEONENET ? She threatened to spoof the forum and flood it.She also criminally used ALIM SESAY 's account defiantly to be posting at LEONENET. Do you the criminal acts she was on in Freetown in concert with your SLPP thieves ? Do you think she was supporting SLPP because she loved you ? You guys are idiots and will die like one. Who has the record for destroying forums with mammy cuss ? Is it not Sylvia ?
Anyway, I see why LIBERIANS and GHANAIANS laugh at SIERRA LEONEANS that we are not a serious people. It is only in Sierra Leonean forums that SYLVIA BLYDEN will function.Watch the Liberian forums ( I am a member of the CONCERNED LIBERIANS DISCUSSION FORUM ) .You will not find a Sylvia Blyden there. If she arises there, unanimous condemnation will bail her out. You have just shown why these people make fun of us.

Secondly, I don't think she is Muslim or has Islamic background. The word SUBWANALAI is mostly used by Muslims, even though it is incoreectly spelt here. It should have been: "Sub Hana ALLAH" It is very good phrase in Islam.

My friend, it is people like you that Cocorioko, should ban. Look at the phrases you have used simply because I doubt that SUBWANALAI is Sylvia. Can you just say that SUWANALAI is Sylvia and provide reason(s) as to why you belief so? You are using the same attack method Sylvia is being attack for. There are some people that will not use a sentence or more without using a "cursing word or try to put down others" That is how they will feel comfortable, as people claimed Sylvia is doing. If Kabs Kanu and all others are trying to clean Cocorioko, they should focus on PEOPLE THAT ATTACK OTHERS BY CALLING THEM NAMES, USING HATE WORDS, and TRYING TO PUT OTHERS DOWN etc. All we need to do is to debate the issues, points and answer questions that are raised.
Labeling, name calling, insulting others, putting down others, and attacking people instead of the point(s)/message has never worked and will not work. Whoever, the all mighty has put up, no man can put down. Sadly, that is cancer that is destroying us and nobody is talking about it or discussing it. I will not label or call you names, even though MY LOWER ANIMAL INSTINCT AND EMOTIONS TELLS ME TO RECIPROCATE, BUT MY HIGHER SPIRITUAL/MORAL TELLS ME NOT TO.

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

The answer is no. You can not "say you are KABS?" unless and until your FIRST prove BOTH that:
1. Kabs [is] crase.
2. Your antagonist [is] "crase lek Kabs,/"
Since you failed to PROVE either in the body of your argument, it is NOT "safe" (valid) for you to say to your antagonist: "you are KABS?"

I have been a forumite for a very, very long time. I have been a forumite at LEONENET, SLIS, AFRICAONLINE , NUP , TAMU etc. When I tell you anything about forums, you must believe.
I warned you yesterday that Sylvia Blyden was here in Maryland or London---And that means GOODBYE to good forums.In Freetown, because of blackouts and the high costs of Internet, she is subdued, but abroad, she is untamed. When she was here before relocating to Freetown, she destroyed all the forums with rudeness , mammy Cuss and nuisance posts. Nobody had masks like Sylvia. Nobody knows how to use masks like her. Nobody hates her. But it is the things she does. This forum is following suit. Many of the posts you have read are coming from one IP , which can be traced to her. She is very busy writing under different names as she has done before.
We at COCORIOKO rued this day. We did predict it.We said that if the SLPP loses and Sylvia finds she cannot live in Sierra Leone any longer and she returns to the diaspora, this forum and many others will be in serious trouble.
You are seeing the truth now. And this will not be the end.
You are going to hear salacious propaganda that you have never heard before in your life. Mr.Ernest Koroma's reputation is going to be shred into bits and pieces. My reputation is going to go to the dogs. You just watch and see.
Those of you who are new and never saw Sylvia Blyden in action will now see why she is much reviled. SHE IS A ONE-PERSON WRECKING CREW. JUST WATCH AND SEE. GOOD LUCK TO YOU .

With all due respect to you Mr Rev. you are displaying paranoia beyond belief. Before you even think about saying it, I am not SLPP, PMDC or APC. You sound worried that people will believe what Sylvia has to say about you and your cohorts. Don't you trust that people like us are capable of disseminating fact from fiction? Is that why you wanted to impose registration? Have you got a skeleton in your cupboard? I am sure your standing as a man of God should endear you to people and anything said out of line would be recognised for what it is. If you can trace IP numbers to her, why have you not done anything about it? What have you got in your conscience that Sylvia knows about? Has she really got enough on you to send your reputation to the dogs? I suggest you come clean before she tells the world what she has on you.
I have been a contributor to this forum for quite a while and whilst I disagree with certain views, I have been impressed with the level of patriotism displayed by others. You have dulled my enthusiasm by your paranoid outbursts and the fact that you can't seem to fathom that people have differing views.
I grew up with the APC in government and my experience are like that of many people - disappointing. The NPRC and SLPP made it even worse, so I am a bit optimistic and hoping that the new government will make a difference. This does not mean I hate SLPP, but means I have a skeptical view about all politicians. That does not mean I will stay out of Sierra Leonean politics, to the contrary.
I commend you for your foresight in making this site a reality, but please accept the fact that you are not God almighty. People will question you, your motives and anything you believe in; and you should be ready to answer your critics as and when necessary. Sylvia is Sylvia, let her say what she likes as long as she does not defame your character. If she does, I am sure you know what to do.
As long as you are impartial and honest in what you do, the good lord will look after you.

Meanwhile, some of us are planning to take legal action abroad for her role as a NINJA in the rebel war. We are already seeking legal advice. Now that she is away from her political patrons and protectors, the egregious role played by this woman in our national grief needs to be exposed.
I don't believe there is a statute of limitations in prosecuting crimes against humanity. I advise all and sundry to seek the opinions of human rights lawyers in your cities to see if there is sufficient evidence to trot her to jail. We will soon come up with a website for all evidence against this rebel sympathiser to be posted.

Only an idiot like you also does not know that some of us cannot be Ministers of government because we are not registered voters in Sierra Leone, according to the constitution.
I have been doing my job without Pay for 5 years
Whatever happens, my promise of yesterday stands. Ah go support APC tay go. If e hart you, nar for go drown nar de Atlantic. That hostile treatment you people want some of us in the press to give Ernest Koroma will not happen.

Notorious Sierra Leoneans are on it again. This time, they have steeped up with an unserious campaign to attack Ernest Koroma for no just cause. When their siblings and tribal brothers were destroying Sierra Leone immediately Kabbah took office, this hypocrite and unpatriotic people did not say any word till Kabbah destoyred the military Institution by favouring the Kamajors.
There is no reason warranted an attack against Ernest Koroma at this time of his Presidency. Even at State house, it is full of the former regime personnel and all governmnet Offices are yet to conduct a clean environmnet for the new government to operate. It behooves me to read wicked and malicious stories about the new APC leader and others.
For Sylvia Blyden to sleep in the same room with someone who nearly killed her Mother and forced her Father into exile in the UK makes me to wonder the nature of Sylvia.
What I have made to understand that this woman has strayed away from godliness as she is working with evil forces to grab anything she wishes.
Hopefully, when she will think twice and see that many people have turned their back against her for dining with the devil.
My advice to the Cocorioko team is to stop reacting to all the unwarranted trash Sylvia is writing and turn their attention in giving good advice to our new leader.
Thats the way to go, Bro. Kanu.

Sylvia is not different from any oportunistic Sierra Leonean sycophant. Sierra Leoneans are opportunists by nature that' s why shaki rode rough shod over us for so many years.
Look at Sulay Daramy, he was kabba's right man.When the kabba staff when to pay a curtesy call on the new President, Who would they meet answering the phone? Sulay Daramy. Do not blame Sylvia. She is only playing the game. In two years , she will be the biggest APC booster.

High profile Bangladeshi jailed
Several politicians are accused of acquiring luxury properties
A former Bangladeshi and Asian cricket chief and MP has been sentenced to 13 years in jail as part of the government's fight against corruption.
Ali Asgar Lobi is an influential leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, and close to Tarique Rahman, the son of former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia.
Lobi's wife was also sentenced to three years imprisonment in the same case.
They were both found guilty on Sunday of acquiring wealth - including a house and a car - through dishonest means.
"The special court has jailed Lobi (for) 10 years for amassing a huge amount of illegal wealth. He was also sentenced (to) three years in jail for concealing income to the anti-corruption commission," prosecutor Mosharraf Hossain Kazal told the AFP news agency.
The former Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) lawmaker was also fined one million taka ($14.500) and had property deemed to be illegal confiscated.
Tarique Rahman has been in prison since March
Lobi served as president of the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) for five years, and from 2002-2004 was president of the Asian Cricket Council.
Meanwhile lawyers acting on behalf of the military-backed caretaker government say that plans to establish a "truth commission" - under which business people can confess their crimes - are now well underway.
"The government will set up the truth commission as soon as possible in a bid to spur economic activities which have slowed down after the authorities launched their crackdown," Syed Anisul Haq, a senior Supreme Court lawyer who is drawing up the proposals for the commission, told the AFP news agency.
"The idea is to offer an amnesty to top businessmen. Their absence has led to the collapse of their enterprises and dragged the whole economy down," he said.
He said that members of the business community wanting to benefit from the amnesty must return the proceeds of any corrupt deals.
Correspondents say it is the first time that Bangladeshi authorities have acknowledged that sweeping reforms aimed at cleaning up the country's notoriously corrupt political and economic system have had damaging side-effects.

I heard that she is SLPP propagandist. If so, why did she write NASTY Postings about the Mendes people?? Also, if I may ask, is she a Susu or Yalunka by tribe? Whoever used the words "JANGAMADIN and SOFALI" may either be a Susu or Yalunka or speaks one of the two Languages. Sofali and Jangamadin are very strong words

She used those words to confuse us about her identity. That's how devious she is. Just as she started with a pro APC stance in her postings so that she would gain credibility when she started attacking Ernest Koroma.
Even with the rancor that usually prevails on the forum, I was taken aback by the atrociousness and nastiness of her JANGAMADIN and SOFALI attcks against the Mendes. She really tried to hide her tracks but her vanity and self-destructive venom have gotten the better of her.

By the way, I was disappointed with Kabs' declaration of support for EBK. But honest folks wil agree that he has allowed people to differ vigorously with his positions and people have hurled personal attacks against him. Even in the free press in The States, most of the newspapers are slanted Democratic or Republican. As long as our rights to dissent and express on the forum are not compromised, I think we should all chill out and concentrate on productive discourse!

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

Racist graffiti suspect arrested in N.B.
Updated Sun. Oct. 7 2007 6:07 PM ET
CTV.ca News Staff
A day after a national anti-racism conference at New Brunswick's St. Thomas University, Fredericton police arrested a man in connection with posters defaced with racist slurs.
The Fredericton campus was rocked recently by racist slurs scrawled across posters advertising a campus concert. In one instance, the image of a St. Thomas student who fled war-torn Sierra Leone was defaced by the phrase "White power and no black."
"I was shocked," said Andrew Sahr Gborgbor, a 22-year old student and musician whose image was vandalized.
Gborgbor fled war-ravaged Sierra Leone three years ago. The poster was promoting a concert organized to raise awareness and money to help bring his mother come to Canada.
Students gathering for the anti-racism conference this weekend told CTV News that the incident highlights the need for anti-racism education.
"It's a matter of respect and looking at our history as a way of teaching for the future," said Candace Slamon, National Chair of SHOUT, a student anti-racism group.
Campus security cameras provided police with leads that led to an arrest, said Constable Ralph Currie of the Fredericton City Police told CTV News.
"A 40-year-old male, Mr. Chow Wang, was arrested subsequent to our ongoing investigation into the two incidents that were reported to us," he said.
Jenni Stoff, National Program Coordinator for the Canadian Centre for Diversity said the incident is motivating.
"It makes us see first hand that the work we are doing is so incredibly important," she said.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Do you now believe what I told many of you years ago at Leonenet and the NUP Forum ? I told you that now that the SLPP was in power then, some of us were getting serious problems pointing out the mistakes of the government.At that time, you could not say anything without being labelled RUF, APC , Mende-hater etc.
At that time, I used to tell you that some of the guys attacking me for criticising the SLPP knew me at college or had relatives who knew me.They were cognisant of the fact that I had always criticised governments, students council or national. I said that some of those crying me down used to hail me in college or downtown for my criticisms of Pa. Shaki's APC Government. They regarded me as a patriot and heaped all kinds of praises on me. I said that however now that the SLPP was in power, these same people had changed.Now, they do not regard criticism as an act of patriotism but a mende-hating enterprise or a genuflection of RUF traits. I told you then to wait until the APC came back to power.I said that these same people will expect me to be vitriolic and bitterly critical of the government. HAVEN'T WE COME TO THAT ?
Why do people now want me to be critical of Ernest Koroma and the APC government ? Was it not an offence only yesterday to criticise the SLPP government ? Was criticism of government then not regarded as an act of tribal-bashing, subversion and rebellion ? Why are people harassing my life for not criticising the new APC government ?
Do you people now see what I was saying all along ? Do you now see how some Sierra Leoneans behave ? What is sauce for the goose must not be sauce for the gander, according to them. The SLPP is a sacred cow, but the APC is a punching bag.
Well, bad news. I AM NOT GOING TO BE STUPID ANY MORE TO CRITICISE THE APC GOVERNMENT JUST LIKE THAT. Given the fact that Ernest Koroma was my college mate at FBC, and also given the fact that many APC officials have openly thanked me and confessed that I played a big part in their victory, I am going to be patient with this government and help to boost it and promote its goals and objectives . I am not going to be a fool again to antagonize another APC government. I am going to work along with this one until they achieve their lofty dreams for our country.
Criticising the SLPP was very bad and I was made to suffer at Leonenet, SLIS and the NUP Forum for years for pointing out the mistakes of the SLPP government .Well what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If criticising the SLPP then was an act of unpatriotism , criticising the APC today should also be an act of unpatriotism.
Ernest Koroma is the right man for the Sierra Leone of today. He has great plans for our nation. Lets us all therefore jump onboard and work patiently with him to help him achieve his goals.
MAY GOD BLESS OUR NEW PRESIDENT AND HIS GOVERNMENT.

Kabs, I respectfully disagree with your statement that you would not be criticizing the newly elected APC Government,apparently because of yoyur friendship with the President.
Well I also happen to know the President personally and I have been his staunch defender on this forum because I strongly believe that he would make a difference in our economic well being,but,I also believe that constructively criticizing him will boost his Government as mistakes that are not seen by the inside eye would be pointed out to them by us in the outside looking in.
There is an adage in krio,that"tell fren tru nor pwell fren",I intend to continue supporting the president but at the same time be offering criticism when it is necessary.Kabs,you have done a great job with your newspaper and this forum and I am sure you would not like to be perceived as the Awareness Times of the APC.
I know that some people will always hate you for the role you played in bringing down their corrupt Government,but please for the sake of the marginalised,downtrodden,used,misused and abused people of Sierra Leone let us continue the fight on their behalf.The fight of having a Government that is responsive to the needs of the people,the fight of calling out our leaders when they are involved in corrupt practices,the fight of equality and justice in our motherland.
The struggle continues until the aspirations of our peole ar met.

Kabs, this will only shame those who have been defending your journalistic style all along. You are not the first Sierra Leonean to put self and partisan interest above national interest and will not be the last. No matter what promise your college mate may have made to you, we just hope that as a Reverend, you will for the sake of our country give him good advice.
Actually, some of us just have only been reading what was in the forum for a long time as your front page has just been a propaganda piece for the new administration since the election. You are now no better than Sylvia Blyden who we all used to condemn. What does it pay a man to gain the world and lose his soul. A sad day. May you get the wordly riches you have been praying for.

You were criticising Sylvia Blyden most unfairly based on propaganda put here by Kabs Kanu and his team of APC.
Blyden's paper was the most objective throughout the last one year. Go back and check.

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

I am a new and independent voice on this forum, and it is with some concern .. not that some people care ... that I write to express my disappointment at Kab's outright acknowledgment of partisanship. As a new reader of Cocorioko, I did sense some partisanship, but dismissed it because I wanted to give the paper and forum the benefit of the doubt in hopes that things will happen at the right time. Besides, the reality of life is that we all have our own biases, which are reflected in the things we do, say, etc. ... even reflected in the forums we choose to join or the newspapers we read ... if you get my point. However, it was disappointing to say the least to see Kabs admittedly be so blatant about his support for, and arrogant about his contribution to the ruling parties triumphant victory. I believe Kabs , as the editor-in-chief could have been diplomatic about his unwavering support for the party and continued to do business as usual – some will catch-up to the partisanship and others like us, would continued to just wonder, wait and expect constructive feedback for the ruling party at the right time and when it is needed - constructive feedback is always needed for development and growth.
I hope Kabs will reconsider his decision and try to refrain from taking sides under the guise of “fair” reporting. Frankly, we need to help foster an environment in Sierra Leone where our politicians will be held accountability for their actions and do the right thing for the people. Speaking truth to power in a free society is the greatest thing that could happen for any great nation . I am sure His Excellency (EBK)... and we all know how great of a leader he is going to be ... will appreciate and wholeheartedly welcome constructive criticism of his administration at any time.
Sincerely,
Independent Voice

It is just so amazing what you have succeeded in doing with this piece. You have only confirmed what many had suspected you to be (APC mouthpiece) for a very long time. I will tell you this much. Nothing is wrong in being a partisan, but you cannot be an objective journalist and PRO for APC at the same time. Sir, I cannot lecture you on this, but an objective journalist calls the spade its proper name regardless of his/her interest. I am sure most Sierra Leoneans at this juncture are praying that the current government succeeds, for if it did, our people's plight will hopefully be alleviated. Yet, that does not mean that people cannot genuinely criticize when there is the need. It is so wrong to think that the APC government will only succeed if you merely give it a pass. It is even worse that such a statement can come from a journalist who often refers to himself as fair and balanced. Anyway, I applaud you for being very honest about what is going to be your role now. Good luck with your PR job.

One of the things about dysfunctional systems is that people don't have an appreciation for normal. Reading the comments of some it is apparent that they are content with the status quo or even worse as long as an APC government can't take credit for improving the country. People need to ask themselves how long is reasonable to expect to see changes. The country did not get the way it is overnight, so it's not realistic to expect changes to happen quickly either.

Yes, we shall encourage and support the APC government in every way possible and endeavour to be constructive in our criticism when we have cause or reason to criticize - and even there it is a way of seeing, a point of view, maybe a disagreement as to how to go about being more helpful – not in oreder to destroy the APC governemnet out of sheer malice and being abad loser. A bad loser who did not criticize the SLPP and still voted for the SLPP in spite of all they know that ..
There are those who want to criticize everything, those whose pastime consists in making mountains out of mole hills and creating storms in teacups.
Those are their miracles, and what the SLPP did not do since the SLPP came into existence, they would like the APC to accomplish in 24 hours.
Please read the APC Manifesto and president Koroma’s address at the Opening of Parliament. Get acquainted with the idea (reality) that we live in a world of cause and effect and that the Government’ miracles will therefore take a little longer – not forever, because steps are already being taken to eliminate those leakages in the national bucket as was THE SYSTEM under the SLPP government. The system of impunity that was above and beyond the rule of law and one of the problems that arrested our development.

Rev KABS-KANU, in all due respect, I am advising you to do what is in the interest of Sierra Leone. I love President Earnest Koroma to death, the same way I love Mr. O.F.Yansaneh whom you know very well, my brother. Nonetheless, I will love Sierra Leone more than I will ever love them. I learned from Mr. Yansaneh, particularly his father, Alhaji Foday Yansaneh that when one gives you a positive criticism, they have seen a pit that they would not wish for you to fall into. Otherwise, they will let the blind the lead the blind, who escapes the pit is his luck.
Alhaji Foday, at the time, I thought was hard on me when he use to tell me not to wear certain pants, though these were in fashion; for example “gun-mot,” “stop the war” or any pants that was too tight that showed sign of my manhood. My aunt, Hajah Fatu Mansaray and all our mothers use to be very upset with him. I listened and when he realized that I am a listener, he became my advocate and friend. When I listened things changed drastically especially with my love life. May their souls rest in perfect peace. I appreciate.
Back to the topic, be who you are for your children and their children’s-children’s sake and for the people of Sierra Leone, including the government. Our governments were hurting because the leaders did not have people who would tell them the truth. It will be fatal should you see the President leading a wrong direction without pinpointing it to him. One would not know leadership until one works closer to one; when you are close but far, in which case you make open-minded observation about the leader, his desires and those that surround him. I will always respect President Joseph Saidu Momoh and Mr. Yansaneh knows why.
There is a difference between gossip, character assassination and advice. Until we know the difference, we are sure to be angry and make very many mistakes.
Prophets had their confidants but they also consulted with wise people. You serve a God whose work you must do by doing the right thing and expect His reward. You must be yourself and serve Him and Sierra Leone. If you deviate that obligation or from any of the two to either satisfy your detractors or the government, you will be doing yourself a disservice.
We all wish that God will guide President Koroma and his government to succeed. But again, our people say that a pumpkin no matter how watery it may, when cooking it one has to add more water. The President cannot do it alone nor can the government do it by themselves. We have to respectfully participate in giving respectful advice to them, free from hate, jealousy, intent on character assassination and the pull-down syndrome to giving constructive criticism when it is due. Most misconstrue criticism to be always bad. It all depends on how one thread between the fine-line.
Be yourself.

Subject: THE UNTOLD SUFFERING IN THE CONGO
Untold Suffering in the Congo
by Keith Harmon Show and David Barouski
The British medical journal Lancet recently took greater notice of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) than all western media outlets combined. A group of physicians reported that about 4 million people have died since the "official" outbreak of the Congolese war in 1998 (1). The BBC reported the war in Congo has claimed more lives than any armed conflict since World War II (2). However, experts working in the Congo, and Congolese survivors, count over 10 million dead since war began in 1996-not 1998-with the U.S.-backed invasion to overthrow Zaire's President Joseph Mobutu. While the western press quantifies African deaths all the time, no statistic can quantify the suffering of the Congolese.
Some people are aware that war in the Congo is driven by the desire to extract raw materials, including diamonds, gold, columbium-tantalite (coltan), niobium, cobalt, copper, uranium and petroleum. Mining in the Congo by western companies proceeds at an unprecedented rate, and it is reported that some $6 million in raw cobalt alone-an element of superalloys essential for nuclear, chemical, aerospace and defense industries-exits DRC daily. Any analysis of the geopolitics in the Congo requires an understanding of the organized crime perpetrated through multinational businesses, in order to understand the reasons why the Congolese people have suffered a virtually unending war since 1996.
Some people have lauded great progress in the exposure of illegal mining in DRC, particularly by the group Human Rights Watch (HRW), whose 2005 report "The Curse of Gold" exposed Ugandan officials and multi-national corporations smuggling gold through local rebel militias. The cited rebel groups were the Nationalist and Integrationist Front (FNI) and the People's Armed Forces of Congo (FAPC). The western companies targeted by HRW were Anglo-Ashanti Gold, a company headquartered in South Africa, and Metalor, a Swedish firm. The HRW report failed to mention that Anglo-Ashanti is partnered with Anglo-American, owned by the Oppenheimer family and partnered with Canada-based Barrick Gold described below (3).
London-based Anglo-American Plc. owns a 45% share in DeBeers, another Oppenheimer company that is infamous for its near monopoly of the international diamond industry (4). Sir Mark Moody-Stuart, a director of Anglo-American, is a director of Royal Dutch/Shell and a member of U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan's Advisory Board (5). The report also suppressed the most damning evidence discovered by HRW researchers-that Anglo-Ashanti sent its top lawyers into eastern DRC to aid rebel militia leaders arrested there.
Several multinational mining companies have rarely if ever been mentioned in any human rights report. One is Barrick Gold, who operates in the town of Watsa, northwest of the town of Bunia, located in the most violent corner of the Congo. The Ugandan People's Defense Force (UPDF) controlled the mines intermittently during the war. Officials in Bunia claim that Barrick executives flew into the region, with UPDF and RPF (Rwanda Patriotic Front) escorts, to survey and inspect their mining interests (6).
George H.W. Bush served as a paid advisor for Barrick Gold. Barrick directors include: Brian Mulroney, former PM of Canada; Edward Neys, former U.S. ambassador to Canada and chairman of the private PR firm Burston-Marsteller; former U.S. Senator Howard Baker; J. Trevor Eyton, a member of the Canadian Senate; and Vernon Jordan, one of Bill Clinton's lawyers (7).
Barrick Gold is one of the client companies of Andrew Young's Goodworks International lobbying firm. Andrew Young is the former Mayor of Atlanta, and a key organizer of the U.S.-Uganda Friendship Council. Young was chosen by President Clinton to chair the Southern Africa Enterprise Development Fund in October 1994. Goodworks' clients-or business partners in some cases-include Coke, Chevron-Texaco, Monsanto, and the governments of Angola and Nigeria (note weapons transfers from Nigeria cited below).
Young is a director of Cox Communications and Archers Daniels Midland-the "supermarket to the world" and National Public Radio sponsor whose directors include Brian Mulroney (Barrick) and G. Allen Andreas, a member of the European Advisory Board of The Carlyle Group.
Barrick Gold's mining partners have included Adastra Mining - formerly named America Mineral Fields (AMFI, AMX, other names), formerly based in Hope, Arkansas, Bill Clinton's hometown. Adastra had close ties with Lazare Kaplan International Inc., the largest diamond brokerage firm in the U.S., whose president, Maurice Tempelsman, has been an advisor on African Affairs to the U.S. Government and has been the U.S. Honorary Consul General of the Congo since 1977 (8).
Maurice Tempelsman accompanied Bill Clinton during his African tour in 1998, and he sails with the Clintons off Martha's Vineyard. He serves on the International Advisory Council of the American Stock Exchange, and is a director of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, a "scientific" front for his offshore diamond mining-raking the seabed into oblivion.
Adastra also purchased a diamond concession on the Congolese-Angolan border from the Belgian mercenary firm International Defense and Security (1998), and currently has cobalt and copper concessions in Congo's Katanga (Shaba) province (9). Adastra is a member of the Corporate Council on Africa, along with Goodworks, Halliburton, Chevron-Texaco, Northrop Grumman, GE, Boeing, Raytheon, Bechtel and SAIC-the latter two being secretive intelligence and defense entities involved in classified and supra-governmental "black" projects.
In April 1997, Jean-Ramon Boulle, a co-founder of Adastra (then AMFI), received a $1 billion dollar deal for mines in the Congo at Kolwezi (cobalt) and Kipushi (zinc) from Laurent Kabila's Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Zaire (ADFL) before they were even officially in power. The ADFL were even allowed to use Boulle's private jet (10). Meanwhile, directors of Adastra are also former directors of Anglo-American (11). Other Clinton-connected founders of Adastra include Michael McMurrough and Robert Friedland-both involved in shady, criminal, offshore businesses in Indonesia, Africa, Burma and the Americas (12).
Barrick sub-contracts to Caleb International, who has also partnered with Adastra in the past. Caleb is run by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni's half-brother Salim Saleh, the former acting General of the UPDF. When Uganda withdrew from the Congo in 2002 following a so-called "peace" agreement, Saleh began training paramilitary groups to act as Ugandan proxies to sustain the flow of minerals into Uganda (13).
Salim Saleh is a shareholder in Catalyst Co. of Canada, who has a 100% interest in Uganda's Kaabong gold fields (14). He is a part owner of Saracen, a private military company created by the mercenaries-for-hire firm Executive Outcomes (15). The U.N. Panel of Experts on Illegal Exploitation of Congo's Mineral Resources recommended Salim Saleh be put on a travel ban and have his assets frozen, but nothing was done.
Recent interventions by the armed U.N. peacekeeping mission in the Congo (MONUC) have concentrated on disarming or eliminating the Forces for the Democratic Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR), a rebel group that opposes Rwanda, and the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group that opposes Uganda. (Note that the Rwanda military has partnered with its erstwhile "enemies"-the FDLR-when necessary to secure resource plunder while Uganda has its own pattern of complicity with its "rebel" enemies. Rebel alliances are to perpetually shifting.)
The removal of these rebel groups will effectively clear the eastern Congo for large-scale multi-national mining. The Mai-Mai militia, whose stated goal is "to protect Congo from Rwandan and Ugandan invaders," has committed documented human rights abuses, yet they appear to be off the agenda for MONUC. The Mai-Mai operate in northern Katanga (Shaba) province and in the Kivus.
Katanga's militias and racketeering are connected to criminal networks of businessmen, including Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe, Billy Rautenbach, John Bredenkamp, and Marc Rich. U.S. diamond magnate Maurice Tempelsman has profited from Katanga concessions since the Kennedy era. Lawrence Devlin, the old CIA station chief of Lubumbashi under Eisenhower, maintained Tempelsman's criminal rackets with direct ties to Zaire's former President Mobutu, and was subsequently employed by Tempelsman (16).
The Forrest Group has the longest history of exploitation in the Congo, gaining its first mining concessions before the Congo declared independence from the Belgians. The group, which includes the Ohio-based OM Group, has numerous concessions in Katanga (Shaba). Chairman George Forrest is the former chairman of the Congo's state-owned mining firm GECAMINES, and owner of the New Lachaussee weapons manufacturing company.
Coltan ore is widely used in the aerospace and electronics industries for capacitors, superconductors and transistors after it is refined to tantalum. The U.S. is entirely dependant on foreign sources for tantalum, an enabling technology for capacitors essential to aerospace weaponry and every pager, cell phone, computer, VCR, CD player, P.D.A. and TV. U.S. import records show a dramatic jump of purchases from Rwanda and Uganda during the time they were smuggling tantalum and cobalt out of the Congo.
Sony dramatically increased their importation of coltan following the release of their Playstation 2, while Compaq, Microsoft, Dell, Ericsson, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Nokia, Intel, Lucent, and Motorola are also large-scale consumers (17). Sony's current Executive Vice-President and General Counsel Nicole Seligman was a former legal adviser for Bill Clinton through the D.C. firm Williams and Connelly, LLP, whose clients included Bill Clinton and Oliver North (18). Sony Executive Vice-President and Chief Financial Officer Robert Wiesenthal is a former banker with First Boston, a supporter of Refugees International's "humanitarian" relief efforts at Rwandan refugee camps in Eastern Congo, just before the fall of Mobutu in 1995; Wiesenthal was also financial adviser to Cox Communications, OM Group, Time Warner and The New York Times (19).
Walter Kansteiner, the son of a coltan trader in Chicago, is the Assistant Secretary of State for Africa and former member of the Dept. of Defense Task Force on Strategic Minerals. Kansteiner's speech at The Forum for International Policy in October of 1996 advocated partitioning the Congo (then Zaire) into smaller states based on ethnic lineage (20). Ironically, while the speech was given, Laurent Kabila and his ADFL were beginning their march to overthrow Mobutu with the aid of Rwanda, Uganda, and the U.S. (21). Kansteiner is a trustee of the Africa Wildlife Foundation-another euphemistic front for resource acquisition in Congo.
Bechtel, a U.S. aerospace & construction company, provided satellite maps of reconnaissance photos of Mobutu's troops for the ADFL invasion of Congo in 1996; they also created infrared maps of the Congo's mineral deposits (22). The Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF), led by Paul Kagame, the current Rwandan President graduate of the U.S. Army officers school at Fort Leavenworth, used Bechtel's NASA maps to locate Rwandan Hutu civilians that fled the cataclysm in Rwanda in 1994. An estimated 800,000 refugees were hunted down and killed in the Congo's forests (23). Bechtel's friends in high places include former Secretary of State George Shultz (Board of Directors), former Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger (Bechtel Counsel) and retired U.S.M.C. general Jack Sheehan (Senior Vice President), who is also a member of the Defense Policy Board at the Pentagon (24). Riley P. Bechtel is on the Board of J.P. Morgan (25). Bechtel's Nexant Company is the prime contractor on the Uganda-Kenya pipeline project, believed to ultimately facilitate petroleum transport out of the Semliki Basin of Lake Albert.
The U.N. Panel of Experts named New England-based Cabot Co. for conducting unethical business practices (26). Cabot is one of the largest tantalum processors in the world. The current Deputy Director of the U.S. Treasury, Samuel Bodman, was CEO and chairman of the board for Cabot from 1997-2001 (27). Current Director John H. McArthur is a Senior Advisor to Paul Wolfowitz at the World Bank (28).
Private Military Contractors (PMCs) are also big business in Africa. Brown & Root, a subsidiary of Halliburton, helped build a military base near Cyangugu, Rwanda just next to the Congo-Rwandan border. "Officially," Brown and Root was there to clear land mines, but instead housed mercenaries from Military Professional Resources Inc. (MPRI) who trained the RPF and Laurent Kabila's ADFL for invasion of the Congo in 1996, and the Rwandan army's re-invasion in 1998, after Laurent Kabila threw out the Rwandans, Ugandans, Bechtel and the IMF (29). The French intelligence service reported that U.S. Special Forces and mercenaries from MPRI participated in the murder of Rwandan Hutu refugees on the Oso River near Goma in 1996 and even claims to have turned over the bodies of two American soldiers killed in combat near Goma (30). The circumstances surrounding the unofficial recovery of these two U.S. soldiers remain very mysterious (31).
MPRI is based in Arlington, Virginia and is staffed and run by 36 retired U.S. generals. It is contracted by the Pentagon to fulfill the African Crisis Responsive Initiative (ACRI). This program includes the Ugandan military, and it supplied military training in guerrilla warfare to Ugandan officers at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in July 1996. During the invasion of the Congo in 1998, Ugandan soldiers were found with ACRI equipment while Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have implicated Ugandan battalions trained by ACRI in rapes, murders, extortion, and beatings of Ugandan civilians (32).
Executive Outcomes founder Tony Buckingham has established other Private Military Companies that operate around Africa. Buckingham's Heritage Oil & Gas works closely with his PMC Sandline International to manipulate the petroleum options around Lake Albert, and is believed to have signed concession deals with warring armies and governments on both sides of the Uganda-Congo border. Branch Energy is another Buckingham affiliated company operating in the Great Lakes region.
Investigations of illegal weapons sales to Rwanda last year, in violation of the U.N. arms embargo on the region, have been hampered by the Rwandan government's refusal to provide a list of serial numbers of the 5000 AK-47s delivered there. The shipping country, Bulgaria, also refused to provide serial numbers, and would only confirm that the weapons were sold legally to a non-embargo country, Nigeria, en route to Rwanda and DRC. The governments of Uganda, Congo, South Africa and Equatorial Guinea-a major U.S. petroleum protectorate-are equally culpable in supporting the clandestine arms sales to the region (33).
Weapons shipments arriving by boat from Tanzania, and the Government of Tanzania's role in supporting war in DRC, are never questioned. This may have something to do with Barrick Gold's mining licenses in Tanzania's Masaai territories. Aircraft flying between Tanzania, DRC, and from Kenya, are allowed to do so without proper documentation, record-keeping or customs oversight.
Another shady "untouchable" arms dealer operating behind the scenes in the region is an Indian-American named Mr. Kotecha. Kotecha's interests in South Kivu are substantial, and he is openly fingered as dealing in money laundering, arms, coltan and diamonds. After the first U.S.-sponsored invasion of the Congo in 1996, Kotecha is known to have repeatedly boasted of being the "United States Consulate" in South Kivu. Kotecha holds a U.S. passport and owns a mansion in California.
When an outspoken local defender of human rights working for a small NGO (Pascal Kabungulu of Heritiers de la Justice) was assassinated during the summer of 2005 in Bukavu, the alleged killers, including a local Congolese military commander, were identified but MONUC and the international "community" took no action. The killing revolved around his role in exposing the Congolese commanders' involvement in contraband smuggling (which continues today).
A U.N. Panel of Experts in a forthcoming report will challenge many airlines and companies for undertaking illicit flights (illegal, secret, unregistered or falsely registered) into and out of DRC. One of many notable companies apparently connected to Victor Bout's arms trafficking networks is Simax, an Oregon-based company using an address in Sierra Leone. However, the U.N. Panel of Experts has once again ignored certain western agencies-with histories of illicit activities-whose flights remain equally surreptitious and unaccountable.
At the top of the list is the International Rescue Committee (IRC)-directors include Henry Kissinger -whose flights in and out of Congo, and internal flights to and from isolated airports in eastern DRC, are completely unmonitored by MONUC arms embargo inspectors. In Bukavu, for example, all light aircraft are subject to MONUC arms embargo inspections, but IRC flights are not within the MONUC mandate. As one MONUC Military Observer admitted, "The IRC should be subject to the same standards as everyone else; otherwise we have to assume they are shipping weapons, because they do not let us confirm they are not."
Similarly, while the U.N. Panel of Experts have investigated and reported on certain illegal criminal networks and activities in Congo, they never attend to the top-level deals brokered behind closed doors by executives from Adastra, Anglo-American, the companies of Sweden's Adolph Lundin (a close friend of George H.W. Bush), who have control of mining concessions in Lubumbashi, Kolwezi and Mbuji Mayi areas in the Katanga (Shaba) and Kasai provinces. U.S.-based Phelps Dodge is partnered in Katanga copper/cobalt mining projects with Lundin's Tenke Mining. Phelps Dodge director Douglas C. Yearly is also a director of Lockheed Martin, and the World Wildlife Fund-partnered with USAID and CARE in "conservation"-read: acquisition-projects all over Congo while CARE's "humanitarian" agenda is also funded by Lockheed Martin.
"Conservation" interests provide the vanguard of western penetration in Central Africa: USAID, WWF, AWF, and Conservation International lead the charge. Evidence from USAID cases all over Congo quickly contradicts all fanfare about USAID bringing "sustainable" or "community development" projects. Most notable are the Central Africa Region Partnership for the Environment (CARPE) and Congo Basin Forest Partnership (CBFP), two programs pressing hidden military, intelligence and economic agendas. Notably, National Geographic is involved in furthering the mythologies of conservation, democracy, community development, or the lip service paid to respecting and supporting indigenous people.
Some people have suggested the reason that there isn't greater awareness and equitable intervention in the Congo is because "we simply don't know what to do" to remedy the situation. However, it is fairly clear what needs to be done, the West is just unwilling to do it because of powerful economic and geopolitical reasons.
Footnotes:
1. U.S. Military Training programs must have an oversight committee and total transparency. Western governments must end their hypocritical stance and ensure they don't train any "rebel" or "dissident" groups, especially if they are against a democratically elected government (provided the elections weren't fraudulent), even if the elected government isn't politically aligned with the western ideology and/or economic ideals. To do otherwise would refute claims that the west is intervening to "spread democracy."
2. In parallel with number 1, a committee must be set up to ensure the same doesn't occur for the private military companies. As multinational corporations, these firms aren't subject to obey laws of warfare as an established country's armed forces are supposed to. The U.N. must pass resolutions mandating the World Court and International Criminal Court (ICC) to prosecute such corporations. Lastly, when such companies are exposed for conducting illegal activities, such as aiding coups or trafficking human slaves, the corporations who conduct these activities must be blacklisted from receiving government contracts, domestic or international, and the guilty individuals must be prosecuted (34).
3. In the arms arena, more substantial efforts must be created to intercept and prosecute "embargo busters," illegal brokers, and arms sellers. Furthermore, those selling, transporting, brokering, funding, or wiring arms transactions for weapons specifically intended for children should receive the harshest of the penalties (certain "small weapons" are modified to reduce their weight to make it easier for a child to carry). Firms that participate in arms shipments, transport and/or the movement of the flow of the money generated from these sales with countries, people or organizations that are embargoed or act against national or international law should be held accountable for their crimes. Assets can be frozen, travel bans imposed, and all government and economic business ties with such firms severed. These penalties must also have an assurance of enforcement.
4. Debt relief is essential, but ways must be found to protect IMF and World Bank loans from being used for military expenditures. The motivations of World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz are suspect. Dr. Wolfowitz is a former Deputy Secretary of Defense under George W. Bush, a former ambassador to Indonesia under Ronald Reagan, a PNAC member, and dual citizen in Israel. Likewise, the World Bank and IMF must shift their policy of privatization as a stipulation for loan approval in order to stimulate business growth within the state instead of having the business sector growth be almost entirely from multinational corporations. The World Bank and IMF must also provide debt relief to the counties that need it most according to economic indicators. Some countries receiving debt relief, like Uganda and Rwanda, are among the biggest spenders of their loans in the military sector (35). It must be ensured that a majority of spending occurs on infrastructure and public services, and that this does not benefit the standard set of "embedded" western corporations. It must also be ensured the loan money is used in areas that need development the most. For example, in Uganda, the loan money Museveni has used for development has focused in the south in Kampala, the capital, and in Mbarra, his hometown. Meanwhile, the Acholi people, who always vote against Museveni's party in the polls, are ignored and the situation in the Lira, Gulu, and Kitgum districts continues to deteriorate. In addition, individual countries must examine the aid they give to countries that spend a high percentage of capital on military, as well as commit human rights abuses. Lastly, debt relief doesn't harm banks that gave the loans in the first place and collect on some of the interest rates, not to mention the American businesses that make profit on the privatized businesses as part of the loan deal. The debt is transferred to the taxpayers, so transparency is needed to insure that costs are also incurred by the firms granting the loans (if they want credit for their "humanitarian" debt relief).
5. Western countries must end the impunity for those responsible for looting minerals from Congo. Firms that purchase smuggled minerals, and/or purchase concessions from illegitimate rebel groups must be prosecuted. The World Court recently made a start by convicting Uganda and fining the government, but Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia, and Zimbabwe remain unaccountable for their direct pirating, as are the Western firms that purchased the minerals, and Western individuals supporting them. (The Kimberly Process, established with the support of academic and intelligence experts at Harvard University, is a perfect example of the gatekeepers policing their own gates: the huge, entrenched, but secretive interests like the Oppenheimer/DeBeers and Maurice Tempelsman owned companies are legitimized as dealers of "clean" diamonds; while the other, far less connected competitors and challengers of the status quo, including Congolese children sneaking into mines and being shot for "stealing" the diamonds off their own starving families' former lands, are demonized as dealers of "blood" diamonds.)
6. The World Court and International Criminal Court must hold all military and civilian leaders-African, U.S., European-that are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity accountable for their actions. The West must not be allowed to shield criminals from prosecution by virtue of their economic and political alliances with Western governments. Governments that harbor these criminals should be subject to prosecution. Economic sanctions may not be proper, as poor nations generally suffer severe civilian casualties as a result; specific involved individuals in government and the military must be held accountable.
7. "Peacekeeping" forces, in particular MONUC, must be examined to ensure that the mission is being conducted with the interests of promoting stability in the country. As illustrated, elements of MONUC have used the mission as a cover to further the agenda of the West and its corporate sponsors under the banner of "peacekeeping," causing the death of civilians in the process: those responsible should be tried and prosecuted. It must also be ensured that the investigations don't stop at individual soldiers or brigades committing crimes, but to examine the chain of command and their allegiances to uncover the motivations behind MONUC operations. There have been reports of MONUC troops looting ivory, gold, and animal skins in National Parks. Villagers say that they have seen murders occur right in front of MONUC soldiers and they didn't act to prevent the killings (36). MONUC soldiers have raped Congolese women (37).
When pro-Rwandan rebel leaders Laurent Nkunda and Jules Mutibusi, both war criminals wanted by the U.N., took over Bukavu by force in May 2004, MONUC provided them with weapons and vehicles. Nkunda himself has stated the head of MONUC, William Swing, personally gave him a telephone to use during the raid. (38)
8. The international media is completely silent on virtually every major issue of significance with respect to war in DRC-and the international and criminal networks behind it. Misinformation about Africa prevails due to a concerted effort by the mainstream media to blackout the truth. A boycott of key publications is imperative, and must include the most offensive: Boston Globe, Washington Post, Newsweek, Time, US News & World Report, USA Today, New York Times, the New Yorker (Conde Nast Publications), Harper's, Atlantic Monthly (highly subsidized by Lockheed Martin and Northrup Grumman) and, especially, National Geographic.
9. The fog of war needs to be cleared away from so-called "humanitarian" and "human rights" programs, organizations and individuals currently aligned with the Western corporate enterprise. Notables in this category include: Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, CARE, USAID, Norwegian People's Aid, International Crises Group, International Rescue Committee, Refugees International, the Genocide Intervention Fund, and many U.N. bodies, but especially UNHCR. Most of these agencies appear to exist merely to perpetuate their own survival. Doctors Without Borders also deserves scrutiny for their recent actions in DRC.
10. The peace and justice community remains unaccountable for its failure to take any significant actions to mitigate war in Congo and expose the true reasons behind it. A first step should be open up the spaces to alternative voices currently excluded by major social justice media venues. Second is to declare a total boycott on diamonds and gold, and an organized campaign to protest and economically castigate diamond stores where Lazare diamonds are sold. A third action is the commitment of meaningful funds-both from individuals and from organizations-to support the vibrant grass roots organizations and individuals working for human rights, women's health, disarmament, education, food security, rainforest and environmental defense in Congo. Fourth, people need to break through their fear (inculcated by the western media) of taking action to help people in the Congo: there is no reason-except the unacceptable-that westerners cannot establish a "Witness for Peace" program situated in the Congo.
11. Rights groups with missions pertinent to Congo's need must expand their missions to include Congo. Rape is endemic in the Congo: a source of psychological and physical trauma, it contributes to the spread of HIV, Ebola and other sexually transmitted diseases. Survivors often give birth to HIV positive children with no prospects for medical or financial help. This has lead to an insurmountable need for aid to care for the orphans. Mothers of children conceived of rape are often disowned by their village and families. Western feminist and women's rights activists and organizations must get involved and provide resources for the victims of rape in Congo. Those responsible for rapes must be tried and punished as per the law if guilty. Indeed, evidence from rape cases in rural DRC shows that sexual violence is significantly reduced simply by holding military officers accountable for their troops' actions, but this is not happening.
12. MONUC's Radio Okapi is the lifeline of news in DRC today, but programming is largely comprised of U.N. programming. The United Nations needs to be pressured to open up the Radio Okapi network, eliminate the "fluff" pieces, and diversify and deepen its programming and reportage. As a simple example of how things could easily be improved in DRC, programs that sensitize the public o the issue of rape, and sensitize the military to the punishment for it, could easily be implemented; such programming is never considered.
13. The transitional government in Congo is comprised of military leaders and government officials who must be held accountable for their crimes. Like the individuals, organizations, corporations and governments that have supported them, all are responsible for crimes against humanity. The current profiteering in DRC is enabled by these key players, who hold the highest levels of the DRC government, and whose crimes remain hidden by the western press. The transitional government must not be allowed to appoint war criminals to cabinet or parliamentary positions, as well as local governor positions in the provinces.

I have just revealed the hypocritical brothers on this forum. The responses one gets from a message on Cocorioko depends not so much on the contextual validity of the message than its musical appeal. In layman's terms, the insults or compliments you get on Cocorioko depends on how well your message was sweetened for popular appeal. Asking Kabs Kanu to be considerate in his glorification of Ernest Koroma, proved too caustic for some people. I was born and raised in Sierra Leone. I know how yellow Journalism works hand in glove with sycophancy to lull leaders into believing that they are God's anointed. Here is an example. While wishing Ernest Koroma a happy birth day, Cocorioko fulsomely flattered the President with the following words:
"You have come to our beloved nation like Daniel come to Redemption. We believe that you are God-sent to lead our nation out of the morass of socio-economic and political backwardness."
The smarminess in the above nonsense is too mushy to be taken seriously. When did an untested President become so divine as to evoke Biblical comparisons? Apart from replacing an effete SLPP government through elections, what else has President Koroma done to attract "God-sent" encomiums like the ones quoted above? President Koroma is yet to fire his first political shot, but insincere compliments are already making him a rescuer from God.
Lest we forget, Stevens, Strasser, and JS Momoh the mental pigmy, were all viewed as "God-sent" before they could even begin to discharge menace on Sierra Leone. In the case of Momoh, the song that greeted him in power, "oodat gee Momoh power? Nar God!", will remain unparallel in infamy.
Political sycophancy is apparently a Sierra Leonean trait. No amount of national suffering will expose us to the fact that leaders in a failed nation are better treated with cynicism than flattery. President Koroma is a Sierra Leonean equal to Biblical redeemers of the oppressed? Not so fast, Please! How unu bad-off so?

Bra Enviable,

Muctarr introduced me to the Cuban newspaper Gramma which at that time was one of the main sources of his oratorical – and rhetorical inspiration. Muctarr was head and shoulders more politically mature and savvy than the rest of us – the rest of us including his best friends my classmates Desmond Easmon and George Morgan.

Bra Enviable,
There are English language traditions - of expressing optimism, joy, hope in the future!
Much of it derives from some of the prophetic language of the Hebrew translated into the King James Version with which most of those who are the beneficiaries of a missionary education are familiar. It is true that there is an English type of culture that goes with the English language, and it may be observed that the British as a whole do not like enthusiasts – and do not tend to be effusive – unless showing great emotion – and mostly through the medium of Romantic poetry or a BBC football commentary - since football is an occasion for emotion - sometimes expressing itself through hooliganism, and other times, e.g. the last time that England won the world cup – by defeating Germany at Wembley, an occasion for GREAT EMOTION! The Football commentators were singing and I heard an aria or two – and some spontaneous poetry – yes, Bobby Charlton has been a redeemer on more than one occasion – and if Brian London (an Englishman) had won the world heavyweight crown – well, then most probably he could have ascended the throne by popular approval as the new King of England.
Indeed Ernest Bai Koroma defeated da so called ”bomba” just as David the Shepherd boy brought Goliath down to Earth and received a similar standing ovation.
The Latin temperment is of quite a more passionate nature – I’m thinking of the Spanish speaking world of Fidel’s oratory ( incidnetally Ché is being celebrated - it’s his 40th Anniversary now…….. I’m also thinking of the visionary language of some of the French philosophers ( contrasted with the logical positivists) Think of the Italian temperament and the emotionality of Russian-speaking Georgians. And during the apartheid years, the ideological passions of many of my South African friends - all of them great intellectuals, poets , writers, musicians, artists, activists. I’m sure that James Alie can tell you that Molefe Pheto fits all those categories.
Sierra Leoneans also have a right and a poetic license to express their emotions in any politically worded poetic extravaganzas that may overflow from their minds and their lips.
They can contrast the redeemer with the abysmal failure.
So I ask you: At this juncture, what's wrong with a partisan commentator - a san-san boy like me saying about president Koroma and the miracle (against all the odds stacked against them) of the opposition's victory in SIERRA LEONE,
"You have come to our beloved nation like Daniel come to Redemption. We believe that you are God-sent to lead our nation out of the morass of socio-economic and political backwardness.”?
It's a sentiment presently expressed in good faith and hope – a way of talking, that's all! Perhaps it lacks the scientific precision of the kind of pessimism a sour grapes pro SLPPer would like us to confine ourselves to – all in the name of a dead objectivity that would like to deny a presently euphoric APCer – and dictate that we feel other than what you feel.
And as Madiba Nelson Mandela said when the Wild West objected to him visiting his friend Colonel Muammar al-Qadhafi of Africa, “If you don’t like it you can go jump in a pool!”

Bra Enviable, the above quotation it seems is directed towards the failures of the SLPP rather than praising Ernest Koroma.
According to those who voted the SLPP out of power, Satan could have been considered "God sent" if he had "chased" the SLPP out of town.
Consider the word "REDEMPTION" as the most important word of the quotation.
Either way, this is only my take and others may have their's.

I am taking this opportunity to warn everybody on this forum that Sylvia Blyden has come to the diaspora --Some say she is in lONDON and others say she is in Maryland or Virginia.
What this means for us is that she is going to direct all her ire against us by making nuisance and defamatory posts on this forum. You have already read her posts on the form. It was her cunning means of entering the forum and stirring quarrels with profanities that made us to start showing IPs.
1. She was SUBANALAI. We detected it and blocked her IP. We TRIED TO BLOCK HER BUT USING HER I.T.SKILLS, SHE ALWAYS CAME BACK.SHE THEN THREATENED THE MODERATOR THAT IT IS ALL OUT WAR BETWEEN THEM AND HE WILL NOT ABLE TO BAN HER FROM THE FORUM. SHE WAS RIGHT UNTIL WE TOO USED OUR SKILLS AND WE SILENCED THAT MONIKER FOR GOOD.
2.Next, she posted under Victor, with a fake letter in which she pretended to be responding to a letter from the very Victor.In this letter, God save her soul, she said I proposed to her(Which is enough to make a cat laugh )and that I wrote her a letter as Mariama Massaquoi asking her about her orgasm. You all know I will not do that . She thinks lying about me will stop me from exposing her, but she is mistaken.She does not know how determined I am to make the world know the kind of person she is. You all know how much she lies so I don't have to dwell on that.
3. Next , she started posting as salone man today. The same IP numbers FOR VICTOR AND SALONEMAN .We are having problems blocking the IP BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS HAS A WAY OF CIRCUMVENTING BLOCKS AND COMING BACK.
Please be on your guard. Remember 2005 when she used to bomb and flood the forum with pornography and keep me and the MODERATOR cleaning it whole night ? Dont be surprised if we go back to those days.
Don't be surprised also .You are going to start reading CHARACTER-ASSASSINATION as you have never read before.She is going to take us back to the SLIS and NUP Forum days (under different monikers ) when the forums were trashed with character-assassination, mammy cuss and all filth , forcing the forums to close.
If you are one of those whose skin she gets under, your peace is gone. YES, SYLVIA BLYDEN IS IN TOWN. BUT I AM HER BOSS AND WILL HANDLE HER. I JUST WANTED TO PUT YOU ON YOUR GUARD.

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

You really are a sad pathetic creature. Apologise now before your soul burns in hell!

2.Next, she posted under Victor, with a fake letter in which she pretended to be responding to a letter from the very Victor.In this letter, God save her soul, she said I proposed to her(Which is enough to make a cat laugh )and that I wrote her a letter as Mariama Massaquoi asking her about her orgasm. You all know I will not do that . She thinks lying about me will stop me from exposing her, but she is mistaken.She does not know how determined I am to make the world know the kind of person she is. You all know how much she lies so I don't have to dwell on that.
3. Next , she started posting as salone man today. The same IP numbers FOR VICTOR AND SALONEMAN .We are having problems blocking the IP BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS HAS A WAY OF CIRCUMVENTING BLOCKS AND COMING BACK.
Please be on your guard. Remember 2005 when she used to bomb and flood the forum with pornography and keep me and the MODERATOR cleaning it whole night ? Dont be surprised if we go back to those days.
Don't be surprised also .You are going to start reading CHARACTER-ASSASSINATION as you have never read before.She is going to take us back to the SLIS and NUP Forum days (under different monikers ) when the forums were trashed with character-assassination, mammy cuss and all filth , forcing the forums to close.
If you are one of those whose skin she gets under, your peace is gone. YES, SYLVIA BLYDEN IS IN TOWN. BUT I AM HER BOSS AND WILL HANDLE HER. I JUST WANTED TO PUT YOU ON YOUR GUARD.

There is a dogfight on the SLPP forum between scholarly fighter-pilots and amateur airmen trying to fly sorties into intellectual territory. This battle caught my eyes because of John Mannah's snobbish descr1ption of Cocorioko as a haven for idiots. In his words, Cocorioko is the place for imbeciles to thrive. Well, let me tell this man that Cocorioko is a populist site with a podium for Sierra Leoneans of every descr1ption. Cocorioko does not require its visitors to possess Shakespearean wits, and we love it that way.
Has Cocorioko turned itself into a sycophantic singer for Ernest Koroma? The answer is surely "Yes!" Is Cocorioko a den of idiots? No! I wish Mr. Mannah's disappointment with Cocorioko had everything to do with Kabs Kanu's role as the new propaganda secretary for the APC.
I have lately become disenchanted with Cocorioko's naked bid to prettify Ernest Koroma before the latter could take a single step into the presidency. We need well-meaning Sierra Leoneans in the crusade against irresponsible politicians, and judging by its shameless toadying, Cocorioko has lost the spine for critical journalism. If every educated Sierra Leonean sings Koroma's praises, who will stand by the poor masses when the jackboots of corruption go for the kill?
I wish Kabas Kanu could remain loving of the APC without necessarily being a salivating praise-singer. Still, we love Cocorioko because every Sierra Leonean can be heard on this forum without the fussy adherence to grammatical precision. John Mannah simply missed that point!

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

That's a good question, and I bet you and Kabs will end up in the same team, denouncing future corruption.
I trust him ... It's just a phase ... He will be back.
As per the other response? ...... It's Projection 101- (Attributing to others one's own unacceptable desires and impulses).
You are one of Siera Leone's brightest, and you can take that to the bank.

I will hold my pretty compliments until Brother Koroma proves that he is different from those who have raised our hopes in the past, only to snuff them out with stagnation and grinding poverty.

Enviable,
Your grimy back-handed slap at Kabs and Cocorioko is really pedestrian for a cultured fellow like you. The idea that the press must automatically have an adversarial relationship with the govt is really a crockery of crap. EBK has not yet done anything to deserve your ire and wrath.
The president has set out goals for himself that we could judge him by in three months... for the impatient ones. If either Ernest or his ministers swindles the country and Cocorioko rewards that infraction with glowing tributes, then you have a right to damn them as sycophantic. If the government turns out to be incompetent and Cocorioko niches itself as its praise-singer, then Bra, you amd I and all forumites will be right to call the Cocortokoites a bunch of hypocritical sycophants! Until then, Bra Enviable you are indulging in cheap, gratuitous rudeness that is unworthy of the Bra Enviable we have all come to respect!

Those who've been online over the past decade would recall that Worworliwor set up the NINJA news site to distort information. As Foday Sankoh's internet liaison, she was the saleswoman of the cut hand ideology who even refers to Ghadafi as Kabbah's brother.
Many, including Victor Foe and I are ready to testify at any hearing involving her. We met her and Omrie Golley at Foday Sankoh's House in Liberia right after our release from RUF captivity.

John Mannah wrote: "Boy what a pedigree for a boy who grew up in the slums of Dove Court around Eastend Police (small police) in Freetown."
I don't want you to put me on your "Do not Teach" list, John Mannah, but please allow me to teach you that you have used the word, "pedigree" incorrectly in your sentence quoted above. If, as you claim, you "grew up in the slums of Dove Court," that is, in fact, your pedigree - nothing else. This is because one can not change one's pedigree.
Therefore, your allusion to having "progressed" from your pedigree proves what many people have told you since 2006, when you started exposing your poor grasp of the English language by writing in public in a selfish, vain hope of joining a corrupt Berewa-led government in SL in order to belatedly enrich yourself through corruption.
Specifically, as Karamoh Kabba and others told you in reply to your opaque and paragraph-less ramblings that you mischaracterize as economic writings, it is proof that you truly do not understand many of the words you so carelessly use. Worse still, you do so with the exaggerated confidence that typically comes from those suffering from abysmal ignorance.That, in turn, guarantees the failure of your painful-to-watch attempts at writing sensible articles which you foolishly imagine would convince people that you have -- as you claim incessantly but porously -- a Ph.D. worth the name.

I agree with you. Mannah definitely needs a lot of remedial instruction in the basics of English grammar.
Virtually every sentence in his postings is marred by elementary grammatical errors. You need to go learn how to construct proper English before coming to talk to superior people about education. For example, John Mannah assasinates the Queen's English when he wrote, in blissful ignorance yesterday, under the thread, Re: A Few Words of Clarity for Abu Koroma: "These are the six names I have listed in my database that suit the profile of nincompoops, academically challenged, and intellectual neophytes."
Of course, even primary school pupils know that there is no such expression in proper English as "suit the profile," as Dr. John Mannah wrote. Goven the fact that Dr. Mannah does not know that simple fact -- as evidenced by his use of such ungrammatical English -- the inescapable conclusion is harsh, but unquestionably valid.
That conclusion is that: Sadly, Dr. John Mannah has demonstrated that his understanding of English is below the level of a primary school pupil.

In Reply to: Personal Attacks posted by Moderator on October 07, 2007 at 09:25:14:
Moderator, your "appealing to all for an end to the personal attacks" is commendable -- but just a wee bit suspicious. I hope you will therefore answer the following questions:
1. Where were you when your fellow SLPP member, John Mannah, was launching personal attacks on then-APC leader, Ernest Koroma, the recently elected President of Sierra Leone, right here on your forum?
2. And, pray tell us, Moderator, where were you when your fellow SLPP member, John Mannah, was launching personal attacks on the PMDC leader, Charles Margai, the historic catalyst for the end of the shameful practice of tribalism in Salone politics under a decade of SLPP's selfish, divisive tribal politics?
3. Where were you, Moderator, when fellow SLPP member, John Mannah launched a personal attack on Salone's current vice-president, Sam Sumana, right here on your forum?
4. And, where were you, Moderator, when your fellow SLPP member, John Mannah, was launching vile, defamatory personal attacks on Mohamed Jalloh, an extremely patriotic S/Leonean and internationally acclaimed financial expert, who counts among his many honors, a listing in Marquis "Who's Who in the World" and the status of being the youngest S/Leonean to be admitted to Fourah Bay College in its 180-year history?
5. Moderator, is your overnight antipathy to "personal attacks" brought about because your fellow SLPP member, John Mannah, has been comprehensively exposed yesterday as ignorant of the elementary rules of English grammar after claiming that he was an expert in English?
6. Or, Moderator, is your nascent conversion to the bandwagon of no personal attacks the result of the conclusive exposure of your fellow SLPP member, John Mannah as a wannabe-be economist who never worked as an economist while falsely referring himself as an economist as a ruse to finagle a job with a Berewa-led SLPP government that the people of Salone have now doomed with their rejection of the corrupt SLPP?
I look forward to your responses.

John Mannah wrote: "You are doing yourself a dis-service by failing to heed to my advice."
John Mannah,
Your capacity to write bad English is rapacious! Even though no one expects you to know it, the word you used " dis-service " is NOT English. It is pure nonsense.
Rather than comically purporting to give advice, you should be taking advice: Go back to kindergarten and start the impossible road to passing English at Standard Seven in primary school. As you have been told, your demonstrably poor intellect is proof positive of the pitfalls of correspondence courses as a substitute for a proper college education. It also makes your unlikely claim to having taken classes at Cambridge as transparently mendacious as your whopping lie in 2006 that you were director of communications for the SLPP in North America.
Let me ask you, John Mannah: Do you really believe the whoppers you tell people? Or, are you just too ashamed to admit that, at age 53 or so, you are a total failure in life? Instead of trying to remedy your obviously poor education, why do you seek to escape reality by falsely claiming to have obtained a serious qualification (a correspondence course Ph.D.from a third rate college) at an age when most serious academics have already reached the zenith of their professional careers? Do you think that would somehow get you to your goal of joining the kleptomaniacs in the traitorous SLPP cabal who have massively looted our country over the past ten years?
Well, John Mannah, think again: Those hopes of yours to get rich through looting the public treasury of Sierra Leone just become futile with the decisive rejection by the people of Sierra Leone of your fellow destroyers of our country -- the corrupt SLPP regime of Kabbah and Berewa.

The looting, violence, theiving and roguery they have resorted to. The message to you guys is; wake up from your slumber and go start doing the peoples business. You say your Ph.D is from an Ivy league institution? your party is looking for competent S/Leoneans like you to take up leadership positions and help govern. They really need you, not yesterday, but now. Go and put your Ph.D to use for your country now, but Ph.D in what, Greek and Roman Culture? Its not worth much, thus your lack of knowledge in constructing proper grammar.
Some of us with serious qualifications, will not avoid the difficult work of confronting the problems facing our beloved country this time around and leave it to idiots like our forebearer did in the 70's."
Tell me, X: Who but a correspondence course graduate masquerading as a self-styled person "with serious qualifications" (no doubt in lying only ) would write such nonsensical English as "The looting, violence, theiving and roguery they have resorted to.?"
Would this overreaching tribalistic dunce who calls himself John Mannah ever learn the rules of elementary English grammar?

It is all a money laundering scheme my friend. What a lot of us do not realize is that there is also organized crime in the two tier financial system. There are two reasons for this. First both corrupt official and international criminal enterprise benefit if it is easy to launder money across national borders. Accepting this type of activity looks more attractive even to holiday makers if it relatively easy to get a few more Leones for their foreign exchange by using the other tier system. Remember most stolen moneys have to be laundered. The two tier system is just another sophisticated way of disguising illegitimate income to make it appear legitimate.
For example, many international statutes require that financial institution be aware of the illegal origin of the funds the receive. In reaction, corrupt officials and organised crime that feed on each other, take additional steps to conceal the origin of their gains by using the two tier foreign currency exchange system. At issue is both the ease with which trillions of leones can be laundered and the undermining of the country's financial structure.

It is not true that The Gambia do not transact foreign exchange outside the the Banking system. Even Western Countries do transact foreign currencies outside the Banking system.
Foreign exchange in salone is not regulated. Businesses or individuals have to register to deal in foreign currency.
Banks also contribute to the growth of the black market trade. Go to any of the Banks and ask for the £ or $, the rate they will mention will drive you to the black market. I have never heard of any holiday people or tourists exchanging their $ and $ in any Bank.

In fact most countries do transact foreign exchange outside the central Banking system, but the are directly or indirectly related, either in terms of receipts, making their nightly ,next day or weakly deposits in the central Banking system or even Bank subsidiaries. The difference is only a matter of convenience. There is openness and accountability. A country's links to the broader world can either limit or expand with its scope of openness and accountability. In the case of Sa Leone it is open but to contraband and crime flow across boarder(diamonds and such). On the other hand it is closed to legitimate foreign investment because it is not accountable. These behavior are entrenched and are not main stream.

As a matter of fact, this will eventually happen.Once the leones begins to gain value and earn the credibility of the pupulation at large then, you can push for such a policy.There are many way to discourage the use other currencies or then the Leones as medium of payment for goods and services within sierra leone.We will cross that bridge like Gambia when the population gain a whloe lot of confidence in the financial system.For that to happen the central needs to be in control.

Ex-President Tejan Kabbah Dodges ECOWAS Court Last Friday As Obasanjo’s Lawyer and 20 Others Line Up Against Him
Posted by on Oct 7, 2007, 06:42
Mr. Adebayo Adenipekun (SAN) from the law firm of Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) was the lead Counsel in the ECOWAS court on Friday 5th October 2007. Appearing with him were lawyers Ibrahim Hamman, B.J.Akomolafe and other legal brains from the same law firm, all present at the ECOWAS Court in Abuja last Friday, 5th October,2007 in preparation to undertake a fierce legal battle between their client Mohamed Kamal Wansa trading as “D&M Impex”Melbourne Enterprise” and “Vulga Nova Pharmacy” (the Plaintiff) and the SLPP government of the Republic of Sierra Leone as the 1st Defendant and His Excellency, Alhaji Dr. Ahmad Tejan Kabbah, then President of the Republic of Sierra Leone as the 2nd Defendant. Chief Afe Babalola, (SAN), is the legal adviser to ex-President, Obasango of Nigeria.
Disappointedly, both Defendants were conspicuously absent and were not represented by any Counsel in the court when it resumed sitting on Friday in Abuja the headquarters, of the ECOWAS Court.
It would be recalled that the Plaintiff had slammed a civil suit of Human Right Abuses against both defendants of which the second, was the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone at the time the human rights abuses were committed.
At the ECOWAS Court on Friday 5th October, 2007 the panel of Judges were the President of the Community Court of Justice-ECOWAS, Hon. Justice Aminata Sanogo Malle from the Republic of Mali as the presiding Judge, Hon. Justice Benin Anthony from Ghana and Hon. Justice Toe Barthelemy from Burkina Faso.
When the matter was mentioned by the lead counsel Mr. Adebayo Adenikpekun (SAN), the registrar of the court presented a letter purportedly written by the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mr. Fred Carew, stating that a new government had been elected, but no cabinet members appointed. Thus, in view of that, he needed at least three- month adjournment in order to brief his successor about recent developments pertaining to the matter and other national issues.
Responding to the letter, Mr. Adenikpekun (SAN) told the court among others that the Attorney who filed the defense on behalf of the 1st and 2nd defendants was not the purported writer of the unsigned and undated letter sent to the court, therefore he was requesting for costs. Presiding Judge, Hon. Justice Aminata Sanogo Malle advised that the costs requested for would be included when the matter finally comes to an end and a winner emerges. The matter was adjourned to January 15th 2008, when it is expected that both defendants would appear in court or be represented by their solicitors and if not, it is very likely that judgment in default would be given against them.See court documents below

Dear Comrades of the Farm (Forum),
You might have heard about my miraculous escape from the farm yesterday, after Comrade Kabs 'Napoleon' Kanu, let loose his attack dogs on me, led by Chief Dog- Forum Police. I hadn't the time, unlike Comrade Benjamin(Alieu Iscandri) to say goodbye to all you positivos. Before I proceed with my ordeal, let me inform you all about the need to strengthen ties with our counterparts in the neighbouring farm, where I am presently seeking refuge. Comrades, Robert Frost was right when he wrote" Good Fences Make Good Neighbours" Remember the escape routes we carved at our fence? Well, they came in handy for my escape.
Though I am still licking my wounds here in exile, I have found time to write this testimony, copies of which are scattered all over the farm (LOOK DOWN THE STEPS OF THIS FORUM FOR COPIES, JUST IN CASE THE MAD DICTATOR NAPOLEON KABS TRIES TO REMOVE THIS ONE THAT I AM POSTING AT HIS BACKYARD.
Comrades, this is my story. You will recall that when we were planning to topple Mr. Jones (Kabbah and SLPP), we agreed that "TWO LEGS ARE BAD AND FOUR LEGS GOOD". As soon as Mr. Jones was overthrown, Comrade Napoleon (Kabs; the fat pig), who has imposed himself on the farm, started wearing designer coats, bowl hats and fat cigars dangling from his hog mouth. I pointed out this to him, that they are capitalist oriented. He dismissively argued that they were the sweet of office.
Again, I tried to reason with him that because he was deviating, hard working comrades like old benjamin the donkey, and even the pampered Molly have withdrawn their services. Again, Comrade Napoleon(Kabs) seemed please with these developments, because, according to his blue eye boy Snowball (the illiterate Moderator), this means Bra Kabs will remain the sole diasporan beast that EBK will consider in his all inclusive government.
Our real showdown happened yesterday, when for the first time, I caught Napoleon(Kabs) tip-toeing on two legs, (just like the ousted Mr. Jones), instead of his normal four legs., with a protuding BORBOH-BELLEH-LIKE stomach. I requested an urgent meeting which I regret now. My mistake was not bringing along the wise owls (Kalos, Mammy Blessing, Candido, Kabudu Gen etc.) At the meeting, I raised the question of Comrade Kabs Napoleon walking on two legs. My queries were met by growls from the attack dogs. I also informed my now lawless audience that the younger generations of the farm no longer wants a BORBOH-BELLEH as minister. As such to prepare Comrade Napoleon for subsequent ministerial appointments, we should send him to the gymn to cut down on his 'roast goat-like' belly. The now furious Comrade Kabs Napoleon could have none of these. After a short tete-a-tete with Comrade Snowball; the dick head Moderator, there was signal for the attack dogs to pounce. Comrades, around mid day yesterday, I was hounded out of the farm; the only home I have known all these years. By midnight, I tried to smuggle these leaflets you are now reading into the farm, but the attack dogs were keeping vigil, blocking every move I made.An hurried all night party was staged by who else, the party animal Comrade Boxer(Bambay LANS).
I think they are asleep now, so I have risked entering the farm. If he pulls this posting down, look down the forum's steps, you will find more copies. Comrades, the revolution has just begun. VIVE LA REVOLUTION!!! To all true comrades, please take care of Fifi my wonder dog, untill I re-unite with him again. Hopefully, Comrade Napoleon will tamper justice with mercy.
Yours Sincerely,
Comrade Squealer(a.k.a SUBWANALAI)
p/s. Kabs Kanu is a propagandist par excellence. He is so stupid that he si now trying to misguide the farm that Comrade Squealer is that other ugly Comrade Glover(Sylvia Blyden). But I know liberal minds who have been reading my postings will know how much WORWORLIWOR had come under my attack. I don't blame Kabs. When parents waste their hard earned cash and send a kid like Kabs to FBC, only for him to read GREKO(Greek and Roman History) and Church History(All those let my people go subjects), this is what they get

Nope, you are dead as far as we are concerned. Keep spilling your venom until you choke in it. By the way, there is a difference between a zombie and a living person. So please check your pulse!

I saw missed calls when I woke up. I was resting and phone was in silent mode.
Well, if you feel so, post it. I have read it through and everything there is
correct. It will raise their ire against me but who cares? More publicity!(smile).
You go ahead son.
Please delete my contact phone numbers!
It's the Smartest Doc!

I am sorry, I inadvertently stated KABS as the name of the poster above.
