Maada Bio should produce the kamajor in combat gear who taunted and tormented the dazed Sorieba lying in the back of the pickup truck. The pa-o-pa terrorists should give up the killer who piggybacked Sorieba before executing him. These killers in government should give up the men in the video who were saying Ee dey loss , meaning he will disappear. Terrorists in government and their kamajor assassins are a threat to the future of Sierra Leone. Do you recognize the kamajor passing for a soldier? The one with the menacing grin. The one tormenting the dazed man in the flatbed truck. Do you recognize any of the other men?

  The Cotton Tree is a well-known landmark in Sierra Leone that has been around for centuries, with some estimating its age to be anywhere from 200 to 500 years old. Three years ago, the world watched in horror as witnesses captured footage of the tree burning, with flames shooting from its trunk.  When Sierra Leone celebrated the 225th anniversary of its capital city, which was founded in 1792, the city's birth story as the "Province of Freedom" had been told many times, but there are lesser-known stories in local folklore. In a powerful counter-narrative first published in 2011, Mohamed Gibril Sesay, an author, sociologist, and politician, shared a story that sheds light on a different side of the city's history.  Here's an annotated version: The "Province of Freedom" was established in 1787 by 400 formerly enslaved black individuals sent from London, England, under the auspices of the Committee for the Relief of the Black Poor.
