THE ONLY WAY FORWARD FOR THE APC: WE WILL NOT GET TIRED DRUMMING IT HOME By Kabs Kanu I stand by my articles and presentation at Common Talk and WI YARD that the only way things will change in Sierra Leone is through people’s power. Only the Sierra Leonean people can redeem our country from Maada Bio’s hands. Even 2028 is no longer assured. Maada Bio will never hand over power to the APC by his own volition . He will do the same thing. APC wants back power but there is no way we will get it back unless we unite and work with the people. In our present state, we will not have it. Samura Kamara has vowed to fight and many of us support him, but let us be frank within ourselves, we need people’s power behind us. I get very angry when I hear the cowards in our party debunking protests and saying they do not support protests. The white man is a big hypocrite. Did you hear what happened today ? Maada Bio is gloating that he had very fruitful discussions today with the MCC Directo...

The Sierra Leone Police have announced the arrest of Abdul Kadiru Kai Kai, an SLPP politician, following the circulation of a video on social media in which he made alarming threats. In the video, Kai Kai, speaking in the local parlance, stated, “If ar nor bi president 2028 ar dae bring serious war na dis kontri… If ar nor get am [president] ar go bring war na dis kontri wae go worse pass d wan wae nor bodi nor expect. Ar well prepia foram, ar well borjet for ram…for bring war ya, na abot 3.3 million dollars for stat na Masheka…” This translates to: “If I do not become president of Sierra Leone in 2028, I will mastermind and bring a big war in Sierra Leone, far worse than anybody is expecting. I am well prepared and had even budgeted for it. To bring war in Sierra Leone, one only needs 3.3 million United States Dollars to start at Masiaka.” Given the gravity of these statements and their potential impact on national security, the Criminal Investigations Department has launc...
