attempted to prevent the Mayor of

to eyewitness report the SLPP hooligans,

singing Kamajor songs late last night

The SLPP will forever continue to
fight no matter what you do to teach them to accept
the verdict of the ballot boxes. You know, these
people are bitter, and are apt to do anything to
derail the APC government as they are prone to have
been doing over the years. There has never been
anytime in the contemporary political history of
Sierra Leone wherein the APC party leaders were
found wanting in fighting to overthrow an SLPP
government other than a legitimate general election.

The power mongering
tyrants, in their plight to once again hold our
country under siege with their mischievous
activities, must not be underestimated. Filled with
hatred for the party in governance, which represents
development in Sierra Leone, the opposition Sierra
Leone Peoples Party (SLPP), led by the barbarian
German-born John Benjamin Hirsch,will not stop at
anything to defraud the principles of Democracy in
our country to the detriment of our people. The pattern of the
SLPP in their refusal to accept defeat had always
resulted in their constant struggle to take control
of governance with reckless disregard for human
lives which is no longer tolerated by the people.

When
the Sierra Leone People's Party (
SLPP ) was in power in Sierra Leone
from 1996-2007, the government
committed horrenduous human rights
abuses. The SLPP government did not
only hurt and kill journalists and
peaceful citizens ;Even refugeees
thrust in their care by
international organizations had
their human rights violated by the
SLPP. It is good to be going back to
see the SLPP'S gross human rights
abuses for Sierra Leoneans and the
international community to see that
it is the height of hypocrisy and
double standards for the SLPP to
speak about human rights. |

The Sierra Leone
People's Party ( SLPP) has no moral authority to
question the All People's Congress (APC)
government's handling of the recent alleged rape
incidents in Sierra Leone. If it is true that these
women were raped, it is regrettable and I wish to
condemn the perpetuators and call for action against
them. However, worst incidents of rape happened
under the watch of the SLPP government and the sad
thing is that all the women raped during the SLPP era never
received justice.

Reports coming from Freetown about
the SLPP recruiting Ex-combatants
and ex-Kamajor fighters and
attempting to transport this group
of God damned people to cause
trouble in Freetown and, perhaps,
the entire country should not be
treated lightly. We cannot sit by
and wait to see these unscrupulous
and God-forsaken individuals derail
the peace and tranquility for which
so many Sierra Leoneans have had to
sacrifice their lives to bring to
fruition. The SLPP and their
so-called leaders should be ashamed
of themselves to even think of
stealing power through the barrel of
a gun this time around.

While
their propaganda tabloids are busy
creating the impression that they
are the victims in Sierra Leone,
the opposition Sierra Leone People's
Party (SLPP), who were ironically
accused of provoking the recent
Freetown disturbances, have been
accused again of hatching more plots
to destabilize Sierra Leone. One of
the country's most respectable and
credible newspapers, THE NEW CITIZEN
(Which even opposition newspapers
have praised before for its
independence and impartiality )
reported today about plans by the
SLPP to bring ex-combatants to the
Sierra Leone capital, Freetown, to
create chaos. |

If the
report of the attempt by SLPP
officials to transport 70
ex-combatants (Kamajors) to Freetown
is correct, it must be time for the
world to be blunt with SLPP leaders.
The act itself is more than
suspicious. It points to the covert
actions of the opposition to reverse
all progress in a nation now
rebuilding from 10 years of war. How
unpatriotic are the members of the
SLPP?

Fear and chaos are
slowly returning to our country. Perputuated by
those who once again refuse to accept defeat and
embrace developement in our nation, the SLPP in its
bid to control every aspect of our lives is now
seeking to fill our thoughts with fear
and discouragement. In September 2007,
as it has always been in a Democrartic system of
government, we the people of Sierra Leone clearly
spoke in the ballot box. Between the two major
political parties,we chosed the one we prefered to
rebuild our nation and hold the peace in Sierra
Leone. Eleven years ago, the country faced the worst
form of exploitation and poverty. Since independente
in 1961, through those years, we learned from
experience what it takes to provide solid foundation
for making real improvements towards change in our
country.

In

classified as an example to true

Leone in clear terms expressed the
disappointment they had over the
conduct of the SLLP Party. They had
all the opportunities and support,
yet failed woefully to lead this
small nation to development. They
got a notice to leave in the most
democratic way, a fact few sincere,
(if any) pen pushers of ‘The New
People’ will attest. The SLPP and
its propaganda machineries have
being working tirelessly in a way
they did not work to help the people
