Opposition Accuses Sierra Leone’s Military of Election Weekend Assault
New York TimesJUL 2023
Bio's win is primarily the result of the APC's internal discord and weak leadership. Meanwhile, the country's economy is in free fall, and unemployment, particularly youth unemployment, is at record highs, as is inflation. Sierra Leone has no economic, social, or political hope if the next five years under Bio are anything like the past.
Through their clear vote, Sierra Leoneans have expressed their confidence in Bio to address the country's challenges. Backed by a strong mandate, the Bio administration can focus on continuing its transformative and inclusive economic and political agenda. Moreover, with the renewed holding of peaceful and democratic elections, Sierra Leone has joined the ranks of stable democracies and serves as a model for young democracies worldwide.
