her work with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Ambassador Perry stressed
the importance of respect for human rights, adding that the
principles of nonviolence were central to the success of the civil
rights movement in the US. "The way to see real change in a society
is through nonviolent, rational resistance against unjust laws and
unjust leaders through an on-going dialogue between all parties..."
The film, "African American Lives," was written by Dr. Henry Louis
Gates, and the showing was open to the public. The film was also

parliamentary bye-elections will be held on March 29. Dr. Thorpe
said bye-elections will be held for four constituencies only, adding
that the commission had completed boundary delimitations for the
local government elections. Dr. Thorpe said the delimitation
exercise was based primarily on population size, adding that the
commission ensured that the wholeness of chiefdoms and sections were
not affected by the exercise. Dr. Thorpe said the commission would
start a revision of the electoral register as soon as the new ward
boundaries were approved by parliament. The local council election
will be held on July 5. There are 394 wards and 475 prospective
councilors.

clashes between protesters and the police in Koidu - which resulted
in the death of two people - concluded its hearings on Monday,
February 4. The commission first started hearing witness testimony
in Koidu before it moved to Freetown. On the last day of the
proceeding, Police Superintendent of Tankoro Chiefdom, who was
alleged to have ordered police officers to shoot protesters in Kono,
told the Commission that he neither gave weapons to police officers
nor did he order police to fire at protesters. Chief Superintendent

protesters came directly from Freetown. In his closing remarks, the
chairman of the commission, Mr. Jenkins Johnston said they will
write a report and make recommendations to the government.

said he was interested in investing and assisting Sierra Leone,
adding, "the country is in dire need of such assistance and it is in
a better position for development than other African countries
emerging from war." He said "it is time to combat those distractions
and translate them into practical achievements with considerable
success." Mr. Soros, founder and chairman of a network of
foundations, said he would help the government of Sierra Leone to
combat environmental problems like deforestation. At a press
conference in Freetown, Mr. Soros also pledged to assist the
government in the extractive industry to ensure that the natural
resources benefit the people, and not the rulers. President Koroma
said he was grateful for Mr. Soros's visit and called on him to
support his government in key areas.

¶D. Members of the Political Parties Registration Commission (PPRC)
completed an inspection and verification exercise on the Western
Area offices of all registered political parties on January 31.
Section 22 of the Political Parties' Act 2002 requires all political
parties to periodically furnish the commission with particulars of
their National and Regional offices. Chairman of the PPRC, Mr.
Roland Caesar, said out of the seven political parties that
contested the 2007 elections, only the APC, SLPP, PMDC, and NDA had
functioning offices. He said the team also verified the validity of
the tenancy agreements of the four functioning political parties.
Mr. Caesar said the commission was contemplating taking legal action
against the three political parties that closed down their offices
without notifying them.

¶E. On Monday, February 4, the World Bank representative wrote a
letter to the Ministry of Energy and Power noting that while the
institution was committed to temporary 'bridging' arrangements until
Bumbuna comes on line, he felt the agreements with the Independent
Power Producers (IPP) were unnecessarily expensive. Mr. Ishac Diwan
warned that the agreement with the IPP to provide 25 megawatts
electricity for Freetown will cost Sierra Leone over $5 million a
month, saying he was not sure about the sustainability of the
agreement. He said the two IPP agreements with Income Electrix Ltd
and Delamore Owl/Emeiola Group were signed without 'prior
consultation' with the World Bank. Mr. Diwan said the idea of
National Power Authority (NPA) buying all the IPP's power capacity
would create extra costs, adding that an earlier agreement with the
Global Trading Group, which the World Bank supervised, had no such
contractual clause. The World Bank said the costs to NPA were
unsustainable - unless tariffs for NPA power were immediately
doubled and up to 250 NPA workers laid off.

¶F. On Tuesday, February 12, National Electoral Commissioner, Dr.
Christiana Thorpe, announced that 477 Presiding Officers were
blacklisted for electoral malpractice during the 2007 Presidential
run-off elections. Dr. Thorpe said all elections staff who worked at
polling stations that recorded over 100% voter turnout were
blacklisted, adding that the commission had started the recruitment
of temporary staff for the parliamentary bye-elections. This brings
the total number blacklisted by the commission to 1,575.

¶G. On Wednesday, February 13, vehicles queued for fuel at filling
stations in Freetown, raising fears that a fuel shortage was
looming. The pump price of fuel was increased three months ago (in
November 2007), causing an increase in price for essential
commodities. Minister of Information and Communication, Ibrahim Ben
Kargbo, said the reason for the inadequate supply of fuel was
because Sierra Leone's oil refinery was not functioning, saying the
government relied on the Ivory Coast refinery to supply fuel to the
country.
Deputy Director of Petroleum Unit, Sabieu Conteh, insisted that
there was enough fuel in the country and was surprised about rumors
of a shortage.

¶H. Fullah businessman Alhaji Lamrana Bah was brutally murdered on
February 15, causing panic among Fullahs in Freetown. Mr. Bah was
shot and killed at Calaba Town, east of Freetown, by unidentified
gunmen at 7 PM local time as he was driving home. Fullahs perceived
the killing of Mr. Bah as a threat to their safety, especially since
no suspects have been arrested in the separate murders of eight
fullahs over the years. After the death of Mr. Bah, the Fullah chief
and Minister of Mineral Resources, Mr. Jalloh, urged his tribesmen
to remain calm. The Fullahs subsequently resolved to close down
their shops. The strike action affected consumers as Fullahs are
some of the main dealers of essential commodities and wholesalers
through whom middlemen and retailers survive. Meanwhile, the Sierra
Leone Police have offered a Le. two million (approx. USD 670) reward
for information that will lead to the arrest and prosecution of
those responsible for the murder. The Fullah community has upped the
reward by Le. 48 million (approx. USD 16,080). Three people have
been arrested and are helping the police in their investigations.

¶I. On Wednesday, February 16, President Koroma started a two-day
official visit to Libya to hold discussions with President Ghaddafi
concerning how the bilateral relation between the two countries can
be strengthened. Following several consultative meetings, the Libyan
government promised to give more support to Sierra Leone in the
agriculture, health, education, energy, and tourism sectors. In the
area of agriculture, President Ghaddafi pledged to provide some
agricultural equipment, including 30 tractors. President Ghaddafi
also pledged to build schools, build a prosthetic factory for the
production of artificial limbs for amputees, and refurbish, repair,
and equip a referral hospital. President Ghadaffi also pledged his
assistance in rural water-supply and tourism. He promised to send
Swiss engineers to carry out feasibility studies on the second phase
of the Bumbuna Hydro Project with a view to determining Libya's
intervention. The Libyan government also promised to send a
technical expert delegation to Freetown to carry out feasibility
studies in the investment potential of Sierra Leone especially in
the areas of tourism and energy provision. This will be followed by
a joint commission meeting.

¶J. On Friday, February 22, the Special Court's Appeals Chamber
upheld long sentences for three former leaders of the Armed Forces
Revolutionary Council (AFRC). Alex Tamba Brima, Brima Bazzy Kamara,
and Santigie Borbor Kanu were each convicted last June on 11 of 14
counts for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other serious
violations of international humanitarian law. Brima and Kanu each
received sentences of 50 years, while Kamara received a 45 year
sentence. All three defendants appealed their convictions, with
Brima appealing on 12 grounds, Kamara on 13, and Kanu on 19. In an
Appeal Judgment summary read out in Court by Presiding Judge Justice
George Gelaga King, the Court dismissed all of the Defendants'
appeals. The Prosecution also entered nine grounds of appeal against
the Trial Court judgment, including appeals against the Trial
Chamber's dismissal of the count of forced marriage and the
Prosecution's pleading of Joint Criminal Enterprise in the
indictment. In its judgment, the Trial Chamber dismissed the count
of forced marriage as an "other inhumane act," ruling by a majority
that it was not significantly different from other counts of rape
and sexual slavery. The Appeals Chamber upheld the Prosecution's
appeal in part. The Appeals Chamber found that acts of forced
marriage amount to a separate crime under international law. This is
the first such finding by any international court. The Appeals
Chamber also reversed a Trial Chamber decision that the Prosecution
had not properly pleaded the issue of Joint Criminal Enterprise. The
Chief Prosecutor said he welcomed the Appeals Chamber's verdict,
saying it was a victory for the people of Sierra Leone.

The All Peoples Congress (APC) was the highest spender. The party's
presidential candidate, Ernest Bai Koroma, spent Le. 850,000,000

operating costs and the expenditures of 30 parliamentary candidates,
which amounted to Le. 1,802,081,400 (approx. USD 604,000). The
presidential candidate for the Peoples Movement for Democratic
Change (PMDC), Charles Margai, Le. 215,000,450 (approx. USD 72,000).

¶L. On Friday, February 22, the UK Secretary of State for
International Development (DFID), Douglas Alexander, arrived in
Sierra Leone to meet with President Koroma and senior government
officials, and visit projects that are funded by the Department for
International Development (DFID). During his visit, Mr. Alexander
donated the sum of 32 million pounds (approx. USD 65.2 million) to
the government of Sierra Leone for a five-year water and sanitation
programme countrywide. Mr. Alexander commended Sierra Leoneans for
conducting free and fair elections, saying the country is "a model
for the rest of Africa." He also commended the people of Sierra
Leone for their sense of resilience after decade-long violence that
crippled almost every facet of society. President Koroma told Mr.
Alexander that the expectations of the people of Sierra Leone are
high, saying he counted on the UK government to continue its
assistance to the country. He promised to use foreign aid in the
best interest of the country.

¶M. On Wednesday, February 27, normal life in the southern provincial
headquarter town of Bo was disrupted by angry youths of the ruling
All Peoples Congress (APC) who allegedly attacked, vandalized and
looted the headquarters of the opposition Sierra Leone Peoples Party
(SLPP). The confusion started when SLPP supporters allegedly defaced
the statue of President Ernest Koroma, an act which was considered
insulting by supporters of the APC. Some senior SLPP officials were
briefly taken into police custody for "protective reasons." On the
same day, the SLPP issued a press release condemning the "acts of
intimidation supported by the APC hierarchy and an attempt to
suppress the opposition activities in the country." The release also
accused Resident Minister of Southern Province, Musa Tarawally, of
masterminding the violence, adding, "he is supported by the
President, Ernest Bai Koroma." The party issued another press
release condemning the act of defacing the president's portrait, but
criticized the police for failing to protect their Southern region
office. The APC Secretary General, Victor Foh, also condemned the
acts of violence and called on the police to investigate and
prosecute the culprits.
