Reliable information reaching the Organiser newspaper has confirmed that the travel ban policy being imposed by the American government will also simultaneously target notorious individuals from the main opposition political parties who connived with the brutal SLPP regime of Maada Bio to undermine the June 24, 2023, general and presidential elections. The All People’s Congress APC party will be affected the most. Smaller political parties in the US net will include the National Grand Coalition NGC of Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella and so on. Bad Sierra Leoneans will suffer this time around. (Photo: Maada, Fatima, Prince Harding, Sam Sumana, Alfred Peter Conteh, Kandeh Yumkella).

So far, investigations have unveiled specific names of individuals associated with the APC party and others who will be targeted for the US sanctions ranging from travel ban for them and their family members to freezing their bank accounts ostensibly for contributing directly and indirectly to the disgraceful electoral fraud before, during, and after the June 24 elections in Sierra Leone, which saw the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone ECSL Chairman Mohamed Kenewui Konneh stealing the polls in favour of the incumbent Maada Bio. Elections observers both local and foreign condemned the lack of transparency and accountability. (Photos: Sylvia Blyden, Peter Conteh, Judge Adrian Fisher).

Expected to join the SLPP government thieves who stole the June 24 elections from the rightful winner Dr Samura Kamara of the APC party will include notorious names from the APC party like Dr Sylvia Olayinka Blyden, Alfred Peter Conteh, Paul Kamara, Diana Konomanyi, Karamoh Kabbah, Alhaji Sam Sumana, Bono Sesay, Victor Bockarie Foh, Alpha Kanu (Khan), etc. More traitorous names in the APC party who connived to undermine the electoral process and democracy will be added to the US list. These APC Trojan Horses did everything to aid and abet Maada Bio’s SLPP state-captured institutions to destabilise the APC party through ridiculous court cases and internal fighting.

The last few days have been very delightful for the majority of Sierra Leoneans who have seen major development from the international community to hold top officials of the SLPP regime to account for the numerous human rights abuses and fraudulent electoral process in the last five years of Maada Bio’s misrule and violence. To aid and abet the US government’s determination to impose sanctions, Sierra Leoneans have started suggesting names who have contributed to the country’s predicament since 2018. This is an open letter to the US Secretary of State naming names who ought to be included in the travel ban etc –

Dear Antony J Blinken,

Thanks for hearing the cries of the people of Sierra Leone. To further identify the categories of Sierra Leoneans you mentioned for visa restrictions, we the people of Sierra Leone want you to consider the following people for the same punishment. Leading the SLPP atrocities are Julius Maada Bio, First Lady Fatima Jabbe Bio, Jacob Jusu Saffa (JJ Blood), Dr David Francis, David Sengeh, Prince Alex Harding, fake journalists like the President of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists SLAJ Ahmed Sahid Nasralla, the BBC reporter Umaru Fofana, Hassan Harouni of the BBC, Traditional Chiefs and other dangerous internal stakeholders.
