By; Yankin Kailondo

A new chapter unfolds in Sierra Leone's agricultural narrative as President Bio's commitment to #FeedSalone takes root. A nation where rice is not merely a meal but a cultural cornerstone. Led by the steadfast Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Dr. Henry Musa Kpaka, has made a visit to the fertile lands of Great Scarcies (Samu and Mambolo) on a scoping mission that has set the stage for transformative change.

As the Minister set foot on the fertile soils of Great Scarcies, he carried with him the collective hopes and aspirations of a nation yearning for food self-sufficiency and prosperity. The fields, vibrant and promising, stretched to the horizon, a canvas of potential waiting to be harnessed.

Amidst the fields, conversations flowed between the Minister and local farmers. Their stories, dreams, and challenges echoed through the rustling leaves and swaying crops. The scoping mission was not just about observation; it was a dialogue that intertwined experience with vision, reality with possibility.

The captivating drone shots captured during these field visits encapsulate a promising tomorrow. The verdant landscape with visuals window shows into the potential that meticulous planning and strategic execution hold. President Bio's vision for a self-sufficient Sierra Leone pulses through the landscapes of Scarcies, a testament to the possibilities that lies ahead.

President Bio's vision for rice self-sufficiency resonates deeply. It signifies an opportunity to strengthen national pride, foster economic independence, and create a legacy of sustainable development.

EU Budget Support Delay: Government Rejects Link to Judicial Case, Clarifies Reason for 2026 Disbursement Shift

Government Clarifies EU Budget Support Disbursement to Sierra Leone Note: According to the Information and Civic Education Minister. The Government of Sierra Leone has clarified reports linking the European Union’s 2026 budget-support disbursement to ongoing discussions between Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of the Netherlands on judicial cooperation.

One of the arguments supporting this view is President Julius Maada Bio’s public assertion that, in Sierra Leone’s democratic political history, no political party has successfully won three...
