 MoFAIC Building, Tower Hill, Freetown, 31st October 2023 

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Timothy Musa Kabba has assured Morocco’s Ambassador to Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia His Excellency S.E.M Isam Taib that his country remains committed to upholding strong diplomatic bilateral ties with Morocco.
During the courtesy call on the Minister, Ambassador Taib said that Sierra Leone and the Kingdom of Morocco continue to enjoy mutually beneficial cooperation, and the signing of the 3rd Session of the Joint Commission for Cooperation between the two countries in Dakhla shows their commitment to strengthen the existing bilateral ties.
Ambassador Taib reiterated Morocco’s commitment to the implementation of the Joint Commission for Cooperation (JCC) in the areas of education, agriculture, tourism, mining, and to see how Moroccan SMEs can invest in the country.
He informed the Minister that Morocco has already secured a building for the hosting of an embassy in Freetown which will start operating soon. 
He assured the minister that Morocco stands ready to support Sierra Leone in the United Nations Security Council in the area of experts since they have previously served in the Council. 

The Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Musa Timothy Kabba thanked the Kingdom of Morocco for being a strong and reliable ally to Sierra Leone for years.
The Minister commended Morocco’s commitment to support Sierra Leone in the UN Security Council as that will not only strengthen the country’s participation but also provide a strong representation of the African continent.  
On the Joint Commission for Cooperation, the minister said that it has received the highest consideration from the Government of Sierra Leone as the Cabinet has already approved its provisions and it is currently in Parliament for ratification.
The Foreign Affairs Minister said that they look forward to the earliest implementation of the provisions in the JCC which also resonate with the Big Five agenda of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio especially the ‘Feed Sierra Leone’ where Moroccan experts are needed to boost the agriculture sector.
He said that Sierra Leone has established a Foreign Service Academy for diplomatic training and that he looks forward to the support of Morocco in building the capacity of the Academy.

On the opening of an embassy in Freetown, the Minister expressed his appreciation and hope to receive the Charge’ D Affairs as he also looking forward to the support of the Moroccan government for the reinvigoration of the Mano River Union. 
The meeting was also attended by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Mrs. Francess P. Algali, the Director-General and Ambassador at Large of the Ministry Dr. Victoria M. Sulimani, and the Acting Director of the Africa Directorate, Mr. Steven Levey.

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. According to the Government, the European Commission formally communicated its decision regarding the 2026 disbursement in July. The reasons provided, the Government said, related to the timing of Sierra Leone’s request to amend the Financing Agreement and the resulting difficulty of completing the required processes within the 2026 reporting cycle. As a result, the European Commission proposed rescheduling the 2026 and 2027 disbursements to 2027 and 2028 respectively, with the targets for the 2027 disbursement already agreed. The Government acknowledged that the postponement of the 2026 disbursement represents a setback, b...

Musa Tarawalie and the SLPP: What Could Be Behind the Growing Political Tensions?

Why Musa Tarawalie May Be Facing Friction Within the SLPP Opinion Note: This article represents my personal opinion and interpretation of recent political developments. It should not be taken as established fact or as a definitive account of the reasons behind the situation involving Hon. Musa Tarawalie and the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP). The question of why Hon. Musa Tarawalie appears to be facing difficulties within the Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) requires an understanding of the broader political calculations ahead of the 2028 general elections. In my view, the SLPP is determined to retain political power in 2028, and there have been indications of deliberate strategies aimed at achieving that objective through democratic and relatively smooth political processes. 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...
