With this coup attempt, Apc will lose track again for another 2 years or more

Analytical writing

December 3rd. 2023

The recent coup attempt has set the Apc back for another two years. Anytime they attempt an interegnum, it sets them back because the Slpp always ends up on top. August 10th was one of the factors that brought down the Apc in the 2023 elections. That uprising created resentment for Apc in approximately 67% of the country- they became so unpopular in the South East to the extent that South east gave almost 100% of their votes to the Slpp. That unrest also emboldened Slpp supporters in Freetown to stick with their party no matter the circumstance. August 10th also gave Slpp a lot of independent voters in Freetown- in 2018, Slpp captured 39% of the presidential votes in Freetown. 2023 saw an increase in Slpp votes with President Bio winning a whopping 43%. Anytime there is a semblance of competition in Freetown, Apc will lose the general election. Apc can only be assured of a presidential victory by winning above 80% of Freetown because that can maintain a numbers equilibrium between western area, north west and south east. 
The recent coup attempt has destabilized Apc again. This is going to create a backslash between the Apc party and a lot of entities in different corners of the country
Also, food which is a major problem in Sierra Leone, is something President Bio and his Slpp have set to fix with the feed salone program. Like the free quality education program, the feed salone program will take time, but it will work. At the height of its implementation, the feed salone program is going to slowly start to reverse Sierra Leone's food crisis. 
Another thing that is  about to become a major game changer in favor of the Slpp, ,is the Lungi bridge project.  The magnitude of this project has even not been realized by many Slpp supporters. This project will be the largest infrastructure project Sierra Leone will be implementing and it is automatically going to shift opinion in Freetown in favor of President Bio and the Slpp.
In the final analysis,  the Apc has shot itself again on the foot.This coup attempt has already shattered their plans for 2028- ous tem again den go gather and put a comprehensive plan in place?
And President Bio means it....anyone the investigation leads to, will be arrested. God knows who is next to fall in the net

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...
