By Kembay Sierra Leoneans and other non citizens residents in Sierra Leone were shocked over a statements made by the ousted United States of America Ambassador, David Reimer in a local Radio broadcast on Thursday 17th August, 2023. The ousted US Ambassador statements which all listeners viewed as adding insult to injury came at a time the country is still grappling with it political and economic stalemate just after the June 24 2023 general elections.  Ambassador Reimer statements in that broadcast exposed him of putting personal sentiments above diplomatic protocols in adherence to sovereignty.  Where in the world has Reimer seeing the opposition accepting defeat or has he forgotten that as we speak, Donald Trump is yet to accept the victory of Joe Biden in the 2020 US elections over allegations of irregularities?
