1/10 - My thoughts on on the TRANSCO-CLSG Line: Congratulations to @PresidentBio, @ebklegacy & the late President Kabba for the partial completion of the long awaited CLSG interconnection project. #SaloneTwitter
2/10 - The turning on of the switch for the TRANSCO-CLSG interconnection is a victory for @african_pool and many donors and development finance instituitons. #SaloneTwitter
3/10 - Finally, a two decades ECOWAS vision has been partly fulfilled. We commend all the successive governments in the 4 countries for putting regional energy cooperation above narrow political interests, and nationalistic chauvinism. #SaloneTwitter
My thoughts on - The 2020 Audit Report: Travelgate, Embassygate, Fiscal Indiscipline and the Known Unknowns – Sierraeye #SaloneTwitter sierraeyemagazine.com/the-2020-audit…
The findings in the current 2020 reports are appalling and demonstrate systematic, crude and flagrant thievery. It also shows poor compliance with established laws, rules and practices, as well as a lack of accountability and transparency and questionable use of taxpayer monies.
We, the political leaders, must not renege on our responsibilities to hold the government accountable. If we do, the citizens will not forget or forgive how we aided and abetted corruption by deliberate negligence. May the Almighty save us from their wrath.
I'd never been to Sierra Leone before. So after my photography assignment there was done, I got to tour Freetown and this was my experience.

The international airport is in Lungi, from where you need to catch a 20-minute $40 boat ride to Freetown. The alternative is a 3-hour road trip to the capital.
Sierra Leoneans are very friendly. I reached out to Youtuber @SuntiaRonald who put me in touch with her friend Gus. I met him at my hotel lobby, we hailed a keke (tuk tuk) and started my tour of Freetown.
It's been one of those weeks & I was reminded of a poem I wrote a few years ago: Even in the storm. See thread.
"Life has its ups and downs. It's a rollercoaster ride.
Storms come and go. Some are big. Some are small.
Some pass quickly. Some last longer than we hope..."
"Life has its ups and downs. It's a rollercoaster ride.

"...Rather than waiting out the storm, often it's best to learn to dance in it. Try to make the most of life. Even in the storm, there are moments of joy. Even in the storm, there are memories to cherish. Even in the storm, you can count your blessings..."
"...Even in the storm, there are things to be thankful for.
It's time to learn to dance."
