Abdulai Mansaray: Sierra Leone Telegraph: 06 March 2021:
Sierra Leone has always enjoyed the paradoxical label of being one of the richest poor countries in Africa.

Less than 20% of all homes in Romania were insured in 2020 against certain risks, and more than half of Romanians (54%) say they are worried about the danger of an earthquake, according to a survey commissioned by National Union of Insurance and Reinsurance Companies in Romania (UNSAR) and conducted in 2020 by the Romanian Institute for Evaluation and Strategy (IRES).

The impasse between the Sierra Leone Mining company which is interested in the iron ore at the Marampa mines in Lunsar, north of Sierra Leone, and the Sierra Leone government has dragged on for too long.
I think itâs high time a mediator respected by both parties intervenes. SLMC has invested a lot money in equipment and other expenses in Marampa and will find it very difficult to just walk away. They are now using the tactic of international litigation to put pressure on the Sierra Leone government to reconsider the cancellation of their horrible mining agreement signed during the reign of the former APC administration, an administration known for very bad mining deals and agreements. The Sierra Leone government wants to review the agreement and wants a better deal while SLMC wants to stick to the agreement unt
