You Are Home, You Are One of Us : 59 African-Americans Receive Citizenship In Sierra Leone

Fifty-nine African Americans are officially new citizens of Sierra Leone after a ceremony on April 29, 2021, in Freetown. “When President Bio signed my documents saying I’m officially Sierra Leonean, when I took my oath, and he gave me my passport … it was a surreal feeling,” said Prince Dynast Amir, an entrepreneur from Atlanta. President H.E. Dr. Julius Maada Bio gave each person their citizenship documents. The ceremony was the inaugural one under a new partnership with African Ancestry, the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, Monuments and Relics Commission and the Office of the President. This will be an ongoing program that gives African-Americans the opportunity to obtain citizenship in Sierra Leone when they prove their ancestral lineage through DNA. “We welcome you to acquire land, live in our communities, invest, build capacity and take advantage of business opportunities,” said President Bio during the ceremony.

PV Staff Women play a vital role in the affairs of a country like Sierra Leone in which the majority of the population still live in the rural areas, are relatively young and cannot read or write. These are facts government after government had confronted over the years. The current government of President Julius Maada Bio seems to be doing something concrete and visible about it by introducing free education at the primary and secondary school levels, discouraging forced marriages for girls and also doing something about female genital mutilation. More girls are going to school these days and more and more employment opportunities are opening up for women. FGM is also not as prevalent and predominant as before with a legislation that says it can only be carried out on girls 18 years old and above. There are more females (52%) than males in the country.
