Africans Rising - Sierra Leone

The Tripartite Committee held a meeting with some Civil Society Organizations at New Brookfields Hotel in Freetown on Monday, 27th May 2024.
The purpose of the meeting was to provide updates, engage in discussions, and consider additional recommendations.
This initiative by the bipartisan committee for Electoral System and Management Bodies Review, which will conclude on June 19th, 2024, is commendable.
As tensions rise among citizens awaiting the committee's final recommendations, it was crucial for the committee to engage with a diverse group of CSOs to keep them informed about their progress and to relay information to their respective constituencies.
As a patriotic citizen, I urge all participating organizations to share the meeting's outcomes and help alleviate tensions by transparently communicating the facts and objectives of the committee.
May Peace, Unity, and Justice prevail. One Unifier Sierra Leone, One Unifier Africa

ABOUT MAY 25th 2021
This year, Africans Rising is commemorating May 25 - African Liberation Day with the theme, “Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century: Our Rights, Our Health, Our Future” . This mobilization is a continuation of our campaign, which was started in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Through this year’s May 25 - African Liberation Day mobilization, and through all of our work, Africans Rising wants to showcase the ways in which Africans are taking responsibility for empowering their communities, educating one another, creating innovative solutions to the pandemic and coming together for our own survival in such an unprecedented time of global crisis.
2021 THEME: “Pan-Africanism in the 21st Century: Our Rights, Our Health, Our Future” “Rise Up 4 Ourselves”
BACKGROUND: African Liberation Day by started in 1963; more than two-thirds of the continent had achieved independence. On 25 May of that year, leaders of thirty-two independent African states met to form the Organization of African Unity (OAU). It was during this meeting that Africa Freedom Day was declared African Liberation Day and the date of this Pan-African celebration was changed from 15 April to 25 May. Renaming this day was an insightful restoration of the African citizen’s right to behave according to their own will, a reminder of the peoples’ hard-fought achievement of freedom from European colonialism, and a hopeful push for post-colonial states to have complete agency and self-governance
Africans Rising (AR) is a Pan African Movement of People’s and Organizations, working for peace, justice and dignity. We are determined to foster an Africa-wide solidarity and unity of purpose of the Peoples of Africa to build the Future we want – a right to peace, social inclusion and shared prosperity. Africans Rising amplifies broad demands connecting struggles, building solidarity & cooperation within & amongst campaigns for social, economic, environmental and gender justice. The movement was formally launched in May 2017 as a broad-based, people cantered African civil society initiative seeking justice, peace and inclusive dignity. AR brings together more than 300 decentralized actions and events, connecting struggles between social movements, NGOs, people and popular social justice efforts, intellectuals, artists, sports personalities, cultural activists and others, across the continent and Diaspora who found common ground and inspiration in the Kilimanjaro Declaration a shared support commitment to overcome the oppressive systems that plague African people plague African people around the continent.
Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity is a Pan-African movement of over 30,000 people and organizations, working for justice, peace and dignity for all Africans wherever they live.

We are determined to foster an Africa-wide solidarity and unity of purpose of the Peoples of Africa to build the Future we want – a right to peace, social inclusion and shared prosperity. Africans Rising amplifies broad demands connecting struggles, building solidarity & cooperation within & amongst campaigns for social, economic, environmental and gender justice. We do this with movements, people, civil society organizations, governments, artists, business, and others – based on our shared support for the Kilimanjaro Declaration.

As a movement that believes in the protection of Africans and their human rights, we recognize that leaders have an important role in implementing policies to tackle COVID-19 and prevent its spread.
However, it is with great sadness that in several countries including Sierra Leone we have noticed recurring incidents of human rights abuses by security forces that use excessive force on civilians in their efforts to enforce curfews and lockdowns ordered by governments and local authorities implementing social distancing measures.
With the rapid spread of COVID-191 cases in many districts in Sierra Leone, many Sierra Leoneans are concerned that the heightened political tensions and the incidences of violence will erode public trust and national solidarity that are critical for tackling the growing community infections and saving lives. Sierra Leone has a chance to minimize and potentially stop the COVID-19 spread before it does more damage. The country currently has one of the fewest cases of COVID-19 in the sub-region and its experience with Ebola makes it well placed to stem the tide.
It’s in this background the Sierra Leone Movement want to contribute immensely as we considered a loss of a Sierra Leonean is a lost to Africa.
