PRESS STATEMENT
SLAM-GLOBAL BLASTS BASELESS ‘THIRD FORCE’ ALLEGATIONS:
REAFFIRMS PEOPLE-FIRST MISSION AMID POLITICAL SMEARS
A young mother skips meals so her children can eat. A youth battles a deadly drug epidemic claiming his friends. A voter still waits for answers about 2023 disputed election. These are the people SLAM-GLOBAL fights for every day.
Today, SLAM-GLOBAL is responding to recent accusations that it is politically motivated or operating as a clandestine “third force.” The movement unequivocally refutes these claims as unfounded smears, declaring that its only allegiance is to the suffering citizens of Sierra Leone – not to any party or power agenda.
“We will not be distracted by baseless attacks,” said Dr. Alfred A. Veenod Fullah, SLAM-GLOBAL’s Director-General. “We will continue defending the rights of Sierra Leoneans, holding power to account, and pushing for a nation where justice, dignity, and opportunity are not reserved for the privileged few.”
Refuting Political Allegations with Facts: SLAM-GLOBAL asserted that not a shred of evidence has ever been produced to show it is scheming for political power. The allegations that SLAM is creating a “third force” to disrupt future elections or political structure were condemned as “unfounded, baseless, and not supported by a single piece of proof”. “Without facts, accusations are nothing more than gossip weaponised for political distraction,” the group said, challenging anyone to present concrete evidence of these claims.
Instead of engaging in power games, SLAM-GLOBAL stressesd that its focus is on urgent realities facing Sierra Leoneans right now, not on hypothetical future politics. “Are Sierra Leoneans able to put food on the table? Are citizens protected from violence and injustice? Are our children safe from the scourge of drugs and addiction? Are ordinary people able to speak freely without fear of arrest?” the movement asked pointedly. These fundamental questions – about hunger, safety, youth addiction, and freedom – underline SLAM’s true mission. “If the needs of the people are urgent today, why would any serious
movement or person waste time on political hypotheticals?” SLAM noted. In other words, the Movement is fighting for bread-and-butter issues and justice in the present, not playing chess with political futures. People-First Agenda: Poverty, Drugs, Hardship, Transparency – SLAM-GLOBAL backed up its rebuttal with evidence of its track record on issues affecting ordinary Sierra Leoneans. In statement after statement, campaign after campaign, SLAM has shone a light on poverty, economic hardship, youth crises, and transparency in governance – not partisan politics.
For example, in many press statements, SLAM sounded the alarm over Sierra Leone’s economic freefall: nearly 60% of young people are unemployed and one-quarter of the population lives in extreme poverty, it noted. Consumer prices had spiked over 50% by late 2023, making basic food and fuel unaffordable for millions. These facts “cannot be airbrushed away,” SLAM warned at the time, demanding concrete relief – not just more rhetoric – for suffering families. The Movement called for transparent budgets, a full public finance audit, and urgent job-creation programmes for idle youth as “a credible plan to address 52% inflation and rampant unemployment” – instead of empty political platitudes. This is the voice SLAM has consistently raised: a voice for the poor, the jobless, and the hungry, holding leaders to account for economic mismanagement.
SLAM-GLOBAL has been equally vocal about the social crises devastating the youth, notably the surge of drug addiction ravaging communities. Parents and teachers across the country are alarmed at the spread of cheap narcotics like “Kush,” which is destroying young lives. “Our children are falling victim to drugs while leaders look the other way,” SLAM officials have lamented, vowing to combat this “scourge of addiction” head-on. The Movement has called for rehabilitation programmes and preventive action to save a generation from the grip of drugs. “How does undermining a civic movement help keep children off drugs?” SLAM pointedly asked critics, arguing that smearing activists does nothing to address the real crisis killing Sierra Leone’s youth.
At the same time, SLAM-GLOBAL has been a relentless champion of Electoral Transparency and Justice. Ever since the contentious June 2023 elections, SLAM has demanded answers on behalf of voters. The Movement insists that the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) immediately publish all polling-station results and allow independent audits, as credible monitors worldwide have urged. “Truth about vote counts and prosecution of any fraud are non-negotiable,” SLAM declared in calling for full disclosure of the 2023 results. These are not partisan talking points, but principles of democracy. Indeed, international observers back SLAM’s concerns: the Carter Center’s election monitors reported that the June 2023 vote tabulation “lacked adequate levels of transparency,” even witnessing open ballot boxes and broken seals during counting. And in its final report, the European Union’s Election Observation Mission concluded that “lack of transparency… and significant statistical inconsistencies in the results” undermined the credibility of the elections. The EU observers noted with alarm that an independent domestic observer group which dared to voice concerns was threatened and its leaders forced to flee the country, calling this a clear sign of democratic backsliding. None of these warnings came from SLAM- GLOBAL itself, but from respected international bodies – underscoring that SLAM’s fight for electoral truth is grounded in verifiable facts and shared by impartial observers.
Meanwhile, SLAM-GLOBAL continues to press for justice and rule of law in the aftermath of the disputed polls. The Movement has urged authorities to uphold the October 2023 National Unity Agreement commitments – including releasing all citizens detained for protesting the elections, paying salaries owed to elected opposition officials, and establishing the promised independent review of the 2023 election grievances. “Hundreds of Sierra Leoneans – especially from the north – remain detained without charge after being swept up during post-election ‘security operations,'” SLAM reported, decrying the ongoing imprisonment of citizens for their political views. The Movement has called for those political prisoners to be freed and for an end to the climate of fear. Such stands clearly show SLAM’s focus: defending citizens’ rights and demanding transparency, not advancing any political party’s agenda.
“For the first time, someone is standing up for people like me who struggle just to feed our children,” says Mariatu Sesay, a single mother of three from Makeni. “Those calling SLAM political don’t come to our communities. If they did, they’d know SLAM is our lifeline – they speak up when no one else will.”
Ordinary Sierra Leoneans like Mariatu see SLAM-GLOBAL not as a troublemaker, but as a crucial voice of accountability. Across the country, citizens crushed by poverty, injustice and neglect have found hope in SLAM’s advocacy. From exposing the plight of families facing 52% inflation to documenting abuses against peaceful protesters, SLAM has consistently amplified the struggles of the everyday Sierra Leonean. “Our people are suffering while politicians trade blame,” Mariatu adds. “SLAM is different – they actually care about what happens to us on the ground.” This growing public support belies any claim that SLAM is serving a hidden political interest. On the contrary, it is holding the powerful accountable on behalf of the powerless.
Non-Partisan Accountability – Scrutiny for All Sides: A cornerstone of SLAM- GLOBAL’s response is that the Movement is fiercely non-partisan. The organisation does not spare the opposition from criticism any more than it does the ruling government. Its only bias is toward truth and justice. Every SLAM press statement and report has emphasized accountability for all political actors, not just one side. For instance, SLAM has demanded impartial probes into corruption that “whether involving ruling or opposition figures” must be pursued without fear or favor. The message is clear: no office and no party is above scrutiny. Sierra Leone’s 1991 Constitution enshrines checks and balances, and SLAM insists those principles be upheld across the board.
This even-handed approach is evident in SLAM’s work. When government officials were implicated in graft – from dubious mining contracts to alleged nepotism – SLAM loudly demanded investigations and transparency. And when opposition representatives shirked their duty or were co-opted into silence, SLAM just as strongly sounded the alarm. The Movement has exposed how some opposition MPs failed to robustly defend the public interest, allowing critical oversight on budgets and contracts to lapse. SLAM’s critiques have therefore cut across the political spectrum: it applauds integrity and condemns injustice, regardless of whom it emanates from. This non-partisan stance is further reinforced by SLAM’s membership itself – the Movement welcomes “every peaceful, loving, and democratic Sierra Leonean who wants to see progress… and hold the government accountable,” regardless of political affiliation. Far from being a covert arm of any party, SLAM-GLOBAL is a broad coalition of citizens united by patriotism and principle.
“If critics are truly interested in justice, transparency, and development, they should focus on the issues – not on smearing those working to address them,” SLAM-GLOBAL stated pointedly. The organisation notes that attacking a civic watchdog does nothing to feed the hungry, employ jobless youth, or end corruption. “How does spreading misinformation about SLAM help address electoral injustice? How does undermining a civic movement help feed the hungry or bring transparency to governance?” the Movement asked, calling on its detractors to re-examine their motives. SLAM maintains that those who truly care about Sierra Leone’s future would do better to join the fight for solutions instead of tearing down the watchdogs.
Addressing the “Old Book” Critique: Timeless Lessons for a Nation Still Waiting – Some critics have dismissed SLAM-GLOBAL’s recently acclaimed book, Building a Nation: Good Governance and Democratic Principles in Sierra Leone, on the grounds that its content was written long ago. The truth? It was written 64 years ago – and that is exactly the point.
The fact that a book authored more than half a century ago still describes, with haunting accuracy, the same crises Sierra Leone faces today is not a flaw – it is an indictment. It means decades of leadership have failed to solve problems that our grandparents already diagnosed. It means the promises of justice, transparency, and prosperity have been recycled in speeches for generations while the lived reality of ordinary citizens remains stubbornly unchanged.
In 1961, the year of our independence, Sierra Leoneans dreamed of a nation governed by consent, justice, and fairness. By the late 1960s, thinkers and patriots were already warning against the very diseases that eat away at our governance today: political exclusion, electoral malpractice, corruption, and the misuse of public office for private gain. The book’s pages speak of leaders putting self above service, of state resources diverted for personal reward, of youth robbed of opportunity – themes tragically mirrored in present-day Sierra Leone.
“The tragedy is not that these words were written 64 years ago,” said Dr. Alfred Veenod Fullah, SLAM-GLOBAL Director-General, “The tragedy is that they could be written again today without changing a single sentence.”
This longevity shows that the systemic failures we face are not new; they are entrenched. From the one-party abuses of the 1970s, to the coups of the 1990s, to the contested elections of the 2020s – Sierra Leone’s history is a cycle of unrealised reform. A book this old becoming relevant again is proof of continuity in bad governance. It is also a call to break that cycle.
Critics may assign arbitrary age, but across the world, political thought that endures decades often becomes foundational. The U.S. Constitution is over 200 years old. The UN Charter is 79 years old. These documents are revered not because they are new, but because they hold enduring truths. In the same way, the principles of good governance and democratic accountability outlined in Building a Nation are not tied to a single political season – they are timeless benchmarks against which any government, in any year, can be measured.
And by that measure, our leaders today are failing just as those of 1961 failed. Our people still queue for rice at inflated prices. Our youth still languish in unemployment. Our elections still provoke more suspicion than pride. If this book feels current, it is because the disease it diagnosed has been left untreated for more than half a century. SLAM- GLOBAL argues that rather than dismiss the book’s age, Sierra Leoneans should be ashamed that its warnings remain relevant. The fact that it speaks to our 2025 reality is proof of how far we have not come – and why civic movements like SLAM- GLOBAL exist.
International Observers Echo SLAM-GLOBAL’s Concerns: SLAM-GLOBAL finds validation not in any political patron, but in the corroboration of respected international observers and human rights organizations. The very issues SLAM- Global raises – contested elections, rights abuses, economic misery – have been independently documented by global monitors, undermining the notion that SLAM- GLOBAL’s agenda is fabricated or partisan. Freedom House, a leading pro-democracy watchdog, recently noted that in Sierra Leone demonstrators and opposition voices face “police violence and restrictions on assembly,” that civic groups are “constrained,” and that official corruption is “pervasive.”. This stark assessment echoes SLAM’s own reports of escalating repression and graft. Amnesty International has likewise sounded alarms. In March 2023, Amnesty chronicled the violent suppression of protests in August 2022, when state security forces fired on anti-government demonstrators, killing over 30 civilians – including women and children. Amnesty urged independent investigations into those killings, yet to this day Mr Julius Maada Bio’s administration has not held anyone accountable. SLAM-GLOBAL has consistently pressed for justice for the victims of that massacre and for an end to the impunity that followed. In a December 2024 open letter to Amnesty International, SLAM-GLOBAL decried how peaceful activists continue to be arrested, highlighting that as recently as late 2024, youth leaders were detained merely for demanding transparency in the 2023 election results. The letter detailed a pattern of state-sponsored violence and arbitrary arrests – from the mysterious killings of army officers to the assassination of a prominent government critic – all pointing to a deteriorating human rights climate. SLAM-GLOBAL’s urgent call for international attention and sanctions on perpetrators was a plea to the world: do not let Sierra Leone’s democratic gains be eroded by unchecked abuses.
By referencing reports from bodies like the Carter Center, EU, Freedom House, and Amnesty International, SLAM-GLOBAL underscores that its advocacy is grounded in reality, not politics. These impartial observers have validated the core issues SLAM- GLOBAL raises – from the lack of election transparency to the crackdown on dissent. “We are not alone in this fight,” a SLAM spokesperson said. “When the Carter Center flags open ballot boxes, when the EU observers find statistical inconsistencies, when Freedom House and Amnesty document violence and repression, it shows the world sees what we see. Our only ‘force’ is the force of truth, which transcends any party.” SLAM thanked the international community for standing on the side of the Sierra Leonean people. The Movement vowed to continue partnering with global human rights organizations to amplify the truth and seek remedies, from fair elections to freedom for political prisoners. This international resonance exposes the absurdity of labeling SLAM-GLOBAL as “politically motivated” – the real motivation is plainly humanitarian and patriotic.
Transparency, Accountability – and Protecting What Must Be Protected: As part of its commitment to truth, SLAM-GLOBAL emphasised transparency in its own operations and evidence-gathering. The Movement understands that skeptics may ask for proof of every claim it makes. SLAM-GLOBAL affirmed that it has meticulously documented injustices – from videos of violence to data on public funds – and will continue to publish verifiable facts. However, the Movement also acknowledges that certain information cannot be immediately released publicly due to security concerns. In an environment where whistleblowers risk retaliation or worse, SLAM- GLOBAL must sometimes withhold sensitive details to protect sources and citizens who come forward. “We have the receipts, but we won’t endanger lives by sharing them recklessly,” a SLAM representative explained. For instance, evidence gathered on high-level corruption or human rights violations is often shared with trusted international bodies first, under confidentiality, so that independent verification can occur and inform appropriate action. SLAM-GLOBAL reiterated that its ultimate goal is public accountability – any suppressed facts are only held back temporarily out of caution, and the Movement is working toward a future where all truths can be laid bare without fear.
In the meantime, SLAM-GLOBAL called on the Bio administration to live up to its own transparency obligations. The Movement insists that officials open up the books and allow independent audits of contentious issues (from election tallies to public spending) – steps that would obviate the need for SLAM-GLOBAL to uncover the truth piece by piece. “If there’s nothing to hide, then publish everything,” SLAM-GLOBAL challenged the authorities. The organisation noted, for example, that the ECSL still refuses to publish disaggregated polling results, and key audits like the 2022 Auditor-General’s report were censored to omit names of the powerful. Such secrecy is what forces citizen movements to step in. SLAM-GLOBAL pledged to continue shining a light in dark corners of governance, while maintaining the utmost integrity in handling evidence. The Movement encouraged the public to trust in its process: “We don’t make claims lightly. Every assertion we publish has been checked and cross- checked. That’s why, to date, no one has disproven a single fact we’ve put out – instead they resort to attacking our character.” In this way, SLAM-GLOBAL aims to turn the conversation back to the substance of its revelations. The Movement remains steadfast that, within the limits of safety and law, it will share everything it knows – and it invites independent observers to scrutinize its work. Transparency, after all, is a two-way street, SLAM argues: the government must be transparent with the people, and civic groups like SLAM-GLOBAL must be transparent about their advocacy. On both fronts, SLAM-GLOBAL is committed to walking the talk.
Turning Attacks into Validation: Rather than weaken SLAM-GLOBAL, the recent attacks have only strengthened the Movement’s resolve. In fact, SLAM-GLOBAL has flipped the narrative: the very ferocity of these smears is proof that the Movement is making an impact. “When people stop arguing the issues and start attacking us personally, it tells you one thing – we’re asking the hard questions they fear,” said a SLAM- GLOBAL coordinator. Indeed, SLAM-GLOBAL regards the “third force” label as almost ironic confirmation that it has become a force to be reckoned with. The Movement wryly “thanked” its critics for the unintended compliment. “If speaking up for the voiceless makes us a ‘force,’ then so be it – we are a force for good, and we’re here to stay,” the coordinator added.
SLAM-GLOBAL also extended an olive branch to detractors who may have genuine concerns. “We appreciate the passion of all Sierra Leoneans – even those who criticize us,” the Movement said. SLAM-GLOBAL invited any skeptics to visit its offices, meet its diverse volunteers, and see the work firsthand. “Since some of our critics have been misled by misinformation, we openly invite them to come understand what SLAM-GLOBAL is really doing,” the Movement announced. This gesture underlines SLAM-GLOBAL’s belief that unity is possible once the truth is clear.
Many who initially doubted SLAM-GLOBAL have changed their tune after witnessing its community outreach and fact-based research. The Movement is confident that honest dialogue can win over those operating in good faith. As for those power-brokers cynically spreading lies, SLAM-GLOBAL had a firm message: the era of impunity is over. No amount of mudslinging will deter SLAM-GLOBAL from its mission. If anything, every attack only raises the Movement’s profile and credibility in the eyes of citizens. “They wouldn’t be trying so hard to silence us if we weren’t making a difference,” said Dr. Fullah in a recent town hall meeting. By attempting to brand SLAM-GLOBAL as a disruptive “third force,” he argued, the elite have inadvertently shown that SLAM-
GLOBAL’s grassroots influence is real. The suffering majority finally have a champion loud enough to rattle the status quo, and the status quo is reacting in panic.
Importantly, SLAM-GLOBAL framed the attacks as a distraction from the real issues. The timing of these allegations – coming amid economic breakdown and post-election discontent – suggests a deliberate ploy to change the subject. “We won’t let them change the subject,” SLAM-GLOBAL stated. “Every minute spent fighting false rumors is a minute stolen from fighting poverty and injustice. We refuse to play that game.” Instead of getting bogged down, SLAM-GLOBAL is doubling down on the actual crisis at hand: children going hungry, citizens languishing in jail without trial, youths hopeless and addicted, prices skyrocketing, and leaders failing to act. These are the fires SLAM-GLOBAL is trying to put out, and no amount of political smoke will obscure them. In a way, the smears validate SLAM-GLOBAL’s importance, because only a potent voice draws such fierce opposition. “We wear their scorn as a badge of honor,” one activist said. “It means we’re doing something right.”
A Rallying Call to Citizens and the World: Standing tall in the face of slander, SLAM- GLOBAL ended its statement with a rousing call to action. The Movement urged all citizens, civil society groups, and international partners to not be discouraged by the drama, but instead to come together in pursuit of accountability and national renewal. “Our nation’s youth, farmers, teachers, and traders don’t care about political score-settling – they care about results,” SLAM-GLOBAL affirmed. Now is the time for unity of purpose among Sierra Leoneans of conscience. SLAM called on the public to stay focused on the big picture: ensuring that every child can go to school and every family can afford a bag of rice; ensuring that elections truly reflect the people’s will; ensuring that no one is above the law, no matter their title or party. “Leadership is measured not by choreographed applause but by the lived reality of citizens,” SLAM-GLOBAL noted, reminding officials that real patriotism means delivering for the people.
To fellow civil society organizations, media, and activists, SLAM-GLOBAL’s message was one of solidarity and courage. The Movement encouraged them to keep shining a light on wrongdoing and to support one another against intimidation. “When we stand together on principles, no government can ignore us,” SLAM-GLOBAL said. It pointed to the growing coalition of church groups, youth networks, legal advocates, and journalists who have echoed SLAM-GLOBAL’s demands for transparency and justice. This coalition is Sierra Leone’s moral third force – the force of citizens united for change, which is entirely positive and lawful. SLAM-GLOBAL urged these groups not to relent: “Every voice matters. Every act of speaking truth to power brings us one step closer to the Sierra Leone we deserve.”
SLAM-GLOBAL also issued a passionate appeal to international partners and observers. The Movement thanked bodies like the ECOWAS, African Union, United Nations, the Carter Center, Amnesty International, the European Union, and Freedom House for their attention to Sierra Leone’s situation. It implored them to continue and deepen their engagement. “We call on our friends around the world – do not turn a blind eye now,” the statement read. Support for democracy and human rights in Sierra Leone is needed more than ever. SLAM-GLOBAL asked for sustained diplomatic pressure on the Bio administration to implement reforms (such as those recommended by the EU observer mission), and consideration of targeted sanctions if abuses continue. It welcomed the readiness of the UN and ECOWAS to facilitate inclusive dialogue but stressed that “dialogue must be inclusive and address root causes” as the UN itself has urged. International solidarity, SLAM-GLOBAL said, gives hope to the oppressed and signals to the oppressors that the world is watching.
Above all, SLAM-GLOBAL encouraged the people of Sierra Leone to take heart and not give up. Despite the crisis, despite the propaganda, there is a path forward. “This Moment should inspire unity and resolve, not resignation,” SLAM-GLOBAL proclaimed. The Movement reminded citizens of their proud history – from overcoming war to battling Ebola – as proof that Sierra Leoneans can rise above any challenge when united. “The attacks on us are really attacks on the truth – but the truth will prevail,” SLAM -GLOBALdeclared. “We believe in the power of ordinary Sierra Leoneans to demand extraordinary change.” The press statement ended with a powerful pledge and invitation: SLAM-GLOBAL remains courageous and unbowed, and it calls every Sierra Leonean of goodwill – young or old, East or West, APC or SLPP – to stand up for accountability and justice.
In Dr. Fullah’s words, “We are one people. Let’s reject the old divisive politics and unite to save our beloved Sierra Leone.” The road ahead will not be easy, SLAM- GLOBAL conceded, but with unity, transparency, and perseverance, the nation can transform this time of trial into a new dawn.
