Our sources in the Diaspora mention three Chinese companies that have been approached, but the most likely to clinch the deal is China Global Mining Resources.

London Mining Company: to sell, or not to sell? That is the question. Did this company raise the hopes of the government and people of Sierra Leone, only to smash them on the rocks at Lunsar? Did they have any intention of mining in this country, or were they just ready to make a fast one, at the expense of the people and government of Sierra Leone?

From a little far away Dakar in Senegal, a non-Wolof speaking Sierra Leonean, once the envy of every sound thinking adventurist lady emerges with unshaven cheeks sneered only on mere bones representing the unkempt-once likely appearance of a lost national hero. So is the look now of Sierra Leone’s former Head of State, Valentine Esegrabo Melvin Strasser, staying in Touba, the Islamist religious shrine infested-area of the across-the-sea village often visited by tourists and talisman seekers of fortune. Beginning just within the last few months, Strass, as friends fondly call him, began to show signs of distress of melancholic withdrawal syndromes; a hyper-type that engenders avoidance of society and all it stands for. Yes, Strass must avoid the Sierra Leonean society and all it means to sane people. No longer useful to once revered friends and relatives, though a few, including the tall humanely beautiful black lady of a queenly reverence decided to seek redress for her son, to the Senegalese curers of insanity in Touba; a highly revered court of talismatic-religious presence of preponderantly ominous powers believed to be able to aid the abandoned and insane. But yes, another client of ill-fate has the Senegalese Touba have now in the name and status of Sierra Leone’s former great man. As to how Strass may have been regarded insane is no longer a relevant question; but as to how he came to be in the state where he is now, is common knowledge in Sierra Leone. In his state, who would not feel abandoned? Was he not shoved aside by his best of friends in arms in February of 1996? Did he not see himself as an ostracized member of a once lovely family of young and admired military service men in power?

“As the President, Ernest Bai Koroma struggles to find a suitable replacement for Tejan Cole, the erstwhile Anti graft Commissioner for the country’s Anti Corruption Commission, ACC, cases are piling up for the courts. This is dwindling trust and confidence in the institution”, says a senior British citizen whose country, UK, is instrumental in funding the ACC. According the ACC Act 2008 (as amended), the chief commissioner would have to have a legal back ground. An inside source has told The Punch that this has affected officials at the Commission as it stops them from charging many big cases to court.
