Subject: UN Boss lead Imperialist agenda in Sierra Leone!
From: Alimamy Bakarr Sankoh
Chairman and Leader of the Sierra Leone People's
Democratic League (PDL); Presidential Aspirant for the
presidency of the Republic of Sierra Leone; National
Committee member of the African Unification Front
(AUF).
==============================================
RE: United Nations Boss Runs an Imperialist Agenda in
Sierra Leone.
11th. May 2007.
==============================================
STATEMENT:
It is not my policy to bother with the premature,
anti-African and counter-productive statement issued
by United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon
in New York, and posted to the web on 10th. May 2007,
particularly as the world senior diplomat tries to
mislead international opinion about the failures of
Mr. Tejan Kabbah in Sierra Leone. Much as my mission
and vision for Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leonean people
and entire African continent is based on basic human
rights and democratic freedoms in accordance with
moral principles, there is need, an urgent need to
correct some undeserved impression being created in
the minds of the international public.
While Mr. Ban Ki-moon reserved the right to free
speech, it is unbecoming to use his position to make
the kind of statement he made yesterday about Sierra
Leone, which to all intents and purposes is bothered
on imperialist agenda. I personally condemn the UN
boss assumption that preparations for what he called
upcoming elections in Sierra Leone a "remarkable
success", as racist, mockery of democracy and attempt
to subvert the will of the Sierra Leonean people and
imposed another ******* regime on the African
continent.
Mr. Ki-moon assumed that 91 per cent of eligible
Sierra Leonean voters have registered for the July
2007 elections. In the first place, the fact that the
so-called elections have been postponed for the second
time to August 2007 (not July 2007), means that the
distinguished diplomat is not in touch with what is
happening in Africa, and therefore is not qualified to
give a genuine reporting about events on the continent
as they occur.
Secondly, I have evidence, which Mr. Moon lacks to
prove to the world that the so-called voters'
registration was regionally selective and less than
forty-five percent of eligible voters registered, and
not the fabricated and fraudulent figures Mr. Moon
presents to the international community. I challenge
Mr. Moon to prove the authenticity of his figures,
otherwise he should resign his post immediately for
his contradicting United Nations principles he is
supposed to defend and promote.
I believe the UN boss would have to contend with what
a concerned Sierra Leonean in the Diaspora identified
in the said voters' registration, below:
"1. Bonthe District:
a. The population of Bonthe District as per the 2004
Population Census report is 139,687, i.e. (Bonthe
District-129, 947 and Sherbro Urban District 9,740)
and NEC correctly reports this. If you add up the
number of registered voters (77,659) to the total
population not registered,(as shown on the NEC
preliminary voter registration as per Friday March
30,2007) the answer is 155,318. Thus the numbers
released by NEC puts the population of the district
over and above the census figures by 15,631 votes.
b. If we assume that the population that did register
never showed up and that number of 77,659 is correct,
then the number of registered voters should be equal
to the total population as per the 2004 population
census (139,687) minus the number of unregistered
voters (77,659). Therefore the actual number of
registered voters in Bonthe District should be equal
to 62,028, and not 77,659 as reported by NEC.
c. Where did the extra 15,631 registered votes for
Bonthe District come from?
2. Koinandugu District:
a. The total population for Koinandugu district as per
the 2004 population census is equal to 265,758 and not
265,765 as reported by the Electoral Commissioner (up
by 7)?
3. Kambia District:
a. The total population for Kambia district as per the
2004 population census is equal to 270,462 and the
Electoral Commissioner reports that figure accurately.
b. However if we add up the number of registered
voters (134,881) and the total population not
registered (175,601), we get a new population figure
of 310,482 for Kambia district. Where did the new
figure come from?
c. Similarly, if we assume that the population that
did not register never showed up and that number of
175,601 is accurate, then the number of registered
voters should be equal to the total population as per
the 2004 population census (270,462) minus the number
of unregistered voters (175,601). Therefore the actual
number of registered voters in Kambia District should
be equal to 94,861 and not 134,881 as reported by the
National Electoral Commission.
d. The question is where did the extra 40,020 votes
come from?
This cursory look at the figures already questions the
veracity of the whole registration exercise. 55,561
votes are more than enough to tilt the elections one
way or the other. This and some of the reports
highlighted and others put a huge question mark on the
integrity and credibility of the Commission.
For more than $30 million we need better and accurate
reporting of information. A cursory look at the
numbers by a senior official should have highlighted
the inaccuracies. We hope this is not an attempt to
pad the figures.
Kambia and Bonthe are two battleground districts,
which may decide the outcome of the 2007 elections,
and to pad the number of registered voters in these
two districts in favor of any of the parties
contesting the elections can be likened to a
coordinated campaign to subvert the will of the people
in 2007.
Interestingly, the total number of registered voters
in Bonthe (77,659) is exactly equal to the total
number of the population that did not register
(77,659). What a coincidence!
This matter needs to be investigated. Somebody is
playing games somewhere. The UN and the donors funding
these elections need to investigate these very obvious
discrepancies".
The situation is the same in other districts across
the country, including the capital. There are
evidences also to proof that no registration of such
took place in areas like Pepel, Ku town Island, Banana
and Plantain Islands, Sangblama, Gbonkomhirra, the
Guinean occupied territories of Yenga and surrounding
towns and villages in the east of the country.
The position of Mr. Ban Ki-moon on the evil agenda of
the dictator Tejan Kabbah in Freetown is
understandable, as it is a well planned imperialist
designed agenda to subvert the will and sovereignty of
the Sierra Leonean electorate. The UN judgments on the
political developments in Sierra Leone, to say the
least are laughable, as the world body is guilty of
aiding and abetting the oppressive tendencies of the
dictator Tejan Kabbah in our country. Of course, any
sensible person shall understand that someone
somewhere is remote-controlling the direction of
Sierra Leone; and that United Nations reporting of
Sierra Leone is false and misleading. There is just no
hiding the fact that, the forces of imperialism do not
like any country or persons to challenge their heinous
political and economic games in Africa.
Mr. Moon should understand that, there is currently no
legitimate government in Sierra Leone and I, and my
supporters and sympathizers no longer consider Mr.
Tejan Kabbah and his SLPP gang as a legitimate
government of Sierra Leone. As presently designed, the
sinking SLPP is nothing than a secret cult, comprising
largely of the more repulsive elements in the Sierra
Leonean body polity. It is a cabal of buccaneers,
sinister predators, dangerous tin gods purporting to
be godfathers, shameless turncoats, lowly brigands and
touts in the service of a rapacious tyranny. And as
has been aptly noted, the dictator Tejan Kabbah's SLPP
is a nest of cannibals. It is a gang of usurpers and
imposters with scant or no regard for decency and the
rule of law. These bacchants defile the nation's
cherished values and institutions. They defecate on
our country's constitutional order and trample on the
democratic aspirations of the people. They are a shame
and disgrace to the Sierra Leonean nation. They
rightfully belong to the dustbin of history and the
divisive cum hypocritical rhetoric of their
ringleaders discarded as toxic waste.
I had raised my voice against Mr. Moon endorsement of
the imperialist genocidal war in Iraq and the brutal
execution of President Dr. Saddam Hussein by the
world's neo-cons. I will not succumb to any
humiliation or threat or intimidation of any kind to
condemn attempts to subvert international moral
principles and justice, hiding behind the façade of
world instruments. The policy of Mr. Moon towards the
Arab nation is a complete Zionist ploy, because the
United Nations condemns capital punishments.
The struggle of the Sierra Leonean people for real
freedom and dignity is incomplete until there is
respect for the constitution of Sierra Leone; until
the tears of the downtrodden disappear; until the
people are empower to have full control over their
future; until the country's rich natural resources are
properly managed for the pride and happiness of
Africans everywhere.
It is a fact well-established that if the UN Chief has
not deliberately decided to tackle African and other
regional issues, says for instance, the unending
United States led genocide in Iraq; the Ethiopian
proxy invasion, aggression and criminal war against
our compatriots in Somalia with a false start; if not
for the same ill-intention to keep Africa in turmoil,
abysmal failures, or an international public scorn and
ridicule, there is no way Mr. Ban Ki-moon could
admired Mr. Tejan Kabbah's political agangsterism in
Africa.
Having made these observations, I have to option than
to condemn out-rightly, United Nations position on the
fraudulent democracy in Sierra Leone. I call upon the
world body to show sympathy to the deplorable and
unbearable living conditions of our people; and to
have a second look at the dictator Tejan Kabbah's evil
designs and tastes, whether it is proliferation of
small arms and light weapons for elections;
cultivation of unsuspecting youths and groups to
engage in political violence, before, during and after
elections; or the looting of the nation's wealth to
develop foreign capital at the tears of our
people-corruption with impunity, which has turned able
young men, women and children across Sierra Leone into
slaves, beggars, malnourishment, child labourers,
school drop-outs, unnecessary diseases, environmental
pollution and degradation, permanent threat to peace,
security, to life and property, and those whose future
have become bleak, only for the sake of the selfish
ambition of one man dictatorship.
I want the chief international diplomats at the UN
headquarters in New York to exercise within his
mandated powers and available resources to ensure that
the elections in Sierra Leone are free, peaceful,
transparent and honest. In this regard therefore, I
want to make this appeal to Mr. Ban Ki-moon to support
the unrelenting efforts of the Sierra Leone People's
Democratic League (PDL) at creating a conducive
atmosphere for thorough and orderly democratic
elections to be held in our country. Sierra Leone
needs genuine democracy, and not mobocracy. The UN's
role in fulfilling its mission when democracy and
security of life and property are at risk should not
be compromised.
Except for detractors who thrive at the misery of
Africa, there is just no way someone in his good mind,
be it a Government or civilised body can invest in a
fraudulent project-conduit for misery, social vices
and degeneracy.
Finally, it is increasingly urging to enjoin the
international community to note quiet clearly that,
the fraud of 1996 and 2002 and the evils that made it
happen, will never in our history be allowed to repeat
in Sierra Leone. Never again will the beneficiaries of
violence and actual murder of fellow Africans for one
man or group of people's ambtition to reign on whole
nation as demi-gods, reap its fruits. Never again will
this generation of Sierra Leoneans allow faithless,
evil minded, nincompoops, political prostitutes and
unprincipled men and women to lead them. The hour is
people's power, no more business as usual. It is clean
democracy and not dirty politicking.

If we do not have an accurate analysis of the problem, we cannot possibly develop a good strategy to resolve it.
