Sierra Leone or known to be known as the Republic of Sierra Leone is one of the African countries with the majority of Muslims live there. On the flip side, the country name-Sierra Leone was firstly proposed by Portuegese named Pedro da Cintra which symbolizes the meaning of Lion Mountains. Sierra Leone is located in West Africa bordered by Guinea in the North and East, Libera in the Southeast, and the Atlantic Ocean in the Southwest and West. Sierra Leone is one of the members of the United Nations, the Organization of Islamic Conference, and also Non-Alligned Movement members.
Throughout history, Sierra Leone has gained its independence form the British Colonials in 1961. Following the above situation, Sir Milton Margai from Sierra Leone People’s Party (SLPP) was elected to become the country’s first Prime Minister in 1962.
In addition to that, Sierra Leone rich in its labor forces and other mineral resources for exporting purposes. Among some of the mineral resources that they possessed are diamonds, bauxites, irons and so forth. Due to this fact, Sierra Leone is one of the largest diamonds producer in the world.
A rebel movement group named the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) led to the cause of civil war that happened in Sierra Leone where there were a lot of corruptions did by the government and misused the country’s mineral resources. To counter this situation, the United Nations has sent its peacekeepers; unfortunately clashes happened between both parties. This civil war has led the American people to take advantage on this situation whereby they have tried to take over the mining industry of Sierra Leone’s mineral resources and forced the Sierra Leonean to work for them in mining those mineral resources especially its diamonds. Most of the time, the American people will use violence on Sierra Leonean such as, cutting their hands, abusing them and many other violence if they refused to work for them and do the mining process. In my opinion, the people of Sierra Leone shouldn’t be treated like a stranger in their own homeland, because it is them who possessed the mineral resources. And again, the United Nations will never be able to stop the misdoing that the American people did to other nations, especially a country where Muslims are predominant. They will try to divide us in many ways which seems to be worked well and once we divided among each other, they will take every valuable thing that we have including our human and mineral resources as they did to Sierra Leone and its people.
In terms of Hatice Izgin’s presentation, I really wanna thanked her for the information given, because to be frank, I am not a kind of person who’s alert on local issues not more if it is the world issues. I know nothing about Sierra Leone before. Overall, her presentation was quite good; she managed to establish eye contact with the rest of the class and I might say that she has managed her nervousness, because from my own experience she once told me that she really feel nervous when doing the presentation and many people including myself feel the same. But I think, there will always room for improvement, am I right? In my opinion, Hatice failed to speak out her voice louder. It was good that she was using the background music for her presentation, unfortunately due to her soft voice; I couldn’t really be able to listen well to her voice. The additional reason was because that music was kind of instrumental music that made us ‘fly’; and I guess it was a distraction for her presentation. GO Hatice, GO!!!
