The Sierra Leone Civil War was one of the bloodiest in Africa resulting in more than fifty thousand people dead and half a million displaced in a nation that was then inhabited by around four million people. The conflict was particularly gruesome and protracted as a result of both the RUF and the Sierra Leone government often funded by “blood diamonds” mined on the backs of a slave labour raw mineral economy. Fast forward 22 years later, how far has the country come and more importantly, how has generational learning and political participation formed over the years, enhancing democracy in this nation. Join the Let’s Talk Human Rights host, Masechaba Masemola waMdaka, on the second episode of this season looking at transitional and restorative justice in post conflict countries. Masechaba is joined by Marcella Samba Sesay and Bernadette Abioseh French.
