Human Rights Watch has released a 75-page investigative report exposing widespread obstetric violence, neglect and informal payments in Sierra Leone’s public hospitals. The report, titled “No Money, No Care: Obstetric Violence in Sierra Leone,” details systemic mistreatment of women during childbirth and warns that preventable maternal and newborn deaths persist due to corruption, poor accountability and a lack of essential medical resources.

At a press conference held on Monday, 3rd November, 2025 at the Council of Churches in Sierra Leone (CCSL) Hall, Brookfields in Freetown, Human Rights Watch presented its findings and recommendations aimed at strengthening maternal health rights and improving reproductive healthcare delivery across the country. Amnesty International Sierra Leone echoed the call for reform and shared updates on its ongoing programmatic and research work on maternal health rights.

In a heartfelt reflection that resonates deeply across Sierra Leone, Alpha Amadu Jalloh has penned an inspiring piece titled: “Everyone Here Is a Relative,” calling on citizens to rediscover the bonds of love, kinship and humanity that once defined the nation’s spirit. His essay reminds Sierra Leoneans that beneath political colours, ethnic differences and religious affiliations lies one unifying truth: the blood that runs through every Sierra Leonean is the same.

Alpha Amadu Jalloh paints a vivid picture of a nation that was once deeply connected, where a Mende man could raise a Temne child, a Krio family could host a Loko guest and generosity knew no tribe or colour. He laments that somewhere along the way, political divisions and selfishness eroded those values, replacing compassion with competition and unity with partisanship. “When you peel off the green, the red, the blue, you will find only blood; the same red blood that flows in every Sierra Leonean,” he writes.

In a stirring Sunday service held on November 2, 2025, at Zion Praise Tabernacle Church in Hill Station, the General Overseer, Pastor James Bangura, issued an impassioned call for the church and the nation to take an active stand against the destructive drug known as “Kush.” His sermon, marked by deep emotion and urgency, has since resonated widely as part of Sierra Leone’s growing faith-based movement against drug abuse.

Pastor James Bangura revealed that he had received divine instruction to warn the church that it had “failed God” by remaining silent in the face of moral and social decay brought about by substance abuse. Drawing on the biblical passage of Esther 4:13–14, he likened the church’s role to that of Queen Esther, emphasizing the moral duty to act courageously during times of crisis.

“The Lord told me the church has failed Him and everyone is at risk one way or another,” Pastor James Bangura declared.

A judicial decision concerning Pioneer Power Engineering Co. Ltd. has triggered growing unease among investors, legal analysts and diplomatic observers, as questions mount over corporate governance, property rights and judicial fairness in Sierra Leone. Reports indicate that the Chinese Embassy in Freetown is closely observing the situation amid rising diplomatic and business tensions.

The controversy surrounds an industrial property located at No. 12 Off Motor Road, Kyubu Village, Newton, Waterloo, Freetown, legally owned by Friendship International Co., Ltd., but also housing Pioneer Power Engineering Co., Ltd., which is now engulfed in a management and ownership dispute. The conflict intensified after the company’s former Manager, Zhou Wenjie, was dismissed in May 2024 over allegations of fraud, forgery and financial misconduct.

The Sierra Leone Association of Journalists (SLAJ) has joined the global community in calling for stronger protection of journalists and an end to impunity for crimes committed against members of the Press. The call was made in a press release dated November 3, 2025, marking the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists performing their duty of informing the public and holding power to account.

This year’s global theme: “Chat GBV: Raising Awareness on AI-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence Against Women Journalists,” resonates strongly in Sierra Leone, where journalists, particularly women, continue to face harassment, intimidation and online abuse for account.

SLAJ commended the Government of Sierra Leone for the 2020 repeal of the Criminal and Seditious Libel Laws, describing it as a landmark victory for democracy and press freedom.
