FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – With just a day to Sierra Leone’s general elections, the diplomatic community has called on all sides to exercise restraint and refrain from violence. As representatives of the international community, we stand together as firm friends of Sierra Leone’s people. At the invitation of the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone, the deployment of national and international observer missions is now underway. A total of 3,374,258 million Sierra Leoneans are expected to vote on Saturday, according to the Electoral Commission for Sierra Leone (ECSL). Also, with neighboring Liberia poised to go to the polls later in October this year, analysts say a peaceful vote is of greater importance.
