EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY IN 2007: EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY IN 2015

The more things change, they say, the more they remain the same. The Red Movement started out in governance with an emergency power supply programme. Eight years on they are on their way back to the emergency power supply programme. The first such programme ended with an ACC indictment, we hope the latest one doesn't end that way.

That's beside what prominent lawyer Blyden Jenkins-Johnston has already presented to the court on behalf of Chief Sidikie. These are interesting times to be a Sierra Leonean living in Sierra Leone. People and institutions are being tested in ways they've never imagined.

For them there are people hanging in the wings all the time, waiting for something even as well-intentioned and peaceful as a Yellow Ribbon Campaign to end Ebola to strike violence and destruction.
