Sierra Leone has undergone an era of political instability. The author proposes several solutions to the problems in that country. Their diamond trade provides the necessary wealth to build a thriving economy. However, their use of child laborers has drawn criticism from the human rights community. International relations are also discussed by proposing ways of facilitating economic trade with neighboring countries. The role of the IMF, the United Nations, and other international Non-Governmental Organizations are discussed at length.
Reviews
“The book takes a balanced approach to the roles chiefdoms played during the civil war in Sierra Leone... a worthwhile contribution. It is written in the conviction that the political, economic and social future of Sierra Leone is in the hands of both the people and the government. This book will prove greatly beneficial for both students and scholars alike.”
