I also want to congratulate the people of Sierra Leone on their democratic elections held on the 26th and 27th of February of this year. the first time in over 31 years that the people of that country have had free elections. Sierra Leone gained its independence in 1961 from Britain and since that time it has had a government that showed very little compassion for its people. Relief agencies estimate that half of the countrys 4 million people are refugees. The life expectancy is 42 years. and the once diamond trade has virtually dissipated into the hands of the military government. However. thanks to many concerned individuals. we have seen a successful election.
