Report by Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone continues to make progress since 2005. It successfully conducted two successive peaceful parliamentary and presidential elections in 2007 and 2012. The security remains stable and coordinated by the Office of National Security (ONS) working with the Sierra Leone Police (SLP), the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) and the International Security Advisory Team (ISAT). Currently, Sierra Leone is contributing to peace in the continent and has troops deployed in Somalia and Darfur as part of the UN international peace keeping mission.
