On behalf of myself, my family, the staff at the SL Embassy here in the Federal Republic of Germany (and all accredited countries), I want to extend a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE ANNIVERSARY to His Excellency President Rtd. Brig. Julius Maada Bio, Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh, members of the New Direction Government and indeed to all Sierra Leoneans in and out of our country.

In spite of the global challenges and the nature of the hurdles we face, I am confident that we have the right leader at this time, in the person of H.E. Julius Maada Bio, to navigate us through our challenges.

May we have many far happier anniversaries in the future!

H.E. Dr. M’Baimba Lamin Baryoh
