EBKSUT PRO Cecilia Renner: Elites should not be cleaved to promoting Tribalism otherwise Sierra Leone will not enjoy lasting peace

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson

Cecilia Renner, the Public Relations Officer of the Ernest Bai Koroma University-(EBKUST) has warned educated Sierra Leoneans to desist from the act of promoting Tribalism which she says "will deter the enjoyment of lasting peace in Sierra Leone.”

She was speaking to AWE-Media.SL on Tuesday, 28th June, 2022 after taking part in a day’s Anti-Tribalism dialogue organized by renowned Civil Society Organization HEAL Salone for Students and Staff of the Ernest Bai Koroma University-(EBKUST) Makeni Campus, representatives of Civil Society Organization and other key stakeholders in Makeni city, Bombali District, Northeastern Sierra Leone.

“I’m a living example of one that has been hunted countless times by tribalism promoters, an experience I could best as a thorn in my flesh,” she explained.

She continued saying that, “It is only in Sierra Leone where educated people can ignore their titles in society, takeoff their academic gowns and venture into political arguments centered on tribalism acquisitions which have most times ignited a number of meaningless fights and nurtured grievances amongst us as Sierra Leonean.

“Such occurrences are tantamount to ignite civil unrest in the land that we love which some of us that went through the countless hurdles during the civil war in Sierra Leone are not ready for, the reason I’m imploring on all elites in our country not to be cleaved to promoting Tribalism otherwise we will not enjoy lasting peace, she stressed.

Senegal, first African team to beat England, but not first to score three goals

By: Alusine Rehme Wilson Claim: Soccer World HQ, in a Facebook post , claimed that Senegal is the first African team to beat England and the first to score three goals against them. Verdict: Partly True! Senegal is the first African team to beat England, but not the first to score three goals against them. Full Text The England senior men’s national football team, nicknamed the “Three Lions,” played their first match against Scotland in 1872. That match ended goalless but marked the beginning of an intense soccer rivalry between both nations, dubbed the “Auld Enemy.” Since 1872-2025, the England national team has achieved its 1000-game milestone in November 2019 when they played Montenegro at the Wembley Stadium. England's all-time head-to-head record shows that they’ve played a whopping 1072 matches against 100 countries, won 615 games, drew 255, and lost 200.
