Estimates show that approximately 700 million people on earth live on islands. Due to their isolation, islands usually offer a unique environment as they tend to be hotbeds of biodiversity with rare flora and species.

Sweden has an estimated total of 221,800 islands, the majority of which are not inhabited. This number means that Sweden most likely has more islands than anywhere else in the world.

Even the capital of the country, Stockholm, is an archipelago of fourteen islands connected with over 50 bridges and also has the medieval town of Gamla Stan, museums, and royal palaces.

The island of Öland has well-maintained beaches, a castle, and structures that date 5,000 years back, thus making the island a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other islands offer good sites for swimming, fishing, and other water sports.

IT'S RATHER TOO LATE FOR OUR SOCCER HEROES

Sierra Leone players cleared of match-fixing but 'damage is done'.

Former Sierra Leonean international Samuel Barlay and Ibrahim Koroma are unhappy despite being cleared of match fixing back in July, 2014.

The Sweden-based duo are among those cleared by the Sierra Leone Football Association's (SLFA) Ethics Committee on Tuesday due to a "lack of enough evidence".

The pair were among a total of 15 people suspended in July 2014 for alleged match-fixing by the SLFA and the country's sports ministry.

It was claimed that they influenced a 2010 joint Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup qualifier against hosts South Africa in 2008 which ended in a goalless draw.

"I shed tears when I received the news because I have always known that I'm innocent," the 34-year-old Barlay told BBC Sport Africa.

"I welcome the news but I'm not happy becauSO SADhas dented my image and as a result my career has been damaged. My good image can't be restored.

"I'll never fix a match, I'll never do such a bad thing to the country I love and I have sacrificed for.

"It's sad because the decision of the SLFA ethics committee came at the time I have already retired."

"I took the decision to hang my boot at the end of 2018 because of the damage the match fixing allegation has done to my career.

"My Azerbaijani club Ravan terminated my contract and teams were no longer interested in signing me due to the false allegations.

"Sadly, this is how my country chose to pay me back for all my sacrifice on the pitch for Sierra Leone from under-17 to senior national team level."

The former midfielder who played in Sweden, Finland and Azerbaijan for several clubs added that he would seek advice on what to do next with the matter.

Ibarhim Koroma vowed never to play for Sierra Leone again after being accused of match fixing
Koroma who currently plays for a lower division club in Sweden echoed Barlay's thoughts.

"I have waited for this day for so long because I'm innocent for what I'm accused of," the 31-year-old Koroma told BBC Sport Africa.

"I shivered when I received the news that I have been proven innocent.

"I've been spending sleepless nights for the past six years because of the false match fixing allegations that have damaged my career.

"Today I'm playing in the lower divisions in Sweden because clubs in the higher divisions are not willing to offer me contract thanks to the match fixing allegations.

"Offers I received from other clubs in other European countries have to be cancelled when they learnt of the allegations."

He also added that his mental health has suffered because of the allegations.

"I have gone through a lot for the last six years; I have been tortured psychologically, and depressed," he added.

"I left Sierra Leone to ply my trade in Europe to escape poverty and change the life of my family but the false accusations against me has made me not to achieve my dream.

"I'll never play again for Leone Stars. I have taken the decision since the day I was suspended on July 15, 2014."

"The false allegations brought fear in me to play for my national team. Imagine I play and I make a genuine mistake and the opponent team scores what will happen, I know they'll accuse me again of match fixing."

"God knows I have given my best for my country. I'm presently seeking advice on what to do regarding the false accusations against me."

The SLFA Ethics Committee says two other players accused alongside Barlay and Koroma still have questions to answer - USA-based keeper Christian Caulker and former Leone Stars captain Ibrahim Kargbo, who is currently banned from football for life by Fifa.

A SIERRA LEONEAN BORN SEATTLE NURSE TO SERVE ON BIDEN-HARRIS COVID-19 ADVISORY BOARD

BY HAMID MO-KAMARA

Biden made the announcement on Saturday.

Jane Hopkins is a nurse who specializes in mental health. According to the Biden-Harris transition team, Hopkins has worked as a bedside nurse for over 20 years, most recently for 12 years at Harborview Medical Center and Snoqualmie Hospital.

Hopkins currently serves as the Executive Vice President with SEIU Healthcare 1199 NW and she serves on the Washington State’s COVID task force and Safe Start Advisory Board.
Hopkins was born in Sierra Leone and immigrated to the U.S. in 2000.
Hopkins will be joined by Jill Jim, an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation and the Executive Director at Navajo Nation Department of Health and David Michaels, an epidemiologist and Professor of Environmental and Occupational Health at the Milken Institute School of Public Health, George Washington University.
“As COVID-19 surges across the country, I need a team advising me and a transition that offers diverse perspectives and viewpoints. Ms. Hopkins, Dr. Jim, and Dr. Michaels will strengthen the board’s work and help ensure that our COVID-19 planning will address inequities in health outcomes and the workforce,” said Biden.
