We just came face-to-face with soldiers who said to us “we will clean this society. We know what we’re up to. We are not after any ordinary civilians who should go about their normal business”.

This happened at Congo Cross as we drove through the empty streets. The Congo Cross roundabout appeared to be a frontline.

Armed police who were parked on the street with their vehicle freshly hit by bullet, initially advised us not to proceed. Seconds later they were lured into going back to the roundabout where I saw their vehicle being taken over by soldiers with RPG mounted on their shoulders.

We made a U-turn but were curious to know what was happening. Then the soldiers drove towards us, stopped and told me and my colleague Kelvin Xander Lewis not to worry.

One of West Africa’s most important biodiversity hotspots, Gola Forest Reserve straddles Sierra Leone’s border with Liberia, just east of Kenema.

Spanning some 350,000 hectares, Gola Forest is the largest-remaining block of Upper Guinean Forest and home to 49 mammal species, including the pygmy hippo and forest elephant, 327 bird species, including the Nimba flycatcher and Gola Malimbe, and over 200 species of tree.

Most notably, this rich rain forest also provides sanctuary for the world’s second-largest population of the Western chimpanzee, as well as over 60 globally threatened species such as the western colobus monkey, zebra duiker and rufous fishing-owl.

The Banana Islands are a group of islands that lie off the coast of Yawri Bay, south west of the Freetown Peninsula in the Western Area of Sierra Leone.

Three islands make up the Banana Islands: Dublin and Ricketts are linked by a stone causeway. The third Mes-Meheux is a privately owned island and used as an adventure tourism destination.

Dublin Island is known for its beaches, while Ricketts Island is best known for its forests.

Banana Islands are entirely surrounded by the Freetown peninsula; and the islands are only accessible by boat, ferry and helicopter. The major industries in Banana Islands are fishing and tourism.
