VOICE of Salone Television

CRY FREETOWN: THE BRUTAL REBEL ATTACK OF JANUARY 6, 1999 - REMEMBERING SIERRA LEONE'S DARKEST HOUR On January 6, 1999, Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown, was the target of a devastating rebel attack that resulted in thousands of civilian casualties and left the city in ruins. In this powerful video, we revisit this horrific day through the accounts of eyewitnesses and survivors who lived through the brutal events of the Sierra Leone Civil War. We analyze the impact of the war, particularly the rebel attack on Freetown, and reflect on how political tensions today could escalate into a similar crisis. This video offers a critical look at the historical, social, and political implications of that attack, and compares it with ongoing conflicts. With a forward-looking approach, we warn current leaders—government and opposition alike—that the lessons of history must not be forgotten. We must never let political discord result in another Freetown tragedy. Key words: Sierra Leone, Freetown, rebel attack, January 6, 1999, civil war, eyewitness testimonies, Sierra Leone politics, SLPP, APC, political tension, African conflicts, historical analysis, political warning.
