❓ WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAN CHOOSES TO PRESERVE A NATION’S MOST DIFFICULT MEMORIES? 🇸🇱 He creates a space where visitors can remember, reflect, learn, and heal. At the Sierra Leone Civil War Museum, memories of Sierra Leone’s 11-year civil war are preserved, not to reopen old wounds, but to ensure that the stories of the past are not forgotten. Read our latest blog post and go watch our YouTube video, as @JKaifala the Chairman of the Monuments and Relics Commission and Principal of the Center for Memory and Reparations, shares his thoughts on the importance of preserving these memories, because a nation that remembers its past can better understand its journey towards peace and national development. 🌐: visitsl.info/4jos3bP ▶️: visitsl.info/47YblJk For booking and enquiry: 📧: [email protected] 📱: +232 79406127 #DestinationSpotlight #SierraLeoneCivilWarMemorial #VSLTrave #VisitSierraLeone #SaloneX

We in Sierra Leone and Liberia have known war - which is why we are keenly aware of the cost of peace.

The Palmwine Corner at the Sierra Leone Civil War Memorial is more than a corner - it is a space for dialogue, reflection, and peacebuilding, where stories are shared and healing begins.

Peace is not simply the absence of war. It depends on the ability of societies to confront disagreement without violence, protect human rights and dignity, and keep dialogue open when tensions rise. Today, conflict, displacement, discrimination, hate speech, backsliding on rights and polarization are fracturing communities and eroding trust. On this #InternationalDayOfPeace, @UNESCO calls for greater investment in the institutions, skills and relationships that allow societies to address tensions before they turn into violence. unesco.org/en/days/peace?hub… #ForThePeople
