Ibrahim Kings Kamara, a Temne and an outspoken young political activist who is the Youth Wing leader of the All Peoples Congress party in Waterloo, Western Rural Area of Freetown has gone into hiding and has been declared wanted by thugs of the Sierra Leones Peoples Party. Voting during elections in Sierra Leone is generally based on tribal lines between the two major tribes – the Mendes and the Temnes. The Mendes support the ruling party(SLPP) while the Temnes support the main opposition party(APC).
Ibrahim Kings Kamara
The post election period after the election result was being announce, that period is always marred with violence and the 2023 election was not an exception as angry supporters of the winning party the SLPP decided to terrorized communities that did not vote for them. Hell was let loose on the 16th June, 2023 when thugs of the Sierra Leone Peoples Party decided to unleash terror and fear to the residents of Waterloo, who are predominantly from the Temne Tribe of Sierra Leone. The SLPP party’s thugs believed that the residents of Waterloo community did not vote for their party in the last election and hence they declared war on the Temne people in Waterloo who traditionally always vote for the opposition ALL PEOPLES CONGRESS party(APC)
Their main target is the young and brilliant APC Youth Leader – Ibrahim Kings Kamara whom they regarded had motivated the people of Waterloo community to vote for the All Peoples Congress en-masse during the keenly contested run-off election in Sierra Leone. The thugs resorted into destroying anything on sight in the Waterloo community and many supporters of the opposition party were physically abused and their properties destroyed. The family house of Ibrahim Kings Kamara was set ablaze, in the ensuing melee about twenty people had lost their lives and about 2,000 people have been rendered homeless and had been made to flee the Waterloo Community.
The Waterloo community members have relocated to seek refugee at Masigbin Village, hometown of the Temne tribe in the Tonkolili district, Northern part of Sierra Leone. The Paramount Chief of the Chiefdom, Bai Kurr Kanagbaro Sanka II, the host for these displaced Sierra Leoneans who are mostly women and young men in their earlier twenties says, he is now hosting over two thousand (2,000) displaced Sierra Leoneans mostly from the Temne tribe. There is still a rigorous manhunt by the ruling party thugs to arrest Ibrahim Kings Kamara whom they believe is very popular among the youth in the Waterloo community.
Meanwhile the Sierra Leone Police has been informed of the activities of Ibrahim Kings Kamara especially during the run-off election at Waterloo. The ruling party had therefore petitioned the Sierra Leone Police Force of his involvement in the mayhem that resulted from the fallout from the run-off election at Waterloo. The Police have swiftly reacted by placing a WANTED advert against Ibrahim Kings Kamara for subversive activities against the state in several media outlets in the country. It was revealed to this Press that Ibrahim Kamara had fled from the refugee centre at Masingbi for his life because the ruling part thugs have tortured his father to death. Meanwhile Ibrahim Kings Kamara has fled the country and his whereabouts cannot be ascertained to date
