Not so in Sierra Leone. By and large, this remains a largely unified country. This award tells me that while we are banging our heads over there, running from the rebels, hiding from the government, that people out there are recognizing us, that people out there know that we are doing something good. Though our people in Sierra Leone may not recognize us, we thank God that our efforts have not gone in vain. This is just the beginning, I want to assure you.
Journalism is our profession.
It is journalism that we know. It is journalism that we eat. We will not be scared away from anything. We know our duty is to write the truth, and I want to assure you that we shall continue writing the truth, under whatever circumstances. Some of you may have seen it on the television screen, and some of you may have read about it on the Internet.
