Bienvenue en Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone est un pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, au bord de l'océan Atlantique. Elle est connue pour ses plages de sable blanc bordant la péninsule de Freetown et son rôle historique dans la traite transatlantique des esclaves.
Freetown est une ville portuaire et la capitale de la Sierra Leon.
Le cotonnier centenaire de la vieille ville est un symbole d’émancipation. Sur le front de mer se trouve la King's Yard Gate, par laquelle les anciens esclaves marchaient vers la liberté.
Sierra Leone est également connu dans le monde entier pour ses diamants du sang (également appelés diamants de guerre) qui ont été extraits et vendus comme armes pendant la violente guerre civile du pays de 1991 à 2002.
