Sierra Leone’s Durbar of Chiefs at 50th Independence Celebrations

It is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see all of Sierra Leone’s Chiefs and Paramount Chiefs all assembled in one place at the same time. The 50th Independence Anniversary Celebrations merged the old with the new as the Durbar of Chiefs with staffs in hand strolled in front of President Koroma who stood in reverence and respect in acknowledgment of Sierra Leone’s traditional rulers. If not for British colonial rule, we would all be mere subjects in small neighboring chiefdoms as to a nation of 6 million people in ‘Sierra Leone’.
