Politics, War and Youth Culture in Sierra Leone An alternative interpretation A ngela McIntyre is the project co-ordinator of the Interact programme at the ISS. Emmanuel Kwesi Aning is a senior research fellow at African Security Dialogue and Research (ASDR) in Accra. Prosper Nii Nortey Addo is a research fellow at ASDR in Accra. Published in African Security Review Vol 11 No 3, 2002 Introduction The use of children as soldiers in government, paramilitary and rebel forces in the Sierra Leone conflict was one of the most highly publicised cases of child rights abuse in recent years. Portrayals of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in particular cited the mass recruitment, chiefly through abduction, of under 18s into the movement. The crisis of youth in Sierra Leone and other armed conflicts no doubt helped drive the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the use of Children in Armed Conflict into force in February 2002, and drew the attention of myriad UN agencies and international non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Interventions on behalf of child combatants have sought to negotiate the release of abductees, to oversee the disarmament, demobilisation, psycho-social care and reintegration of child combatants and to assist children in the tracing and reunification of families, as well as arranging alternative care for orphans and other unaccompanied children. The socialisation of the young generation in warfare has also left the need for an understanding and subsequent response to the political crisis of youth in Sierra Leone, which takes into account the frame of reference of a generation of young people that has spent the past 10 years surviving warfare. For these people peace (life without the influence of war) has become something of a mythical, abstract concept. Young people are left with the bewildering task of inventing their own peace. To do so will require the reconfiguration of their society, with clear guidance and strong messages from governments and authority figures conveying support and example to counteract the sense of betrayal that is undoubtedly felt by much of the young generation in this country.

Acknowledgements Objective …As the rebels were pulling out of Freetown, they came to our house and captured us. They even killed some of the other girls in our house. I was hiding with some girls when they found us. We were told that if we didn't come with them, they'd kill us. While I was begging them not to take me, a little boy, about 10 years old who was with them piped up "If she doesn't want to come, pass her over to me and I'll chop her hands". I agreed to go. I was raped and held there in the bush. I wanted to run away, to escape, but there was no way. If you were caught trying to escape, you were killed or put in a box… - Aminata B, an 18-year-old Temne-Limba woman. She was abducted, beaten, raped and forced to become a rebel's "wife."

Unique Exchange for Sierra Leone`s New Museum Workers Thursday, 23 June 2005 23.6.05 Culture Minister David Lammy greets Railway Museum Workers from Sierra Leone Today, David Lammy, Minister for Culture, is welcoming three young Sierra Leonean museum workers as they arrive in the UK for a unique exchange including month’s training at the National Railway Museum and Hull City Museums. The exchange will provide opportunities to experience world-class collections care and visitor services before they take over the running of the newly opened Sierra Leone National Railway Museum in Freetown. The new Sierra Leone National Railway Museum was established by Colonel Steve Davies MBE, Deputy Commander of the International Military Advisory Training Team in Sierra Leone, working in his spare time with a team of fifteen young unemployed Sierra Leoneans. Together they have transformed a shed of locomotives, abandoned since abolition of the State railway in 1974, into the country’s first railway museum (and second national museum). It includes a coach built for the State Visit of HM The Queen in 1961. Funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport as part of Government’s Africa Initiative, the training is arranged by the National Railway Museum, York in partnership with Hull City Museums. The visitors will experience working steam engines for the first time at the North Yorkshire Moors railway, where they will also learn more about conservation techniques. In Hull, the city twinned with Freetown, they will visit the birthplace of anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce. The trainee curators will also visit the Welsh Highland Railway, Ffestiniog Railway and the Llanfair and Welshpool Light Railway - which has a working example of a former Sierra Leone Railway steam locomotive.
