MEDIA WINDFALL IN SIERRA LEONE FOR ENGLISH, FRENCH AND PORTUGUESE READERS.
Sierra Leone is undoubtedly one of the oldest countries on the West Coast of Africa, where several civilizations have sprouted since the 15th century, when Portuguese explorer Pendro de Cintra initially named the country “Serra Lyoa” (Lion Mountains), referring to the range of hills that surrounds the capital city of Freetown.

Though the decade of internal civil conflicts in 1991, Ebola virus diseases in 2014, COVID-19 in 2020, and a high level of corruption and mismanagement have grossly contributed to crippling the economy of Sierra Leone, fortunately the country is comfortably relaxed on a huge deposit of precious minerals, including and not limited to: diamond, gold, bauxite, rutile, zircon, titanium, etc. Even the landscape of Sierra Leone is also endowed with arable land, rivers, and beautiful natural beaches.
Even the admirable glory of Sierra Leone during the colonial era as anthems of West Africa has been swept under the carpet, leaving the memories on the library shelves for reference.

However, the record-breaking achievements of President Bio’s administration, including but not limited to human capital and infrastructural development, achievements by the Anti-Corruption Commission, free quality education, healthy performance in domestic revenue collection rates, expenditure savings, implementation of the Treasury Single Account, etc. are not widely published beyond the English medium.
The socio-economic position of Sierra Leone could have had an impressive increase over the years if media outlets in Sierra Leone could have thoroughly covered and published the same story in two or more languages at the same time.

However, Afriqu Europe Magazine is a media portal of excellence that creates a strong independent news channel in French, English, and Portuguese twice a month and has come to bridge the news gap in Sierra Leone.
Afriqu Europ is the only international news media with an African and European perspective where the reading populace can harvest and share news in three international languages that are widely spoken across the world.

The diversified media angle of Afrique Europe extends beyond live news; we provide audiences with a wide array of factual programming on business, technology, tourism, science, climate, health, and progress made by the sitting government, as well as arts and entertainment, including culture, to the doorsteps of communities across Africa, Europe, America, and the Caribbean.
Though Sierra Leone is one of the developing countries recovering from man-made, technological, and natural disasters, the appreciable strives and successes made by the current administration of His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio will be given full coverage so as to further open the Sierra Leone corridors to investors, tourists, development and humanitarian partners.
In accordance with the framework of development media, the leadership of Afrique Europe magazine has proactively established a media bureau in Freetown to cover and report on governance, private achievements, sleeping histories, and national potentials that would attract and open more opportunities in Sierra Leone.
It is hopeful that this golden opportunity will be wisely utilized by government, private, and public institutions, as there is no better time to create the balance for a better Sierra Leone than now.
Within the context of practicing development media in Sierra Leone, the management of Afrique Europe is attracting the attention of all and sundry that the fluid of an unfriendly economic situation is not and never static; it can be ameliorated, and the best right time is today!
The appropriate strategic strategy to mitigate the hash economic situation is to: practice development politics; translate theoretical patriotism into practical reality; and use the pen and microphone to practice development media. Bury all forms of misinformation and report a balanced story that will not break a country.
As an international media hub, Afrique Europe is comfortably represented and readily positioned in Europe by “AgenceMondiale pour La Publication” and across Africa by senior media practitioners with wealth of media experience.
Afrique Europe Magazine has exceptional provisions to profile outstanding personalities, including statesmen, decision stakeholders, academics, politicians, diplomats, executives, businessmen, women, youths, and innovators.
As a media vanguard, Afrique Europe has a pool of professionals with journalistic zest to publish all the articles, including profiles in English, French, and Portuguese.
This is a huge opportunity for an Anglophone country like Sierra Leone to attract not only English oriented partners but extend the opportunities to French and Portuguese investors and development partners through the press.
