The National Security Coordinator at the Office of National Security (ONS), Abdulai Caulker, has reassured citizens that Sierra Leone remains peaceful and stable.

He noted that the country is currently at Level One security status, meaning there are no immediate threats to national stability.

However, he stated that security measures have been enhanced across the country, particularly in border areas, to maintain peace and prevent any disruptions.

He urged citizens to remain calm and go about their daily activities without fear.

Addressing the ongoing border dispute between Sierra Leone and Guinea over Yenga, Mr. Caulker assured the public that the issue would be resolved peacefully.

He referenced the 1974 Non-Aggression Treaty between the two countries, which stipulates that disputes must be settled through diplomatic means rather than force.

As part of these efforts, both nations have established a Joint Technical Commission to resolve the Yenga issue and other border infractions.

Mr. Caulker revealed that a crucial meeting took place in Kailahun from March 24-30, 2025, where representatives from both countries presented historical documents on their respective borders to African Union facilitators for further analysis.

He described the meeting as the most productive engagement between Sierra Leone and Guinea on border disputes in recent years.

He also announced that the Joint Technical Commission will reconvene in Guinea to continue discussions and present additional documentation to help reaffirm the official border lines.
