Rabat, 3rd December 2025
The Honourable Vice President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh paid a courtesy visit to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Kingdom of Morocco., on Monday, the 1st of December 2025.

The Honourable Vice President was received by Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, H.E. Alhaji Momodu Koroma, and was warmly welcomed by Embassy staff. Ambassador Koroma took the Hon Vice President on a conducted tour of the Chancery building and was invited to have a brief discussion with Embassy staff.

Welcoming the Hon Vice President, Ambassador Koroma introduced the full staff complement and reaffirmed the Embassy’s commitment to deepening bilateral relations with the host country. The Ambassador expressed delight for the visit of the Vice President to the Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Morocco and expressed gratitude for taking time to visit the Embassy. He extended further gratitude to His Excellency the President for the decision to open an Embassy in Morocco, as a way of concretising the diplomatic relations between the two friendly nations.

Addressing the meeting, Vice President Jalloh reflected on the longstanding cooperation between Sierra Leone and Morocco. He recalled that since 2017, when the then-opposition leader, President Julius Maada Bio was campaigning for the 2018 elections, he committed to establishing diplomatic mission in Morocco followed by the reciprocal opening of the Moroccan Embassy in Sierra Leone. That commitment, he said, has been honoured by President Bio and his counterpart.

Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh highlighted the strong diplomatic, political, and development cooperation between the two countries, noting mutual support in multilateral fora, including the African Union and the United Nations.
He also referenced Sierra Leone’s leading role in supporting Morocco’s landmark Autonomy Plan for the Sahara, including Sierra Leone’s backing of UN Security Council Resolution 2797 (2025) adopted on 31st October 2025.

He noted further that Sierra Leone was among the first nations to open a Consulate in the Dakhla region and to dispatch its Foreign Affairs Minister to make statements in support of the initiative.
“Morocco today is one of the most important countries in Africa, and because of that, Sierra Leone will always have an Embassy in Morocco as the Embassy is one of our most important missions on the continent,” the Vice President stated.

The Honourable Vice President lamented the fact that even though Morocco had signed several agreements and MOUs with Sierra Leone, the level of implementation of these agreements remains very low. He promised, on his return home to pay attention to the matter as a way of speeding up implementation.

The Vice President has also discussed the low level of returns on the scholarships that have been offered by Morocco. He promised on return to engage the Ministry of Technical and Higher Education on the matter.
He urged the Embassy staff to double their efforts by multitasking to ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness in fulfilling the mandate of the Embassy
He concluded by commending the good work of the Embassy and complimented its high standards and professional atmosphere.

Sierra Leone Reaffirms Support of Morocco's Autonomy Plan for Sahara At The Security Council

Rabat, 5th November, 2025-

On Friday 31st October 2025, the UN Security Council adopted a landmark resolution marking a qualitative shift in efforts to settle the dispute over the Moroccan Sahara.
The UN Security Council adopted Resolution 2797 on the Moroccan Sahara conflict, authorizing the continued operations of the United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Moroccan Sahara (MINURSO) until 31 October 2026. The 15-member organ adopted resolution 2797 (2025) (to be issued as document S/RES/2797(2025)

For the first time, Morocco's autonomy plan was explicitly supported as a fundamental solution to the conflict.
The resolution expresses full support for the UN Secretary-General and his personal envoy in facilitating negotiations based on Morocco’s autonomy initiative to reach a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable solution consistent with the UN Charter.

The UN resolution 2797 (2025) says “genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty could constitute a most feasible solution”. The measure also renews the UN Peacekeeping Mission in Moroccan Sahara for another year, as has been done for more than three decades. Prior extensions, however, have not included a reference to Morocco and its allies’ preferred outcome. The resolution calls on all parties involved to “seize this unprecedented opportunity for a lasting peace.” Depending on progress, it asks António Guterres, the Secretary-General, to review the Peacekeeping Mission’s mandate within six months.

SIERRA LEONE EMBASSY IN MOROCCO JOINS PRESIDENT BIO’S CALL FOR SPECIAL PRAYERS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

Rabat, Morocco, 27th April 2025 — The Sierra Leone Embassy in Rabat, Morocco, on Sunday, 27th April 2025, held a special prayer service for the nation at the Embassy’s residence to mark the country’s 64th Independence Anniversary.

In response to His Excellency President Dr. Julius Maada Bio’s call for Sierra Leoneans to offer special prayers across the nation to deepen national consciousness and cohesion, the Embassy extended invitations to all Sierra Leoneans in Morocco, including students and diplomats, to join the occasion.

In his remarks, Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Morocco, H.E. Alhaji Momodu Koroma, said Independence Day is a cause for celebration, noting that Sierra Leone has come a long way over the past 64 years. He highlighted the country’s tremendous progress, particularly under the leadership of President Bio.

Reflecting on Sierra Leone’s journey, Ambassador Koroma shared that at the time of Independence in 1961, there were no roads leading to Kono and the north, and only one secondary school existed in Kono District. He emphasized the significant improvements today, including better road infrastructure and the presence of secondary schools in every district. He further noted the achievements of the current government, such as the introduction of Free Quality Education, the drastic reduction in maternal mortality rates, and the establishment of seven universities, compared to just one university that existed at Independence.

Ambassador Koroma reiterated President Bio’s call to reflect and pray, reminding attendees that Sierra Leone’s 64-year journey has not been without challenges—including two decades of one-party rule, an 11-year brutal civil war, and devastating health crises like the Ebola and COVID-19 pandemics. He emphasized the need to reject violence and work towards sustaining peace.

Highlighting Sierra Leone’s growing international stature, Ambassador Koroma noted that the country now serves as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, a member of the African Union’s Peace and Security Council, and the Chair of the Committee of 10 advocating for UN reforms on behalf of Africa. Despite global economic challenges, he commended President Bio’s administration for its strides towards economic stability and stressed the importance of unity, peace, and national consciousness among Sierra Leoneans both at home and abroad.

“Independence may not have deep meaning for some, given the persistence of poverty, but the steps we are taking are crucial to building a better future,” Ambassador Koroma said.

He reaffirmed Sierra Leone’s strong bilateral relations with Morocco, acknowledging Morocco’s continued support in various areas, and emphasized the Embassy’s commitment to working in the best interests of Sierra Leone.

Special prayers were offered for Sierra Leone, with Sheikh Abdul Ghani conducting a Quranic reading and prayers for the Muslim community, and Pastor Ansumana Ayub leading Christian prayers.

In his closing remarks, the Head of Chancery, Mr. James Sylvanus Lebbie, thanked the Sierra Leonean community, students, and all guests for honoring the Embassy’s invitation. He encouraged them to reflect on the nation journey and maintain good behavior, stressing the vital role of peace and prayers in national development.

Ambassador Koroma also used the occasion to officially meet with members of the Sierra Leonean community and students in Morocco, personally welcoming each attendee and assuring them that the Embassy remains open to address their concerns and support them during their stay in Morocco.

They also considered the development of a formal cooperation framework related to environmental protection and sustainable growth.

Discussions further touched on Morocco’s flagship initiatives to promote regional integration and South-South cooperation under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI. These include the Africa-Atlantic Gas Pipeline and the broader Africa-Atlantic Initiative, aimed at fostering sustainable development across the continent.

Ambassador Koroma specifically called for the activation of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between Sierra Leone and Morocco in Dakhla on energy cooperation. This agreement involves the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN) and the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE). He invited both institutions to visit Sierra Leone for an on-ground assessment and reaffirmed Sierra Leone’s interest in participating in the Nigeria-Morocco Gas Pipeline project.

The Ambassador recalled that Sierra Leone signed the MOU for the gas pipeline project on Monday, 5th December 2022, in Rabat. The project, which aims to link Nigeria to Morocco, is expected to supply gas across West Africa and into Europe. He emphasized that Sierra Leone’s involvement reflects President Julius Maada Bio’s commitment to addressing the global energy crisis and contributing to the success of this transformative initiative.

The estimated $25 billion African gas pipeline is projected to provide energy to approximately 340 million people and significantly reduce gas flaring on the continent.

Morocco and Sierra Leone continue to enjoy strong bilateral ties, and Ambassador Koroma remains committed to further strengthening cooperation for mutual benefit.
