Six members of the international community have expressed concerns of election-related violence and aggression across Sierra Leone.

The UK, U.S, Ireland, Germany, France, and the EU have urged every Sierra Leonean to refrain from violence, respect political choices of one another, and to reject the language of division and hate.

The delegations say the peace pledge signed by President Julius Maada Bio, Dr. Samura Kamara and all political parties in May should set the tone for all supporters of political parties.

They urged the parties to hold on to their commitments to peaceful campaigning and fair conduct in these elections and to resolving grievances through the courts.
