In a statement, Dr. Kamara expressed his admiration for the enduring strength of American democracy, describing Trump’s leadership as a symbol of hope and freedom.
Dr. Samura Kamara said: “On behalf of the people of Sierra Leone and in my personal capacity, I extend heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency on your inauguration as the 45th President of the United States of America”.
He emphasised the United States’ critical role in promoting global peace, stability and democratic values. “Your presidency comes at a pivotal time for stopping the unprecedented erosion of democracy in many parts of the globe.

“This historic moment reflects the enduring strength of American democracy,” he said. “The longstanding ties between Sierra Leone and the U.S. will continue to flourish under your leadership, fostering greater courage to stand together against the abuse of democratic governance rather than yielding to it.”
