SIERRA LEONE
Civil war has almost destroyed Sierra Leone's normal infrastructure so an Internet network doesn't really have a chance. However one ISP does operate in Freetown. Most web sites are hosted abroad but surprisingly the government manages a creditable official site.

Sierra Leone Web
http://www.sierra-leone.org/
An excellent all-rounder with news updates, important documents such as the constitution, a directory of associations and non-governmental organisations, and introduction to Sierra Leone's culture.

Sierra Leone Poetry
Poetry inspired by the country and people of Sierra Leone.


Sierra Leone on the web
http://www.sierra-leone.gov.sl/
The government's official web site. Get past the rather bland opening page and you'll discover an excellent guide to trade policies, and a section on the problems of reconstruction, resettlement and rehabilitation facing Sierra Leone.

Sierra Leone National Portal Site
http://www.slonline.net/
A directory of web sites relating to Sierra Leone. (Not always functional so several visits are usually required before one gains access to the site.)

Cry Freetown
http://www.cryfreetown.org/
The companion web site to journalist Sorious Samura's documentary on the 1999 rebel invasion of Freetown.


Sierra Leone Live
http://www.salonelive.com/
A professional looking site that's sadly not as newsy as it could be.
