*Coward in Chief: Bio Kills Protesters, But Won’t Touch Yenga*
By Frequency Modulations 44.4
> “He can shoot civilians in Freetown, but can’t even bark at a Guinean soldier in Yenga.”
President Julius Maada Bio has officially turned the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces (RSLAF) into a parade band. While the army plants cashew trees and plans for PX supermarkets, Guinean troops are still occupying Yenga — Sierra Leonean territory.
At the newly named Dr Julius Maada Bio Parade Square, soldiers reportedly marched in high spirits as they were promised rental houses, tax-free shops, and peacekeeping deployments abroad. But there is one thing they have not been ordered to do: defend Sierra Leone’s eastern border from foreign occupation.
Why? Because Julius Maada Bio only deploys force when the enemy is unarmed and Sierra Leonean.
When Protesters Speak, He Sends Bullets
President Bio has shown zero hesitation in using the same army and police to crush his own people. From the August 10 protests to Makeni, Tombo, and beyond, citizens who dared to protest were beaten, jailed, or killed.
Young men were dragged from their homes. Women wept as their sons were buried in silence. The president said they were “terrorists.” The state said they were “incited.” But the truth is: they were Sierra Leoneans demanding better.
Yet, no such violence, no such aggression, no such urgency has been shown toward Guinean soldiers who have quietly and confidently taken control of Yenga.
*What Kind of Commander-in-Chief Only Fights His Own People?*
It’s a question every patriotic Sierra Leonean must now ask:
Who is the real threat to our nation — unarmed civilians in the streets of Freetown, or foreign soldiers in Yenga?
President Bio’s record answers that question loudly. When the poor rise up, he brings the guns.
When Guinea crosses the border, he brings cashews.
The Great Military Scam: Parade Squares and Peacekeeping While Our Borders Bleed
Instead of confronting the Guinean occupation, the Bio government proudly announces:
A 3,000-acre cashew farm for the army
Tax-free PX shops for soldiers
Rental units in provincial towns
Equipment to deploy troops on UN peacekeeping missions
In short, the RSLAF is being repurposed as a business venture. The goal is no longer national defense — it’s economic distraction.
How do you explain a military force that kills its own youth in the capital but won’t reclaim Yenga from foreign invaders?
> “We’re not a sovereign country anymore,” a retired officer told FM 44.4.
“We’re just a security company where the real threat is the citizen, and the customer is the presidency.”
Yenga Is Still Gone. And So Is Bio’s Dignity.
For over 20 years, the people of Sierra Leone have heard empty promises about reclaiming Yenga. Bio campaigned on patriotism. He wore his army record like a badge of honor. But when the time came to show real courage, he folded.
> He can order crackdowns in the slums of Freetown.
But he can’t send a single platoon to face Guinea.
He can hold parades in his name.
But he can’t defend the name of Sierra Leone.
Final Word: No Sovereignty, No Silence
Mr. President:
You cannot be commander-in-chief only when the people are defenseless.
You cannot rename military squares while foreign boots still stand on our soil.
And you cannot celebrate peace abroad while you rule through violence at home.
Bring back Yenga.
Or step aside.
Or face the judgment of history as the man who ruled with bullets but surrendered with silence and cashew nuts.
