By Focus 24 Newspaper

Sierra Leonean author, youth advocate, and human rights champion, Alpha Amadu Jalloh, has been celebrated on the continental stage after receiving the coveted Africa Renaissance Leadership Award at the Scholar Media Africa Conference held recently in Nairobi, Kenya. Alpha Amadu Jalloh’s recognition comes as no surprise to those familiar with his impactful work across Africa. His fearless commitment to exposing societal injustices, defending human rights, and promoting youth development has earned him respect and admiration both at home and abroad. His groundbreaking book, Monopoly of Happiness: Unveiling Sierra Leone’s Social Imbalance, was also praised at the conference. The book explores the deeply entrenched inequalities in Sierra Leone, and calls for a transformative movement towards justice, fairness, and shared national prosperity. Through his work, Jalloh has become a leading voice advocating for an inclusive and equitable Sierra Leone. As Sierra Leone marked its 64th Independence Anniversary, Jalloh’s message resonated strongly across audiences. He emphasized that the nation must engage in deep reflection rather than celebration, stressing that true independence remains elusive. He called for a renewed spirit of patriotism among leaders and citizens alike, highlighting the urgent need for unity, accountability, and national pride. Alpha Amadu Jalloh’s award is not just a personal triumph; it is a symbol of hope for all Sierra Leoneans striving for a society where justice, equality, and dignity prevail. His achievements continue to inspire a new generation of Africans committed to the vision of a better, freer continent.
