- Sierra Leone translates to “Lion Mountains” in Portuguese, which refers to the hills and mountains that surround the Freetown Peninsula.
- The population of Sierra Leone is 8.9 million as of 2024, with a median age of 19.3 years. This reflects Africa’s youthful population, where 70% of sub-Saharan Africa is under 30 years old.
- Sierra Leone is home to a rich variety of wildlife, including the endangered pygmy hippopotamus, located in the forests and swamps of West Africa, including parts of Liberia and the Ivory Coast. They are known for their elusive nature and are mostly nocturnal, spending much of their time in water to keep cool.
- The Sierra Leonean flag has three horizontal stripes: green symbolises natural resources, white represents unity and justice, and blue stands for the natural harbour in the capital, Freetown.
- Krio, an English-based creole, is the most widely spoken language in Sierra Leone and serves as a common means of communication among the country’s diverse ethnic groups. English is the official language and is used in schools, government, and media.
