Thanks for your comments. I am happy that you have similar interests like me. You are welcome to Sierra leone. Hope to be of support to your research.

Tnx, I reason Sierra Leone is an appropriate choice, with particular reference to our past, in a multiethnic society. However, I would limit my answers, advice to specific questions and references as may be required by you; otherwise I will be more than happy to make your dream a success.
