President Dr. Julius Maada Bio’s statesmanship on global peace and security has earned unprecedented visibility across international media platforms, following Sierra Leone’s leadership of the United Nations Security Council in November.
Two major diplomatic actions led by President Bio drew extensive global attention: the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2803 on Gaza, and Sierra Leone’s proposal for an ECOWAS–UN–AU Joint Compact for Peace and Resilience in the Sahel.
According to global media monitoring data, coverage of the President’s leadership generated an estimated 245 million people in total reach, with over 219 million ad impressions, 78 million long-form reads, 34 million deep engagements, and more than 3.4 million direct forwards. This level of readership reflects the growing international interest in Sierra Leone’s voice on issues of global importance.
Major international outlets such as AP News, Bloomberg Terminal channels, and MENAFN, alongside hundreds of U.S. network affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, and CW, carried the stories across major American cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Houston, Atlanta, and Washington D.C.
African and global governance platforms, including Africa News Currents, African News Ledger, The Africa Gazette, World Politics Report, and Government Daily Review, also amplified the President’s message.
President Bio’s chairmanship of the session that adopted Resolution 2803 was widely reported as a principled call for the protection of civilians, unhindered humanitarian access, and a renewed diplomatic horizon for lasting peace in Gaza.
In a separate session, his proposal for an ECOWAS–UN–AU Joint Compact was highlighted as a groundbreaking African-led mechanism to address terrorism, governance instability, and food insecurity in the Sahel.
Together, these actions have positioned Sierra Leone as a respected voice in international diplomacy, and President Bio as a leader shaping constructive global conversations on peace, security, and regional cooperation.
President Julius Maada Bio has today returned safely to Freetown, marking the end of a successful mission that once again placed Sierra Leone at the center of global peace diplomacy.
