Sierra Leone is a country located on the west coast of Africa. It is bordered by Guinea to the north and east, and Liberia to the south. The capital city is Freetown.

Sierra Leone gained independence from Britain in 1961 and has a presidential system of government. The country has a diverse population with over 20 different ethnic groups. The official language is English, but Krio, a creole language, is also widely spoken.

Sierra Leone has a history of civil war and political instability. The most recent conflict, which ended in 2002, left the country's infrastructure severely damaged and its economy in shambles. Since the end of the war, Sierra Leone has made progress in rebuilding and has achieved some economic growth, although it remains one of the poorest countries in the world.

The country is rich in natural resources, including diamonds, gold, and iron ore, but these resources have often been a source of conflict and corruption. In recent years, there have been efforts to improve transparency and accountability in the mining sector.

Sierra Leone is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It has also been an active participant in peacekeeping efforts in the region.
