Overview of Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is a West African country bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, Guinea to the north and Liberia to the southeast, with Freetown as its capital. The country has a population of about 8 million people, predominantly from the Temne and Limba tribes, with English as the official language. The economy is based on minerals (diamonds, bauxite) and agriculture (cocoa, coffee), which was damaged by the civil war (1991-2002) and has gradually recovered in recent years. The country is rich in natural resources, but its infrastructure needs to be improved. The country is culturally diverse, with unique traditional music, dance and handicrafts, and has a long coastline and natural landscapes with high potential for tourism.
