Long Road Home - Building Reconciliation and Trust in Post-War Sierra Leone
The 1991-2002 war in Sierra Leone was infamous for mass amputations, widespread sexual violence, and forced recruitment of children into rebel forces. It was not an ethnic war, but one that tore families and communities apart in ways that could not be sustained in peacetime. After the war, the Sierra Leone government and civil society organizations encouraged combatants to return home and communities to accept them, even when the combatants, or forces they were associated with, had committed horrendous crimes in those very villages.
This book describes how excombatants and civilian survivors in Sierra Leone struggled to reconcile and build trust in their communities a year after the war ended. It explores the contribution of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission to reconciliation and justice, and questions whether reconciliation is always a good thing. And it examines how the seemingly nebulous concept of reconciliation can be understood so that the term is useful for peacebuilding and consistent with justice. Finally the author argues that Sierra Leone has much to teach peacebuilders in societies emerging from intra-communal violence and much to contribute to comparative analyses of post-conflict transitions.
