■ About The Thinking Crowd
We Exist Because
Sierra Leone Deserves Better
Independent political analysis from Freetown. No party allegiance. No corporate backing. Just rigorous, honest thinking about the country we love.
Why We Started
Sierra Leone has no shortage of news. It has a shortage of analysis. Every election cycle, every policy announcement, every crisis — the same voices repeat the same talking points along the same party lines. Nobody asks the structural questions. Nobody follows the numbers. Nobody holds the argument up to the light and checks if it holds.
The Thinking Crowd was founded in 2023 to fill that gap. We are a Sierra Leone-focused political publication built on a single belief: that good analysis changes how people see power — and that Sierra Leoneans, at home and in the diaspora, deserve journalism that treats them as thinkers, not audiences.
The problem with Sierra Leone is not a lack of information. It is a lack of people willing to think carefully about what the information means.
What We Cover
We cover Sierra Leonean politics with the seriousness it deserves — government accountability, economic policy, electoral integrity, and the long arc of the country’s democratic story. We also cover Africa and global geopolitics, because Sierra Leone does not exist in a vacuum. The war in the Middle East, the price of oil, the politics of the African Union — all of it lands on our doorstep eventually, and we trace the connections.
We publish long-form analysis, open letters to government, satirical commentary, and occasional essays on the ideas that shape our world. Everything we write is grounded in evidence and written to be read by a thinking person — not a party member.
■ Our Numbers
Freetown
politics to satire
reading TTC
No party backing.
■ What We Stand For
Independence
We are not SLPP. We are not APC. We hold every party, every government, and every public figure to the same standard of scrutiny.
Rigour
We check numbers. We read policy documents. We compare what governments say to what the data shows. Opinion without evidence is just noise.
Voice
We write unapologetically from a Sierra Leonean perspective — for the diaspora in the UK, the US, and Canada, and for every thinking person back home.
Courage
We publish what needs to be said, not what is easy to say. If the argument is correct and the evidence holds, we write it — regardless of who it challenges.
