The escalating crisis of young individuals falling victim to Kush and other illicit substances is both distressing and alarming. The time has come for us to raise our voices and call upon the government to implement measures to safeguard our youth. This call to action is driven by the tragic mass burials of 32 young people, whose potential and hopes were extinguished by these lethal drugs. What amplifies the tragedy is the overwhelming silence from our leaders, which cannot go unnoticed.

For years, Sierra Leone has battled with the surge of illegal drugs, yet decisive action to halt and prevent their widespread distribution has been lacking. Our platform is committed to advocating for meaningful change. We insist on accountability for those responsible for importing, distributing, and facilitating access to these substances. They must face the consequences of their actions, as the government needs to place the well-being and future of its young citizens at the forefront of its priorities.

We urge you to stand with us by signing this petition, compelling the government to act swiftly and decisively.
