  The Kabbah Government's Response to the AFRC Negotiating Paper - Sierra Leone Web
Abass Bundu again, as Minister of Agriculture, is reputed to have sold a whole ship of fertilizers which were destined for Sierra Leone and for the people of Sierra Leone, and converted the proceeds to his own use and benefit.
Abass Bundu sold Sierra Leone passports and Sierra Leone citizenship to Hong Kong citizens for the sum of $15,000 a piece while he was Foreign Minister and pocketed the proceeds.
Abass Bundu is the son of Momodu Sesay, a man without a background of which Abass Bundu would be proud.

Bundu opens the book by tracing the genesis of the Sierra Leone crisis to the very first military coup in the country in 1967, barely six years after gaining independence from Britain.
Bundu criticises the Ecowas so-called "sub-regional forces" for exceeding their mandate in Sierra Leone, and also lampoons the international community for adopting the "counterproductive strategy of see no evil, speak no evil, thus making itself an accessory to [the] transgressions [of the Nigerian troops].
In conclusion, Bundu submits that: "Unless and until the crisis of public confidence in the independence and impartiality of national electoral and judicial systems is halted and reversed, responsibility for electoral supervision, not mere monitoring, should be vested in an impartial international agency, be it at continental or regional level.

Bundu has been able to bring his claim under the jurisdiction of the English Court solely on the basis that I am visiting this country.
Indeed Dr. Bundu reinforces the theory that Sierra Leone is a more appropriate forum in paragraph 8 of his particulars of claim, where he states that he is entitled to claim damages against me under the laws of Sierra Leone.
Further, there is nothing to prevent Dr. Bundu from bringing his claim in Sierra Leone (although it is wholly unnecessary for him to do so, as, if this car does belong to DR. Bundu he can retrieve it from my offices on presentation of proof that it belongs to him).

What lessons are there for the international community as a whole, and the UN in particular?” According to Bundu, “the conflict has fostered a culture of blame, not of accountability; of hate, not of harmony; and of dependency, not of self-esteem”.
And so with the absence of “social and political organisation on the scale required for democracy to flourish, the tuition the indigenous politicians received was neither in the theory nor in the practice of local self-government...
The question was whether this was not a mis-charaterisation.” Bundu criticises the Ecowas so-called “sub-regional forces” for exceeding their mandate in Sierra Leone, and also lampoons the international community for adopting the “counterproductive strategy of see no evil, speak no evil, thus making itself an accessory to the transgressions (of the Nigerian troops).

DR ABASS BUNDU ADMITTED GUILT AND WAS ALLOWED BAIL.
III) There is also the human right angle - Dr Abass Bundu represented Johnny Paul Koroma's government that joined the RUF at several international meetings.
All Sierra Leoneans would then want to know whether Dr Abass Bundu who played some role in a regime with such heinous record of atrocities should not face charges of war crimes and human right abuses either in the British courts or in the international court to take place in Sierra Leone.

 Welcome to the Sierra Leone People's Party Official Website
Dr Abass Bundu's attempt to use the English Courts as a vehicle for creating publicity and embarrassing the Vice President has been quickly exposed by the High Court of Justice in London, and has landed the former NPRC Foreign Minister with a heavy legal bill.
Dr Bundu served the legal process on the Vice President during a recent visit to London claiming £84,000 for the loss of a car he claims was stolen from him by the Vice President.
At the lunchtime adjournment, Dr Bundu's solicitors, on instruction from him, conceded that the English action should be halted, but Dr Bundu was not prepared to pay all of the Vice President's costs.

 FAF - Preamble
Another expendable intellectual prostitute was Abass Bundu of Sierra Leone --- the former secretary-general of ECOWAS --- though his fate was less horrible.
When he was appointed by the 29-year-old illiterate Captain Valentine Strasser to be Sierra Leone's foreign minister in early 1995, he left home to grab the post in a cloud of dust.
"When we appointed Abass Bundu through a radio announcement, he didn't complain but when we fired him though another radio announcement, he wants to make noise" he added (The African Observer, 8-21 August 1995, 5).

The interest of African intellectuals in regional integration was indicated by the large number of abstracts and papers received in response to the call for papers for the conference: over 300 submissions of abstracts and over 100 papers, from all parts of the subregion.
Former executive secretary of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), Abass Bundu, * presents a vision of all that ECOWAS could be, and calls for renewed leadership and commitment from the member states.
In Africa, he points to the gradual recognition of such principles in various charters and treaties and argues that new instruments, such as the proposed regional and subregional parliaments and courts or recourse to humanitarian intervention, could be used for the collective promotion of human rights.

 Re: ABASS BUNDU JOINS SLPP
Dr Bundu had most impressed me at that time with his two closely reasoned articles in West Africa Magazine, advising against foreign intervention at an earlier stage of the civil war, to minimize deaths and casualties.
Of course Dr Bundu and Mr James Allie (not incongruous bedfellows on the national landscape) will help the people of Sierra Leone improve relations with all Commonwealth countries and with the Commonwealth which provides many development opportunities even in the cultural and agricultural fields, which in my view are not being fully exploited.
That was a short break and a short list of possibilities - and Dr Abbass Bundu should be of tremendous help in the brain-drain region in which two heads are better than one.

Anything which falls an inch short of returning Kabba to power with the full force of the Constitution will be a loss to the people.

However, these IGOs have not had any significant development impact, because of difficulties in securing the effective implementation of integration programs in the member countries.

 Volume 2 No 10
The behaviour of the Northern dominated government of the APC on the outbreak of the war and the feeble manner in which they handled events up to their overthrow indicated, to me at least, that there was a conspiracy to allow the South and East to be destabilised so leaving the North intact.
The alleged statements of people like Dr Abass Bundu and others about keeping the war away from the North - not from the whole of Sierra Leone - if indeed true, show how partisan some Northern elites had become.
However, blanket accusations do not help because possibly thousands of Northerners have died and suffered physical injury from the same violence as in the South and East.

In early May 1993, ECOWAS Executive Secretary Abass Bundu called on relief organizations to cease all cross-border relief operations and announced the establishment of a "tranquility corridor" through which relief supplies would be transported, policed by ECOMOG.
ECOMOG contends that Taylor uses the cross-border convoys to transport supplies for his forces, and has told relief organizations that they must inform ECOMOG when they conduct cross-border operations.
