Three years after the end of the decade-long civil war, Sierra Leone was increasingly turning its back on its violent past and started to talk about its future. The last UN peacekeeping troops were withdrawn at the end of the year, making the Special Court of Sierra Leone (SCSL) the last – and unfortunately increasingly controversial – legacy of the conflict. With a 7.4% growth in GDP and relatively low inflation, plus increasing investments by foreign companies, the economy was well on track. Many of these sound economic developments must been credited to massive financial support by the international community. Endemic corruption, in particular involving high-level public figures, remained a major worry for this small post-conflict nation.
