In Part Three of this special Honestly Speaking series for National Remembrance Day, the focus turns to prevention — and responsibility.

Often repeated, “never again” can sound like a slogan. In this episode, it is treated as a question: what must be done to ensure Sierra Leone never returns to the kind of brutal conflict that defined the civil war?

Through reflections from survivors, historians, media practitioners, civic voices, and ordinary Sierra Leoneans, the episode examines unresolved grievances, the risks of forgetting, and the role of leadership, media, and civic education in sustaining peace.

The conversation underscores a central truth: peace does not maintain itself. It requires honesty, vigilance, and collective responsibility.

This final part brings the series to a close by asking what remembrance truly demands — now, and in the future.
