The SSS class are also learning history - discussing the formation of Krios and Fullahs in Sierra Leone. For the Krios, their composition starts in the 1800’s - after the Abolition of Slave Trade. This was followed by the acquisition of lands promised after leaving America and Europe. The Fullahs came from Fouta Djallon, which is in what is now Guinea, and settled in every part of the country but with majority on the north. They migrated into what is now Sierra Leone with a motive to established trade links and to teach the Islamic faith to others. Today the Krios and the Fullahs made up of a least of 5% of the total population in Sierra Leone.
