Five Presidents from various African countries are presently at the National Stadium in Freetown, Sierra Leone, gracing the country's 50th Independence Anniversary.
President Alpha Conde of Guinea, President Teodoro Obiang Nguema of Equatorial Guinea, President Amadou Toumani Touré of Mali, President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia and President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal have already been welcomed at the National Stadium by throngs of citizens and foreign nationals alike.
Two Vice Presidents from Ghana and Gambia, John Dramani Mahama and Aja Dr. Isatou Njie-Saidy are also in the country to celebrate with Sierra Leone.
All the twenty one stands and basement of the National Stadium in Freetown are already full to capacity with hundreds of people still struggling outside to gain access to the main bowl.
Cabinet Ministers, Parliamentarians, Paramount Chiefs, Members of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps, and a host of dignitaries are all present at the Stadium.
The military and police band are all in attendance.
Earlier this morning, President Koroma delivered his independence message on national radio and television.

I believe Yayah Jammeh is still the president of Gambia not Wade who is to Senegal so please make the correction.
