A | 文赏画评又见琴岛张卫民/文琴岛，又名琴屿，俗称小青岛。 Dozens of businesses, government offices, vehicles, and at least three police stations went up in flames in Freetown, Makeni, Kamakwie, and other cities across Sierra Leone from August 10 through 12, with over 113 people arrested and police introducing an emergency nationwide curfew and deploying tear gas and live ammunition to disperse crowds.,The curfew was lifted on August 13, with banks, businesses, government offices, and most stores reopened and communal services beginning to clear the damage. However, ramped-up security measures, including federal troop deployments to assist police, have been left in place.,What Happened?,Sierra Leone is one of the poorest nations in the world, ranking 186 out of 198 in a recent GDP purchasing power parity ranking. An estimated 80 percent of the population lives in poverty, many of them in the country’s rural areas. Like other nations in Africa, the country has faced special difficulties amid the global economic calamity brought on by COVID, and exacerbated by Western restrictions on Russian exports of agricultural goods and fertilizers amid the security crisis in Ukraine, which has caused a major jump in food prices.,AfricaAnti-Russia Sanctions Left Africa Without Access to Grain and Fertilisers, African Union Chief Says3 June, 11:13 GMT,As a net importer of both energy and food, Sierra Leone is especially vulnerable to global economic conditions, and along with food and fertilizers, fuel and electricity costs have also soared. Food prices alone have jumped by over 40 percent over the past few months, with a bag of rice once costing 350 leones now going for over 500. The country’s Central Bank recently removed three zeros from the national currency in a bid to restore confidence. The country has also been overcome by weeks of strikes by government workers, including doctors and teachers, and by small traders protesting poor conditions.,Coup Plot?,However, President Julius Maada Bio has also accused protesters of having ulterior motives beyond the cost of living crisis.,“This was not a protest against the high cost of living occasioned by the ongoing global economic crisis. The chant of the insurrectionists was for a violent overthrow of the democratically-elected government,” Bio said in an address on August 12 after returning to the country from a holiday in London.,Local media pointed to the chants of “Bio must go” among protesters as they gathered in the capital, and the president accused some of the demonstrators of consisting of “APC Warriors,” a reference to the opposition All People’s Congress party, which governed the country from 2007 until 2018, when Bio’s Sierra Leone People’s Party won national elections.,No doubt mindful of the violent civil war which shook the country between 1991 and 2002, claiming as many as 70,000 lives and displacing over 2.5 million people, Bio vowed that “in the coming weeks and months, [the] government will undertake necessary security actions meant to guarantee the peace and security of all citizens.”,“The security forces will, and must, act with great restraint and within their professional codes of service. But be assured that my government will crack down hard on violent insurrectionists, their collaborators, their sponsors and their supporters. My government will relentlessly fight those who would rather use terror and gruesome violence to achieve political goals,” the president said.,As a government, we will continue our engagement with Civil Society as we strive to promote sustainable peace, national cohesion and socio-economic development in Sierra Leone. #newdirectionagenda— President Julius Maada Bio (@PresidentBio) August 18, 2022,Bio did not elaborate on who these “sponsors” and “supporters” were, or whether they included any foreign actors.,Geopolitical Context,Like other African nations, Sierra Leone recently rejected calls by Washington and Brussels to show solidarity with the West and Ukraine and impose sanctions on Russia. But even before the escalation of the Ukraine crisis, relations between Freetown and Washington were tense at times. Last year, US President Joe Biden snubbed Bio by refusing to invite the African leader to the US’ so-called “Democracy Summit.” No reasons were given. However, neighboring Liberia, which faced mass civil unrest of its own between 2019 and 2020, and whose officials have been sanctioned by the US over suspected corruption, did get an invite.,While Sierra Leone maintains economic and political ties with its former British colonial masters, and remains a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, Freetown has sought to expand its partnerships with other geopolitical power centers, including Russia and China. President Bio attended the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi in 2019, where he discussed ways to strengthen economic cooperation between the distant nations. In February 2021, Freetown signed onto Moscow’s efforts to prevent the deployment of weapons in outer space. In May 2021, Bio spoke by phone to President Xi Jinping of China, where they discussed the friendly, “brotherly” relations between the two nations, as well Chinese assistance to Freetown in measures against COVID, and agricultural and economic development.,In this context, the reactions of major foreign powers to this month’s unrest have been telling. While the United States, Britain, and the European Union collectively expressed “grave concern” over the “disturbing reports of violence” and urged the parties to “stay calm, promote accountability and ensure respect for human rights,” China’s Embassy smoothed over the protests altogether, refraining from wagging its finger at Freetown and instead trumpeting the expanding cooperation between the two countries.,We are gravely concerned by reports of violence surrounding today’s demonstrations in Sierra Leone. We urge all parties to stay calm, promote accountability, and ensure respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.— Bureau of African Affairs (@AsstSecStateAF) August 10, 2022,Similarly, while UK High Commissioner to Sierra Leone Lisa Chesney lectured President Bio about how “violence has no place in a democracy and the necessary investigation into August 10 can sit alongside de-escalation,” the Russian Embassy in the Republic of Guinea, which concurrently serves as the Embassy in Sierra Leone, only presented a bare bones report on the situation in the country, Bio’s meetings with community and tribal leaders, and indicated that an internal “debriefing” was being created “regarding the causes, course and consequences of the riots on August 10.”。

B | 位于青岛火车站东侧的海面上。

C | 它距离海岸720米，与著名的青岛栈桥隔着两三百米的海面相望。德军占领后就叫它青岛，故此才有了青岛之名。

D | 日军占领后则称加藤岛。岛上树木茂密，山顶上是一个银白色的灯塔，远看与北京北海公园的白塔十分相似。

E | 左边是长堤，堤后就是军港，几艘055D大驱静静地停靠在码头，默默地守候着你我的生活静好。

F | 琴岛距东侧海岸370余米，有长长的海堤与陆地相连。在百度出行是购买琴岛公交卡乘公交车就可以登上琴岛，打卡琴岛灯塔，见证日军修建的军火库及其运送军火的小火车的铁轨，以更加辽阔的视角欣赏青岛的美景。青岛人民喜欢称它小青岛。现在小青岛是青岛市的一个著名景观，文人墨客却把琴岛改称为青岛的雅号。听到琴岛的名字就觉得听到了琴声，其实不然。在厦门岛的鼓浪屿上曾经听到过山上音乐学院的琴声，这几年也淹没在拥挤的人群喧闹中。珠海的长琴岛风景秀丽，也不过是地形似一把长琴而得名。由于是小众景点，有可能听到琴曲。而青岛的琴岛，不仅仅是地形似一把古琴，还是因为有一个关于仙女在岛上弹琴的传说而得名。青岛是中国最美的海滨城市，比海南的三亚、东北的大连、福建的厦门、广西的北海更胜一筹。也是我有生以来最早来到此地并且来的最多的海滨城市。童年时光在北京，少年时代与整个学生时代都在武汉。我第一次看到大海是在大连，那是刚大学毕业进入铁四局下属的工程机械厂就被派来代表铁四局参加铁道部组织的机械制图新国标的学习。可能是因为是参加新国标编写的大连工学院的白老师上课，就安排在旅顺口区的日式小楼里，好像还是张学良住过的地方。学习结束后利用转火车的机会我又到大连港看了港口的大轮船。第二次是去的深圳，就是到蛇口工业区附近的海边看了一下，没有看到美丽的风景。再就是来青岛了，一下火车就闻到海的味道。一个转身就是美丽的山海风景，海风拍打着礁石，掀起白色的浪花。风景秀丽并且别具一格的海中栈桥把视线移到停泊在军港的舰艇，不禁让人想到苏小明的《军港之夜》那柔美的旋律。

G | 在长江边长大并且酷爱游泳的我，特别喜欢宽阔的水面，所以向往大海。像伟大领袖毛主席那样，并且是响应老人家的号召，喜欢到大江大河里游泳，到风口浪尖上去锻炼。到中流击水，浪遏飞舟的意境，鼓舞着我们那一代人奋斗的脚步。当然，比大江大河更好的是大海，每次看到大海都给我留下深刻的印象。来青岛最频繁的时期是90年在铁四局济青公路指挥部的那几年，一到星期天休息就结伴来青岛游泳。

H | 离开济青公路后又来青岛参观过海尔集团张总怒砸电冰箱的现场，几次过来给国家注册审核员讲课，还有岛相关企业的审核工作。退休了，赶上在中科大当老师的儿子应山东省人工智能学会的邀请今天在黄岛组织了一个国家级的芯片领域的学术交流会议，并且需要讲一个主题讲座。暑假期间，为了看着两个孙子，把我们老两口也带来了青岛。从青岛火车站坐一号线地铁半个小时就经过凤凰岛与团岛，穿越了海底隧道来到黄岛的希尔顿金沙滩大酒店。希尔顿金沙滩大酒就在黄岛金沙滩的海边，海边就是每年举行青岛啤酒节的地方。

I | 形似鲲鹏展翅的建筑物是伸向海空的臂膀是正在上演着高空蹦极的活动。

J | 酒店的服务也确实不错。行政餐厅从早上六点半的早餐、下午两点到五点的下午茶点、晚上五点半到九点半的晚餐都是免费的，午餐也是自助餐。各种海鲜、肉类与水果菜蔬品类繁多、制法齐全。

K | 实在是琳琅满目、喷香诱人。可惜到了我这个年纪，食量萎缩，只能是少而精的挑选最好吃的东西来品尝，主要任务就是陪孙辈用餐了。看着周围那些油光锃亮的黑人和体态肥胖的白人还在大口朵颐的进食也十分令人羡慕。作者近照作者简介：张卫民，1955年6月出生，为恢复高考后的武汉理工大学汽车拖拉机首届本科毕业生；1999年，合肥工业大学管理科学硕士研究生班毕业。
