The U.S. Embassy in Freetown has officially announced the resignation of Ambassador Bryan D. Hunt, effective September 17, 2025. Citing personal reasons related to family medical considerations, Ambassador Hunt will not be returning to Sierra Leone.
In a public notice issued on Thursday, the Embassy confirmed that Chargé d’Affaires Jared Yancey will continue to lead the Embassy’s operations until a new ambassador is appointed.
During his two-year tenure, Ambassador Hunt made significant contributions to strengthening the U.S.–Sierra Leone partnership, particularly in the areas of health, security, and economic development. In a farewell message to Embassy staff, he expressed gratitude for his time in Sierra Leone, stating, “I have loved every moment of my time in Sierra Leone and deeply admire the work you all do to advance the U.S.–Sierra Leone relationship.”
The Embassy reassured the public that the United States remains committed to its partnership with Sierra Leone and plans to continue building on the foundation established during Hunt’s time in office.
