Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie began a goodwill trip Monday to Sierra Leone to meet survivors of this battered West African nation's devastating war and urge authorities to make public the recommendations of a special commission set up to reconcile the nation. Jolie, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees since 2001, flew to Freetown late Monday, agency spokeswoman Rachel Goldstein-Rodriguez said. Sierra Leone's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, set up after a brutal 10-year-war ended in 2002, has collected thousands of written statements documenting atrocities and held public hearings in a bid to offer victims a shot at catharsis by recounting their tales. The commission's final report was presented to President Ahmed Tejah Kabbah in October 2004, but it and its recommendations have yet to be made public. Jolie is expected to meet Kabbah on Wednesday, as well as other government officials, aid workers and victims of the bloodshed during her three-day visit, the New York-based nonprofit organization Witness said in a statement.
