Ghanaian Diplomat In Exile

As Ghana goes to the polls on December

7, 2012, the choice for many Ghanaians varies but for me it centers on the core

ideals declared on the 6th March 1957 when Dr. Kwame Nkrumah deliberately

dressed in a northern Ghanaian traditional attire, the “smok,” “Fuugu” or “Bubang

Riiga” as we may term it depending on location and our diverse cultural

heritage, declared ‘Freedom,’ ‘Freedom,’ to sell unity in Ghana. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah

declared ‘Freedom’... “…the Independence of Ghana is Meaningless unless it is

linked up with the total liberation of Africa…” as a socio-political seed for

Africa. In that declaration, Ghana, the beacon on modern democracy in Africa

South of the Sahara, took lead with a clear message aimed at fostering “Freedom and

Justice.” It is therefore

surprising that 50 years thereafter, a son of the jubilant crowds of Ghanaians

from the northern territories would fear alienated not anywhere, but at Ghana’s

Embassy Abroad. Right there at the apex of international quest for “Freedom and

Justice” as expressed in

modern diplomacy.

This son of Ghana, Alhaji Issaka Issifu,

serving as a Consular Officer was humiliated, tortured in some instances,

refused his salaries, genuine refunds, allowances, locked overnight at the

Ghana chancery in Tokyo, Japan. Even after I timely contacted both the home and

host Ministries of Foreign Affairs respectively, I could only be rescued by a

combined Police and Paramedics subconsciously the next day. Subsequently, I, a

diplomat (Alhaji Issaka Issifu), without being declared a “persona non Grata”

by Japan was refused access to the Chancery of Ghana in Tokyo, Japan (a

sanctuary for everyone), by H. E. Ambassador (Dr.) Barfuor Adjei-Barwuah. This

Ambassador, a senior citizen threatened my children and denied me the right to

handover my office and duties. He manipulated the Japanese Police

(http://Japanese Police), and instructed them to evict me from my official

resident while I was preparing to ship my belongings. All these happened at the

watch of the respective Ministries, Departments and Agencies of the Government

of the Republic of Ghana under the Kufuor administration. Unfortunately, these

abuses occurred directly at the watch of Honorable Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo

Addo, then Minister and now the NPP Presidential Candidate for the December

elections. Honorable as he may be a politician, an accomplished Lawyer and a

revered senior citizen of our country, Nana avoided his responsibility to serve

the interest of all Ghanaians and watched me humiliated despite personal

appeals, petitions and threats to our national security.

Since then me and my family currently in

exile in the USA, have been fighting and now close to the United Nations with a

simple administrative cry of an aggrieved Ghanaian diplomat. At home concerns

for my life is prominent to family members as they witness unresolved political

assassinations in one of Africa’s most peace nations of all times. This is so

because our politicians seemingly are desperately in a struggle for power to protect

their respective interests and those of their political Parties.

Our efforts with the late President,

John Evans Atta Mills (May His Soul Rest In Peace) was very helpful but got

staled when our security was down played. We were hopeful that gradually that

would be understood as we were prepared to mount open protestations in New York

when the President suddenly passed. All kinds of falsehood said about me that

are cleared officially, are still unknown to our families, friends and

Ghanaians. So we intend to go out with the case and I am willing to cooperate

in any investigations by Ghana if my life and those of family members are

guaranteed. I shall not risk that in empty space and would insist that the

Government of the Republic of Ghana responsibly act as expected. Willingly do

the right thing; ensure a clean diplomatic recall for me. Then, if by law it

finds me answerable to any case as I am in their custody, I shall respond

according. At that juncture, under the custody of the government, ensuring my

safety, the respective authorities can still take any administrative or other

decision(s). For now we shall continue to give out facts and evidence why me

and my family were targeted, humiliated, abandoned and officially threatened

with CONTRACT KILLERS by officials under the Kufuor government.

We have lost family members, relatives,

friends and colleagues because officialdom seeks to protect a known serial

abuser, Ambassador (Dr.) Barfuor

Adjei-Barwuah, former Ghana’s Envoy to Japan. My immediate appeal to my

friends, colleagues and comrades in power or out of power, is to consider this

fight not personal, but the continuity of the struggle in our times to

institutionalize the aspirations of our founding fathers, including the direct

parents of Nana Addo Dankwah AKufo Addo, a genuinely honest man who perhaps

allowed things at his “blind sight” or “blind spot” to degenerate to this

levels. Spinning is of no essence to anyone because most of the facts are

getting out into the public starting from now. Unfortunately some would be

graphic and painful. BBC and any Ghanaian

news agency are welcomed to investigate and anyone personally interested would

receive our maximum cooperation.

the world, and anyone can contact our Facebook PAGE “Solidarity Campaign in support
