I must start by saying thank you to Kwame Opoku-Berchie whose article I really
enjoyed and writing in support of his article.
My brother I really admired and enjoyed the analysis of the events regarding our
neighbouring country Ivory Coast. Ghana stands the chance to resist any military
action in that country. Remember the so called ECOWAS and its parent AU are just
full of cohorts who do not think for themselves but only dance to the tune of USA,
UN and the EU. They see Africans as animals hence their quick decision to take
military action if Gbagbo refuses to step down. They are the same organisations that
referred to Allassane Outara as a rebel leader when he formed his own army in the
north of Ivory Coast to fight Gbagbo. Only France supported him (Allassane).
We argue on the same issue among ourselves here in the UK and it seems to have some
Nigerian friends to support the military action. We must understand that the only
thing Nigeria understands is violence because they live with it daily in their
country. Their leaders are the ones we feared to have accepted some form of bribe to
engineer military action against Ivorians. Imagine the number of innocent people to
be killed and the burden Ghana would carry with regard to refugees. I urge the
countries surrounding Ivory Coast to refused their territories to be used as
military bases to attack innocent Ivorians.They are not even telling us how long it
would take to remove Gbagbo and en stool Outara, and the subsequent rebuilding of
that country. The saying says that if your neighbour's house is on fire and you do
not help in time your house may also be burnt. They are our neighbours so we need
dialogue to solve this issue rather than military action. That's
all Nigeria leaders are waiting for( listen to their pay masters to destroy their
neighbours. Shame on them. I was surprised to hear that the USA president
congratulated the Nigerian president for championing the Ivorian crises
resolutions. The UN is supposed to be a mediator in our countries but they were the
first to congratulate Allassane. The Kenyan prime minister was quick to ask for
military removal of Gbagbo and yet the AU delegated him to meet with Gbagbo. This
is childish approach to the current issue in Ivory Coast. Same people have already
taken side so what solution are they expecting from them and our ECOWAS leading
country Nigeria. The only language Nigeria leaders understand is killing to make
money. Who says Nigeria loves peace whilst they fail to maintain peace in their own
country.
Why can't they just cancel the election results and the ECOWAS, AU, EU, USA and the
UN take charge of fresh election in that country to prevent war. They just want
their TV stations to focus on yet another war in Africa. That's what makes them
happy. Our leaders should know better and resolve issues before they even get worse.
Nigeria had the most fraudulent election in history according to EU and other
observers. Even the late president Umaru Yaradura said it himself. Opposition
parties have their leaders killed before the announcement of the results but no AU,
ECOWAS, USA, EU and UN cautioned Nigeria. We are waiting again for the next April
election in Nigeria. Can someone tell me how many innocent candidates have already
died in various states of Nigeria but the so called international organisations as
well as ECOWAS and AU are silent over it? Are they telling us that those matters are
not problems in the region. They should stop being selective when it comes to
Africa issues.
My brother stay blessed and happy new year.
Wisdom Yegbe.
