'Yabre Mo'...Opposition parties shake Accra

Writing on the Opposition demonstration in Accra yesterday, the Weekend Statesman in a lead story, says that thousands of people from all walks of life yesterday joined the historic protest march by five Opposition parties, dubbed "Yabre Mo", through certain principal streets of Accra.

The paper says that the fact that the demonstration took place was itself a tribute to the perseverance of the Joint Action Committee (JAC), under which the Opposition operated, in the face of intimidation and inflammatory statements and moves by officials of the ruling government.

The Weekend Statesman says that the leadership of the NDC, after failing to get the JAC to rescind its decision to demonstrate, resorted to fabrication, lies subterfuge and 'sabre-rattling' in the hop of scaring people off the streets n solidarity with the organisers.
