I am not surprised at the people of Atuna because I have worked in Jaman South District before. These are people who even protect their forests when bushfires are prevalent in the area. They created a fire belts around their forests to prevent bushfires. They were the first community to have green vegetation in Jaman south of the Brong Ahofo region during the whole dry season in Ghana. So I am happy that they have preserved their forests.

These are the unsung heroes of today. Human beings with sense and a lot of love for their homeland and no time for Nkwasiasem Party People and their filthy lucre.

Government must adopt Atuna style in galamsay fight it is the only way. It is community war not the military. If tomorrow Atuna decides to to do mining they can sit down with mining commission to provide special part of Atuna land for the community to do mining themselves and nobody else.God bless Atuna.

I'm proud of these people. They are sacrificing what they will get today for future generations. They are protecting future generations. Not all people will do that

Well done for standing up for your local community. When govt is corrupt and incompetent and unwilling to do justice. You the local community are protecting your own future and that of your generations to come destruction and ecological disaster. May you continue to be empowered and protective of your local community and biodiverse areas so you all enjoy the fruit of your labor and what is rightfully yours.

Compare the chiefs in manhyia with the chief of Atuna and judge where real sense of wisdom can be found. Is there any better brain at manhyia palace than what we have at Atuna?

The chief wanted to sell the land by consulting the people but, their smart thinking stopped him from doing so.

This is the example we all have to learn as citizens.
The country belongs to us all and not the government alone.
If we decide to make everything the government’s responsibility we can’t get anywhere.
We are all responsible and must work together for the good of our communities and the country.
Be patriotic be a responsible citizen and our country will be better.

I can boldly say that the traditional leaders especially the chiefs in most communities are greatly involved in the gamansey practice. Nobody can enter a community land for any purpose without the knowledge of the traditional chief. Our political leaders are fully involved, who gave the Chinese visa to enter Ghana? How can a Chinese get concession without approval from the District or Municipal Assembly ? Why are our men in uniform sitting aloof for? The politicians are hiding behind democracy and are harming us. The so called democracy will not help Africa.

Atuna people have won my heart. They have demonstrated that they are humans who can think far. Any community that allows gala in their area is myopic in thinking. Community leaders please don't sell off your people for your selfish interest. Our future is the environment.
