Kid's gloves treatment of galamseyers is emboldening them. The government's deliberate FAILURE to go after kingpins is at the root cause of all these. Blame the government. No one else.

He won't declare a state of emergency because he is benefiting from the menace which is why he said that whether it is legal or illegal the proceeds remain in the country rather than going to outsiders.

The soldiers should be told to shoot machine gun fire into the stomach of all those seen digging even the smallest hole in the villages. No.mercy. Fire gbigbigbigbigbi into their stomach. Even if your commander shout cease fire continue shooting gbigbigbigbigbi for about one hour more before you stop. That will kill about 75,000 idiots. After let's count which party's supporters are more among the dead. Any foolish man who will say they intentionally killed their stronghold youth should be beheaded immediate with the sckel used to cut horse grass. He is a fool. Declare State of emergency

GALAMSEY IS A RECIPE FOR CIVIL WAR
Let us continue to keep the wild lion called Galamsey in the cage without proper resolution to dispose of it. What we are doing is breeding an uncontrollable disaster that will turn a beautiful country into a country of juntas, jungle warfare and a zone of beastly drug barons. We should not forget that bloodshed and war have patrons who care nothing about the sanctity and value of human lives. The politician must stop playing the ostrich around such a terrible horrible enterprise which is shored up by greed and avarice. We had a painful loss of 8 people in a helicopter crash which had not been resolved yet. Last week, soldiers and NAIMOs people were attacked. This week, another attack has occured. The corrupt human nature is incorrigibly greedy. Very soon the galamseyers would form a common network with huge technological machinery and evil professionals and there would be blood bath. It is fearful what I see. Can we pinch ourselves to wake up from our sleeps?

My God!! Is that where it has come to?. This dirty game wants to take the lives of our Journalists, Soldiers and EPA staff. With God all things are possible. I wish the injured speedy recovery. Ghanaians who are involved in this galamsey will pay dearly for it because it is disgraceful way of looking for money. Are we at war or what? Jehovah God is in control. Amen

IF YOU CANNOT EXCHANGE FIRE WITH THE CIVILIANS THEN WHY DO YOU INVOLVE MILITARY IN YOUR OPERATIONS. SINCE WHEN DOES THE CIVILIANS WITH WEAPONS BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN THE MILITARY?
