Folks, you are still not getting the message. In West Africa the real Opposition Party is the national Army. The govt is composed by the rich, powerful and their religious backers. Can't you see that Traore is the first effective General Secretary of the Army that is the Opposition?

Whether Russia or independent military action, CIA has been responsible for most coups which stagnated the development of Africa most independence. AES must expand to crowd out french influence and monetary influence in west Africa. That way, another step in dismantling the colonial and neocolonial structure will be complete. CFA will be no more in three years. Togo, Ivory Coast, Cameroon to follow soon.

We need to appraise the situation carefully. The recent coups in Guinea and Benin appears to be sham coups. France appears to be implementing long term military rule like they used in Togo.

Dobt you see how at the least opportunity he goes around parading in Military Uniform. Either as navy Commander, Airforce Officer or Army General. With the hat and medals to go with.

Even his first book was about a Coup. JDM does not like this civilian rule. He has the affinity of a military dictator. So dont be surprised if he attempts to change the Constitution for a 3rd term. Just as he told the NDC in 2016 thst he is dobe with poëitics only to start bribing Constituencies to be elected unopposed for the flagbearership.

Watch our for JDM. He may yet write his 2nd book on how he overthrew the Ghanaian Constitution "My 2nd Coup"!

Mahana will then say he was not allowed to compkete his 2nd Term so he should be allowed to run. The $60m new Presidential Jet is part of the plan. A lot of top Army men will have their palms greased with $5m kickback from that sale to upload the plan..

The worst civilian is better than military gov't. Most of Ghanaian youth have not experienced military gov't before so they talk by heart. Even at that time there weren't anything called social media, few private newspapers like Catholic Standard were there and it was banned. Military gov't can ban all radio, TV, newspapers except gov't own ones and online media houses. Military gov'ts are unpredictable and can do anything and everything they wish without considering the impact on the people. Let's not call for one in Ghana bcos if anything at all, you decide who should rule the country and express your anger or otherwise without looking over your shoulders. If military rules, the best you can do is to shower praises but can't criticize. These of you with sharp or slippery mouth will get lost without any trace of you. It's better to use our thumps to overthrow and install a gov't.

Galamsey is a good reason for a smart takeover in Ghana. The Military Intelligence Unit should also be gathering info on all corrupt deals by this government. The way they looted over 70 percent of money for the Saglemi Housing Project, Ridge Hospital and Komenda Sugar Factory, every big project should be monitored for possible future cough up. They should start buying quality cough syrups to speedup the recovery.
