Watch out for idiotic MUMBI SERAKI aka "Pain-in-the-Ass" who might soon be here to showcase his sick mentality.
Good riddance. Rawlings' coup was the coup to end all coups.
Some dark days in our history that the youth of today can't comprehend. Real bad days that should not happen again
@Benji, which rawlings' coup, the one he attempted and failed or the one he disgracefully handed over power to take back in '82 to give him a bit of face? You dummies are damned ignorant.
WO KE KA KEKA NKWASIASEM
The coup was staged on 4th June. The eight officers were executed on the 12th and 22nd days after the coup (too short for proper trials). These men were simply executed because of the fear that if they were left there woud ha ...

47yrs after their cruel assassination can we say it was a justifiable decision? If a similar Coup Detat shd happen today the entire Cabinet of Mahama govt will be killed including the President himself.
This is symptoms of 38% pain. Sorry about that. I wish u speedy recovery
The Akans have an adage they say when they are constructing a road and it doesn't affect your building you will say the road is a straight one.Wait till there is another Coup Detat which attacks a particular Tribe.
Under the AFRC the murdered officers included north, Volta, and Akan regions. Under PNDC more young soldiers from the north were murdered. The list is too long to publish.
