West African countries have thousands of soldiers. I wonder why they are now giving out such small numbers now that a real war is starting. They need to contribute far more than they are doing now.

When Kwaku Baako informed us about the atrocities of Kwasi Pratt during PNDC Regime, some of us did not believe until the truth was confirmed during the NRC. Kwasi Pratt is the most dangerous Journalist Ghana had ever have, he had the gut to recommend his fellow journalists to be executed by PNDC. Pratt even recommended Baako to be killed by the regime, thank God Baako was instead touchered violently and severely but his life was spared. This is what Kwasi Prat can do. Now Pratt is a secret agent to NDC and US Embassy in Ghana. May God forgive Prat and spare him the untold evils that will come upon him and his generations. The souls of those journalist killed through Pratts recommendations to PNDC will never forgive Pratt. Now Patt has the gut to take Diplomatic Passport and smuggled his weak-headed children to work at the Ministries under Mills NDC, may God forgive Pratt and his dependance and spare them of the evils ahead of them...

The issue here about kwesi pratt is irrelevant and baseless.Just contribute to the topic concerned(Ghana's intervention in Mali), but if you have nothing to offer to the topic as an old soldier, then please keep mute and hold your improper fire.I personally think that Ghana's intervention in Mali is commendable.

All of a sudden nonentities want to portray to the world how close they were to the late President.

Those who had to chat with him for one hour everyday, those Deputy Ministers who had to call him every morning before the man could even brush his teeth, and still those who would be called to the Castle by the late President to express his appreciation for job well done after they had gone to insult political opponents in the media on his behalf. Shameless id.iots raising their egos

"A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE" WITH THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN GHANA,THE WORLD SHOULD NOT LOOK ON UNCONCERNED TILL IT EXPLODES.
NDC RIGGED THE ELECTIONS.THE EVIDENCES OF THE NPP ARE SO OVERWHELMING.INSTEAD OF THE NDC BRINGING THEIR EVIDENCES TO SUBSTANTIATE THEIR CLAIM TO VICTORY,THEY RATHER WANT TO BRING 4,800 WITNESSES.TO TESTIFY FOR WHAT?
JUST BRING THE PINK/BLUE SHEETS DULY SIGNED BY ALL MANDATED PERSONNEL.IF THEY TALLY WITH THE FIGURES RELEASED BY THE EC THAT MADE YOU THE WINNER,THE WHOLE WORLD WOULD SEE.
SENDING NDC SUPPORTERS TO CAUSE MAYHEM AROUND THE EC OFFICE TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE WOULD NOT BRING THE REQUIRED PEACE.
SURPRISINGLY,NO ARRESTS WERE MADE BY THE POLICE.WHAT IF THE OTHER SIDE RETALIATES?
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY SHOULD WARN MAHAHA TO RESPECT THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS & THE RULE OF LAW.THEY SHOULD START TALKING & SEND HIGH POWERED DELEGATIONS TO MAHAMA TO STOP HIM FROM THE CONSISTENT ABUSE OF POWER.
BETTER SEND THESE PEACE KEEPERS NOW INSTEAD OF THE TYPE WE ARE SENDING TO MALI LATER TO GHANA WHEN WAR BEGINS."A STITCH IN TIME SAVES NINE"

What about the other West African Problem?
The impacts of Climate Change and variability on the nations of the sub-region?
The impact of persistent drought on Fulani pastoralists, and their transboundary threat to nations in the forest ecological zone; what is ECOWAS doing about the increasing desertification?
The perennial flooding of coastal low lying areas as a result of rising sea level?

The new Ghanaian government could take the lead and champion climate change issues. Can President Mahama and Ghanaians read your critical view point and work to make Accra, the Green capital in Africa?Tree planting or growing as Mahama would say on national occassions would help. Let each family plant ten trees for the today and the future.

Mr. Kweku Boateng Jnr So you stll don't see the senseinf the intervention of the Forces from France and the West African sub Region? It would have been worse without the intervention. Many more body bags would have arrived in the said capitals you mentioned if the cause were delayed further. Negotiation is not the issue here, as the Rebels are determined to push through Shaira Law in West Africa and if possible eventually spread it through the whole world. Remember the dictum of the fundamentalist Muslims is either you convert them or eliminate them. How does one negotiate with such people? I believe you are kind of naive in your thinking.
What Landry Signe has said is rather very reasonable. If the international community had acted swiftly a lot of the losses now being incurred would have been avoided.
And I for one, would not have left the said Captain Sanongo who led the coup to overthrow the elected Government that was preparing for a general election that was due in 4 months' time to go scot free.

It is rather unfortunate that ECOWAS leaders are sending their forces into such a vast unique, harsh desert terrain to engage such zealot phantom forces who don't subscribe to regular military formation. Our contribution is a minuscule grain in the desert, a tiny pebble in the ocean.

Are you following closely what is going on in the Sahel region up tp Guinea Bissau? Please go on the internet! Very strange comments! When fire is coming your way you are looking at who originated it before you put it out!Who was killing who in Rwanda? Foreigners come and tell you that you are superior to another tribe! That others should be marginalised! That sell drugs to wage war and terror! That others are cocroaches, etc! Please stop blaming foreigners and look inward!

Either it is pig-headed people who now lead Africa or current African leaders are partners in the Free Mason's plot to sacrifice the blood of Africans to their diabolic spirits. They have done so in the two Congos, Rwanda, Central African Republic, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Cote d'Ivoire where they continue to offer the blood of Ivorians to assuage the thirst of their spirits. Ghanaians Must know that the next target of these imperialist powers is Ghana which they had wanted to engulf in this holocaust during this year's election but could not due to the prayers of Ghanaians. After supplying soldiers to peace-keeping forces around the world why send soldiers again to Mali? Where were the French and Malian soldiers during the Liberian and Sierra Leonian wars? Why did they not send soldiers there but left Ghanaians and Nigerians to do the job? Where is the intelligence on which Ghanaians pride themselves if they dont see the hidden motives behind these wars where France experiment their uranium bombs as they did in Cote d'Ivoire? May God enlighten John Mahama and Ghanaians. Amen

Is this the only way to get your voice heard? Tell Afari Gyan to confess his electoral misdeeds and for Mahama to stop acting as though Ghanaians have elected him. This man's presidency has always come through the back door. First an elected president had to be killed for him, and then again election had to be rigged and stolen for him.

IT IS NOT A MATTER OF LAUDING IT BUT OFFERING EXPERT ADVISE ON ISSUES THAT WILL CONFRONT THE TROOPS AND SOLDIERS ON THE GROUND.

THE SITUATION THAT IS RIFE ON THE GROUND IN MALI MIGHT BE QUITE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT OUR PEACE KEEPING SOLDIERS NORMALLY FACE ON VARIOUS WAR FRONTS THEY HAVE BEEN TO INTERNATIONALLY. THE USUAL DIRECT ATTACK AND COUNTER ATTACK MAY NOT BE THE SITUATION. THE USUAL STYLE AND ROUTINE PROCEDURES OF DEALING WITH REBELS MAY NOT BE WHAT WILL BE APPLICABLE. THE SITUATION SMELLS OF TERRORIST METHODS AND STYLES IN THE WAITING ... DON'T FORGET THEY HAVE ELEMENTS OF AL-QAEDA AND THEIR IDEOLOGY AND MODE OF OPERATION. OUR SECURITY EXPERTS SHOULD READ MORE INTO THIS AND GUIDE OUR SOLDIERS ACCORDINGLY. WHAT WILL PREVAIL IN MALI WILL BE A DIFFERENT BALL GAME AND LESSONS FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND THOSE DREADED AL-QAEDA ENVIRONMENTS MUST GUIDE OUR TROOPS. (Romanus is brief here but has more to say)

This security expert is another idiot. What is Ghana's interest in sending his sons and daughters to die for the economic and imperialistic interest of France? These pseudo-intellectuals should tell us whom they actually work for. Such rubbish! Why didn't they go help Gaddaffi? Or the Congo. The crass servility of African leaders is beyond belief. All of a sudden we have come to believe our former colonialists really do care for us.

Dear brother. When your neighbour's hut is burning help him instead philisophying. There is no French interest in Mali. They are just doing the job we are unable to do. Will you be happy to have a kind of Somalia or Afghanistan in your neighborhood? Do you know which country was planned to be attacked after Mali? When you have not crossed the river do not jeer at the one who is drowning.
