Let them try it and they will see what would happen to them.
What can u do? Can u stand their fire power?
Useless talk and shameful being. I believe this is not the only person killed there. The chief must be interrogated from 1987 to date and much more killings will be revealed.
Education and communication fairness is important in whatever we do. hold meetings with the natives of the area. let them know what Soldiers are there for.
soldiers must go and wipe out chinese and foreign galamyers in our reserved forest if they have the power and sense
The mentality of the soldiers are no different from that of the mob. Stupid military, I think the govt need to provide better training for them. We can't have a military that has no brain and can't reason.
I BELIEVE YOU WERE CONCEIVED IN A GOAT PEN
Yes just as the action of those waiting at the Courthouse to Lynch the accuser: An eye for an eye? blood for blood? that's no JUSTICE at all. instant justice is no Justice at all
Well said.

Ghana soldiers are indiscipline bunch of people. Even their commanders can't be trusted to be disciplined.

WHAT ABOUT D INNOCENT PEOPLE THAT WERE FAILED BY OUR LAWS
We don't fear the soldiers. Gone were the days soldiers can do coup. Now if they try we civilians will also gang up and face them squarely.
We sympathize the plight of the Major Mahama family but wiping a whole town of our map would have been very very foolish of the soldiers.

You cannot justify killing a human being. If God was to kill us because of our sins non of us would be here. rich next time talk well. you family member could be lynched one day and you will regret your words today.
