Your Compassion Is Serving Us Notice of Terrorism, John Mahama: Part II

Ghanaians are alarmed! Ghanaians are petrified!! Ghanaians Are horrified!!! Ghanaians are yellow from the fear that has gripped the nation. You have sowed the seeds of pandemonium Mr Compassionate President, especially that recently our next door neighbour, Burkina Faso, was a victim of terrorism. People now do not only have to deal with the burdens of surviving under the circumstances of fiscal drought that your confused outfit has brought about. They are being burdened with extreme fears that cannot be assuaged by political rhetoric or cosmetic press conferences.

Ghanaians do not have to suffer your collusion with the Americans against them! The fallible utterances of a US Diplomat, Mr Daniel Fenell, made the story more suspicious. Initially, he stated that caring for those Guantanamo imports was the sole responsibility of the government of Ghana. Then he was soon made to swallow his words. He retracted and stated that it was rather the joint responsibility of both the Ghanaian and American governments. That was a clear indication of the muddled nature of the exercise, throwing dust into the eyes of helpless Ghanaians.

Worse still, Ministers like Hanna Tetteh, and the security Capos have denied been privy to the discussions regarding your Gitmo guests. So you took all the 230 million US Dollars to yourself or what? I mean, if you had paid them into the national coffers, at least we’d know that you traded our peace and security for moneys which are available for reconstruction projects that may arise from the destruction that your Gitmo friends and their accomplices can unleash on us. It was said that Kwesi Pratt confirmed that you took money from the Americans against hosting the detainees. It seems as if you are living in denial. Barack Obama broke International Laws, and you flouted our constitution. That is TREASON, Sire!

This nation is your “Boss”! You have no right to do anything on the blind side of Ghanaians, especially when it is related to the security of their existence! We instruct you to immediately regurgitate the money given you, and export those two characters back to the USA. Why should the Americans create the irony of refusing them legal status on the land of the free? Why has their country refused to take them in? Why don’t the Americans send them back to where they were arrested from? We can barely survive your uncompassionate rule. We cannot deal with the fear that you are coupling your incompetency with. Besides, initially, the Guantanamo Bay celebrity terrorists were supposed to be women, so how come you received men rather? Or was it arranged by Andrew Solomon? Have they had gender reassignment surgeries to become men or what?

What are you doing? Do you loathe this nation so much? You wouldn’t do that even to your enemies! What are you doing to us? Bad governance, insouciance, misplaced priorities like giving Madam Akua Donkor GHs5000 (five thousand Ghana Cedis) monthly as fuel allowance allegedly, and now fear!!! My GOD, what have we done wrong? Parents are agitated because they do not know what hell will be unleashed on the nation with the advent of perceived terrorists in our midst. Snippets of information indicate that people are abandoning their properties in the vicinities of the abodes of your Gitmo friends. Didn’t you realise that according them luxury accommodation in plush neighbourhoods was wasteful? Please confine them to the Flagstaff House near you, and under the watchful eyes of the Presidential guards that are rotated monthly in expensive parades.

Let me state that I am sick and tired of hearing the term “Islamic Terrorists”! There is nothing Islamic about a terrorist who uses the camouflage of religion to perpetrate heinous crimes. No devout Muslim, knowledgeable in the teachings of this religion of peace would be involved in terrorising innocent souls, even if they belonged to supposed enemy states. More innocent Muslims were killed by so-called Islamic terrorists than victims from other religions put together. Muslims have suffered on two fronts, slain by Islamically labelled murderers, and persecuted by nations purportedly fighting terrorism.

Then you have the audacity to indulge in the treasonable act of throwing the nation into a state of fear, pandemonium, and uncertainty. It would seem as if your outfit has a very spiteful programme for Ghanaians. The suspicion that you might use these Guantanamo Celebrity Ex-detainees to unleash on the country confusion prior, during, and post elections seems quite plausible. Or maybe their presence in the country is a mere alibi for your treasonable caprices!

We are now a nation of confused and indignant citizens. You’ve got only ten months in office, inshallah; wouldn’t it be more prudent to use the time to cleanse your image somewhat? Ghana shall remain peaceful, and Ghanaians shall be at peace with themselves because we shall arise for change at the polls.

You know what, just resign, Sir! Just resign and spare us the tragedy of your nefarious activities!!!
