[00:00:00]Kumasi and Ashante regant could easily be a county. The Daga kingdom could easily be a county should have been part of the Ashanti nation.

[00:00:14]Should have been part of the nation that kind of relations another history to deal with. Do you get >> but for colonialism there would be no Ghana. In fact it is most likely that Ashanti would have conquered the rest of Ghana. They they had was the British that stopped them. Ashanti region which is a kingdom till today because Ashanti nation Swazerland we have had very wise who have not created a problem but if you get an asant who is troublesome you can create problem >> if the overlord of the Ashanti nation is not moving the particular it is not possible You must first know is not possible terms in the kingship.

[00:01:13]They were fighting. They were not fighting for the entire they were fighting for nation.

[00:01:21]Okay. So be it inbuilt in South Africa inside South Africa to apply for independence.

[00:01:30]You must have a certain big community, a certain background that all the people support the highest economic pool of the country of western region today.

[00:01:52]This is our react to the potential country. Now for context, this was him some time ago reacted to the western and I found this video relevant and interesting because of this week the professor statement different angles as to whether they shanties any statement was the fact that point the tendency to succeed away from Ghana and according to professor that is the reason why Ghana decentralized in terms of development all those technicalities in issues.

[00:03:03]Okay.

[00:03:07]There are people because they feel like they have the tendency to break away.

[00:03:17]And that was the interpretation according to according to the break or the potential for any group when the western issue came to qualify to be a group issu.

[00:03:42]only what is the kingdom, the gas state andobi and all that. But then to break away and form an independent country even within the Ghana, even within this country it's always been there.

[00:04:17]It takes one troublesome to make the Asanti a whole nation on it.

[00:04:26]Indeed.

[00:04:38]Easy because they have the numbers. They are united wellinated groupify not really causing that trouble.

[00:05:05]all the qualifications qualify group the western they don't really meet it however the kingdom some other kingdom and that will give you the details and the history it is easy to make country.

[00:05:37]The Ashanti Kingdom is still a kingdom and the potential is still there. It only takes one interesting because of where it is coming from as in boys.

[00:06:04]necessarily a securityreat but the English, French and the Americans as them So at that time Ghana there was no existence of any country called Ghana.

[00:06:40]>> Yeah.

[00:06:41]>> Do you understand? So pap didn't have any agreement with Ghana.

[00:06:46]At that time there was even call it Gokos.

[00:06:50]>> Gokos was not call it a country to that extent but it was a British overseas territory.

[00:06:56]>> Okay.

[00:06:57]>> Do you understand?

[00:06:59]leading to that 1945 leading from 45 after the independent British then the British didn't want to go all the Ghanaian politicians at that time stimulation of Ghana independence around 54 There was some election political science students 1956 >> when it was very clear which at that time elections I go It was states Ghana the regions state it was a state. Do you understand me?

[00:08:07]Okay.

[00:08:08]>> Awapim the 17 times making the nation.

[00:08:11]It was a state and then the Ashanti nation or the Ashanti kingdom all these groupings.

[00:08:29]Welcome to join to join the Republic of Ghana.

[00:08:39]One, what went into the thinking of the Ghanaian politicians at that time? The political class.

[00:08:50]So they wanted to face out the name Gokus.

[00:08:54]>> Okay.

[00:08:54]>> Normal for Ghana and the name Ghana.

[00:09:05]Okay. Okay. Which the capital was more or less the region Ghana as a name historically whichever what induced their mind not the empire perm and the Ghana as a region like Ashanti region is still existing in Moritania today as we speak.

[00:09:32]diplomatic relations.

[00:09:37]Now Papvi and the group are talking and speaking about the history of 1956.

[00:09:44]1956 you know when they were joining Ghana a Republican leading to 60 Republican there were elections referendum that was made and that elections the whole votion all the way all the reg they all voted to be part of Ghana except two towns Ho and okay, they were the two that abstained but at the end of the day majority so all of them decided to join and form the republic of Ghana Ashanti region which is a kingdom till today because a certain certain nation Botswana it was created it was part of South Africa but kingdom no we don't want to be part of we want our country and even we speak our language we will not speak your English if we speak English we make it a subject and English will be listen our official language day today do you understand me Now that time no the western tooland it is not different from western region.

[00:11:14]It is not different from eastern region.

[00:11:16]It is not different from northern region. It is not different from upper east. It is not different from upper west. It was a name of a region. But then the people claim or they believe say Germans had lived there and then there was an agreement say there will be a western. It was just like an agreement. They were fighting they were not fighting for the entire they were fighting for shanti nation.

[00:11:48]Okay. So be it. Swasaland inbuilt in South Africa or inside South Africa still no landlock. blocked.

[00:12:19]>> Okay.

[00:12:23]Why is the kingship could have done that state could have done that state could have done that but they didn't now secessionist >> I'm here to say anything called secessionist West Africa and Ghana because historically 19 1844 Nigeria which was so huge it has always been huge the the Bafra people the Euroba and the houses and the EOS were three not thanks But welcome to okay part of the consultative listening one United Republic at that time the secessionist group the western tool whom any agreement to that extent say during that time and at a certain point in time they have to also declare as a country let it even be that if there is their thinking you've been part of a block of a new nation called Ghana that took their right the sovereignty right sovereign nation from the British colonial rule out of the British territorial overseas territories First president, first Ghana election.

[00:14:34]Yes.

[00:14:35]From the time of his excellency the former the late president Ghana almost about 14 presidents and chroma are you getting me? and head of seats and presidents and chroma and fifer.

[00:15:15]part two times are you getting me that longer rule of 19 years presidents mills one president mama in between all this chain. But interestingly no, we've had a president who ruled Ghana the longest more than any other Ghanaian president in the name of his excellency President George Rollins years popular party his excellency John Rollins or whatever the mother was that was a funny I remember the lawyer Joe Rend at that time in the early '90s 9792 also the ruling was that the man wore Ghanaian military uniform if he had died at that time he would have been buried as a Ghanaian with a flag So not at this time do you understand me? So his excellency Rollins did not give any land. Now a secessionist let the public understand what is the meaning of secessionist that this is a country or this is a piece of land Kofi's house. I'm succeeding I'm taking part as mine. Now how do you take the part on what partner.

[00:17:16]for country. First and foremost in a form of movement form of movement political party you force your way and go to the parliament to set their Sudan for they fought with and they had their members in the Sudan parliament still they were in parliament pushing the agenda through our infancy member of parliament.

[00:17:58]What the regional region even for the agenda those kind of things for the balance of quote unquote development that could have been a very good deal Ghana United we are asking you say what is the consultation the votarians the greater vot you can't just get up 200 men and women greater part up to because the western tool is just like western region I area upper voter east, upper million people that forms part of the western tooland you are talking in terms of the region or how it was called then but they've not forgotten say it is a republic of Ghana which they themselves have saluted Ghana flag voted from that time till today so if you want that region Have you done consultations? Because the vot ethnic backgrounds are getting meal.

[00:20:00]Are you getting me?

[00:20:08]those areas minority tribes the people the community himself is living in Jasai.

[00:20:31]Have you asked the people of one to apply for independence?

[00:20:48]You must have a certain big community, a certain background. Tell all the people to explain the four ways to apply.

[00:21:20]region prime mission is there. Secondly, a certain economic mission. The economic mission consideration economic consideration is gold, diamond.

[00:21:40]So we are talking about and for that reason was third spillover effect. The spillover effect is a spill spillover effect.

[00:22:06]Okay. The last one because because of government's intimidation, okay, >> most people can't come out. Let's notice this very well.

[00:22:26]The spillover effect should have coincided with the prime mission.

[00:22:30]Okay? And we've not heard let's let's educate ourselves here.

[00:22:37]We've not heard before effect.

[00:23:05]It is not like that. The whole thing is now Because if even you looking at the historical background should have been part of the Ashanti nation.

[00:23:32]>> Okay.

[00:23:35]>> You should have been part of the nation that kind of relations another history to deal with. Do you get it?

[00:23:42]>> Okay.

[00:23:43]land part of the western area from land former president of Ghana Rollins.

[00:24:15]Now let's come back to the traditional settings. The traditional scattered in different towns one grouping. So the UN will take cognizance look at settings geographical settings map geography in terms of GH region I've said it and I maintain I will say it again sir and say the country the country's resources that is a big deal why because About 60% of the Ghana national income comes from the western region. But I'm sorry to say the Ghana deprived foolish schools.

[00:25:16]They don't take care of them. People walk 15 km to school in the western region. Meanwhile, gold diamond everything that Ghana has western region.

[00:25:31]Yet you can say the highest economic pool of the country or western region yet nation kingdom till today and then and then and and then sack people from their community. That would have been a big deal because economic power in terms of Ghana national income the French and the English but they agreed and gave it to them. So people from cannot get up and say weans country now is gone underground. Why a collection of boys?

[00:27:00]Okay.

[00:27:05]They can look for him.

[00:27:10]But the point is as I said and I was one among the lot the first if not anything to mention say anything that you call it negotiations in terms of somebody declare or secessionist it will backfire and it will backfire on the face of the government and the country republic at large and the entirety and the whole Ghana. You don't do that because assembly house police station post office independence we declare independence at the time we declare independence insurance health certificate certificate local authority primary schools gss free >> you enjoy free SHS. So if you want to declare part of a country the best thing that you do you have to render yourself stateless drop your passport drop your citizenship as a holding area your voices could be heard The media attention of your mission spill over effection existing today and the past inland of today there is no case that has been brought to the world media platform like it happened in South Sudan like it happened in Namibia. Like it happened in Mozambique when Mozani wanted to have independent. This one independent.

[00:29:43]The people who were fighting for the independent led by Julius Inu, Samura Masher, are you getting me? And then Eduardo Mlain. Eduardo Mlin, Samura Masher, Julius Inu. They have to leave Mozambi and stateless render themselves stateless.

[00:30:07]Julius of Tanzania Tanzanian passport created the movement of what limo. Okay.

[00:30:20]Okay. The movement of liberation.

[00:30:24]The same thing Angola Angola for pay independence 1975.

[00:30:30]The same thing the same you form a movement outside the country.

[00:30:44]Now electricity ID card ID Do do you get the point?

[00:31:18]>> But so I can't talk for two hours without chocolate. What are you talking about?

[00:31:23]You know my addiction. I'm sorry.

[00:31:30]So district which I have advised on air and I advise again sir pap all what he needed to do application for secession let me show you how it was we get they send messages. Come and speak on it. No, a very dicey topic and people don't understand it. I understand I have to share. That is why I said say okay let us all deliberate.

[00:32:20]Papa should write to the metropolitan chief executive of the region MC region minister of the votion group of white people of interior because interior issue minister of interior not National Security Coordinating Council Security issue, Parliamentary Committee on Interior. It goes to the Parliament level existency, the president's president at the presidency. So the process of MCE ministerial minister national security parliament committee on interior president Ghana president is not on his own what on the sub region and in the sub region whereas 17 member country or a founding member Nigeria which is the host of the Abuja.

[00:34:07]When Abuja picks up then Abuja takes it to where the bigger block on the continent is the African Union African Union. Now listen to this African Union GI there's another level which is the ACP African Caribbean Pacific which is 89 against the 53 54 55 nations of African are the process now you have to bring it to the UN representative or what the region and pap luckily enough for you the United Nations representative for West Africa we call the unwas nobody else than ambassador Ibin Chambers or a Ghanian UN representative for the whole of East Africa.

[00:35:04]Do you understand the United Nations General Assembly, UN Security Council, spokesperson as we speak now, UN is discussing about it's not like that President the Ghana population of 330 million sat down one day on 7th December as we are going to do now and you vote to his excellency the president of republic of Ghana leave his policies leave his performance leave everything aside 30 million voted one president 200 people cannot tell instruct we've invited the president to come for us to sit down please and please for once again I'll be motion here banana republic government of Cuba government of Cuba republic elected President when his excellency President Rollins was there, did he ever through that challenge?

[00:36:43]In any case, bedroom inviting at a statutory state certified facility but facility Ghana facility into who is inviting who.

[00:37:15]It is not the case.

[00:37:37]Freedom and justice.

[00:37:50]bedroom. So what I'm saying is it will be dangerous, very suicidal, inappropriate, undiplomatic and very very very low belt. low belt for a pro a republic of Ghana and when I say republic of Ghana including you and I the president is just one person to go and sit down with a group with a group say we are discussing about a territory he's never done anywhere the highest should have been the minister of interior the highest should have been the regional minister >> interior minister military police in the first place.

[00:38:52]The world and Africa have seen a lot of militant groups that are all criminals.

[00:39:00]Militant groups. And I've said and I'll say it once again to the best of my knowledge and the knowledge of world Ghana is not short of diplomacy. Ghana had been an instrumental country that has fought for independence for several countries on the continent of Africa out of which sabotage economy because we were pushing too much when we were given the independence. Ghana pushed the first French country in the sub region to get independent was Guinea. When Ghana got independence in 1957 1958 Mali Mali was part and Mali was Republic of Sudan one country called Republic of Sudan. It was Ghana who was around 58 59 Alliance of the Republic ofudi Ghana Guinea Mali. Yeah.

[00:40:18]>> The only thing that was the difference was the language, but we had them so close to us.

[00:40:26]Ghana independent. We push a whole almighty Nigeria to get independence 3 years after we gain independence. And Ghana went all the way down to Tanzania.

[00:40:36]Ghana went all the way down to Kenya and other countries to fight for their independence. And when you are talking about diplomacy on the continent of Africa, country.

[00:40:51]It is one of the most respected countries and I've said it sir not even the president of Ghana the leaders and the presidents they don't say it so the history the interest of the international community it's not easy for Americans to bring high command of West Africa is Ghana You know why all the western countries embellction international community secret service any you don't have an idea tell them I told you now let's go to Nigeria boo haram boo haram formed in 2002 had never ever said a state the might the strong the strength militants separatist Separatist in terms separating from a community in 2002 Abu Bak Muhammad Muhammad Abu Shakaw who is today booh haram's leader for booham militants Because join also 2002 was I'm talking about the negotiations.

[00:43:30]So they use that money and started to blackmail and extort the mall.

[00:43:50]militant criminal organization organization army.

[00:44:10]Yousef 2009 militant the lake states the lake region northern east part of Nigeria Bono State Cameroon North with a terrible topography of the geographical settings.

[00:45:02]Now a lot of this group declared wanted bless a lot of former presidents arms Youth leader in Belgium as we speak now.

[00:46:00]Who would have been another?

[00:46:10]What I say service Ghana hasn't got any form of those things. our secret service I mean peaceful country we are united we religious issues Muslim and Christian it has never been a problem for a Ghanaian Can we see your identity card?

[00:47:19]People have been speaking about the security lapses leading to this.

[00:47:32]Because first, Ghana, >> you missions.

[00:47:55]Listen to me carefully. UN missions, combat missions, Ghana police sergeant where you're stronger and faster than Indian general Sudhana mission, Ghana police sergeants, inspectors troops.

[00:48:20]We have strong police.

[00:48:22]We have strong police. But let me just say I'm quick to see mention 100% security coverage in any part of the world.

[00:48:33]Not even Isra.

[00:48:38]The most sophisticated security setup would have been the intelligence setup is the Israeli because of where they find themselves within the Arabs.

[00:48:50]They are very fast. The K9 and the criminal police system of the Germans, the Dutch efficient police, the Scotland Yard of the UK. And yet, United Kingdom Abuntin, they had a rebel, Sinfen, Jerry Adams. It was a terrorist group. It was a movement on the soil of Queen Elizabeth.

[00:49:16]Russia they have churchian rebels today as Aaban Armenia Ukraine Afghanistan they all created rebellionist fight groupia Now in between in the legs in the nose of pal Pakistani military high command security is there but over complacency and talking about your security awareness kofi let's be very frank Ghana population of 300 3 million 30 million your security the police they are not more than 15,000 I stand to be corrected but I think that is the number divide 15,000 by 30 million one police coverage police Ghana police,000 the whole country.

[00:50:54]Now there were intelligence on the ground which is the Bureau of National Intelligence BNI OMA coordinated by national security regional security regive national security supported national DI defense intelligence military intelligence the MIG customs and Ghana prison service customs presidential protection force we are not short of intelligence and what it is on the ground that is Insecurity, you do a multiplying factor.

[00:51:57]Multiplying factor you are running into 1 million 1 million people assemble.

[00:52:28]movement.

[00:52:30]That is where I have my beef. But the reality is also that.

[00:52:42]Thank you.

[00:53:00]Yeah, just to disorganize you.

[00:53:16]Listen to me. Can you can't you sayordinated on your blind side?

[00:53:25]>> So it's coordinated.

[00:53:27]Mhm.

[00:53:28]>> It is not different from security cannot be everywhere but security should be everywhere. Listen to me. Security cannot be everywhere at any given time. But security should be everywhere. Meaning said the intelligence report or the intelligence picking was weak. But not that argument which I'll come and descend heavily on politicians ignorant police station and Ghana police are trained unlike French. the French police different story.

[00:54:23]He would have shut them down police and the intelligent and the clever thing to do looking at that station.

[00:54:52]Can somebody sit there and say the police was weak? They were weak. Say the gadgets that should be used to call for reinforcement reinforcement that one you can talk about weaknesses.

[00:55:13]They moved under the darkness. I will not hold brief for the police but the police at that time because of the country security profile as what flashoint security profile Flash point. Pay much attention.

[00:55:51]My problem is the time you up.

[00:56:05]But the whole genesis from the time as country flag republic of Ghana it's only the military installations where in the evening they are closing they lower the flag that is a routine country The flag in this world goes with colors.

[00:56:38]The colors have names. The meaning of every color.

[00:56:45]Green vegetation and the nature and the forest. Red in the blood of our forefathers.

[00:56:56]Yellow minerals. Yeah. Minerals gold and then the sunshine. Okay. What?

[00:57:03]Mhm.

[00:57:12]Now every country in this world that makes it a treasonable offense >> related to subvention related to more or less like an attempted the loss of the land.

[00:57:38]That was when the country should have taken action that it deserves because at that time >> no but taking action treason offense serious life at that time intelligence lapses canopy That one was a beef.

[00:58:39]You charge them and build them.

[00:58:48]Now back to the negotiations. If you sit down, what is the terms of reference?

[00:58:58]Negotiating on what? Negotiating on the river ba? negotiating on the Ghana the highway bridge.

[00:59:11]So how do you that is what I'm saying million stretch government by elections by voting Canada in the mid '90s at that time was a French president, a prime minister French prime minister of Canada from Cub. What happened?

[01:00:00]The superpowers were behind. Whilst the UK was fighting for Canada as in Ontario or Canada Otawa government, the France was strongly backing the Cub and you can talk about all the four forms.

[01:00:13]The spillover effect could be there. The prime mission it was there. economic interest was there and the media attention had always been there over the cube and they qualify for any of the four they call for a referendum if you're interesting referendum one humanity the two so even tells you the words Canada there was even a a divide but they didn't want to separate the country It is not coming again. At that time the prime minister was a French.

[01:00:57]If you look at this, there's nothing the original demarcation in terms of the name agreement agreement because German for couldn't have given you agreement because they themselves were forced to go out.

[01:01:23]The English and the superpowers did not allow them to colonize Cameroon. The same way English Germans free Cameroon south and then the the west southwest northwest and the eastern part French Germans moved again to Namibia for several years. They couldn't colonize Nigeria Namibia because the overseas territory occupy equals to Germany Argentina they couldn't colonize Argentina they didn't allow them to have a colony plus Italy Italian Africa because they were part of the ASIS power second world war to support Germany Ethiopia and that is what we call the battle of they couldn't. So two countries and tell me where Japan at that time strong nation Japan China in Africa because the western allies did not allow power nation including Germany to have a colony history today I'm telling Germany part of the world the greater Volarian areas they don't recognize that western tooland and I'm saying historically only and voted but when Majority you never voted for and I'm saying people that have succeeded in getting independence for their countries they form a polit political movement not you don't take arms look at South Sudan's story John Garang was branded rebel leader by Omar Bashi government of Sudan stimulating the world attention recognition missions what took place was that What sounded like what took place was that? What took place was that John Vice President Sudan government of Sudan summit as a vice president for so many years as a rebel leader to bring the country back to their knees and the South Sudan people leaders and started to cry aloud to the African Union and when the voice became very electrifying the government has no right and international community Nations because they have the numbers to form a nation Now, how can you take 200 people, 80 people?

[01:05:54]Mhm.

[01:05:56]47 independent government house. Mhm. Presidency assembly hall.

[01:06:16]>> Yeah. The soil and the land and the property of Ghana.

[01:06:27]He didn't try.

[01:06:30]The history beckons Ghana to the extent sir countries have rather relied on Ghana including almighty Nigeria.

[01:06:40]>> Mhm. Ghana has not severed her citizenship, but admittedly Ghana economically politics politicians like I said but that does not mean government of Ghana any group of persons individuals be negotiating over a particular land.

[01:07:07]Ghana land is non-negotiable.

[01:07:09]Okay. Okay. the four corners of Ghana.

[01:07:12]It is not negotiable because the last territory Justin was the side the upper voter and cleverly in the 80s because the name they didn't want because upper voter was still Ghana because Ghana had the voter and They didn't want that vote. So one day just only to move out of the anything that relates to Ghana.

[01:08:03]It's not been fine.

[01:08:07]They politician from the region at this time today. I'll be very liberal I won't mention names politician this is the wellcoordinated attack in the whole of sub region in the whole west Africa this is the first coordinated attack university professor security endowed highly brainy securityist group in anywhere because the people say of the delta and south south of Nigeria they were not secessionist was a vigilante group.

[01:08:50]And that one happened during the timer 1992 or 1994 elections in Nigeria between Mash Abdulah transfer power into civilian. What that election won landslide who is from a Euroba land. So Abdula won the election and then in no time no about 3 months the election results was not declared.

[01:09:26]The election electoral commissioner was hanging on. There was a political situation. There was a political gap and no sp there was a space. No president.

[01:09:39]So when power the people were in support of Abula got angry and then they say said no the land cannot still be controlling the delta and the oil of Nigeria south from land.

[01:10:02]So they defected into the bush, kidnappings, extortion, central government and the installations of Delta.

[01:10:24]And with that life imprisonment any country. No, political speech is very dangerous. It's free of charge. It's just like when you're dreaming. You don't pay for it.

[01:11:08]But the price of political speech is very expensive. One Mr. They know the politicians.

[01:11:19]We don't talk like that.

[01:11:21]You don't whip up the public sentiments in a negative way.

[01:11:43]woman that Ghana wants to know and we want to know the people sponsoring. We wouldn't spend much and then enough of any other hospitals we need money for those things.

[01:12:05]joint military operations.

[01:12:14]Just something that I call it avoidable.

[01:12:18]It is unavoidable and needless exercise.

[01:12:28]Do you understand? But that should not be the case.

[01:12:36]we call it unjustified report unconfirmed but when issue comes like that politician should be or they would like to be on the microphone they want to say something but at the end of the day no what I'm saying is Ghana military Ghana police when they are aware of the mentality and then the ideological mentality of group when their their presence is at the place and whoever says they cannot move and they cannot act.

[01:13:08]Ghana military. This is not a contingent or group of people.

[01:13:16]It does not mean weak. Do you understand?

[01:13:29]How many of them were there? And then plus 35 prisoners prisoners tomatoes tomatoes.

[01:13:50]way politicians they open and allowation.

[01:14:01]Yeah. Because like I'm saying they were outnumbered. The police were outnumbered.

[01:14:06]>> Okay. Quickly on this take on it. Some see it as some also see it as oh somehow you take it that is not the time Yeah.

[01:14:50]So loud for me. I don't really look at it anything harmful.

[01:15:01]>> I don't see it as a plus plus Kumasi and Ashanti region a unique case unique case if the overlord of the Ashanti nation is not moving the Ashanti particularly it is not possible.

[01:15:24]You must first overthrow the king which they know is not possible.

[01:15:31]So you be empty. Do you understand modern day terms and there have been several terms of them is nothing.

[01:15:40]Sometimes it's just irritating they use it and then in the context within which they use for me I mean it's a young boys young girls is their time is their generation another thing will come but let's take it as one of them this is not a presence for any territory country GH police and military still it is a kind of but it doesn't p any security threat the security threat if you look at the region of the north minority tribes minority tribesh are you getting me within era in the early 90s escalation cannot be there so we don't have spill over the country is solidly united and we voted and we all arranged and had a referendum to become part of the republic and a block declared independent have a republic of Ghana and they should also know sir where people get confused it is not People's Republic of Ghana. If it is People's Republic of Ghana, it could be a certain unit, a certain class, a certain region, very few people like People's Republic of China, like Republic of Taiwan, China, Republic of Ghana, not People's Republic of Ghana. So you cannot secede any part of Ghana landful, they cannot get it. Ghana should treat it as a criminal case, not anything as a political case.

[01:18:22]only regionally So aside these factors they don't really qualify but then shanties a few tribes which includes the same professor these are the tribes potential they have the capacity they have the requirements they meet all the conditions But they not doing so because the Ashanti Kingdom leader, the head, the traditional leader, the head of it Ghana if we are talking about marginalization even greater.

[01:19:38]Yeah, of course. Apart from if you set aside the air capital the people are bu the old >> the book home the Jamestown the tourse >> and you have a certain castle have you not seen area is that a country 57 years independence at that time the highest economic pool of the country is not in the VA region. A western region, cocoa, greater western region, oil, western region, gold, western region, a lot of Ghanian wealth.

[01:20:27]Are they speaking about ethnicity in terms of what? Ethnic marginalization.

[01:20:34]Have they shared cities part of country development regions?

[01:20:51]Now the question is that we look at the involvement of the people in the community and the region in question say are they in support or not? Here is the case engagement. Yes.

[01:21:06]they are going to give you what is called extremist lines. What do we want?

[01:21:16]And I'm saying sir that is not the first time some of these things happen in a country but Ghana as one of the top diplomatic laws on the continent of African international community. We have until today the region whereas West Africa the United Nations representative Ghanian the East Africa the United Nations representative Ghanian Champas and then respectively >> and this is a country we've engaged in supporting and helping other countries even to gain independence and we haven't and we are not using brute force this is a country I think my brother and all of us are aware the flag of of >> Yes, we'll show that video very soon.

[01:22:09]Independence on the country.

[01:22:17]The problem here is that say HS home homestead group foundation >> it's comic because if it is a foundation meaning it has been established on the earth on the soil of Ghana registry general department even it is already an abandoned and also aband land group on arrival. These were the things because HSGF registry department recognizes the registration of a certain foundation that one alone HSGF there will be another group from the west PSF group. Are we also to go and engage or to go and negotiate in any case?

[01:23:23]They keep on talking about ethnic.

[01:23:26]So um hold on.

[01:23:31]Yes.

[01:23:33]Ghana flag.

[01:23:51]way president should come and sit down with them and negotiate.

[01:24:01]Yes, Ghana government will come. The president of the republicot lines.

[01:24:12]But the point is that and I will still insist if the people in the voter region are in support then what some of us or some of our brothers are speaking can hold if the entire voter region are not majority of the we should see the group as criminal group rather than to see them as a movement. They haven't identified themselves as political movement.

[01:24:40]Neither have they identified themselves political groups agenda. Some of the countries have also done that.

[01:25:16]claimed flag. There should have been a declared president.

[01:25:32]at the time.

[01:25:37]Neutralize the wealth and the properties of the country. Give your identity cast down. Neutralize your identity. Ceases to be be a citizen of Ghana.

[01:25:49]>> Cases to you the Ghana currency Ghana. Then we are now talking about dialogue. We're talking about negotiations. Now we are talking about your friend discussions.

[01:26:07]Sorry.

[01:26:12]Let us not we should be very careful.

[01:26:14]Say security for me what is happening it is a breakdown of security friend network. the lapses, the security lapses lead up to where we are now because Greater Ghana had never said and none you can only rebellion or terrorism rebel or terrorist then you are going to force the people to come with you and I don't think that is what the people in Bandai the people in Raa or the people in Kachi or the people in aos That is what they are telling these people and said that's what we want in negotiating discussions dialogue.

[01:27:00]Ghana is not short of >> Would you also agree to another school of thought because this thing started 14th September 1992 in the fourth republic.

[01:27:11]That is where they started this whole thing.

[01:27:22]Yes, agreeably.

[01:27:24]The security must hold the people before arrival because anything that involves bothers if you allow say they were able to infiltrate and come into the city high road. Well, let us look at it from at this point. I don't want to use the words a well rehearsed coordinated attack that one I will not in all fairness because they also well rehearsed and coordinated.

[01:27:59]>> So this is also well coordinated.

[01:28:02]So in terms of politicians and then security men of state start talking said this is it in secessionist and the whole of West Africa making mention of the Agoni people and the delta niga for them there was a clear distinction and a clear went underground after the 193 elections between and when the cleverly knew when they did that arms oil about any delta about 60% 70% of the And if you go to land is very up to people most of them they in jail in Nigeria serving jail sentence ooni didn't say so opp let us get the distinction right didn't talk of a country they raised arms they created what is called niga delta militancy and if it is a militancy they are just only there out there to do banditry terrorism jihadism whatever that was a militant there's a difference between militants and then militant >> I'm not cutting short I did mention a lot of issue that has happened not only I mentioned the >> no no I'm just afra also you look at also the south south and the bigger greater Nigeria south at that time the blocks were too divided there fronters and barriers between the houses, the Euroba and then the the the IU. So that one you can understand. The Bafra war was created by even the governor time by the time of the British that was when the Bafra war was arranged when there was an attempt Nigeria into three because the country that is also because look at Bafra now look at the the coverage and the population there were more than they more than 1700 million and in that case there was a there's a case but we are talking about a small pocket of about 200 people only one town Greater Ghana and the greater voter region are there in support you call for referendum secessionist you call for referendum region when we know the voter region population of Ghana around 2.53 million the whole vot Ghana be the case out there.

[01:31:23]It is a complete criminal offense than calling for secession.
