This sort of wanton violence is horrific. I often wonder why people who are struggling for the same place at the table seem to dwell in self-hatred? Why not share and accept thoughts that are different than your own?AGhttp://bkaeg.org/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-76903772489104248352009-02-24T14:11:00.000-06:002009-02-24T14:11:00.000-06:00Dr. Ohene was a participant in a US State Departme...Dr. Ohene was a participant in a US State Department sponsored program some years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. He was in training for substance abuse prevention and treatment. Such a kind and gentle man, always helping others. I visited Ghana for a follow up conference on this topic, and visited his hospital where he worked to help mentally ill people. I pray that the politics of Ghana will not go in this violent direction. My very best regards to Dr. Ohene and all of his relatives.

From oceans away, we only read of the patronizing praises written about Ghana's success in holding an election that did not devolve into chaos. Sadly missing in all the gloating is the coverage of the intimidation and real violence that occurred. I pray your uncle will make a complete recovery. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your insightful and amusing writings.Nii Djanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16653203359532192256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-74312146211390069872009-02-05T04:51:00.000-06:002009-02-05T04:51:00.000-06:00wow! it's my first time reading your blog and this...wow! it's my first time reading your blog and this just really makes me mad!

Things like this make me question whether this election truly demonstrated the ideals of an African democracy in practice and also showed Ghana's political maturity (as some have been saying) when violence and intimidation still appear to be the order of the day.Abena Serwaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888021677219851484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-57054385045576551802009-01-03T00:12:00.000-06:002009-01-03T00:12:00.000-06:00That Pre-Madonna of a coward thinks he is back...I...That Pre-Madonna of a coward thinks he is back...I am really sad about your uncle...peace ..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7618276.post-30581018114503747732009-01-01T22:26:00.000-06:002009-01-01T22:26:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry to read that, Koranteng.
