It is the most annoying and insulting thing done to the image and dignity of the African: for such despicable open disclosures made viral on social media by a former South African operative and serviceman in a self-induced confession of being responsible with others in fomenting tribal wars around Johannesburg and Kwa-Zulu Natal in the 1980s: to poke it at faces of victims and to humiliate Africans.

It follows others in circulation about how the CIA has used its manipulative skills to stage coups d’etat in Africa to destabilise any development on the continent, and take advantage of scooping its mineral resources as was done in Iraq during Desert Storm I and II, in Libya, an currently unfolding in Iran. What is going on in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a despicable spectacle to watch.

And these cruel practices go ahead to poke fun at how Big Pharma continue to target Africa for depression and slowed economic development activities with various forms of preparations of chemicals and compounds to create diseases, sterilise and make women barren and men impotent, and introduce artificially induced diseases to affect productivity and reduce population growth by deaths, and so on and so forth.

Other indirect forms are found in recent reports of heavily-laden metals in both locally produced and imported food streams through contamination of majority of ranges of imported foods and drugs and polluted local water bodies through compromised agricultural practices and land degradation with chemical substances in illegal mining, especially helped by weakened state institutions, traditional authorities, and compromised regulatory bodies heavily exploited in recent years by Chinese and other nationals, after American and European countries continued fleecing of the continent.

Science continues to issue warnings and draw global attention to interconnectivity with one statement on effects of global warming and environmental disaster in a popular refrain, that when the last tree dies, the last man dies.

This implies that whatever is done to one side of the equation on the planet with ignoble-driven intentions to decimate and impoverish such populations, has a global effect on the entire planet through cause and effect.

Yet, US President Donald J. Trump, and his cheerleader, Lindsey Graham, together with the Republican party, have no shame with what America is disgracefully using its amassed acquired wealth through slave labour capitalisation foundations to do across the planet, following tradition from the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to recent events in Afghanistan, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Palestine, Syria, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, and so on and so forth.

For us in Ghana, we have learnt no lessons or very little of it, since 1482, when Don Diego d’Azambuja landed on the territory; and in February 24, 1966, when the CIA-backed coup d’etat derailed gains of the First Republic. Instead, we, as a country, have drawn closer by inviting not just the CIA but now working for the CIA with the physical presence of the US Peace Corps, now the biggest USA embassy located in our territory, and a military presence and security cooperation.

Apart from a nuclear reactor a poor country like Ghana gave to the USA as a gift after the February 24, 1966 coup d’etat, reports say Ghana is playing host to relocated American biolabs from Ukraine, after the February 24, 2022 Russian military demilitarisation and denazification special operations.

America could do better than not just giving refuge to a fugitive wanted in his ‘former’ country, but granting him a permanent residential status in spite of his previous record as presented by Ghana Government on State Service. The reverse would have been a disaster as has been on record with Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz of Cuba, Salvador Guillermo Allende Gossens of Chile, Josè Daniel Ortega Saaverda of Nicaragua, Manuel Antonio Noriega Moreno of Panama, Maurice Rupert Bishop of Grenada, and numerous others to catalogue in this brief.
