    For me Rawlings has absolutely no moral right to pontificate on any moral or social issues, the evil deeds are much too many he indeed is a con man

    I don't consider myself as a victim as I didn't drop accidentally into what happened but through choice. I consider all what happened as the price I have to pay for my choice to be a revolutionary.

      Explo Nani-Kofi sorry to hear about what you went through for the path you took at a point in your lifetime. Some of us have been so bitter about the illegal regime called( PNDC) till date. Am still waiting in anticipation for the day our laws will revisit the period between 31 December 1981 to January 7 1993. I always think, that era must not be swept under the carpet. ( A GANG OF ARMED ROBBERS (PNDC) TOOK UP ARMS AND OVERTHREW A CONSTITUTIONALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY OUR LAWS TILL DATE 2018? hmmmm

    What is happening to me now? I was quite active with Socialist Students Movement activity in Czechoslovakia up to 1989 when I came to UK. In UK, I am active with the anti-imperialist, peace and anti-austerity movement which has propelled Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party of Britain. I am a member of Counterfire in UK. At present he is a grass root organizer organizing street parliaments as a way of ordinary people being involved in decision making or expressing their views. I am at present constituency joint chairman of South Dayi electoral alliance of the Progressive People's Party (PPP) and Convention People's Party (CPP) as the only constituency with a functioning and formal Pro-Nkrumah electoral alliance.

      No doubt about that. Because if not because of his colour, Rawlings should have been killed long time ago after failing the 15th May 1979 coup

    With Rawlings not appearing in the region, I meant the regional capital, Ho, where he never appeared until I was arrested and detained.
