ILLEGAL CONNECTION

So Americans are so sure these GITMO detainees are no threat to anyone so they ship them to Ghana. You start a prison outside of your country, keep hardcore criminals there and when you finally decide to dissolve it you choose a country with low level security to dispose them. I don’t know what agreement went on behind closed doors. I have no idea what promises were made in exchange for this but it’s just not right. Now read this quote carefully “As 2016 began, two Yemenis were released, and given new homes in Ghana, and it was widely reported that 15 other releases are in the pipeline.” www.closeguantanamo.org Maybe we are even in for more of them!

This is what Catherine Herridge from FOX News reported on the matter:
“Both of them were judged to be at least a medium risk to US security in 2007. But here is the key thing about them; they both attended the Alpha Roof training in Afghanistan. This is not a camp for boy scouts. They trained 4 of the 9/11 hijackers. So this is a hard core training camp. And then they were picked up by the United States just after the 9/11 attacks. They are going to Ghana. And here is the thing that people are missing; these countries are not taking them out of the goodness of their hearts. They are taking them because they have been promised some favor by the US. I don’t know in this case but I know in the past the Bush administration will transfer a detainee to Albania and then a senior member of the administration went to NATO and advocated on Albania’s behalf.”

The average Ghanaian who prides in hospitality would not even flinch upon hearing this news in years past. Yet in recent developments of Ghanaian University students joining ISIS and Boko Haram activities in our not so distant neighbor Nigeria this has raised genuine concerns. Terrorism is not far away news any more, it's creeping into our dear country. So whoever accepted and signed this ‘ILLEGAL CONNECTION’ you just bought us a catalyst. Something to give the world reason enough to remember our name as a destination point for terrorism. Please don’t think of yourself alone, think about the future of this very stable and peaceful country. Think about how one bad nut(two in this case) can spoil a whole cup full. Think for once about posterity, and not always about what you alone will eat today O fool!

God have mercy on us all!
