On June 4, 1979, one Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings was sprung from his sweltering jail cell to lead a coup by the other ranks of the Ghanaian army. This coup turned out to be a pacesetter event that reverberated throughout West Africa.
This event, known as the June 4th Revolution in Ghana or June 4th Uprising was sparked when the then Supreme Military Council (SMC II) of General Fred Akuffo put flight-Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings on public trial for attempting to overthrow the government on May 15th 1979….
The revolution itself and Rawlings' failed mutiny on 15 May, was a culmination of the turbulent period 1972 to 1979, which will definitely go down into history as the most traumatic, the most dramatic and the most tragic period in the history of Ghana.
It was a period which saw events moving with the force of a hurricane, devastating and consuming everything in the way and leaving behind nothing but economic stagnation and bankruptcy and decadence and moral degeneration and decay.
In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the story of the events pertaining to Ghana’s famous 4 June Revolution of 1979.

Why are people so wicked and self-centered?? 😥😥😭 Really respected this Rawlings... My Mom, a Nigerian, told me of the history, what he did for Ghana. How Ghanaians fled to Nigeria and other countries during Ghana's economic downturn caused by the corrupt leaders. Nigeria was still having better economy at that time. But it's so painful that Nigeria later turned the same as corrupt leaders continued to evolve and increase also in Nigeria. I weep for many black nations as we have not seen our people and our nations as priority. "We do not have the oath of loyalty and Patriotism." I wish our generation and the coming one will do something about these, like Rawlings did. Respects to that man Rawlings. Was because of his name I clicked on this video. His name rings positively anytime I heard or see it. 😥

But I am super interested in African history and that led to visit multiple countries on your beautiful continent! I am super grateful for your videos! You are my go to channel on everything Africa.

There were old African Empires who used to trade with the Arabs from North Africa in the Gold and salt trade. This interaction brought about the islamization of the Sub Sahara areas. Africans who fled Islamic persecution fled and settled along the west African coast until they came into contact with the Europeans after 1470s. The Europeans partition Africa among themselves

I am from the Ghana empire, which as around Mali, Timbuktu. The ruins are still there. Our people moved from Mali to present day Ghana along the coast to escape persecution. Now those along the coast came into contact with European missionaries and converted to Christianity. There was also the songhai empire. Mali Empire etc.. At the horn of Africa too, u had Arab traders going from Somalia and Sudan to, zanzibar (Tanzania) to buy slaves etc. These practices were going on before the Europeans got there.

Just to let you know the military was aware the ruling regime was transferring power to a civilian government in the upcoming election in June 18th. My question is why would he stage a coup on May 31st and Boachie Djan on June 4th.

Jerry Rawlings is so dearly missed by real patriots of Ghana. He was a disciplinarian. Unfortunately, those surrounding him were not so disciplined and would rather the corruption prevail. Africa needs the likes of Nkrumah, Rawlings, Mandela, Gaddafi and other great Africans once again. It's takes force and strong hands to break free from corruption and to truly gain independence.

They only gave the dog a bad name just to kill him. He had only one house which he built in his village with the help of his community, yet he was tagged corrupt. Search well on KZbin and you'll find more truths. The men who live during that time and were involved in what happened are out talking now. The Baah Acheamfours, Akatapores and the Boakye Gyans are all talking. Who was corrupt than JJ. He kills someone for having a WC toilet and buys a jacuzzi for his wife. He kills someone for riding their kids to school in official cars and uses the are aircraft to train his child how to fly plane. Which is more corrupt here. Acheampong did so much for Ghana which for obvious reasons have never been captured in our history books. Ask folks who live around Navrongo about the Tono dam. The estate housing projects were all his initiatives. JJ inherited factories and ended up collapsing all of them. Ghanaians now want to see industries...hahahahaha...Go and ask about what JJ did. I ever saw corned beef, rice and tomato paste produced in Ghana. We had cheap transport system called OSA. Where are they. Ghanaians were working 24/7 so there were jobs oo. Many people don't even know that Acheampong made Ghana drive on the right side. It used to be left.

Ok, for good measure, here's an anecdote. The story goes that one of these mistresses walked into his office looking for a favour of sorts. As she turns to walk out after their discussion, Acheampong then notices her backside. Out of shock, he shouts after her: eih, and you didn't come in walking backwards?

Please, please, please. The word is Hausa. Kar ka bude. To wits: don't open it. The connotation is of corrupt things done under cover, which should be kept hidden. Kalabule is only a corruption of kar ka bude or kada Ka bude, depending on the variety, just like waakay (beans) has been corrupted by the dominant culture to wakye, or soboro(do) to sobolo. NB: read Prof. Mike Oquaye's Politics in Ghana, 1972 -1979, which has a chapter on kalabule.

That coup, you call bloody is the saviour and preceptor for development in Ghana. 1. Construction of roads that connects southern to northern Ghana. 2. Extension of lights to cover 80% of the country from less than 20%. 3. Construction of major bridges that connects rural to urban Ghana. 4. The 1992 constitution, that placed Ghana on the path of democracy and development. 5.scaled down corruption in the country. 6.Free education for all. The achievements can be mentioned and seen all around the country. The revolution must continue, the revolution has come to stay.
