Ghana accused of targeting Fulani refugees from Burkina Faso | DW News Africa

Security forces in Ghana stand accused of expelling Fulani people who have fled from jihadist violence in Burkina Faso.
Ghana says it is carrying out a repatriation exercise for those that wish to return. But the the UN and the Fulani union condemned the expulsions. Maxwell Suuk reports from the Tilli Forest in Ghana's Upper East state.

It is time for Fulanis to settle like all other groups, than traveling from country to country. You can't move cattle all over the country and damaging people's farms. Fulanis don't want to change to so called, modern ways. They don't want to go to school, and they want to continue moving from place to place. I don't want Fulanis to come and destroy crops in my village. They have the same problem all over West Africa. It's time for Fulanis to integrate and stay in permanent communities like other groups or tribes, else things will only get worse for them as a people. A whole lot of banditary in Nigeria is caused by Fulanis. I mean highway armed bandits.

Leave them alone, and respect their choice. We are all the same. Don't forget the vision of Dr Kwame Krumah and Ahmed sekou Touré for Africans people to unite and become the same people.

The problem in Nigeria is that Fulani are in powerful positions. They control the army, and almost all other armed forces. They ignore the courts. They have stolen a lot of money, such that some of them are wealthier than the govt. When you have a situation like this, it's hard to take action against them. The former vice president stood up against them. They crashed his helicopter. He was lucky to survive it. If you challenge them, the next thing is to start plotting how to off you.

However, a number of Ghanaians have suffered some horrendous brutalities from some Fulanis. Like the head of the Fulanis issued a disclaimer in this documentary, it is not all the Fulanis who are into these barbaric acts. The challenge is that since these Ghanaians who have had these experiences cannot forget these unmentionable cruelties, its had a dent on their minds to welcome them. On the basis stated above, I agree with the Regional minister that diligent measures be laid down so that, the Fulanis of reputable character are allowed to enter the country to foster a peaceful and friendly Ghanaian community.

[@YOUNGDOCGH]

In Ghana's land, a tale unfolds, Of Fulanis' arrival, once welcomed and bold. Their herds grazed freely, under the sun's embrace, But darkness brewed, casting a somber space. At first, they came, a wandering tribe, With promises sweet, like a deceptive bribe. Ghanaians opened hearts and homes, A chance for unity, where compassion roams. Yet, greed and cruelty soon took root, As Fulanis' actions turned astute. Farmers' cries rose with the setting sun, Their toil and sweat, by cattle overrun. Fertile fields, once blooming with life, Trampled and ruined by the herd's strife. Complaints arose from weary hearts, But met with violence, tearing lives apart. The cattles' hunger knew no bounds, The farmers' patience, strained and drowned. Innocence tarnished, dreams deferred, As sorrow's shadow loomed, undeterred. Highways once safe, now danger's den, As robbers and rapists struck again. Ghanaians, once trusting, now lived in fear, Their pleas for peace fell on deaf ears. Yet, let us not forget the truth, For in every group, good and bad take root. Not all Fulanis bear this wicked stain, But those who do inflict enduring pain. Let unity reign and hatred cease, Seeking harmony, a lasting peace. Ghanaians resilient, together we stand, Facing the darkness, hand in hand. May empathy guide us, hearts to mend, And in unity, this cycle end. So, let us rise, brave and strong, Uniting our voices, against all wrong. For in compassion's embrace, we'll find, A path to heal the wounded mind. Let love's beacon shine through the night, And lead us towards a future bright.
