The 1983 Aborted Coup - UPfront UPfront on JoyNews (11-7-18)

[@BessehX]

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

[@JoshInsightDeep]

Did he appear after you were detained?

[@BessehX]

Constantly appearing after my arrest

[@edengarden3568]

could this man ask if any of his guests know what happened to col Arnold Ogija, Director of MI and his deputy major Abu Brima before Rawlings take over. These twi men vanished without a trace. Where they also killed by being drop from helicopter. They were doing their jobs as fine military men

[@charlesking7331]

So, this man JJ Rawlings dropped some of his opponents from the helicopter? horrible.

[@BessehX]

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.

[@herculesskinny2030]

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

You are a TRUTH TELLER and have been consistent throughout .One can’t run a revolution merely on the basis of an angry without being informed .,and am not referring to you .Opportunists will always use conscientious folk

[@kwabenaboateng5329]

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

[@richardomari4025]

True!

[@armana1]

very true.

Why are you pushing him foregrets? Jerry John does not merit it!

[@BessehX]

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.

[@OKURU100]

Can someone help me please. Any news about Brigadier Kotex’s son who refused to shake Rawlings hand?

[@midastymiwaynedasty2681]

Interesting. Please any updates

[@znmaf]

Captain Awuni ,Explo are truth tellers very consistent conscientious

[@alexanderoppong3520]

All these generals was killing here and there for rawlings because of his colour....

[@tagorsterling1513]

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

[@frederickosei8892]

Acquah, what is the journalistic value of asking a former prisoner to relive the disgusting conditions in a guardroom?

[@sthenrymary]

Africa! Oh my Africa! The continent of lost opportunities.

[@christtheking4512]

So why did the blood thirsty Rawlings murdered Afrifa if he was overjoyed by the removal of Nkrumah?

[@BessehX]

Only he can explain. He didn't kill Ankrah, Harlley and Deku

[@kingwata1]

Why ask about that stench?

[@herculesskinny2030]

Interesting, this man needs more air time.

[@BessehX]

Thanks. Air time should not be limited to only those blindly sleeping through neo-colonial establishment

[@kayboakye]

Ghana had all these grotesque people who were permitted to exhibit crude caricature of national and regional leaders. It will take a century to reverse the harm inflicted on the people.

[@hosneyomar5929]

Why is Ghanaian leaders too bayas You can't even tell who is saying the truth There seems no future for this country There is a continuous revenge generation May God safe this country

[@BessehX]

To find the truth, if you are interested, you can investigate

[@hosneyomar5929]

The great writer, Noam Chomsky, says nobody will pour the truth into the brain and that you have to find out yourself.

[@kofiasem817]

Forget all these PNDC people. These people were bunch of vicious, greedy, jealous and hatred guys.

What greed were we involved in? Try to find out before making statements. How could people who paid back to government chest be greedy?

Let me guess once u r a dictator u r automatically bad right?

[@BessehX]

I am an Nkrumaist so I cannot be on the wrong side from Nkrumah's time. It is Rawlings rather who sided with Kotoka against Nkrumah. Find out and be informed
