We have never been serious on any issue. Such is the attitude of all Ghanaians including the president down to the down trodden individual at the tail end of the last village in the country. How could Hawkers turn the lobby of the parliament house to market their goods. Where is a simple law called code of enforcement? When are we going to be serious at all?

Kofi Awoonor: A Macabre Finale By Okey Ndibe
Columnist: Okey Ndibe
Posted: October 1, 2013

On the night of Saturday, September 21, 2013, I found myself talking admiringly about Kofi Nyidevu Awoonor, the Ghanaian poet, novelist, literary scholar, diplomat and teacher extraordinaire. The venue was Brooklyn, New York. My wife and I were there because, the next day, I was scheduled to speak at the Brooklyn Book Festival to promote my forthcoming novel, Foreign Gods, Inc. Sheri and I had spent part of the evening in Manhattan. We had looked in at three galleries, done a bit of shopping, and eaten at two restaurants, the last a Senegalese eatery on 29th Street, a pan-African space where Africans from different countries gather at all hours, make jolly, and speak a harvest of tongues.

It was close to 10 p.m. when we finally arrived at the Brooklyn apartment of our hosts, Sean Gallagher, a gifted painter who’s my wife’s academic colleague, and his wife Andrea Petersen, a journalist at the Wall Street Journal. Andrea had retired for the night, but Sean graciously offered us cheese and wine to wind down the day.

As we nibbled and drank, we talked about a variety of subjects. I don’t recall now what provoked it, but at some point I began to talk about Awoonor. I told Sean that, among the reasons I admired the man, was that he returned to Ghana after a distinguished career as a diplomat – and returned to the classroom to teach at the University of Ghana in Legon. Awoonor had served as his country’s ambassador to Cuba, Brazil, and the United Nations. “It’d be rare, if not impossible,” I told Sean, a keen follower of my column, to find a Nigerian who would consent to return to the classroom after holding down several high-profile diplomatic posts.

Unbeknownst to me, Awoonor had died earlier that Saturday. He’d been shot dead in Kenya by a gang of al Shabab terrorists who had stormed the high-scale Westgate Mall in Nairobi, shocking the world with their macabre, gleeful homicidal spree. The group killed with horrifying gusto, leaving – in the wake of their gruesome attacks – the corpses of children, women, and the elderly. Their one stricture was sectarian: a fringe Islamist group, they set out to spare Muslims.

Sunday morning, Sheri and I went to Mass at a church whose congregants were mostly Haitian immigrants. Once outside, Sheri was buying a bouquet of roses for our hosts when I switched my mobile phone back on. There was a lone text message. I read it , and let out a sharp cry, “No!” Startled, Sheri ran to me to find out what it was about. Unable to speak, I offered her the phone to read for herself. The words, from a friend, were terse, to the point: “Your friend Prof. Kofi Awoonor was killed in Kenya.”

The bearer of the message is a US-based Nigerian friend whose work takes him to Ghana from time to time. In the last three years, I always asked him to look in on Awoonor during his stay in Accra. He’d return and remark on the man’s stunning common touch and uncommon generosity.

Like many of my generation, I have had the rare luck of getting to know closely some of the writers and intellectuals whose works shaped my literary worldview. As a secondary school student enchanted by the works of African writers, I could never have imagined a scenario where I would physically meet – much less become close to – such giants as Ngugi wa Thiong’o, Wole Soyinka, Ama Ata Aidoo, Nuruddin Farah, and – among those who have now danced and joined the ancestors – Chinua Achebe, Mokwugo Okoye, Lewis Nkosi, Kofi Awoonor.

Of Awoonor I have imperishable memories. I first met him in person in 1990 when he was Ghana’s permanent representative and ambassador at the UN. By then, I was a big fan of his poetry. I had also read and reread his intriguing, strangely confected novel, This Earth, My Brother...I was enthralled by the novel, having encountered nothing quite like it in African literature. I was a bit surprised to find him ambivalent about the work. On October 21, 1990, he autographed a copy of the book for me. He wrote in the book, “With the best of fraternal wishes – though the book is ‘old’ & the vision is slightly blurred.” He took greater pride in his second (and much less known) novel, Comes the Voyager at Last: A Tale of Return to Africa. He gave me a signed copy of the book on January 29, 1992. He marked it, “For Okey, in anticipation of his first child, and in the firm belief that he will keep firmly on the road – in the cause of our people.”

On first meeting him, I was struck by his effervescent intellect, the ease with which he navigated between the cultural matrices of his Ewe people and the literary traditions of different parts of the world. He was very fond of his aged mother, often telling me how, in conversations with her, she would be solicitous of his well being, as if he were still a teenager. “She’d sometimes scold me for not eating well. Or for keeping late nights,” Awoonor once shared.

Awoonor’s gifts to me were not only intellectual. In 1993, Japan hosted an international conference on Africa’s economic development. Most of Africa’s 50-odd countries sent delegates, with such heads of state as Jerry Rawlings of Ghana, Blaise Compaore of Burkina Faso, Nicephore Soglo of Benin Republic, and Yoweri Museveni of Uganda physically present. One day, Awoonor telephoned and asked if I wanted to go. I did, I responded, but the magazine I was editing at the time couldn’t afford the cost. “Let me see what I can do,” he said. What he did was persuade the Japanese ambassador to the UN, with whom he had forged a friendship, to arrange my visit. I traveled to Japan for two weeks as a guest of the Japanese government. I was able to cover the conference, and also to spend time in three cities – Tokyo, Kyoto, and Nara.

Wherever I met Awoonor – in New York, St. Louis, Accra, Port Harcourt, or Lagos – he came with that ready, resonant laughter that was something of a signature, those eyes that sparkled with life and seemed to peer right into your hidden thoughts, that bracing intelligence, and that zest for life. Rooted in the specificity of Ewe cultural mores, he was broad and complex enough to be an incurable pan-Africanist, unapologetic in his admiration for Kwame Nkrumah. He was a polyglot and a true renaissance man, an avid learner of languages and student of cultures. His book, The Breast of the Earth, remains an attuned and insightful guide into African culture and literature. Out of his many travels and diplomats forays was spun a book titled The Latin American and Caribbean Notebook, a poetic tour de force filled with alluring observations, nostalgic memories, and sharp wit. He was versed in several languages, including Spanish and Portuguese as well as several Ghanaian languages. His English was urbane, his diction sophisticated, and he’d cultivated a mellifluent delivery that could keep any audience spellbound.

As he grew older – he was killed at 78 – he clung to a stubborn youthful joy, had a rich, resonant laugh, and a sense of humor that was altogether becoming and infectious. He was amazingly generous, a man who sought to nurture younger writers – and who exuded great energy whenever he had young aspirant writers as an audience. In 2009, he brought his gifts – his gregariousness, eloquence, and passion for literature – to Port Harcourt where he and Soyinka headlined the inaugural edition of the now estimable Garden City Literary Festival. Many budding writers who took his master class spoke excitedly about his style, the way he’d challenged them, and his depth of knowledge.

Each evening, I looked forward to unwinding with him and Soyinka in the capacious lounge of the hotel. I’d listen to their repartee, two friends and contemporaries who had gone to many cultural battles together, who’d shared the enchantments and adventures of narrating a continent. Awoonor and I flew to Lagos on the same flight. Ifeoma Fafunwa, my brother-in-law’s wife, treated us to a smorgasbord of delicious Nigerian meals and an excellent red wine. The next morning, a friend of mine took us to Terra Kulture for a delectable brunch.

“Okey, I will see you in Accra,” Awoonor said to me as he boarded a cab to Murtala Muhammed Airport for his trip back to Ghana. Alas, that visit will never take place. Still, it is Awoonor, not his murderers, who will have the last word. For the future belongs to humanists like Kofi Awoonor, not depraved men who kill and maim in the name of God. Awoonor’s vision and intelligence and creative fecundity will continually to light our paths, renew our world and reinforce our humanity. His voice will rise, defiant, beyond the machinations of desiccated minds who delude themselves that a point is made through callous mass murder.

Mr. Asiamah, your Mickey Flick (country) is just a Banana Republic, because WHAT goes on well or properly run down there? You run a banana republic, because you can’t make any machines to produce needles, paper clips, scissors, radios, SOCKS, tooth picks, cooking stoves, refrigerators, watches, etc., etc.

EVEN THE BIG QUESTION: “Which country makes the machine used to PRINT GHANAIAN CURRENCY?” Folks, just think deeply about this question and see how others (the money machine makers) are taking Ghana to the cleaners. Do you know how many more machines they made for themselves, NEGRO, and printing and DUMPING the currency into the Ghanaian economy??

Look at your hospitals & Clinics, ROADS, power supply, schools, public transportation, SANITATION, Street naming & numbering, Living off "donor nations", corrupt politicians, judges, police officers, LAZY ASS government workers, Clueless presidents, chop-chop ministers, etc., etc., etc.

So, MP OFUI, why complain about the security at Parliament House only, but not at the airport, Supreme Court, the presidency (Flagstaff House), Universities and, YES, Shopping Malls?? The Kenyan attack wasn't at the Kenyan Parliament, but at a shopping mall.

My whole point is that: The do-nothing MP should rather complain about the general security of the country and not only parliament—where nothing good comes out.

Ghanaian leaders, continue to pander to Muslims and you will all die.You can trust Muslims. Already Al Shaba, Al Queda and Hezebolla have their insiders in Ghana among these wicked Muslims. We better tighten our boarder, and two Iranian wicked Muslims leaders in Upper East Region who are destroying young Ghanaian Muslims mind to destroy infidels in Ghana must be deported immediately.

The turbaned gunmen who infiltrated Nairobi's Westgate Mall arrived with a set of religious trivia questions: As terrified civilians hid in toilet stalls, behind mannequins, in ventilation shafts and underneath food court tables, the assailants began a high-stakes game of 20 Questions to separate Muslims from those they consider infidels.
A 14-year-old boy saved himself by jumping off the mall's roof, after learning from friends inside that they were quizzed on names of the Prophet Muhammad's relatives. A Jewish man scribbled a Quranic scripture on his hand to memorize, after hearing the terrorists were asking captives to recite specific verses. Numerous survivors described how the attackers from al-Shabab, a Somali cell which recently joined al-Qaida, shot people who failed to provide the correct answers.
Their chilling accounts, combined with internal al-Shabab documents discovered earlier this year by The Associated Press, mark the final notch in a transformation within the global terror network, which began to rethink its approach after its setbacks in Iraq. Al-Qaida has since realized that the indiscriminate killing of Muslims is a strategic liability, and hopes instead to create a schism between Muslims and everyone else, whom they consider "kuffar," or apostates.
"What this shows is al-Qaida's acknowledgment that the huge masses of Muslims they have killed is an enormous PR problem within the audience they are trying to reach," said Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, director of the Center for the Study of Terrorist Radicalization. "This is a problem they had documented and noticed going back to at least Iraq. And now we see al-Qaida groups are really taking efforts to address it."
The evolution of al-Shabab is reflected in a set of three documents believed to be written by the terrorist group, and found by the AP in northern Mali earlier this year. They include the minutes of a conference of 85 Islamic scholars, held in December 2011 in Somalia, as well as a summary of fatwas they issued last year after acceptance into the al-Qaida fold.
Baptized with the name al-Shabab, meaning The Youth, in 2006, the group began as an extremist militia, fighting the government of Somalia. As early as 2009, it began courting al-Qaida, issuing recordings with titles like, "At Your Service Osama."
Until the Westgate attack, the group made no effort to spare Muslim civilians, hitting packed restaurants, bus stations and a government building where hundreds of students were awaiting test results. And until his death in 2011, Osama bin Laden refused to allow Shabab into the al-Qaida network, according to letters retrieved from his safehouse in Pakistan. The letters show that the terror leader was increasingly troubled by regional jihadi operations killing Muslim civilians.
In a letter to Shabab in 2010, bin Laden politely advised the Somali-based fighters to review their operations "in order to minimize the toll to Muslims." Shabab did not get the green light to join al-Qaida until February 2012, almost a year after bin Laden's death.
In an email exchange this week with The Associated Press, it made its intentions clear: "The Mujahideen carried out a meticulous vetting process at the mall and have taken every possible precaution to separate the Muslims from the Kuffar before carrying out their attack." However, even at Westgate, al-Shabab still killed Muslims, who were among the more than 60 civilians gunned down inside.
Their attack was timed to coincide with the highest traffic at the upscale mall after 12:30 p.m. on Sept. 21, a Saturday. More than 1,000 people, including diplomats, pregnant women with strollers and foreign couples, were inside when the fighters armed with grenades and AK-47s burst in and opened fire. At first the attack had the indiscriminate character of all of Shabab's previous assaults.
Rutvik Patel, 14, was in the aisles at Nakumatt, the mall's supermarket which sells everything from plasma TVs to imported kiwis, when he heard the first explosion. "They started shooting continuously, and whoever died, died," he said. "Then it became calm and they came up to people and began asking them some questions. If you knew the answer, they let you go," he said. "They asked the name of the Prophet's mom. They asked them to sing a religious verse."

Just across from the Nakumatt supermarket, a 31-year-old Jewish businessman was cashing a check inside the local Barclays branch when he, too, heard the shooting. The people there ran to the back and shut themselves in the room with the safe, switching off the lights. They learned, via text messages, that the extremists were asking people to recite an Arabic prayer called the Shahada.
"One of the women who was with us got a text from her husband saying, they're asking people to say the Islamic oath, and if you don't know it, they kill you," said the businessman, who insisted on anonymity out of fear for his safety.
He threw away his passport. Then he downloaded the Arabic prayer and wrote it on his palm.
Al-Shabab's attempts to identify Muslims are clear in the 16-page transcript from the conference of Islamic scholars held in the Somali town of Baidoa, an area known to be under Shabab control in 2011, according to Somalia specialist Kenneth Menkhaus, a political science professor at Davidson College in North Carolina. The scholars issued several fatwas defining exactly who was a Muslim and who was an apostate.
The document states it is halal, or lawful, to kill and rob those who commit crimes against Islam: "The French and the English are to be treated equally: Their blood and their money are halal wherever they may be. No Muslim in any part of the world may cooperate with them in any way. ... It leads to apostasy and expulsion from Islam," it says. Further on it adds: "Accordingly, Ethiopians, Kenyans, Ugandans and Burundians are just like the English and the French because they have invaded the Islamic country of Somalia."
Former FBI supervisory special agent Ali Soufan, who investigated the bombing of the United States embassies in East Africa as well as the attack on the USS Cole, said that the gathering of dozens of religious scholars in an area under Shabab control harkens back to an al-Qaida conference in Afghanistan around 1997. That conference defined America as a target, Soufan said, leading to the bombing of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.
"You see something very similar here," said Soufan. "It's the same playbook."
In a second document dated Feb. 29, 2012 — just two weeks after al-Shabab joins al-Qaida — the organization warns Muslims to stay away from buildings occupied by non-Muslims, chillingly predicting and justifying the death of Muslims at Westgate.
"And so all Muslims must stay far away from the enemy and their installations so as not to become human shields for them, and so as not to be hurt by the blows of the mujahedeen directed at the Crusader enemies," it says. "There is no excuse for those who live or mingle with the enemies in their locations."
Yet at the same time it says: "The mujahideen are sincere in wanting to spare the blood of their brother Muslims, and they don't want a Muslim to die from the bullets directed at the enemies of God."
This is a concession for an organization that since its inception had killed people constantly, said Rudolph Atallah, who tracked Shabab as Africa counterterrorism director in the Office of the Secretary of Defense from 2003 to 2007.

View gallery."

A mourner walks past portraits of Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta's nephew Mbugua Mwangi, left, and …

"They would just go and mow people down," Atallah said. "They are now sending a clear message that, 'Look, we're different ... We're no longer indiscriminately killing. We're protecting innocent Muslims and we are trying to kill quote-unquote 'infidels,' nonbelievers."
A similar tactic paid off in January after al-Qaida-linked terrorist Moktar Belmoktar attacked a gas installation in Algeria, Atallah said. When his fighters freed hundreds of Muslim employees, a Facebook page dedicated to him exploded with "Likes."
Several hours after the gunshots at Westgate Mall, the people cowering inside the Barclays bank heard a commotion. As the attackers approached, the Jewish businessman spit on his hand to erase the words he had by then committed to memory.
The door opened.
He exhaled. It was the police.
Several floors above, 14-year-old Patel looked for a place to hide on the roof. When the jihadists came up the stairs and threw a grenade, he didn't hesitate. He jumped, crushing his ankle on the pavement below.
He said he would not have known how to answer their questions.

The youths has no jobs, no hope for their future because the other end of the tunnel looks more darker. Al-Shabab terrorist group will have no problem of recruiting more than 1 million youths with a monthly income of $200. After their training they will finish the parliamentarians in seconds because of not taking good care of the country's money not bringing Woyome and others to book. In fact, most of the youths are fed up and praying for something to happen in the country. Nobody should deceive himself that the youths are happy about how the present leaders are looting the masses money.God has given all Ghanaians the numerous resources for the betterment of our lives but only our leaders are enjoying. They even more than they can spend in their lifetime. What sort of greed is that ? Al-Shabab are welcome to parliament house.

If you can open your eyes for even just one second and think for one-sixth of a second you may perhaps realize that Moslems are not really the ones terrorizing the world.

It is rather those who are always fighting others to steal their mineral resources, for being African nationalists, for being communists, for being liberation fighters, for being Arabs, for being Black, for being Chinese and so on and so forth. They are the ones who are the real terrorists of this world.

The only difference is that as for us Africans, we allow others to come and terrorize us and we dont complain. We rather help them to terrorize us even more. As for Arabs and Moslems they will fight back for their dignity and their resources and you can call them all the names you want.

It is rather you who deserves some pity for the suffering you are going through as a result of your stupidity and inability to stand on your own two feet with pride and courage.

The MP's think they are the only ones who need protection and the rest of us don't matter. Everyone will be safe if they do their job well. The emphasis should be on public places like the shopping malls especially the Accra Mall. Our security should collaborate with other foreign security agencies like the CIA 'cos they are usually ahead of these terrorists. We should not ignore any warnings given to us by these foreign agencies. Kenya ignored it at a big cost. Sometimes we Africans should swallow our empty pride and haughty behavior and accept our shortcomings.

km Agyin, you are the perfect example of the classic house-nigger and the slave who does not want to hear anything about freedom. In other words you are allergic to self-respect and dignity.

Listen to your pathetic self and what you sound like, "..we are not perfect, we shouldnt be haughty (too known), we should not ignore the warnings (patronizing)of those (imperialists) who have randomly committed genocide in Africa in excess of hundreds of millions and have been ripping us off for more than anyone else for over 300 years; 'Kenya ignored warnings', in other words, Kenya impudently asserted herself as an independent nation and now look at how she has suffered".

Africans like you should be tarred and feathered, drawn and quartered and your remains fed to animals.

You are beyond the hope of redemption from slavery. Listen to your pathetic self again, "..we Africans should swallow our empty pride and haughty behavior and accept our shortcomings." In short what this means within context is that, we shold not make any attempt at redeeming ourselves from mental slavery and that we should just simply accept our fate as slaves.

If after several hundreds of years suffering the most horrific forms of oppression, there are still Africans who still think like you, I can only conclude that after all, you must be right in thinking that Africans are so stupid that they cant do anything for themselves.

How you express yourself skilfully with the "slave master's" language is indeed self evident of your 'intelligence'. You actually allude to the fact that imperialists have been ripping you off for 300 years and your response to pragmatic advise about your security is to throw tantrums, pouring your gari in the sand. Yours is classic self delusion of liberation when you depend on these same imperialists for your virtual existence. If you think by your senseless riposte to km Agyin, you have done justice to his post, then be informed that your so called 'liberation' is nothing short of a mental masturbation.
Unfortunately, the world as we know it, is a battle of minds. It requires KNOWLEDGE AND STRATEGY,to preserve and sustain your group.This however is a tedious exercise that requires humility and patience. It follows logically, that you don't get it. Clearly you have not departed from the ways of your fathers and I fear you will remain in the claws of the imperialists for the next 300 years.

Well, who's to blame for this poor security? If Mahama @ cronies were not misusing state funds and thereby plunging the country into untold debt, the security agencies could have been given a big budget to work with to improve our national security, including that of Parliament Hse and, of course, the Flagstaff Hse and Kotoka Int Airport, etc.
Also no one can stop the hawkers who conitually flock the Parliament Hse to sell stuff like bananas/roasted groundnut, goro (colanuts), kenkey/fried fish, fried yam, roasted guinea fowl (let the reader beware), to mention but a few, but the MPs themselves. They need to stop buying these stuff or sending their errand boys to go and buy for them. Eat lunch from the cafeteria in the Parliament building and stop lowering our standards in the Hse! One day a goro seller, riding on the back of a donkey, will set a bomb inside the building which can claim hundreds of lifes. Pls beware, MPs!
