This is wrong and BAD order to shoot the poor animals. This is cruelty against animals. The police shd rather seize the cattle for owner to pay some FINE. The poor animals haven't committed any offence but their Herdsmen. If you kill them what happens to their MEAT or carcass? Did the IGP/ Minister for Interior instructed DCOP Awuni to do that or he's giving a unilateral ORDER? Its BAD and ILLEGAL to give that order.

What about the cruelty that Fulani's are doing against other indigenous people (Ghanaians), What about they cruelty that the animals are causing on other peoples crop. If they don't want them to be killed, then they should cage them. Parliament should pass a law to stop farm animals from roaming about freely and feeding off on other peoples property.

So the police should stand there and be gored by the cattle directed at them? What idiotic statement is that?
Peace-making takes into account an issue as a whole and finds the middle line, the best way to de-escalate but not statements that appear to support one side. Heck with your economy, nothing works in the absence of the rule of law.

An expect in security in deed, give us solutions and not such admonition of our gallant leaders like the DCOP. He is a good leader who does not want to loose any of his men . What is wrong about that

Aning, Kwesi's utterances is fantastically outrageous.
It beggars belief and disturbs the natural equilibrium of common sense, to be egregiously disturbing.
And clearly, it cannot be right and proper. It is totally wrong.

What type of expert is this Dr. Aning? In Ghana, anything is expert. He means the Ghana police should stand aloof and be gored down by cattle sent by irresponsible, nomadic people from Burkina Faso? Has he also calculated the economic loss to Ghanaians as a result of the destruction caused by these cattle and their nomads? Or those don't contribute to the economy. Absolute nonsense and thrash from a self proclaimed expert. The Police commander is right.

You stay in Accra and talk any how, that is security implications or investment. Those that the Fulanis have murder, rape or destroy their farms, don't contribute to the economy of Ghana.

What is going on is government weakness. When people make irresponsible provocative statements, the government keeps mute while the media amplifies the statement 100 times over. We are not using our heads. We are using less than our tummies to react to a complex problem. Most of our MPs are economics/business illiterates and do not approach things holistically. Compounding the situation are the pending elections. So they are playing to the gallery. This is the time for leadership!!!

Whatever the Eastern Regional Police Commander DCOP, Awuni said about killing the cattle of Fulani herdsmen is very disturbing indeed, Mr. Awuni didn't consider the unintended consequences of his order apparently; however, the analysis given by Dr. Kwesi Aning, the Security expert , opposing the slaughtering of the cattle is quite lackadaisical, and fails to explain why the Fulani pastoralists are invading the forest zones of Ghana in the first place.

Our authorities handling the Fulani invasion must use sane, humane, ecological measures to counteract them & benefit doing that.

If one wants to rear cattle. One contructa ranch keep the cattle in it and feed the cattle. But not let the cattle loss to destroy farm. Shoot any cattle roaming freely.

This Dr. Anning man now talks rubbish. The commander says if the caws are deliberately directed at them they can defend themselves if even shooting at the caws, and so? if the caws are intentionally directed at them they should run away or stay there and be stamped, that is what you meant? nonsense. If you have an idea as to the best to do with the Fulanis share with the Government but don't just use cheap words like they are investment potential or helps the economy, even in the more developed country they will not care whether investment or not when their security is compromised. What kind of security expert are you.You just stay there and criticize without no ideas.

Dr. Anning has probably forgotten the mess the Fulani herdsmen have caused to our poor farmers including murders in various areas. I strongly believe, the Fulani herdsmen pose serious security risk to our country.

It is disturbing to have people like Dr Anning, a so-called expert, spewing out such nonsense. He had previously described Ghanaians as xenophobic and is now talking about the Fulani's economic contributions. What about the economic contributions of the farmers whose farms are being destroyed or the many who are now afraid to go to their farms, people who own this country? This guy constantly takes the side of the Fulani's against Ghanaians probably because it makes him look good to his sponsors. He is a JUDAS who will sell his country and countrymen for a bowl of rice and Fulani beef. Shame on him. Now that he has demonstrated his idiocy, we are better advised to ignore the vermin that comes out of his mouth!
