Well, well. The illegal miners say they have done it all the time and they only get arrested so why were there shot on this occasion? Well, why did it take this long to start shooting those who have been poisoning our waters all this time. People die from mercury poisoning. Cocoa farms, fish are being destroyed and nothing said makes any difference.

Why do illegal miners carry guns. Do they expect that as a result of change in government the modus operandi of the military will change. I fully support the military action and they should be encouraged to stand their ground

Why are our journalists not having the courage to report the facts? These were known NDC thugs who invaded the mines to take their part of the concession because their government is in power. One of them was called all the way in Madina, Accra to come and join this operation but he didn't go. Anyone who has people in Obuasi can cross check if these were ordinary galamsay boys, these were pure NDC hooligans. Anyone can get the pictures and will realise these were well built NDC footsoldiers. Some were even in Balaclavas, do galamsay people go to work in Balaclavas?

Our people are being killed to protect foreign companies that rob us blind. Decades of AngloGold Ashanti’s mining have left Obuasi with nothing—no roads, no hospitals, no hope—while they walk away with billions. Other nations use their resources to uplift their people, but here, we bury ours for foreign profits. This isn’t leadership; it’s betrayal. How much longer will our government sell us out? The blood of Ghanaians is worth more than their gold. Enough is enough!

TV3, JOY FM, Channel 1 etc have lost their integrity and enable to report the true story.
These are NDC thugs and has nothing to with the fighting of Galamsey.
These guys are always imported and exported to cause trouble in all parts of the country.
Well financed and enpowerwd by the NDC.
Invading establishments in Tema, SHS food banks, etc. And now ORAL
What is coming is more dangerous than Obuasi.
This seed that took years to grow by the NDC will be something else Ghana's future and a big problem for private sector investment.
You can accept it or ignore it.
NDC is just replaying in a different way events of PNDC.
The after effects of this will be interesting.
We are watching.
