African leaders spend all their time stealing money and are not even aware that there is illegal fishing going on in their waters. No money to buy patrol boats since the money is in a politicians account. Satanic people.

It's extremely saddens my heart to see how mother Africa has come under constant exploitation from the West and now Asia. First, Africa was exploited for her human and natural resources; the strongest Africans were ripped out of their homes and taken into slavery for many years ago. The west came to Africa "visa free". Gold, timber and other natural resources have been stolen from the African continent during colonial rule to develop the West who had run out of resources at the time. Now, the marine life of the African continent is under attack by the Chinese, the Europeans, the Russians and what have you. These exploitations are taking place under the watch of the corrupt African leaders who looks to the West to solve every single problem that goes in Africa. No one helped the Americans to build and developed the United States into the modern day almighty U.S.A. The Chinese were extremely poor in less than 20 years ago and now their economy is a force to reckon with. Wake up, stupid and senseless African corrupt leaders!!!!

This is something the Western companies and governments have been doing for decades but want to point fingers at the Chinese for copying them.How many times have we had endless barrels of unidentified substance wash up at our shores? The last time so many deaths, disease and injuries were caused when locals cleaned out the barrels and began to use them.Ghana has a responsibility to upgrade her defense capacity at least to that of South African's.

Chinese have been taking advantage of west Africa and Ghana because they know Africa leaders are easily manipulated and only get into power to make themselves rich and their families but not the citizens. In Ghana in my village Chinese have been digging deep holes for gold, they hold guns and kill the natives if you dare open your mouth, the rivers have been destroyed by Chinese ,in ten years to come our villagers who can not afford hospital bills can not buy drugs when the prescription is given to them, can not afford to send their children to secondary school can not even afford to give breakfast to their children before school . They will be beggars on the street when China continue to be rich and buy multimillion oil company in Brazil and employing diplomat to work in China when Ghana and west Africa continue to sink. In Ghana, armed robbery is a job of the day for most of the youth. Poverty is on the rise corruption is Worse .Disabled are on high way begging for money putting their lives in danger because a drunken driver can just kill them with speeding cars and lorries, the mentally ill patients are on the street when our leaders sit down unconcerned but has given permission for Chinese to make their country China rich whilst our country Ghana continue to sink into the drain. Now Chinese you are fishing in west Africa greenpeace illegally? Why are you not going to take advantage of the western world and Arab world and see if you can get away with it? What has Africa done to you that you Chinese are so evil and selfish you have decided to reduce us to zero and make your country better. Let me tell you Chinese you are worse than what Hiltler did to us. You are killing the villagers in Ghana. Our leaders in Ghana can not create employment to the youth and most of the men are doing armed robbery and killing people here and there whilst your country China continue to prosper. Why can't you create proper employment for our youth to do proper mining without destroying our lands? west Africa leaders and Ghana president are you women in men clothing? If not then you need to defend west Africa and Ghana from Chinese . I'm not against anything that will bring improvement to our nations. Chinese should do proper mining and every profit or gold they get, they should give 50% to Ghana to build our country. If they refuse let them go back to China . Please UN I Grace Divine Jesson take this opportunity to beg you,you should come into this situation to help protect west Africa greenpeace from Chinese and also help Ghanaians so that proper agreement will be made with Chinese in Ghana to make proper mining business that will benefit both countries China and Ghana . I am not going to beg western world about this because they do not care about Africans.

Greenpeace reports that China is illegally fishing off the coast of West Africa; and as usual, the responses in this forum blame our leaders. Isn't it pathetic that it takes the Western-owned Greenpeace to tell us that the Chinese are illegally fishing off our coast? Where are our fishermen, and why is Greenpeace telling us this? Is Greenpeace really interested in our wellbeing or it is just another agency in the arsenal of Obama's Pivot to Asia which is nothing short of aiming to destroy China for its remarkable economic achievements in the last four or so decades, which they see as "a threat"? If there were African fishing vessels fishing off our own coast we would have known the presence of the Chinese and chased them away long before our benevolent masters got to know about it and warned us. Some of us are tired of the bashing of African leaders. Get off your butts, fellow Africans, and do things for yourselves instead of picking the crumbles from your masters' table and singing the swan song, as if your masters are any good to you. Are we not insane, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

The west has been colonizing, suppressing and exploiting us for over 500 years, and you are not concerned. What have you done about it; the Chinese come here with open arms, ready to engage in fair trade with us on win-win basis but you can see it that way. You still want your English and American exploiters. You don't seem to have had enough of exploitation, do you?. Grow up!

China could never have brazenly come to these African waters for fishing were it not for the sold and bought leaders in Africa by the Chinese government. We live in Africa, especially Sub-Saharan African nations, thinking there is something free anywhere in the world we can get without paying a price. All we have to do is look around and just may the not so blind Ghanaians/Africans will see Chinese domination of communities within our respective countries.

China did not sneak into our countries; they came by purchasing governments. China has earned the license to do whatever the heck they need to do for the betterment of mother China. May be our dumb leader, thumping their chest because of some classroom earned degrees will learn when they feel the pinch of being subjugated by China.

Our inability to fight the Ebola outbreak should have been a warning to stop wasting and mismanaging government money. China's government did not get rich by wasting money; they earned the money using a system that Ghana and Ghanaians in all its foolishness thought was abuse under the CPP. How does it feel to be "free" from your leaders of the same race only to be servants unto others?

Green Peace does not write about the natural resources of Africa that are stolen by Western European countries and US. Ghana use to have fishing ships, who advised us to sell them. If those ships were there they should have been used to fish and also monitor our marine waters.
It is interesting when a person goes up stream, makes the water dirty, then run down downstream to shout that the water is dirty.
