This is the limit. How much lower can we sink as a nation? Ghanaians cannot take anymore of this Mahama nonsense. Mahama is killing the spirit of Ghana and our enthusiasm for life.

How can this country ever recover from the disgrace and the shame of this most discreditable and reprehensible deed?

Two hundred years from hence, our great-great grandchildren will take this as a case study of sheepish neo-colonial subservience of Ghanaians/Africans under the most dictatorial instance of global imperialist domination and they will wonder how we could have been so stupid.

Look at how even the NPP - the traditional imperialist errand boys and stooges who would have gladly agreed to act in the same foolish manner if they were to be in govt, are standing up against this despicable turn of events. This misdeed can be classified as one of the worse things to have undermined our sovereign integrity as an independent nation.

Ghanaians must stand up against this. We do not want to inherit the criminal deeds nor play any part at all in the illegal actions of other countries around the world. As stupid as our leaders are, we are a peaceful country and we want to remain as such because at the very least, we can live under dumsor and other deplorable conditions without bombs being rained on us and our children on a daily basis. The line that crosses the peaceful conditions that we live in today – in spite of all our shortcomings, and the chaos that reigns in countries like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and Syria, is very very thin and we should be wary of it lest we are spontaneously drawn into this kind of hell overnight.

No amount of handouts can justify Ghana’s association with this crime against humanity which even the perpetrators themselves are trying their damned best not to be seen as being part of. We do not want to be associated with this Guantanamo crap and anything that has to do with it. History will not exonerate those of us living today if we do. Simple and short.

If Mahama succumbed to this smelly arrangement with the agreement that perhaps he will benefit in kind from those who imposed this on him - in his bid to win a second term in office, he lie bad. I can very well conjecture that even the most moronic, daft, blind, obtuse and bought-off NDC supporter will angrily vote against Mahama for this terrible terrible misdeed.

The lie that is being thrown at us that the two Arabs have been cleared of all terrorist activity is not compatible with the fact that they have been held at the notorious Guantanamo Bay detention facilities for hardened terrorists for over 14 years. If they were not guilty of all the crimes that were leveled against them and therefore the reason for which they were apprehended, then why were they kept there for so long? And having decided to free them, why bring them to Ghana of all places? I fear that this is just a precedence of other nasty things that will follow.

My greatest concern is the interest that these two terrorist ex-convicts, who are factually said to be known members of Al Qaida, will draw from other global terrorist organizations around the world to Ghana. In fact Ghana will from now be considered by other terrorist organizations as an ally or stooge of their enemies and the dire consequences of this are not difficult to perceive. Ghana will therefore inevitably become a terrorist target in their global operations and this will be the sad end of a country that was once known as Ghana – the Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumahs Ghana.

If there was anything between the ears of the leaders of the NDC, they would have realised that it isn't the refugees themselves who could pose a threat to security. It is the organisations to which they belong that will seek vengeance on their behalf against Ghana.

Doesn't the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have dossiers on Anser-Din, Boko Haram, Al Qaeda, Isis and the Taliban? Who can ever forecast what security threat such murderous organisations can pose to any country at any time?

If you want to know the harm that Fat Stinky and Piggy Molato called Hannah Tetteh is going to cause Ghana then read the story of Hassan Ghul.

Allegedly an al-Qaeda agent, Hassan Ghul born Mustafa Hajji Muhammad Khan,[1] was also identified as a member of Ansar al-Islam.[2] His nationality was reported as Saudi Arabian,[3] Yemeni,[4][5] Pakistani[5][6] or Egyptian.[7][8] His testimony was a critical factor in identifying the secret location of Osama Bin Laden in Abbottabad.

Captured by Kurdish anti terror and turned over to American forces in 2004, Ghul was stated to have been as lowly as a "courier" who ran packages and delivered letters for al-Qaeda members. Ghul held such high ranks as "top lieutenant", "second-in-command" or "trusted emissary" of everyone from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to Osama bin Laden to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

He was held at a CIA black site for two years, before being turned over to a Pakistani prison system.[9] It was during this time of detainment by the CIA in early 2004, but before he was subjected to "enhanced interrogation" techniques, that Ghul listed al-Kuwaiti as a close associate of bin Laden.[10] CIA records show that Ghul was not the first source of the name "al-Kuwaiti," which was also provided in 2002 by another detainee, Abu Zubair al-Ha'ili, who was being held by a foreign government.[11] Intelligence agents intercepted a satellite phone call [12] made by Osama bin Laden's bodyguard in 2010 which led to the surveillance of a courier that in turn led intelligence operatives to Osama bin Laden's compound.[13]

Ghul was killed by a CIA drone strike in North Waziristan in October 2012.[14]

Ghul was first mentioned in the 9/11 Commission, where he was stated to have led three people, including Mushabib al-Hamlan, to a waypoint controlled by Abu Zubaydah.[15]

He was captured on January 23, 2004[16] by Kurdish anti terror, possibly associated with the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan,[17] at a checkpoint near Kalar, at the Iranian border after police sent a fax to American CIA officials to confirm his photograph. There are contradicting claims that he was caught entering Iraq to bring al-Zarqawi money and bomb schematics[18] or that he was caught leaving Iraq bringing al-Zarqawi's progress report on successful suicide bombings into Iran.[7]

Ghul was carrying a USB flash drive and two CDs, one allegedly including a 17-page progress report believed to have been written by al-Zarqawi, claiming responsibility for suicide attacks in Iraq. US Intelligence officials have contradicted the accepted story, stating that the progress report was instead found in an abandoned safehouse in Baghdad.[19][20] In addition, the US military provided the media with "photocopies of the original handwritten Arabic letter" which were then translated, muddying the claim that it had been a computer document.[21] A notebook in his satchel also revealed a number of names and phone numbers of suspected associates.[22]

Kurdish forces immediately turned Ghul over to the American military, and he was interrogated while still in the country.[19][23] Although he may have been cooperative with the military interrogation, his questioning revealed little.[24]

Ghana is a joke, check who is the leader of ISIS? He was release from Iraq prison by US on grounds of good behavior. Then after his release by US government, he went ahead to form ISIS. Now same person is on CIA most wanted list for $10,000,000

I am so still shaken about this news. Come to US and check what I am saying if you are too dumb to understand.

Ibrahim al Qosi, an ex-Guantanamo detainee, now serves as a leader and spokesman for al Qaeda in Yemen.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released a new video featuring a former Guantanamo detainee, Ibrahim Qosi, who is also known as Sheikh Khubayb al Sudani.

In July 2010, Qosi plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and material support for terrorism before a military commission. His plea was part of a deal in which he agreed to cooperate with prosecutors during his remaining time in US custody. Qosi was transferred to his home country of Sudan two years later, in July 2012.

Qosi joined AQAP in 2014 and became one of its leaders. Qosi and other AQAP commanders discussed their time waging jihad at length in the video, entitled “Guardians of Sharia.”

Islamic scholars ensure the “correctness” of the “jihadist project,” according to Qosi. And the war against America continues through “individual jihad,” which al Qaeda encourages from abroad. Here, Qosi referred to al Qaeda’s policy of encouraging attacks by individual adherents and smaller terror cells. Indeed, AQAP’s video celebrates jihadists who have acted in accordance with this call, such as the Kouachi brothers, who struck Charlie Hebdo’s offices in Paris earlier this year. The Kouachi brothers’ operation was sponsored by AQAP.

The al Qaeda veterans shown in the video emphasized the importance of following the advice of recognized jihadist ideologues. Although AQAP’s men do not mention the Islamic State by name, they clearly have Abu Bakr al Baghdadi’s group in mind. Al Qaeda has criticized the Islamic State for failing to follow the teachings of widely respected jihadist authorities, most of whom reject the legitimacy of Baghdadi’s self-declared “caliphate.”

Qosi’s appearance marks the first time he has starred in jihadist propaganda since he left Guantanamo. His personal relationship with Osama bin Laden and time in American detention make him an especially high-profile spokesman.

A leaked Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) threat assessment and other declassified files documented Qosi’s extensive al Qaeda dossier. In the threat assessment, dated Nov. 15, 2007, US intelligence analysts described Qosi as a “high” risk to the US and its allies.

“Detainee is an admitted veteran jihadist with combat experience beginning in 1990 and it is assessed he would engage in hostilities against US forces, if released,” JTF-GTMO found.

In 1990, Qosi met two al Qaeda members who recruited him for jihad in Afghanistan.

Qosi was then trained at al Qaeda’s al Farouq camp, which was the terror group’s primary training facility in pre-9/11 Afghanistan. In 1991, Osama bin Laden relocated to Sudan and Qosi followed. He worked as an accountant and treasurer for bin Laden’s front companies, a role he would continue to fill after al Qaeda moved back to Pakistan and Afghanistan in the mid-1990s.

JTF-GTMO found that after an attempt on bin Laden’s life in 1994, Qosi was chosen to be a member of the al Qaeda founder’s elite security detail. He was also picked to perform sensitive missions around that time.

For example, Qosi served as a courier and may have delivered funds to the terrorist cell responsible for the June 25, 1995 assassination attempt on Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Qosi relocated to Chechnya that same year, before returning to bin Laden’s side in Afghanistan some time in 1996 or 1997.

“From 1998 to 2001,” JTF-GTMO’s analysts wrote, Qosi “traveled back and forth between the front lines near Kabul and Kandahar to help with the fight against the Northern Alliance.”

In Dec. 2001, the Pakistanis captured Qosi as he fled the Battle of Tora Bora. He was detained as part of a group dubbed the “Dirty 30” by US intelligence officials. The “Dirty 30” included other members of bin Laden’s bodyguard unit, as well as Mohammed al Qahtani, the would-be 20th hijacker. Qahtani, who was slated to take part in the Sept. 11, 2001 hijackings, had been denied entry into the US just months before.

While detained at Guantanamo in 2003, Qosi was asked why he stayed true to bin Laden for so many years. According to JTF-GTMO, Qosi explained it was his “religious duty to defend Islam and fulfill the obligation of jihad and that the war between America and al Qaeda is a war between Islam and aggression of the infidels.”

Qosi made it clear in AQAP’s new production that he hasn’t changed his opinion in the twelve years since.

THAT THE DATE IN QUESTION ITSELF AS PUBLISHED BY HON.MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS HANNAH TETTEY AS JANUARY 22, 2009 WAS JUST TWO (2) DAYS WHEN H.E.DR.MR>PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA HISTORIC PRESIDENCY WAS INAUGURATED AND JUST THE SAME DAY H.E.DR.MR>PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SENT ME THE E-MAIL INVITATION AND ASKED OF MY HELP TO WORK TOGETHER AND MY TASK AMONG OTHERS, "---TO HELP SERVE TOGETHER TO KEEP UNITY AND SERVICE ALIVE---AND THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO---PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA".
HITHERTO,FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA EVEN BEFORE THE HISTORIC INAUGURATION SENT ME THE E-MAIL INVITATION ON JANUARY 16,2009 TO HELP H.E.PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
THAT I HAVE DULY ACCEPTED TO HELP SERVE TOGETHER AND TOGETHER WE HAVE BEEN WORKING EVER SINCE.
THAT ALSO DURING THE PRESIDENCIES OF HIS EXCELLENCIES MR>FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH AND H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA DR.JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR AT THE TIME I WROTE THE RICHMOND PUBLIC SCHOOLS REPORT IN A FORM OF "MEMORANDUM" AND WHEN I WAS MAKING THE RICHMOND REPORT AS "A CASE STUDY FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" THAT I RESPECTFULLY MADE A REQUEST TO H.E.MR>FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH TO CONSIDER TO OFFICIALLY INVITE H.E.FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA JOHN AGYEKUM KUFUOR TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND H>E.MR>FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W.BUSH DULY INVITED THE FORMER PRESIDENT OF GHANA TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

THAT I AM SPEAKING AUTHORITATIVELY SINCE AS GHANA LAWYER, INTERNATIONAL LAWYER/LEGAL CONSULTANT, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR WHO ALSO STUDIED INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND SOCIAL SCIENTIST THAT THE INTERPRETATION BEING GIVEN TO GHANA FOREIGN RELATIONS AND 21ST CENTURY DIPLOMATIC DISPENSATIONS IS SEEN BEING DRIVEN TOWARDS THE "MUSLIM WORLD" RATHER THAN AMERICA AND THE WESTERN WORLD.
THERE IS THEREFORE THE URGENT NEED TO HELP PROTECT THE PREAMBLE TO GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION AND THE CONSTITUTION ITSELF AND THE INTERNATIONAL LAW, THERETO>
THEREFORE, THERE IS URGENT NEED TO BE SEEN TO ADOPT THE SMART DIPLOMACY OF BALANCED FOREIGN RELATIONS IN LINE WITH THE PREAMBLE OF GHANA 1992 CONSTITUTION, AMONG OTHERS, "---THE PEOPLE OF GHANA SHALL LIVE IN PEACE AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD".
IT IS IN THE LIGHT OF ABOVE THAT GHANA INTELLIGENCE WITHIN THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS HAVE TO WAKE UP SINCE "INTELLIGENCE" IS ALL ABOUT MAKING SOUND AND LOGICAL ANALYSIS THAT CAN LEAD TO ACCURATE PREDICTIONS OF OUTCOME OF EVENTS MEASURED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME", THERETO.
THEREFORE, THERE IS THE NEED FOR "DIPLOMATIC DIALOGUE" TO HELP RESOLVE ALL OUTSTANDING ISSUES AND DIFFERENCES TO HELP IGNITE MUTUAL TRUST BETWEEN BOTH COUNTRIES AND COUNTRIES OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.
GOD BLESS GHANA AND AMERICA.
VERY TRULY YOURS,

some of these people were wrongfully convicted. Many of the prisoners were arrested just because they happened to be Arabs and there was a war going on. A lot of research shows that a lot of them were innocent so I think we should not go crazy thinking anything is going to happen. On top of that, Ghana is not the only country hosting some of these detainees. They have been dispatched all over the world since Obama decided to close Guantanamo. Ghanaians are not saints around the world. if any of you care to do a little bit of research, u will come across of Ghanaian criminals committing crimes in other countries. we cannot be hypocritical. we all want to leave the country but don't want anyone to come to ours.

Mike say it all over again...these bunch of ignoramuses calling themselves enlightened Ghanaians make me want to throw up....as you rightly pointed out, most of those detained after the fall of the TALIBAN, were Arabs who had no connection to terrorism....they were simply picked up by the Northern Alliance a bitter foe of the Taliban at that time and handed over to the Americans who did not do due diligence in terms of finding out who these men really were before shipping them to Gitmo....And you have some like the guy in Legon, Vladimir Antwi Danso spewing ignorance all over the place. It is sad that we have such intellectuals in our midst, misinforming the people and doing so much to make them more ignorant..... And finally,
Ghanaians, too, are criminals. And there is abundant evidence all over the place to prove. What will these ignorant Ghanaians say about the Ghanaian boys who were arrested in Atlanta last year for stealing expensive cars and shipping them to Ghana? Hypocrites.

I really want concern citizens of Ghana to know this how America and their western Allies start wars in Libya and now in Syria.

They send terrorist into your country for them to demonstrate to destroy state properties and when the state or the government forces try to stop them and restore law and order. America and their western liars will say the government is killing his own people.

This is exactly what happen in Libya and Syria so my fellow Ghanaians we should open our minds and learn from the past.

America and their western partners like France and UK always looking for ways and means to destabilise everywhere in world so they enriched their countries.

They say they want peace in Syria why do they support,arm, train and finance rebels or terrorist?
You can never ever trust these so called western nations.
Why they choose Ghana is a question to be think about. Saudi Arabia is there, Bahrain is there, Jordan is there, Kuwait is there,Eygpt is there, Algeria is there ,you name them. So not any Arab countries but our peaceful mother Ghana.?
We need to think and be carefull.

Oh John Mahama! Why are you so useless? You, along with your Ministers and the Council of State lack wisdom. What have we done wrong to deserve such hopeless people parading as our leaders? Why Ghana? How much were you paid by the US to take such a STUPID decision? Why are the Americans desperately bent on getting rid of apparently 'harmless' refugees?

I keep looking at this issue but I can't see were the issue is? the freed Yemenis and a couple of others were found to be innocent. Do we not have a commitment to the Global community, Have we forgotten who we are? so what is the problem if Government takes in people as part of global effort to fight terrorism. Even more important is that we have a commitment to those who are victims of the global effort to fight terrorism because we are not part of it. If we are not part of it then we are part of something and that is what we stand for. peace and acceptance of refugees

You are just a complete and absolute idiot. If they were found to be innocent, why shouldn't they send them to native countries; and why didn't America take them?

If parliament was not involved in this transfer which poses a serious national security challenge, Mahama or whoever authorized this must be impeached!

A sacrifice in order to stay in power
You guys can't read between the lines, the only reason Mahama did this was for NDC own interest. This NDC party has been very corrupt, they are refusing compilation of a new voters register, even a kid knows the rational behind this: they want to rig the elections. What do you think US government will do when NDC rigs the election? Here is the catch, USA will support them and tell Ghanaians to accept the results as it is. Politics can be very dirty, and this is how low politicians can get. Mahama has paid the ultimate price for his stay in office come 2016

Why in Jesus, name will the US not give these terrorists asylum but would rather have someone carry the burden of sheltering them?Anyway are their neighbours in Ghana going to be made aware that their next door neighbours are terrorist?Talking of the U S bearing the cost of their stay, how much do our leaders think that will cost.Nothing but peanuts.Did our leaders think about the security and safety our nation and it,s citzens.And did they think of the potential of terrorist cells emerging in our peaceful land with our kids being recruited. Well I pray my fellow Ghanaians will not forget this insane and senseless decision when they go to the ballot box.Oh Good Lord, please come down to earth and save our country.
