Stop that ecological depredation of the last strands of protective vegetation in that area.

Peace!

Civic ignorance is the major hindrance to our progress, there are channels to register grievances but it is ignored, and people appointed to deal with grievances either don't care or don't have a clue. Asem ooo

At one point they were talking of the people operating illegally and another point saying they have been permittedto cut by forestry commission.Anyway felling is alrwady on going and this is where some of us thibk SADA should be innovative in the way they do things.Who have ever thought that one day timber will or some trees will be demanded in the internayional market and can only be found in the north? there are many of such tree species.THERE ARE SERIOUS ECONOMIC PROSPECTS IF SADA IS WELL PACKAGED TOWARDS TREE GROWING IN THE NORTH.

Why should Ghanaian authorities allow timber contractors to cut down tress in savanna Forest? We have animals who have no human brains governing Ghana.

There should be re-planting of trees in the savanna forest instead of cutting down the trees. Do these useless authorities want to turn savanna into desert land?

Bawku youth should take the law into their hands to stop these enemies of our environment whom I will describe as "environmental terrorist". Stop them !! Don't let them destroy our savanna environment.

We have useless and ignorant government officials who will receive bribe for environmental terrorists to destroy our land. STOP THESE TERRORISTS NOW !!!

What else has con man John Mahama and his notorious NDC hasn't sold in Ghana? If previous leaders had sold Ghana, would John Mahama found Ghana as a nation worthy to govern?

Either John Mahama and his NDC stealing machinery ignorant or wicked men who are determined to destroy Ghana. I applaud Bawku youth action. Ghana Education service should design environmental course from grade one to University level for students to study. It is the new generation who will save the planet and our environment.

Bawku youth , keep up the good fight.

For your information, Mahama and his NDC friends are the ones selling Rosewood. People don't know about it but do your research well and you will discover the truth.

Oh, Forestry Commission, why are you doing this to the environment you were created to protect. Arrest all the Forestry officials, if they wont stop the rape of our forests for their greed.

NDC has been disappointing with respect to law enforcement. Take galamsey, illegal structures all over the country, land grab by officials, misuse of govt vehicles, snatching all the beautiful girls etc.

Sadly, most of those guilty for the above crimes are NPP supporters except misuse of govt vehicles. So are we to fly from the frying pan straight into the fire? Certainly we must fear NPP more than HIV & Ebola combined.

My father used to tell us that he had very good Kusasi friends who used to tend his cocoa farm. Because of that he traveled to Kusasi country in the colonial era and saw how patriotic they were. He said they were gallant supporters of Nkrumah and in the fight for independence and later the Kusasis were key in getting British Togoland to join Ghana in the 1956 plebiscite. I am therefore not surprised these youth are keeping up patriotic spirit.

Shame to the government if they don't intervene.

thank God there are still some youth with sanity in this Zongoyire chiefdom that don't conive with this hungry politicians to destroy everthing that is of benefit to the community. Those destiny ruiners who have nothing good to offer us.We are now tired of them and should be ready to sacrifice our last drop of blood to protect our intigrity.Because there seems to be no tomorrow for us.Unnecessary fear is what is keeping us backwards some of our youth are educated though but their education is been polluted with politics n stupidity to the extend that they can't utter even a word to protect their integrity. Thanks so much to those who have boldly come to fight tirelessly for the right of all we are strongly behind you.Fight till the end, fight for your integrity,fight without a regret, fight without withdrawing until you are declared a winner. May God reward you with your braveness.
