U don't understand the news, they were having a two hour drill when they spotted the guy loitering around the embassy, they noticed he was holding a knife and attempted to enter the embassy, before they arrested and disarmed him, they noticed he threw something like bag behind the embassy wall, out of curiosity and caution, they used dogs to sniff the bag and their reactions showed it contained explosives, so they detonated the explosives and samples were taken for a lab test, so it was a real scenario that unfolded during the drill, not acting.

Kosi, our sovereignty has long been sold off with the oil deal we signed......and by allowing such a size of an embassy to be built on our land to be the base for AFCOM. The military response of the US marines in Africa.

The deal was down under Kuffour....please go check your facts. So, Kosi we have already given our sovereignty away, long, long time ago.

We are still slaves in our own free land.

Trump's racist policies are enough to make the USA watch its back. The USA is not as strong and as powerful as it claims to be. It was humiliated by the North Vietnamese and it will be humiliated once again very soon! And Trupm as president has divided the country and made it more vulnerable to attacks. And it will happen.

Nkrumah please go check your facts and be enlightened before you jump on the Trump bashing bandwagon.......

Obama and Hilary, and their globalists paymasters have rather divided the US.

Trump the wise man, used less money to win the elections. Hilary on the other hand had the backing of the elitists who hate all others, especially the middle class to be rich. Plus the support of the entire US media.

There were 4000 deaths black-on-black, in Chicago (Obama's city) alone, in 2016 whilst Obama was busy droning the Talibans in Pakistan, Yemen and Afghanistan......did you know that or not? Did that divide the country because he was bombing muslims? Has Trump ever bombed any muslims?

Please wake up and be real and stop jumping on the bandwagon of the real rascists like Hilary who hide behind the Democratic party to lure blacks for votes and yet do nothing for them in the inner cities.......

Tell me what the Democrats have done for black people apart from supplying them with drugs in their hoods. Wake up Nkrumah! Your name doesn't even fit your narration of world events......

Because of your greediness Ghana armed forces is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The Ghana armed forces high command is too corrupt to the extend that they can't be rated. Every officer has open his vocal cavity to its maximum only to swallow everything that will come in the institution. Poor condition of troops, Accommodation problems, lack of logistics and other important material needed by the troops. Yet these fools who call themselves officer squander everything from the government.

I was at the US Embassy in Accra at 10 am when the public address system announced that a combined Military exercise involving US marines and Ghanaian armed forces was about to take place at the embassy compound.

We were told that explosions will be heard, but there's no need to worry because it's only an anti terrorist drill, the man with a knife incident may have been an isolated incident which had no connection to the military operation.

Joint military drills are conducted globally in order to keep millitary forces battle ready and in a proactive combat mode.
