Save Ghana’s modern slaves

8_10-21a_Bgal_tcm15-37513 — *Just as the 18th century slave trade was about the abuse of economic power and foreign control, so international trading relations between rich and poor countries is much the same today.*
*Is this trading injustice just a modern day slave trade?*
In Ghana, as in many developing countries, 70% of people earn their living from agriculture. Unfair trade rules forced on poor countries by the World Bank and IMF are having a disastrous effect on local farmers and are putting many of them out of business.

Fool’s Gold – Africa Investigates – Al Jazeera English.

Ghana is the second-largest producer of gold on the continent and is now home to a large network of gold fraudsters. Investors have lost millions at their hands.

However lets call a spade a spade, Dear Anas Aremeya Anas enjoy your 25 min of fame courtesy of Al Jazeera, you want to have a foot hold on real investigative journalism I’ll tell you where to start, start with the system that allows the multimillion $$ mining industries to mine all they want and give 10-15% of the proceeds to your Dear country,…..

Investigate how the villages where billions of $$ worth of precious metals are being dug out, pollute the water bodies, do not build any hospitals nor and good roads dusty roads where expats drive 100kmph villagers suffering from respiratory diseases killing the very poor citizens who own the land only to be called illegal miners for mining their forefathers land, start by investigating how those multimillion $$ companies shortchange the Govt and declare whatever they care to.

Investigate the land agreements if they are fair.

Investigate how we are being shackled by mental slavery,how we are being denied quality education which would take those potential scam artists into good jobs and out of fraudulent activities.

Investigate why we brought our own brother to the white men as slaves from the hinterlands and sold them for rum and clothing which we were already having.

Investigate why we have the cocoa and we cannot process it here if we do we are slapped with high duty taxes while bringing them into those developed countries that don’t have cocoa, 1000$ for a ton of cocoa have you ever farmed a cocoa farm.

Go to those mining companies and investigate how much is being paid those poor miners and investigate the working conditions and laws guiding the employment contracts.

Investigate why for example would a well meaning speculator buy a kilo of gold for 40k whilst a kilo goes for more than 50k caveat emptor.

I hope the very same people who paid you to do this would also pay you to investigate why Africa is being forced to sign the EPA.

Please investigate why our people are suffering from planned and articulated mental and pressurized attacks from the developed countries please investigate why IMF charges billions of $$ on minimal amount loaned African nations.

Please Investigate why we are forced to pay increased tariffs on electricity before a loan is granted us from IMF.
