Unmasking Ghana's Demolition of an African American Community In Ghana!
In this eye-opening video, we delve deep into the shocking events surrounding the demolition of an African American community in Ghana by the Ghanaian government in the Cape Coast Municipality. Join us as we unmask the truth behind this controversial incident and uncover the reasons why such a drastic action was taken.
In recent years, Ghana has become a popular destination for African Americans seeking to reconnect with their African heritage. However, the peaceful coexistence between these communities and the local authorities took a shocking turn when the Ghanaian government decided to demolish one such African American community. The thing is; there is no smoke without fire. In this video, we are going to tell you exactly where the smoke is coming from and how the "fire" can be put out.
A healthy relationship between the African diaspora and Africans is very important for both parties and especially for Africa due to the recent protectionist market system that most countries have instituted.
Acquiring foreign capital as well as foreign markets have become increasingly difficult, thus the diaspora has never been this important. This implies the stakes here are very high.
Our investigation aims to shed light on the motives behind this demolition and explore the impact it has had and would have on the affected individuals and the larger African American community in Ghana. We will be speaking to residents, activists, and experts who have firsthand knowledge of the events leading up to the demolition.
We have also explored the aftermath of the demolition, discussing the implications for both the affected community and Ghana as a whole.

Some of this African leaders go to the world stage and make these popular policies without any thought & planning. Many of our American brothers & sisters who went to Ghana have struggled tremendously in getting the necessary documents to enable them to get their permanent residence. The govt thought that when they announce the policy, African-American millionaires would rush into the country but the opposite was the case and now we are seeing all these crisis, which is a shame, because it’s a wonderful idea and opportunity for both kins in the diaspora and those at home. The policy needs to be fine tuned to make life easy for all. Business policies that would benefit the diaspora is critical, because when they invest in Africa, the don't plan to take their profits out of the continent, unlike the Chinese, Europeans & others.

@BGroupsAfrica-hf1xf 2 месяца назад

You don't know what you are saying. The government made it clear to everybody if you want to buy lands. The necessary agencies. Most of the people take advantage of the cheapness of the lands and go for lands that not registered. When you get involved with scammers. They will sell you these conflicts lands. And in the end you will end up with issues. Go to the appropriate authorities. That's is. Next time you want to write a long speech go.to the source of the issues first. You cannot just go and buy a land without going through dew diligent.

I don't understand why they would demolish the property. If there aren't any problems or issues with the home or whatever that's being demolished, just rent it or lease it to someone else. The reason why they are making a big deal about African American's places going through demolitions, is because they (Western and European countries) are trying to discourage African diasporans from leaving the country they've located in to relocate to Africa. The economy in these other countries would fall if we ALL leave and relocate to Africa. A STRONG MINDED AFRICAN will see through this deception and still leave for Africa. Much love from a diasporan♥♥♥

The crazy part about all if this is, as an Nubian descent we face so much racism here in america. We get charged double here in amrica for everything, not to mention how us and our children are murdered in the streets, so you make the hardest decicion of your life to relocate to Africa, even though we know our own kind hate us! Its really disheartening and scary to make that move, then you get here and face even more racism and hardship from the ppl here, its like saying you have no where on this earth to live, not all of us are millionaires, some of us are kind, hard working individuals that got robbed, and cheated out of so much, then we take what we have left and come to Africa only to get exploited, called names because were not given a fair chance, how can we make all those payments, pay double and triple for everything, get robbed and cheated by your surrounding neighbors, and then say if the americans arent developing in Ghana, or any other country in Africa we dont want you here, GET OUT, then demolish our homes, so now your life savings are gone, its no work for you here, and what you did try to build, they destroyed! WHERE DO WE GO, when no country wants us, HOW DO WE SURVIVE, remind you THE CREATOR is watching his ppl destroy theyte brothas and sistas! Folks are still not reading The Bible, still not following THE LORD COMMANDMENTS, what do you think He's gonna do???

Guys, please understand that there are many African American folks in Ghana who have built empires and their properties have not been demolished. They are doing well. The demolition of properties has nothing to do with where you come from. Ghanaians also face the same problem. My dad lost his land to the government and we are still dragging this issue at the court. If you are African American and you think you are a target then you will be hurting for no reason because it happens to the natives as well.

The Americans in my opinion are just looking looking for public sympathy on the internet and not because they're right.

THE UNIVERSE KNOWS THAT THE SETTLERS NEVER GOT THE LANDS LEGALLY. THEY GOT THERE K****** THE AFRICANS & OWNED THEIR LANDS. IN FACT ONLY AFRICANS & THE AFRICAN DIASPORA ARE QUALIFIED TO HAVE LANDS IN AFRICA. THE MOTHER CONTINENT IS THE NATURAL HOME FOR AFRICANS & AFRICAN DIASPORA & NO ONE ELSE. ANY LANDS OWNED BY ANY NON-AFRICANS WILL BE SEIZED. NON-AFRICANS CAN ONLY RENT BUT CAN NEVER EVER BE OWNERS. EUROPEAN AMERICANS & EUROPEANS CAN BUY & OWN LANDS IN THE UNITED STATES & EUROPE & NO WHERE ELSE. BUT THE ONLY CONTINENT THEY'RE QUALIFIED TO OWN LANDS IS EUROPE & NOWHERE ELSE.

@reginaldcarter3248 Месяц назад

If they did not pay (5000 Cedis is not that much, less than $350.00 USD), the government should have taken the property (foreclosed) and sold it to someone else. It actually cost more to demolish property and clear the land than it does to resell it or lease it. If the government is wrong, they need to do a better job with record keeping to prevent this from happening to others in the future. Also, buyers should always keep good records to prove their purchase.
