Watch out for them as they are likely to sell out Ghana for anything if they can stoop this low or perhaps it is just there mental character. We ask our Nananom to extricate them from mental slavery.
We're keeping a close eye on them as your assessment is right on point.

Guess what's erected at the entrance to the MLK Center in Atlanta.   He has an entire section dedicated to him inside the center.

Not surprised because MLK's son, MLK III has lead trips to India to visit Gandhi's home and family.

Dear Friends,

I just signed the campaign: Removal of Gandhi statue from MLK Jr. Museum

It would mean the world to me if you could also add your name to this important issue. Every name that is added builds momentum around the campaign and makes it more likely for us to get the change we want to see.

Will you join me by taking action on this campaign?

http://campaigns.organizefor.org/petitions/removal-of-gandhi-statue-from-mlk-jr-museum
After you've signed the petition please also take a moment to share it with others. It's super easy – all you need to do is forward this email.

Thank you!

Kevin

UG Council Supports Decision to Remove Statue of Gandhi!!!



JAN 3, 2017 — Greetings Esteemed and Distinguished Petitioners!

As you know, our petition which garnered an amazing 1911 signatures to date was delivered to Council of the University of Ghana on 21st September 2016! Well, we have an update! In a letter of response by Council to the petitioners dated the 19th December, 2016, Council supported the decision to remove the statue of Gandhi. At this point, we are anticipating and requesting a clear timeline by which the statue – which is a stain on our collective Kmtyw=Black pride, dignity and self-respect – will be removed.

Kindly find the text of the Council’s letter below:

RE: GANDHI'S STATUE AT UNIVERSITY OF GHANA MUST COME DOWN

At the last meeting of Council on 1st December, 2016, Council considered your letter dated 21st September, 2016, petitioning the Council of the University of Ghana to remove from the University of Ghana quadrangle the statute of Mahatma Gandhi.

In discussion, Council noted that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration has in a release, announced that the statue would be relocated outside the University campus.

Council did not object to the decision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration to relocate the statute.

Yours sincerely,
Mercy Haizel-Ashia
REGISTRAR AND SECRETARY TO COUNCIL
cc: Chairman of Council
Vice-Chancellor
Director, Public Affairs

While we press for a clear timeline for removal, continue to educate yourself and others on this issue until and after the statue’s removal. This can be done with slides (linked below) and an educational video for teaching about young and old Gandhi and his numerous anti-Kmtyw/anti-Black actions and words in both South Kmt and India: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iz0oj341lla1xcz/gandhi.pptx?dl=0
https://youtu.be/DnFlqCH3KHI

We thank you for your past and continued support and we look forward to a timely resolution to this matter in alignment with the will of the people!

"The history of Kmt will remain suspended in air and cannot be written correctly until Kmtyw historians connect it with the history of Egypt [...] The Kmtyw historian who evades the problem of Egypt is neither modest or objective, nor unruffled, he is ignorant, cowardly, and neurotic."

Whenever you hear a man saying he wants freedom, but in the next breath he is going to tell you what he won't do to get it, or what he doesn't believe in doing in order to get it, he doesn't believe in freedom. A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire . . . or preserve his freedom." [Mhenga Malcolm X]

So they are moving the statue off campus?  So now you can see it on the way home.  That is insane....

An educator in a system of oppression is either a revolutionary or an oppressor.

So apparently this may be why they are being uncooperative. Whatever business Ghana has with india can go on without an image of gandhi on our campuses...and ministries. This is an excerpt from a news article.

"India has been one of the greatest and closest friends of Ghana... We wish to express our appreciation to India," Mahama stated.
He added: "We are in transition from one government to another and Ghana has consolidated her democratic credentials. We are on the task of completing the transition.
"I'm sure India is going to continue to be a strong and important partner and you are going to get as much cooperation in your new role from the incoming administration."
President Mahama had earlier chaired his last cabinet meeting before receiving the envoys. The meeting was used to wrap up his four-year tenure as president and eight years of the National Democratic Congress administration.
