Wikileaks Ghana: The Aftermath

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO.
a companion of the black star,

Dear Mr. Fredua Dankwa Jr.,

I have been instructed by the Odikro to extend to you the Season's greetings!

I was attracted to this article because of its title. I was disappointed that there was not anything new about wikileaks on Ghana that I did not know already. However, I was handsomely compensated by your sense of humour ans sarcasm. I cannot agree with you more!

On the much awaited news on Ghana from the wikileaks, the most important to date, will have to be the "West African Littoral directive" issued by the Secretary of State, Mrs Clinton. This is the one we should all be looking forward to its release!

So far, the revelations have unravelled what some are describing as a new window on US diplomacy in Africa. And what makes this even more alarming is the militarization of US diplomacy.

Thanks to Wikileaks, we now know that there is a secret order reportedly signed by Clinton, which "directed American diplomats to act as spies around the world against friends and enemies alike”, the revelation said a particular ‘directive’ covered the coastal countries of West Africa which includes Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin.

As Xcroc puts it, "US Embassies are actively engaged in spying on African countries and citizens, collecting:

-- Biographic and biometric data, including health, opinions
toward the US, training history, ethnicity (tribal and/or
clan), and language skills of key and emerging political,
military, intelligence, opposition, ethnic, religious, and
business leaders. Data should include email addresses,
telephone and fax numbers, fingerprints, facial images, DNA,
and iris scans. 09STATE37561" (-by Xcroc)

They are also interested in your passwords!

May God bless us all and protect us from our enemies, because we still love them! Just as we have been instructed to do in the Holy Book!

Happy New Year!

I avail myself of this opportunity, to extend to you, on behalf of the Odikro, Nana Akyea Mensah II, the assurances of our highest consideration.

Forward Ever! Backwards Never!!!

Sincerely,

Pur'gu Saarpe!

Hi Oyokoba!

I have been instructed by the Odikro to extend to you the Season's greetings!

We over here are so impressed by your very brilliant expose as to be dumb-founded. I hope our Lord will give enough wisdom to those who do not see the light to see it before it is too late.

You are making an intervention which is clearly in the truest interest of all Ghanaians and refusing that we do the dirty job for others!

Bravo!

May God richly bless you!

Sincerely,

Pur'gu Saarpe!

Cubans lead campaign
to fight cholera in Haiti (feature article)

BY SETH GALINSKY
The Cuban government has more centers to treat cholera in Haiti than any other government or non-governmental organization there. Now it is greatly expanding its medical mission. An additional 300 doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel are joining the 965 members of the Cuban Medical Brigade, bringing the total Cuban contingent in Haiti to more than 1,200. Cuba is also expanding its 37 medical centers to 49 and adding 1,100 hospital beds.
Two hundred members of the contingent are graduates of Cuba’s Latin American Medical School (ELAM), which trains students from all over the world, including Africa and the United States, free of charge. Hundreds of Haitians have also been trained at the school; many of them are now collaborating with the Cuban medical mission.
As of December 2, an estimated 84,000 Haitians had been infected with cholera; nearly 1,900 have died in the six weeks since the first case was confirmed. The countryside has been much harder hit than the capital city Port-au-Prince.
The group Doctors Without Borders has 30 cholera centers, more than a third of them in Port-au-Prince, with doctors from several European countries. Cuba operates some centers jointly with Doctors Without Borders, the United Nations, and other aid groups.
Most of the Cuban-run centers operate in rural areas, often in the most isolated and difficult to reach parts of the country. The mortality rate for cholera victims treated by the Cuban brigade is less than 1 percent; for the rest of the private, Haitian government, and international-run centers it is about 3 percent.
One Cuban brigade is in L’Ester village, in the Artibonite region where the cholera outbreak began. When health workers there learned that dozens of people in the even more isolated Plateau hamlet were severely ill, they quickly sent nine people, including five doctors and two nurses, to set up a treatment center. Four of the doctors, from Uruguay, Paraguay, Nicaragua, and Haiti, are ELAM graduates.
In a letter to family and friends, published in the on-line CubaDebate, Emiliano Mariscal, describes how the mission functions and why the death rate at the Cuban-run centers is so low. He is an Argentine doctor who graduated from ELAM and is volunteering with the Cuban mission in Haiti.
According to Mariscal, the Cuban brigade has trained 15,000 Haitians on how to deal with the cholera outbreak. In addition, he explains, the Cuban doctors have been in Haiti “without interruption for more than 12 years, generating empathy and confidence among the population that does not exist with other forms of cooperation.”
Mariscal also touches on the powerful example of having a revolutionary workers government in power in Cuba. “The experience of practically 50 years of internationalist action,” he writes, has inspired young people from around the world with the “conception of solidarity” practiced by Cuba.
Cuba’s aid to the Haitian people stands in sharp contrast to the inaction of the U.S. government. A November 15 article on a U.S. State Department Web site said that the U.S. embassy was working to “enhance their surveillance system” in Haiti for reporting cholera cases. In addition Washington is “helping to support seven cholera treatment centers in Port-au-Prince,” the article said. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control will soon be conducting a survey to determine how residents of that city “obtain and store water.”

Comment to: “Dr” Okudzeto Ablakwa Declares President Mills

OFFICE OF THE ODIKRO.
a companion of the black star,

To: Ibrahim Tanko, [CALIFONIA]

Good morning Sir!

I have been instructed by the Odikro to extend to you his fraternal greetings!

I am sure you remember our last telephone conversation when I mistook you for an old friend who used to be the SRC President of the University of Ghana.

I must warn you that I can be very nice, just as I was on the phone, but you should not provoke me, OK? I shall try to be very lenient here. This should be the last time you write nonsense of this sort!

We do not need a doctor to tell us what the President wants to reveal about his conversation with his medical officers! A minister of Information is competent enough to relay to us what the President tells him!

The last time a doctor even tried to make a similar pronouncement, he made a mess of it! Dr. Arthur Kobina Kennedy recently claimed that he knows NPP's flag-bearer, Mr. Nana Akufo Addo so well that he can bet his bottom dollar that he has no cocaine in his blood! That was a doctor.

The story began: "A certified medical practitioner says he can officially state that Nana Addo Danquah Akufo Addo, flag bearer of the opposition NPP does not even have a minute drop of cocaine in his blood."

Speaking on CitiFM’s Big Issues programme, the physician revealed that Nana Addo told him on countless occasions in their private conversations that he has never tasted or sniffed cocaine before.

“Clinically, I can recognize when one is under the influence of drugs but I can confirm that Nana Addo is not a drug addict, I can bet that there is nothing in his blood,” he said.

This is in spite of the fact that the suspect exhibits all the signs of an old junkie such as pre-mature toothlessness and loss of hair on the head. We know these as the visible signs or symptoms of long-term hard drug abuse. How can Arthur Kennedy make such a claim without accounting for Akufo-Addo's completely toothless mouth?

Be careful about what you write next time because I am going to intensify my repartees and make them bite like wild dogs! Is that very clear?

Hoping you are going to take the warning seriously, I avail myself of this opportunity, dear Mr. Tanko, to extend to you, on behalf of the Odikro, Nana Akyea Mensah II, the assurances of our highest consideration.

Sincerely,

Pur'gu Saarpe!
