Every year, thousands of people from all over the world, including African-Americans, travel to Ghana to take advantage of the greatest tourism experience the nation has to offer. Are you considering traveling to this friendly nation on Africa's west coast as well? As a writer from Ghana, this article will provide you with enough information and make your visit to that West African hospital joyful and fulfilling.

 

One of the most easily accessible and secure travel destinations in West Africa is Ghana, which offers a wealth of historical and cultural activities, as well as several outdoor experiences, stunning hotels, dining options, and fascinating sites to see. It takes more than one day to tour Ghana; in addition to Accra, there are other regions to visit.

 

Learning more about the people's culture, traditions, and legacy can be facilitated by engaging in an enjoyable experience. There are many locations to explore, including the Aburi Gardens, Atimpoku, and Akosombo, where you may learn about plants and how the inhabitants use them for medicinal purposes. Other enjoyable activities that tourists can partake in while exploring include boat cruises, kayaking, swimming, shopping, and sightseeing.

 

Traveling doesn't always mean unwinding; some trips immerse you in the past. Cape Coast Castle, which stands steadfastly on Ghana's Atlantic coast, is one such location. Every visitor to West Africa should see this scene at least once in their lifetime; it is both tragic and beautiful.

 

Swedish traders constructed Cape Coast Castle in the 17th century, and the British later strengthened and enlarged it. It developed into one of the most well-known locations for the transatlantic slave trade. Even though slavery was abolished decades ago, the hushed echoes of suffering, fortitude, and survival reverberate through its walls. The remnants of slavery are still visible in Ghana today.

 

The "door of no return” is the last point of the dungeon where the journey of the transportation of slaves begins. Thousands of enslaved Africans were shipped from Africa to the United States of America. Today, people from all over the world come to visit the place where their ancestors were illegally and forcefully captured and taken to wealthy nations to work as slaves. 

 

It is not a lighthearted experience to see the Cape Coast Castle, as the tour guide leads you through gloomy, oppressive dungeons where hundreds of people were crammed together without hope, light, or fresh air. Additionally, you will see the governor's quarters, the women's dungeon, and the castle museum, which houses documents, relics, and photographs from the time.

 

Cape Coast Castle, however, is about more than simply grief; it's also about remembering, overcoming, and rediscovering. It serves as a site of spiritual meditation for many tourists, particularly Africans and persons of African origin. It is a sobering and transforming experience to stand on those stones, listen to the waves crashing, and tread the same trails as those who were taken.

The Kakum National Park

Tourists who do not visit "The Kakum National Park," a 360-square-kilometer semi-deciduous rain forest located north of Cape Coast in Ghana's Central Region, will find their trip to the country meaningless or lacking. With its well-known canopy walk that offers an aerial perspective of the rainforest, the park is a good choice for backpackers seeking a distinctive experience.

 

Although there is a good chance of seeing monkeys and interesting bird species during the stroll through the lush forest, large game is not to be expected. You may enjoy the peace because admission is affordable. There aren't many camping alternatives, and there aren't many inexpensive places to stay; you might have to commute and stay in neighboring towns.

 

Previously administered by the Forestry Department to harvest timber, the park is today a popular tourist destination. Thanks to the Scientific Research Team that carried out wildlife studies and determined that the location is suitable for tourism, bringing the timber harvesting to an end. Elephants, bongos, duikers, antelopes, and a diverse range of birds are among the stunning species that can be observed.

 

Taking part in the canopy walking at Kakum National Park

Nearly four hundred species of butterflies have been discovered by the nation's natural scientists, and two that are unique to the country have been found. Join folks strolling along the Kuntan route in the forest. The park of trees, plants, and traditional medicines is reached by following the trail. The Kuntan tree is one of the trees discovered. The tree's skin is used to heal broken bones. "Uapacca Guiniensis" is its scientific name.

 

Other materials include "Bediwunia" (incest) for pomade and fumigation, and Kaku, the wood used to build railroad lines. The guides meticulously explain the meaning of each tree as you traverse the two-kilometer guided walk around the park. Please don't worry about where to take a rest when you're worn out and overworked.

 

There are resting points that have been thoughtfully constructed using some of the forest's wood. One crucial element is that nothing on the trail may be removed, no matter how lovely it may be. The trail walk often lasts two hours because of the explanations given to the tourists by the guides.

 

The administration block features a wonderful display of the elephant's skull, the bongo's horn, and several butterfly species. Restaurants and the African gift shop, which features local artwork, are open to travelers. The drive to Kakum National Park is not complicated. Immediately behind Jukwa, a tiny rural community, the enormous signboard proclaims, "You are welcome to Kakum National Park."

Why Clinton, Obama, Bush And Gates Deserve Prison, Not Trump

 

Donald Trump hasn't committed any serious crime as the president of the United States of America, more than Obama, Clinton, Bush, and Gates

This morning, I stumbled upon an article captioned ‘Yates spars with GOP at testy hearing,’ in ‘THE HILL,’ an online news media. The article is about investigations into Trump’s relationship with Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.

 .

Considered as a crime, ‘THE HILL,’ has now created a poll, requesting a response, “Should Donald Trump Be In Prison?"

Donald Trump doesn't deserve to go to prison because he hasn't committed any crime.

Frankly speaking, I wasn’t surprised to read such an article at all because politics in America is not only a dirty game, as people know, but also full of hate, lies, deceptions, and hypocrisy.

 

What is the biggest error or sin that Donald Trump has committed to be going to prison when American leaders such as George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, who committed serious crimes against humanity, are enjoying their freedom with impunity today?

I have said it before, and I don't think this will be the last time. America is a country where citizens care much about political issues and crimes taking place in the country, but not outside of America. 

As an African writer who also cares about political issues and crimes committed by the US presidents in Africa, I will be the first person to bring out the crimes of what each of the people in the above photo did; therefore, the need for them to be in prison is necessary.

I am still in contact with my best friends, the Dutch scientist, Johan van Dongen, despite being sick for a while now, and the German, Dr. Wolff Geisler. To the best of my knowledge, I don't have any documents from them relating to crimes by Donald Trump.

George Bush

But I have documents about Bush, his lies and deception by convincing the world that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, which wasn't true. He falsely invaded Iraq with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to kill the Iraqis, including women and children.

That wasn't the only crime committed by George Bush.  During the first three weeks of the 2003 Iraq conflict, the U.S. military committed egregious war crimes using radioactive weapons. 

The US and British governments used radioactive weapons on the Iraqis, leading to deformity in babies in the country.

Even though the Pentagon pledged never to use this technology again, the military command went ahead anyway in the 2003 Iraq conflict, deploying missiles loaded with depleted uranium (DU).

Bill Clinton

Africa is a continent that has experienced much political unrest, ethnic violence, and war, as a means of achieving goals, yet only a few are aware that foreign powers or external forces are often behind or instigate political violence in Africa.

 

Hundreds of articles have been written about the Rwanda genocide, but enough information hasn't been provided linking Bill Clinton's administration and Belgium to the genocide. About the latter, I read it in the book called 'The Shadow Of The Sun' by a Polish journalist called Ryszard Kapuscinski.

 

Barack Obama

Barack Obama is an unfortunate president of the United States of America, not because of his color or being a Black man. As the president of America, whether Black or white, he has to follow the American Constitution.

He, therefore, callously triggered the biological weapon of Ebola simultaneously in the West African countries of Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone, and together with the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, they lied that bats are responsible for the spread of Ebola in Africa.

Meanwhile, the same hemorrhagic fever named Ebola, because it first occurred on the banks of the River Ebola in Congo, in 1976, had also appeared simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967.

Bill Gates

 

Bill Gates, the man I will describe as 'a wolf in sheep's clothing,' has the whole world in his hand and determines who must live and die. With his millions, Gates preys on poor countries in the world, especially in Africa, under the assumption that he is curing diseases on the continent.

What Gates actually does with the World Health Organization is control the population of the world. New contaminated drugs manufactured in the United States of America are not used by Americans. He uses Africans as guinea pigs in experimenting with drugs and vaccines.

Some of these drugs' and vaccines' reactions are fatal because they give birth to new diseases for new vaccines to be manufactured for maximum profits, while some of the vaccines render young women infertile to have children.

Apart from the documents I have about Bill Gates' clandestine crimes in Africa, the leaders of North Korea and Russia, Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, also accused Bill Gates of testing and spreading Ebola in Africa.

Conclusion

Unless you are a heartless man, someone without conscience and integrity, you can admit that Trump deserves to go to prison after reading this article. 

Verily verily, I say unto Americans, Democrats, and Republicans that without putting an end to your lies, crimes, biological weapons, deceptions, and the hypocrisy in politics, there will be no room for the coronavirus to subside in the United States of America.

WHY DONALD TRUMP IS NOT THE WORST AMERICAN PRESIDENT

All the predecessors of Trump, Obama, Clinton, and Bush committed crimes against humanity during their tenure, so what makes them special from Trump?

American political opponents and the media houses, including CNN, want the world to believe that Donald Trump is the worst American president in the political history of the United States of America. This cheap 'philosophy' can only be accepted by those with mediocre minds.

As an African writer, I have a different opinion. From the time independence swept through the continent of Africa, no American leader had the interest to help Africa grow. Each American leader follows the policies of the constitution to oppress Africa, destabilizing the continent's economy and creating difficulties for the common people.

Before the American media accuse Trump of racism or being an inefficient leader unable to handle the coronavirus pandemic, I want to ask them, before the coronavirus, there had been other pandemics such as HIV/AIDS and Ebola; why did the media fail to criticize Obama or other presidents for poorly handling HIV/AIDS and Ebola in Africa?

What American leaders can't stand is exactly what they do to others. All over the world, including in Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Libya, Rwanda, Congo, etc., there is indelible carnage. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all committed crimes against humanity when they were in office.

Bill Clinton is partly responsible for the Rwanda genocide, while George W. Bush invaded Iraq and killed the citizens, including women and children, without any evidence that Saddam Hussein had any weapons of mass destruction.

The media and politicians full of hate are only using the brutal murder of George Floyd as a weapon to discredit the administration of Trump, hoping that it can be a catalyst to make Trump's dream of a second term in office illusory.

"You are now accusing Trump of racism, calling him racist. My question is, before the death of George Floyd, what did the predecessors of Trump, including George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, do about the institutionalized racism in the country?" - Joel Savage.

Despite the media claiming they have qualified health journalists, how many of them have been bold enough to investigate how HIV/AIDS, Burkitt's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, nodding disease, and Ebola appeared in Africa after slavery, colonial brutalities, and apartheid?

Before Donald Trump became president, previous American presidents, together with the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control, deliberately inflicted cancerous diseases on African populations through vaccination and food, but we didn't hear from any media reporting about those medical crimes.

But today, as China has opened the hell gates of biological weapons on the world's population, taking its drastic toll on the United States of America, political opponents, the media, and anti-Trump forces have risen against him with cheap accusations.

In 2014, when the US government under Barack Obama triggered Ebola biological weapons in the three West African countries of Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia, murdering thousands of people, angry Americans shut down all entries to the country, including airports. 

They were angry with Obama, not because of the deliberate killings of innocent people in West Africa, but because of the fear that the Ebola virus would find its way into America. However, what people don't often think about is that what one fears most is exactly what happens to them. 

The Pentagon for decades had been operating secret biological weapon programs and often using them on populations, especially in third-world countries, but today, they are reaping the evil they have sown at the hands of China. Unfortunately, it's the innocent people who suffer.

I used to think that politics in advanced countries was clean until I realized that the dirty game is full of lies, hypocrisy, and hate everywhere in both developed and developing countries. Without truth and honesty, nobody should ever dream of a better world. We are not yet free from an unseen doom. 

"Many more we have to suffer, many more we have to die; don't ask me why." - Bob Marley.

REVENGE OF THE GHOST OF MUAMMAR QADHAFI AGAINST AMERICA?

Former Libyan leader Muammar Qadhafi 

On October 20, 2011, people around the world watched on their screens the images of a bloody man who was lynched by a hysterical crowd. A few moments later, two swollen bodies lying next to each other, on dirty mattresses placed on the floor, were also shown to the world. 

The bodies were the Libyan leader, Muammar Qadhafi, and his son Al-Mu'tasim-Billah al-Qadhafi.

The event marks the end of a bombing campaign against Libya by NATO forces and the ground battles of their occasional allies, the Libyan revolutionaries, who, it will later turn out to be were fundamentalists and jihadists, but the West - Paris, London, Brussels, and even the UN Secretary-General welcome the new era of Libya. 

Why is Africa never allowed to grow despite all the resources on this big continent? Qadhafi was described as a megalomaniac and bloodthirsty dictator, whose relatives were enriched by diverting the country's oil wealth to the detriment of the Libyan people. He was also accused as a sponsor of international terrorism.

This is what the world was forced to believe about Gaddafi, described to be a monster and Qadha the reasons for the fatal war that the NATO powers have to wage against his country. 

Do we have to believe the US government, NATO forces, and their allies that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, yet when the Iraqi leader was captured and killed, nothing was found?

Well, it is now part of world history that George W. Bush and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair were the two biggest liars and friends.

However, before the death of Muammar Qadhafi, on April 5, 2011, in Tripoli, Muammar Qadhafi  poured out these emotional words, I prefer to call it ‘The Lamentations Of Qadhafi.”        :

For 40 years, or perhaps more, I have done all I can to give the people homes, hospitals, schools, and when they were hungry, I gave them food. I transformed Benghazi from a desert into fertile land. I resisted the attacks of the cowboy Reagan when trying to kill me; he killed an orphan, my adopted daughter, a poor, innocent child.

I have helped my African brothers and sisters with money for the African Union. I have done everything to help the people understand the concept of true democracy, in which the popular committees govern our country.

For some, this was never enough; people who had 10-room houses, rich clothing, and furniture. Selfish as they are, they asked for more at the expense of others; they were always dissatisfied and told the Americans and other visitors that they wanted democracy and freedom.

They did not want to realize that it is a cutthroat system, where the biggest dog devours everything. They were enchanted by these words, not realizing that in the USA, there were no free medicines, free hospitals, free houses, free education, and guaranteed food. 

For them, nothing I did was enough, but for the others, I was the son of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the only true Arab and Muslim leader we had since Saladin, a man who returned the Suez Canal to his people as I have Libya has claimed for my people. 

It was his footsteps that I tried to follow, to keep my people free from colonial rule, from the raiders who would like to rob us. Now I am under attack from the greatest military force in history. 

My little African son, Obama, wants to kill me, take away our country's freedom, our free homes, our free medicine, our free education, our safe food, and replace it with the US-style thief called capitalism. But we all in the Third World know what that means. It means that businesses govern countries, the world, and that people suffer.

So there is no alternative for me, I have to resist and, if Allah wills, I will die following the way, the way that has enriched our country with fertile fields, food, health, and has even allowed us to help our African and Arab brothers to work here with us in Libyan Jamahiriya.

I don't want to die, but if I had to get there, to save this land, my people, the thousands of my children, then it may be. Let this testament be my voice to the world, say that I opposed the attacks of the NATO crusaders, cruelty, betrayal, the West and its colonialist ambitions, that I resisted together with my African brothers, my real Arab and Muslim brothers.

I tried to shed some light when buildings were being built elsewhere; I lived in a modest house and a tent. I have never forgotten my youth in Sirte, I have not wasted our national wealth, and like Saladin, our great Muslim leader who saved Jerusalem for Islam, I took little for myself.

Captured Muammar Qadhafi

In the West, someone called me crazy and insane. They know the truth, but continue to lie. They know that our land is independent and free, not subject to colonialism. They know that my vision and my path have always been honest and in the interest of my people. They know that I will fight to the last breath to keep us free. God help us.

The lynching of Muammar Qadhafi

Six months after pouring out this lamentation, Gaddafi was captured and brutally murdered. Libya is now in ruins, and ISIS jihadists are resisting in the city, while a good part of the Libyan population is facing chaos and regret. 

In life, you will only miss your water when your well runs dry. This is a lesson to all African leaders easily deceived by the developed world. We are never loved because of the colour of our skin, but loved because of what they get from Africa.

Qadhafi is not alive to see America today, the country that callously and jealously generated his assassination because of his power and wealth. However, in life, people shouldn't take things for granted. Whatever evil people do to others shall be rewarded in another way or the other.

Gates’ Prediction Of 33 Million Deaths Makes Him A Suspect Of The Coronavirus

Bill Gates' generosity has covered up his medical crimes in third-world countries.

Microsoft chairman Bill Gates predicted a massive epidemic of infectious disease that would kill millions of people. In an interview with Vox in 2015, he said that he had assembled a group of researchers that was supposed to simulate a possible infectious catastrophe.

Researchers concluded that if a disease like Spanish flu spreads in 250 days, 33 million people will die worldwide. “In terms of the spread of disease, we have created the most dangerous environment in the history of mankind,” Gates said.

Asking the question of what could kill more than 20 million people in the next 20 years, Gates considered several options. And he concluded that the scenarios of disaster films are unlikely. 

A large-scale earthquake, volcanic eruption, or asteroid crash is unlikely to destroy humanity. The danger of nuclear war, according to Gates, is also quite small.

Gates also compared the losses in the two world wars with the number of deaths from the Spanish flu. As it turned out, the Spaniard claimed more lives in the 20th century.

As Vox authors note, humanity is aware of the dangers of a pandemic, thinks about it, and is afraid of it. “We talk so much about this - it’s even funny that we are not ready for such a development of events. 

And we are not ready, as was the case with Ebola,” the newspaper notes.

According to Gates, in the current environment, the consequences of a pandemic or infectious disease will be much more catastrophic than the consequences of the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918-19. Then, 550 million people were infected. 

"Today, in just 60 days, the disease will spread to cities around the world. There hasn’t been a flu-like that with the Spanish flu," Gates said.

This is due to more free movement: today, 50 times more people cross state borders than a hundred years ago. In addition, some diseases become known after they kill a large number of people. So it was with Ebola. 

Experts are sure: if the outbreak of this disease occurred in the United States, it would be done away with more quickly. But it happened in Africa. “Guinea did not want to acknowledge the epidemic because it would be a death sentence for investment and the tourism industry,” Gates said.

The Ebola epidemic began in Guinea in 2014. Then the disease spread to neighboring countries, but little everyone knew that Bill Gates and the US government, under Obama’s administration, the Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization were responsible for the biological weapon in West Africa and the Republic of Congo simultaneously.

They actually lied and deceived the world with a host of deceitful scientists, doctors, medical personnel, and fake media, including the BBC and CNN, that bats are responsible for the spread of the disease in Africa.

Under the pretext of developing Africa, improving the fragile medical situation on the continent, and reducing poverty, Bill Gates clandestinely uses Africans as guinea pigs in testing new drugs manufactured by American pharmaceutical companies before making them available in the market, especially in third-world countries.

In fact, Bill Gates has escaped all medical crimes he has committed in third-world countries, especially in Africa, because of the mainstream media, praising his philanthropic works, instead of exposing his criminal activities.

However,  President Putin warned that Bill Gates is “experimenting” on Congolese villagers, infecting them with a rare strain of the Ebola virus, and that research and development of “Ebola as a bioweapon” have been quietly recommended in a remote corner of the troubled African nation.

Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, was also another world leader who accused the US government of experimenting with Ebola in Africa. 

Just five years after Gates predicted a pandemic that would be disastrous, the coronavirus has hit the world, claiming the lives of thousands of people around the world, making him the public suspect number one.
