Stop The Killing Of Our Youth Abroad, Twifo Darmang Chief Appeals

The Chief of Twifo Darmang, Nana Kwasi Asiedu IV, who is also the Gyasehene for the Twifo Traditional Council, has made a passionate appeal to traditional leaders, opinion leaders, and the President of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, to rise up and speak against the ill-treatment and killing of Ghanaian youth abroad.

According to the Chief, many Ghanaian youth travel to foreign countries in search of greener pastures and better job opportunities, only to face abuse, discrimination and in some cases, death.

He said it is painful to see young Ghanaians who could become future presidents, lawyers, doctors and great leaders of the country lose their lives in foreign lands. He cited the case of Jarvis Frimpong as an example that has broken the hearts of many Ghanaians.

Nana Kwasi Asiedu IV pleaded with the National House of Chiefs, local councils of chiefs, and all opinion leaders in Ghana to stand up together and condemn what is happening to Ghanaians abroad.

In a strong warning, the Chief also advised all Africans, especially Ghanaians living in countries like Canada, the UK, France and other foreign countries, to take very good care of themselves.

He said they should be very vigilant because as Black people, some foreigners may not treat them with respect or value their lives. He urged them to be watchful, protect themselves, and ensure they return home in peace.
