Chinese peoples are very smart... they will come to your country and destroy your land and take all the resources of the land

 Chinese peoples are very smart... they will come to your country and destroy your land and take all the resources of the land... and send them to their country to develop their nation by building good houses, constructing good roads and bridges in their country, they make sure their water bodies are neat for tourist attractions ...

Enough is enough...




Now all our waterbodies are destroyed by them (CHINESE) and the SMALL CHIEFS IN THE PALACE and those in the villages...

THE MONEY WE CAN USE TO BUY BEDS AND DONATE TO HOSPITALS, ONE PERSON USES FOR JET PER HOUR...

Sika Dwa Kofi is angry and if you did not take care he will strike...

W/R: Operation Halt II destroys about 20 excavators, several other equipment

 

Operation Halt II takes anti galamsey fight to Western Region; destroys about 20 excavators


Operation Halt II has begun its Western Region operation with a bang

- It destroyed several excavators and other illegal mining equipment along Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers

- It comes a day after President Akufo-Addo declared his full support for the operation

Operation Halt II has destroyed several excavators along the Ankobra, Bonusu, and Bonsa Rivers in the Western Region.

Made of three units of the Ghana Armed Forces—the 2nd and 5th Infantry Battalions and the 64th Infantry Regiment, Operation Halt II began its Western Region operation on Thursday, May 27, 2021.

The team is being supported by personnel drawn from the Ghana navy, air force, Southern Command, 48th Engineers’ Regiment, and the Support Service.

The operation is expected to end on Saturday 29 May.

According to a report sighted on Asaaseradio.com, the team destroyed two washing machines and floating platforms on the Bonusu River, and 18 excavators along the Rivers Ankobra and Bonsa.

“Ten changfans and two water pumping machines sited along the Bonsa River were also destroyed,” the outlet reported citing a source close to the operation.

“The Operation Halt II team, led by Lieutenant Colonel Prince Tandoh, located and destroyed one excavator, 100 changfan machines, 20 water pumping machines, four motorbikes, and other illegal mining equipment on a site close to the Ankobra River,” the source added.

Operation Halt II’s latest invasion of illegal mining sites in the Western Region comes a day after President Akufo-Addo endorsed the burning of excavators and other equipment confiscated at these mining sites.

“The presence of ‘changfans’ in water bodies is illegal, as is the unlawful use of excavators in protected forest zones,” President Akufo-Addo said on Wednesday, May 26, 2021, during the sod-cutting ceremony for the construction of the first phase of the “Law Village”.

“The devastation caused by this equipment is nothing short of evil and we should not compromise in our efforts to protect our environment, forest reserves, and water bodies.”

In other news, uneasy tension is brewing at Amanase, a community near Suhum along the Accra-Kumasi highway.

News reaching  adansiweb.xyz indicates that some irate youth of the community have blocked the highway in protest of reckless driving after a speeding vehicle crushed an elderly man to death.

They burnt tyres during the spontaneous protest, causing massive vehicular traffic.

According to a report sighted on Starrfm.com.gh, the speeding vehicle crushed the man to death whilst he was crossing the road at about 7:30 pm.

The “man’s mortal remain was shredded and littered on the road,” the report noted.

The irate youth created unbearable gridlock on the highway for close to an hour until the arrival of armed police to the scene.

They reportedly had to resort to the firing of warning shots to disperse the raging youth and clear the road to traffic.

Adansihene denies allegations he is neck-deep in galamsey

 


Adansiman Progressive Association (APA), a pro-development group aimed at driving home infrastructure for the well-being of locals within the Adansi enclave, has accused the Paramount Chief of involvement in galamsey.

The group says its claims are pivoted on the current state of water bodies in Adansi as it explains the major river that serves as the only source of water for people of Adansi, River Gyemi, has now been destroyed.

This situation, the group fears, could lead to a looming acute water crisis.

Speaking on Akoma FM‘s current affairs and political show GhanAkoma on Thursday, May 20, Organiser for APA Akwasi Aboagye told host of the show that “our investigation and series of checks have revealed that Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II is neck-deep in the very menace Otumfuo and President Nana Akufo-Addo have been preaching against”.

He further indicated that “on March 22, a team of police together with section of the Adansi Progressive Association arrested some artisans at a mining site”.

“After the arrest, the miners alleged that the site they are working belongs to Adansimanhene. Aside that incident, we have factual proof that point fingers at the Omanhene for his involvement in galamsey. So we will call on the Overlord of Ashanti Kingdom Otumfuo Osei Tutu II to swiftly intervene and save the water bodies in Adansi and its adjoining communities.”

Meanwhile, Adansimanhene Opegya Kotwere Bonsrah Afiyie II has refuted the allegations.

He made this clear at a press conference at the his palace in Fomena.

Public interest advocate Frank Aboagye Danyansah, who is also a native of Adansi, has also shot down the allegations.

He goes on to allege that the convener of APA, Akwasi Aboagye, is alien and should not be taken seriously.

Mr Danyansah explained that “I am not sure this so-called Akwasi Aboagye is a true native of Adansi because he won’t have tarnished the image of his paramount chief. Again, he is even an embattled member of the Adansi Progressive Association because the executives have expelled him on grounds of extortion and impersonation, a man without credibility. Why must you even give him such a big platform to perpetrate lies?” he quizzed.

Mr Aboagye Danyansah urged the public to disregard the palpable lies of Akwasi Aboagye and treat it with the contempt it deserves because Adansimanhene is a true patriot who wouldn’t go against the orders of Asantehene and the president.
