The EGLE (Every Ghanaian Living Everywhere) Party has asked the US government to make amends for derailing Ghana's progress through the sponsorship of the 1966 coup d'etat that overthrew the government of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.link FAS
According to Mr Danny Ofori-Atta, chairman of the party, the Central Intelligence Agency's recent declassified files clearly admit the role of the United States played and it was only fair that it made up for causing Ghana's economy to stagnate ever since.
He has, therefore, called for a total cancellation of Ghana's 5bn-external debt and the setting up of "credit guarantee for a private company capitalized with 5bn which will be in the form of a 30-year US Treasury insurance guarantee to back the capital of the private company to be listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange".

Rawlings is not the threat
The greatest threat to Ghana�s stability is not Rawlings, as many perceive the former president to be, but rather the huge amounts of cocaine and heroin that pass through the country as a transit point, according to a Research Fellow at the African Security Dialogue and Research [Dr. Emmanuel Anning].
