The recent military takeovers in some West African countries have caught the attention of lawmakers in Ghana. Guinea, Mali and Burkina Faso have seen coup d’états in the past couple of weeks.
Coups in Africa
Just this week, there was an attempted coup in Guinea Bissau.
MP for North Tongu and Ranking Member on the Foreign Affairs Committee, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa made a statement on the floor of the House in relation to the rather unfortunate situation.
He stated that it is a wake up call to African Leaders to begin to re-examine their roles and how the situation could be averted.
This generated interest from other MPs who also condemned the occurrences.
