If the original occupants of Ghana didn't sell the Americans, Canadians and Caribbeans ancestors for literal bottles of wine, outdated guns and European styled hats maybe they wouldn't be in this situation to begin with.
this is stupid logic by you adn those who dapped you
you dont know if those people are Ghanian by dna, and IF they are, you dont know of they descended from those who captured and sold slaves themslves
too many assumptions in your comment
Furthermore, the mixed population in these english speaking countries is growing. So you all need to sort out your collective lives because as a group you're moving confused
Are you breeding out or passport brothering/sistering?

I was told to take advantage of the return home movement. This is how they feel about us?
Ain't you one on the Mount Rushmore of pawgers on here? What do the pawgs have to say?
So another Liberia
that's what some in this thread are looking for by hwo they are posting
Even though Liberia is more complicated than what's on the surface
Public policy is about planning ahead of time. Public policy is an important discussion to have when planning a community before that community exists. You do not wait for the pandemic or recession or flood or social unrest to be at your doorstep before having the discussion.
Case in point is the sloppy plan by the chief in the story in this thread. Good intentions poor planning. Same could be said for the lady politician's plan to stop public defication by fining poor people in the npr story. Good intentions , but poor planning.
Before enacting public policy you need to predict the affect on existing community stakeholders and plan accordingly. That's why a public policy of inviting folks from a foreign place, with foreign values is worth discussing. Even here in America, they don't just drop Ukrainians or Afghanis in Cleveland and send them on their way. There are integration programs, citizenship programs to indoctrinate them on local values, meetings with lawyers to discuss estate planning, language lessons, social workers, etc.
I'm not seeing any of this incredibly necessary planning in the Ghana project based on the story above or the overarching year of return concept. The mere fact than guns may have been pulled out in a petty rural dispute makes that evident.
As a sidenote, you don't need seats in parliament to control an economy or political system as an outsider.
Look at the indians in Kenya/Uganda/TZ or whites in SA, or Lebanese in ivory Coast or Arabs in the sahel or Chinese in Namibia. These folks have incredible pull over their societies and marginal representation in govt.
A single American after a mediocre career here in America has more economic capital than most of the individuals in these other foreign groups on day one of arriving, especially when you consider their access to low interest American debt markets. That's more than enough to manipulate domestic affairs to the detriment of natives .

There have been a number of mysterious deaths of expats in West Africa, particularly single women. A couple of women made videos on YT about the hostility they face there and one of them I watched recently passed after claiming locals were on her top. Not sure how credible he is but JT the Bigga Figga use to always make videos about how scandalous it was as an expat in WAfrica
Good podcast that explains how/why places like Ghana have poor institutions like ding ding ding land rights
And it is designed that way on purpose.
Plenty of other places not only in Africa but the world where expats from the "west" move to the "global south" and it causes minimal friction because the institutions are strong and not willfully designed to extract value in a one-way relationship.
Its an awful business environment and they know people look at them as "innocent poor natives" so they use that to their advantage to deceive and scam.

yea this def seems to be the case. from government officials to everyday locals it seems like you constantly have to be worried about getting finessed. I saw a video where a dude got finessed out of money while renewing a visa at an official government office. Operating in an environment where you can't even trust lawyers and civil servants must be wild
A majority of the TAST don’t even descend from Ghana. It’s mainly from Senegal, Gambia, Congo, Mali, and Angola with pockets from Nigeria and GhanaIf the original occupants of Ghana didn't sell the Americans, Canadians and Caribbeans ancestors for literal bottles of wine, outdated guns and European styled hats maybe they wouldn't be in this situation to begin with

Lol because there are forced, if they started fukkin with them the military police will pull up at their door step
Man stop it. Might work for someone who hasn't been there but there is plenty of self-hate and "other" worship.
