On The Allegation of Killings of Ghanaians
In The Gambia
Transparency Essential!
Since we are yet to get the reaction of the Gambia Government on the allegation of mass killings of Ghanaians by Gambian security forces, there is little one can say at this stage.
Needless to say, the allegation is serious and requires serious attention, especially, given the number of persons alleged to have been killed. In our opinion, simple denial of the statement would not suffice. When one’s hands are clean transparency helps to clear him/her of wrong doing. A spokesperson for the Ghanaian ministry of foreign affairs has indicated that an international investigative committee under the auspices of the UN and ECOWAS has been established to independently investigate the allegation. One would expect that cooperation with such a committee to clear one’s name is the wisest thing to do under the circumstance.
Furthermore, keeping quiet solves no problem. Making a clear statement on the position of the government on the matter is essential.
