    Major Ampofo is a great man. He has a good heart. I went to church with his kids. They were so lovely. His wife was very welcoming to everybody, she called everybody meba (my child). They are all very beautiful people honestly. Wow Major was always nice to everybody. Simply an amazing man. He is looking good. Wow 🫡🙏🏿

Also, I think one of the men who escaped Rawlings's execution is still alive,...find him and interview him before it's too late. Hurry up, go and find him and interview him for us.

Was he captured from his Dansoman hideout, and put in detention??? Good interview, I enjoyed it. Thumbs up to the interviewer 👍🏿

    U need to educate yourself more on these things. Rawlings himself said they had planned on killing about 200ppl. The number was reduced to 80 military ppl and they had to kill only the senior officers to appease the revolution cos killing all the 80 would resulted in the execution being seen as having an ethnic or tribal element to it. So unfortunately senior officers had to be executed. Some of them were innocent but that was the price to pay. ​@@davidversejourney

    The interviewer needs to do a lot more reading of the history of Ghana. He picked a good person to interview but it’s very clear that he lacks depth regarding the political history of Ghana thus he hardly ever comes up with follow up questions. His host is very well learned insightful and dominates the conversation whilst the interviewer barely seems to know the bearing of the entire conversation.

    Why not! It's a winner, take all. I was on vacation in Accra in 1978 with my first girlfriend, who was a student in Paris. She invited me to see her parents and spend that summer in West Africa. I was not at all surprised about what happened in 1979. The destitution on the face of those proud Ghanaian will hunt me for the rest of my life. This was the black star of Africa, Ghana, the country that sponsored Guinea independence in 1958. My girlfriend mother could not even find ingredients for a small birthday cake. Nothing justified what happened in the mass killing of seniors officers and civilians alike. La vie au Ghana à cette époque était extrêmement difficile et compliquée. La colère complètement compréhensible.

    There's a misconception out there that Gen. Acheampong is one of the terrible leaders Ghana has ever had; personally I disagree. That man did a lot. Major Ampofo is a great man. You had a great opportunity to ask him more daring ques. How and why he thinks Nkrumah was overthrown, why Gen Ankrah/Busia etc gov's were kicked out, how Gen Acheampong and his team planned their coup, developments Acheampong did, why Acheampong become unpopular at a point etc etc... That is a historian right there. Try to improve on your interviewing skills... Anyway, keep up the good work. 👏

    Because the coup plotters felt they would kill them if they let them live. Besides, they were junior officers. Per Boakye Djan, reason for the coup was to remove military from civilian rule and as you may know it is illegal for anyone to ochestrate a coup to remove a civilian government. Per Boakye Djan since they executed Afrifa and Acheampong, Rawlings should have met the same fate for removing Limann. Plz note i do not side with Boakye Djan
