THE
FIGHT BETWEEN THE AKAN AND EWE TRIBE OF
GHANA
The rivalry
between the EWES and ASHANTIS is purely Political.. there is no ancient story
or history that says that there was a war between this 2 tribes . it is our own
politicians who created this rivalry for
their own NPP/NDC Political gains.
THE CAUSE :
The Akans see Ex-President Jerry John Rawlings as Hitler of Ghana
because he killed Akans during the coup d’état . According to the Ex-President
, that was the order of the day everybody suspected to be ‘’power drunk ‘’ was
suppose to be killed to prevent another
fresh coup d’état . To correct those mistakes the Ex-President decided
to use the JUNE 4th as a day
to render apology to the affected families.
NB: he did
not kill only akans and Other akan rulers have also killed other tribe members
and vice-versa
THE EFFECT:
·
This
rivalry has extended to homes and offices : thus people treat their own better
than others in terms positions, employment and accommodation
·
These
Akans keep Rejecting or disowning
children who want-to or are married to Ewes and Vice-Versa
·
The
Ewes keep voting for the NDC regardless of who is standing and Vice-Versa
·
The
Akans Supports NPP policies whether good
or bad and Vice-Versa
There is too
much hatred within us as Ghanaians.This are the reasons why we are where we are
today. Nobody questions his brother/sister
when he/she is going way-ward provided
he is getting “ noko fio’’ from him/her.
These
political parties would continue to have strong holds but lets take hatred out of it just like kotoko
and hearts.. We can argue and debate but let it end there.
‘’MAY THE LORD BE WITH US ALL ’’….
AMEN
Really good article.
