If you live in the Chicagoland area, I want you to turn on your television, pick up your remote control and surf channels 23, 28, 44 and 66. What, and more importantly, who do you see?

GHANA’S OPPOSITION AND HARASSMENT 

With the sharp decline of dissenting forces in Ghana, the opposition is now insulated in a small and antagonistic group, who even where tolerated within the narrow limits set by the society, are powerless while they keep within the limit.
