What you just heard from Ghana’s President, John Mahama, should not really be a surprise. History is replete with accounts of coups and assasination attempts supported and orchestrated by the United States across the world. In its quest for dominance and protecting its interests, the US has not failed to use every means at its disposal, even removing leaders it considers a threat to its interests. The first Prime Minister and later President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah, was one such threat that was eventually removed from power in a coup. But how and why did it happen? Let’s find out.

During the 68th Independence Day celebrations in Ghana, the new President of Ghana, President Dramani gave a magnificent speech, highlighting the country’s struggle against colonialism and neo-colonialism.

He described the February 24, 1966, coup that toppled Nkrumah as “the most regrettable and darkest moment in our nation’s history”.
