Anti Witchcraft Bill

Peace at last, I am peaceful, oh how I long to see peace in my life, Will there ever be peace?, I am a peace maker, let peace rule etc, yes all the above are statements that you have heard before I guess! 

As humans it's by nature we all can only do well or flourish where there is Peace ✌️, these starts from peaceable family members, community state of peace and the country as a whole. However, when raising concerns about Peace we turn to focus on one aspect of Peace " the state of tranquility or quiet such as a freedom from civil disturbances " and we ignore the rest maybe because we see them as minor issues.

I think peace is relative and one should not underestimate or undermined what is not peaceable to another party. Why ? Because peace can only exist if all it's over wings are identified and implemented apart from the above reason that we only highlight. These other aspects of peace, state of security or order within a community provided for by law or custom such as a breach of the peace and a freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions such as contentment, also living in harmony in personal relations such as sisters at peace with each other. 

Imagine waking up in a country where there is no war but you are scare as an individual coming out of your home or house. You are emotionally traumatized because of community discrimination and accusations that are labeled at you innocently. Living in harmony with one another is lacking, where innocent and intelligence and old age is victimized. In such countries peace is relative.

Complete peace is devoid of discrimination, accusations, name labeling, and is a civic rights, it's the freedom to to relate to one another.

What am I driving at? The components of full and real peace, in other words the components of complete and perfect peace must comprising of the above three or more elements just to mentioned few. 

I don't know if some of you sister's can remember? Somewhere in the year June 2019, I join change.org with a strong petition to the president of Ghana HE Nana Akuffo Addo Darkwah regarding an abolishing of a supposed witches camp at located in the north eastern part of Ghana in a town called Gambaga. This came after an innocent 90 year old woman was lenched to death on the accusations of her been a witch? I got infuriated and and hence the petition was the outcome. Please here is the link to the above story

You all sisters are a Hallmark to this petition, I mean all came on board signing and sharing to help me reach the targeted number of signatures, Tamarack Verall, Jill Langus and the many more acted as pioneers to this my above petition and a very big thank you to all who made this a success.

These women were denied of their freedom, can you imagine if you find yourself in this state? After the service you gave to your community at your youthful age and when you age, you be labeled as a witch because of your experience. Imagine the very kids tenderly cared and protected pointing fingers at you as a witch at your old age.

These women never had Peace since the day of their accusations, you get excluded trying to intergrade yourself, I mean constantly you are looked down upon. What peace can such a person have?

If you look at the other fore elements of peace, to complete a peaceful state, Ghana we might not be at war, but then again we can't parade ourselves as a Peaceful Nation when all these discrimination are in our communities, stated above peace is relative and until all needs are met Peace can't be defined holistically. 

Today, change indeed have come to Ghana, as I write you today it's with a broad face of smiles. Exactly, two weeks ago the government of Ghana through it legislative body the members of Parliament have passed a bill of anti witchcraft 

Huraayy✌🏾👌🏽❤️🙌🏾. This bill upon its implementation will see it that no innocent people especially Women will be accused as witches and or witch doctors etc . Kindly read more about this in the following link

Oooh how timely are the feet of women who spread his words. 

Today, even though the camps are still in existence, there are in their latter death stages as we have received this anti witchcraft bill. At least freedom and respect will be accorded back to these innocent souls.

Imagine a victim waking up to be reunited by the families, what a joy it will be to be accepted back into society by the same old people who refused you. The regret on their faces, the outcome of their wickedness and bad deeds to caught up with them. I mean it will be Peace both inside and outward.

This was what we all were seeking when you lovely sisters all over the globe came on board to help me spread the word through this amazing platform. We have finally gotten this wonderful outcome, I am very grateful. Please for those of us who never got the opportunity to sign please let's click the link and continue to sign this heart breaking petition, doing so not for us only but laying a great foundation for our future generations.

We must all say a very big no to any form of discrimination especially if it got to do with our inner peace.

In conclusion, to have complete peace and live in harmony with one another all components or elements of peace must be incorporated in the implementation of true and sure complete Peace. Ghana maybe seen as a Peaceful Nation but in it's relative terms we are still learning on the path of peace and we all must play our roles to effect this change call Peace and may God the initiated and giver of Peace rule in our seek for Peace.
