Professor Vladimir Antwi Danso, Dean of the Armed Forces Staff and Command College, has urged ECOWAS and the African Union to take specific measures to neutralize the activities of the LGBTQ+ communities.
Prof. Vladimir questioned the rationale behind the pressure being issued by some European diplomats.
Speaking on United Television's 'Mpu ne Mpu' programme, Prof. Antwi Danso asked, "Why should LGBTQ be a variable for the determination of our international relations? It is a corrupt pressure that all of us must oppose."
"We don’t tell them what to do, so why should they dictate to us what we should do as a sovereign state? ECOWAS and the African Union must rise up to oppose this action before it becomes too late."
"Why should someone come to dictate to us. We cannot all be Europeans, nor can we all be Africans. The specificities of our countries create the conditions for our choices. That is why the African Union and ECOWAS must stand firm to protect our culture."
He added that the LGBTQ+ community is specific to Western countries. How is it being pushed to be legalized in Ghana?
According to him, we must take a specific stand to neutralise the activities and demands of the LGBTQ+.
He further added that there is no international law that gives any country the right to dictate to another country how to govern itself.

Well said, almost all the European countries have ambassadors in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and Kuwait, they should mount the LGBTQ+ in the frontage of their embassies and urge the government of these Arab countries to accept LGBTQ+ activities in their various countries because it's a human right issue . Why the emphasis on Africa. But for the fact that Africa lacks the right quality of leadership this non sense will not be visited on us. What is Africa lacking in terms of natural resources for us to be dictated to by these European countries and America. The United States Vice President was in Ghana somewhere last year or so. She came with her husband ( a man) Why didn't she go for a lesbian partner as her husband but decided to go in for a man? Why are the political leaders of Europe and the America's not practicing what they preach? We say a big NO to LGBTQ+ in Ghana , we won't agree today, we won't agree tomorrow and we won't agree any other day. The world is a big place, if you can't settle somewhere, just look for another place where the people over there will agree to the sodom and Gomorrah ways of life. It's that simple. At times God is too patient with some of these non sense.
