The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) will be hitting the streets on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, following the ratification of the controversial US military base pact.
NUGS has encouraged students in the country to wear red when attending lectures, as it declares today (Monday) March 26, 2018, as a “Red Week Protest”.
The Defence Cooperation Agreement between Ghana and the US was on Friday 24, March approved by Parliament despite massive protests.
According to the NUGS, ‘The agreement is an arrant insult on the sovereignty and independence of the republic of Ghana. The agreement has the tendency of polarising the state and must be resisted by all Ghanaians with all our might in defending and upholding in high esteem the sovereignty of Ghana. The President, Cabinet, Council of State should as a matter of Urgency withdraw the agreement for reassessment and renegotiation of the deal’.
It said buses will be made available at strategic points to convey students and participants to the converging point at Obra spot, Accra.
The Leadership of the Union, Ghana First Patriots, Save Ghana movement and other participating groups will later send petitions to appropriate national and international bodies.
Part of the agreement says, ‘United States forces may undertake the following types of activities in Ghana: training; transit: support and related activities; refueling of aircraft; landing and recovery of aircraft, accommodation of personnel; communications; staging and deploying of forces and materiel: exercises; humanitarian and disaster relief; and other activities as mutually agreed’.
