The Obama led admnistration has decided to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
after achieving its long-held goal
of reducing the remaining population to fewer than 100 detainees. With the
expedited release this month of 14 detainees, the total now stands at 93.
This has led to the release of the some of the prisoners to various countries in the world.
The Obama administration has deceived
recipient countries about the threats posed by the jihadists they’ve accepted.
And President Obama has repeatedly misled the American people about Guantanamo,
the detainees held there, and the consequences of releasing them
So this is how come Ghana government welcomed 2 of the detainees to the country on Jan 6
Mahmmoud Omar Mohammed Bin Atef was
transferred to Ghana, along with another detainee named Khalid Mohammed Salih
al Dhuby
The two as described by government to be of no risk isnt true.
Their risk were leaked in Wikileaks 2008The JTF-GTMO threat assessments of
760 Guantanamo detainees.
Mr. Atef, is a cause for concern. Long before his transfer, the intelligence analysts at Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) assessed him as a “high risk” and “likely to pose a threat to the US, its interests and allies.” (The JTF-GTMO threat assessments of 760 Guantanamo detainees, many written in 2008, were posted online in 2011 by WikiLeaks.) It is easy to understand the analysts’ worry about Mr. Atef. He was, they said, “a fighter in Usama bin Laden’s former 55th Arab Brigade and is an admitted member of the Taliban.” He trained at al Farouq, the infamous al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, “participated in hostilities against US and Coalition forces, and continues to demonstrate his support of UBL and extremism.”
Why then did Ghana Government accept these two? According to
Jojo Bruce-Quansah, the information
minister at Ghana’s embassy in Washington, D.C., told us that the U.S.
government provided assurances that Mr. Atef was “never involved in terrorism”
and presented little risk. “If that assurance was not there,” he said, there is
“no way” his government “would have taken the detainees
it looks like Obama is decieving countries to take these detainees who are of high risks?
