Unveiling the truth

Most blogs about Ghana stay safe, but we don’t. We talk about what’s actually happening on the ground—how these laws get passed, how they’re enforced, and how they impact real people. We cover current events, break things down clearly, and highlight how people are fighting back against these fascist laws.

What's Happening

According to Reporters Without Borders, many journalists in Ghana have been attacked, arrested, or intimidated for criticizing the government, and many independent radios have been frequently shut down for broadcasting personal views. The organization ranked Ghana lower on the World Press Freedom Index.

This pattern of silencing opposing voices mirrors one of the main features of fascism - The desire to maintain unity and control by limiting public opinions. Instead of protecting democratic debate and transparency, Ghana’s government has used legal and police powers to discourage challenges to authority

Few of us actually grasp how these laws affect everything from a person's mental health to their ability to acquire a job, or even to simply take a walk in the neighborhood without living in terror. The entire society is essentially told that some groups should be treated with less respect and protection when the state criminalizes someone's presence. The word travels, and fast, and it fosters a culture of dread and quiet. That's why this blog exists: to highlight the genuine human impact behind these political choices.

More Impacts

Another layer of this issue is that of media suppression. You cannot have a functioning democracy without a free press because it is the job of journalists to expose malfeasance, question leaders, and draw attention to things the government would rather hide. It's when journalists face intimidation for writing the truth that's where the public stops getting information. And when radio stations get shut down for allowing conversations the government finds "uncomfortable," the country loses a space where citizens can freely express opinions. That is why many scholars refer to such patterns as fascist-like behaviors. Fascism does not always arrive all at once, and with a full dictatorship that follows.

Sometimes it comes up slowly: through legislation that targets minority groups, through crackdowns on the press, through leaders that urge citizens to report one another, or through politics of fear. A government has already taken a risky step away from democratic ideals when citizens are no longer comfortable expressing themselves freely.

However, it's just as important to remember that a large number of Ghanaians have voiced major objections to these regulations. Activists, journalists, attorneys, and ordinary people continue to expose corruption, defend LGBTQ+ persons, and demand more openness. Additionally, they continue to advocate for equality and justice despite attempts by governments to quiet them
