But, Whose Fault? The AK-47 Found: Packing a Punch with its Ghanian True Story – Powerful New Book Puts Africa Centre Stage

By: Get News
Venting their frustration that many of the world’s most interesting and newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years yet receive little media attention around the globe; authors Amos and Fernanda Asemone share a firsthand account and the subsequent fallout of an incident at one of Ghana’s mining companies back in 2007, when two AK-47’s went missing.

UNITED KINGDOM - A must-read for all those with an interest in political science, Africa and those stories neglected by the world’s sensationalist media channels, But Whose Fault? The AK-47 Found has been written to highlight a Ghanian story that needs to be told to highlight the all too often unreported challenges the African continent faces.

Immersing readers in the whys and wherefores of a situation that happened at a mining company in Ghana in 2007, the authors’ recounting of a situation where two AK-47’s went missing makes for eye-opening reading on many levels.  Not least the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown towards the local people and their value to the world.

Bringing this important story to an interested and international audience, all those captivated by the ripple effects and upshot of this very African story will be eagerly awaiting other real-life exposés from these committed and erudite co-authors.

Synopsis:

Do you keep an eye on world events through mainstream media?  If so, chances are you have missed out on many essential news stories from countries around the world.

While many news outlets will cover European, U.K., and U.S. news in great detail, they often leave out essential news from other continents, especially Africa.

And yet, that doesn’t mean that newsworthy events occur there every day, just like in the UK.

In fact, some of the most newsworthy stories have occurred in Africa in recent years.

If you want to learn more about the conflicts of African communities, you have come to the right place.

Introducing, But, Whose Fault?  Part One, a true story based in Ghana, where two AK-47s mysteriously vanished before reappearing without ammunition.

Not only does this book shed light on an incident that is still to be answered to this day, but it also highlights one of the many conflicts that African communities go through and are never displayed on the big screen.

In many ways, the conflict surrounding the missing rifles is a point of convergence of the exploitation of Africa and the negligence shown toward the local people and their value to the world.

It is one of the main reasons it continues to go unnoticed in many countries, yet it is a story that must be told.

Inside, But, Whose Fault?  Part One, discover:

  • essential background information about the local people and community
  • the political context behind the events that unfolded
  • the initial factors that influenced the confrontation
  • the company behind the Nguvu mining project
  • the disappearance, search, and fallout from the missing rifles

About the authors in their own words:

The book is written by husband-and-wife team Amos and Fernader Asemone.

“My wife is the co-author, she’s from Portugal but lives in the United Kingdom. I started writing this story a little over 15 years ago.” Says Amos, “I was born in Nkroful, one of the communities the events that took place in 2007 occurred. At age 8, my family moved to settle in a nearby community, Anwia, the hotspot of the events that occurred. So basically, I was an eye-witness of all that happened. After few weeks when the dust settled, I started writing it down in my school notebook.

"It was my dream for these traumatising events to be brought on the big screens through books, movies and TV programs. I resumed, continued and completed the book with my wife when I went to the UK recently for holidays." When she read the uncompleted manuscript, she enjoyed it and felt like, ”This is a story everyone should read.”
