One of the architects of the June 4 uprising, Major Boakye Djan, is calling for citizens of African countries to be armed as part of efforts to help the continent develop.
According to him, this approach has accounted for the development in most of the developed countries around the globe.
“Industrialisation and technology all thrive on militarisation and that is why Britain and other developed countries have part-time armies aside the formal ones with each community having a unit,” he said.
