Founder and Leader of the United Front Party (UFP), Nana Agyenim Boateng, popularly known as Gyataba, has condemned the recent clash between some youth and military personnel at the AngloGold Ashanti mining site in Obuasi.
Speaking in an interview on Oyerepa TV on January 22, 2025, he criticized the behaviour of the youth involved, describing their actions as "resembling terrorists prepared to face the military." "The actions of the youth in Obuasi were extraordinary and reckless.
They behaved like terrorists, ready to confront armed military personnel without fear.
This kind of approach only escalates tensions and invites the unfortunate outcomes we are now grappling with." He called for community leaders to take a more active role in guiding the youth toward peaceful and constructive ways of addressing grievances.
