A row between a prominent journalist and a king has captivated many in Ghana.
It began when Afia Pokua criticised the Ashantihene's handling of tensions with other ethnic groups, and the deference that politicians show him, and expressed her frustration about the apparent supremacy of the Asante community. "Even the president...
bowed to show respect to the chief," Ms Pokua said in an interview with Mona Gucci earlier this month on local channel Onua TV. "Asante is not the whole of Ghana.
If you are only thinking about Asante, they can amend the laws so that you can separate yourself from the rest of the country." The comments were not well received by the traditional ruler.
