The the media and political leaders perpetuate

Ghana as a country can learn a huge lesson from the Rwandan genocide which was between two major tribes, the Hutus and the Tutsis; the civil war was highly inflamed by one particular radio station. A research by Allan Thompson (2007) revealed that the voice of Hutu Power was the private radio station RTLM, established by extremists who surrounded the president. And RTLM was an echo of other extremist media, notably the newspaper Kangura. Once the president’s plane was shot down by unknown assailants, the message from RTLM was unmistakable: the Tutsi were to blame; they were the enemy and Rwanda would be better off without them. The killings began almost immediately in Kigali through the night of 6–7 April. Hutu moderates, who were willing to share power, were among the first targeted, along with Tutsi marked for extermination in a campaign that eventually fanned out across the country. Many of the hundreds of thousands of Rwandans who were slaughtered had huddled in churches for sanctuary.

Death squads lobbed in grenades. In their frenzy, killers severed the Achilles tendons on the heels of their victims, so they could return and finish the job later. Teachers killed students, neighbors slaughtered neighbors as local officials helped organize the killing. Ghana has enjoyed peace in the West African sub-region for decades and if it does not want to repeat the mistakes of other African countries, then it must desist from such indecent activities.
