General Ankrah followed, and what he did was expected: he echoed all the policies of the IMF and World Bank. Ghana, under him, expelled Chinese and Soviet friends; then came the privatisation of state-owned enterprises and the burial of Nkrumah's Pan-Africanist ideas, the threat to the West.
This, of course, brought a deserved decline and poverty upon Ghanaians. This is not a rare case; it is the same with Nigeria after the suspicious, sudden death of General Sani Abacha.
No anti-West, anti-IMF leader is ever left alone. The democratic leader remains "democratic" only as long as the country isn't on the path of development; this holds even if power was seized militarily from a democratically elected president. What matters is the delivery of resources, Western economics stuck to even as the people remain poor and every infrastructure collapses.
