Ghana’s 1966 Coup | The Fall of Kwame Nkrumah (Operation Cold Chop)
On 24 February 1966, Ghana's military and police launched a coup that removed President Kwame Nkrumah from power while he was on a diplomatic mission to Asia. The operation, known as "Operation Cold Chop," was carried out with little resistance and brought an end to Nkrumah's increasingly centralised one-party rule. The new regime, known as the National Liberation Council, suspended the constitution, dissolved parliament, and banned the ruling Convention People's Party. Nkrumah, who remained in exile, denounced the coup as an imperialist plot, while his opponents celebrated what they saw as the restoration of political freedom. ITN's Sandy Gall followed the coup on the ground. #coldwar #coup #Ghana #kwamenkrumah #history #itnarchive #marxist To license the footage featured in this clip, follow the link below: https://www.gettyimages.com/search/2/...
