Kwesi Armah
Kwesi Armah (21 September 1929〔"Armah, Kwesi", ''Africa Year Book and Who's Who 1977'', London: Africa Journal Limited, 1976, p. 1063.〕 – 24 November 2006)〔 was a Ghanaian politician and diplomat. He was the High Commissioner (Ambassador) to the Court of St. James in London, England, and the Minister of Foreign Trade in the administration of Kwame Nkrumah before the military coup of 1966. He later served in the Council of State in the government of John Kufuor.〔("Council Of State" ). Ghanadistricts.com〕
== Role in the Vietnam war ==
While he was High Commissioner, Armah led a delegation of diplomats sent by Nkrumah to Vietnam in 1965 to establish ties to the government in Hanoi following the rejection of a Commonwealth Peace Mission proposed earlier that year. That mission ended with President Ho Chi Minh personally thanking the delegation and Nkrumah for their concern, but still rejected the proposed mission as an American-driven "negotiated settlement" that was "fraudulent and sinister".〔
Despite this rejection, Nkrumah was determined to play a part in the conflict, and in February 1966 led another delegation with Armah to Vietnam.〔 During this mission, however, military forces within Ghana instigated a coup d'état while the leaders were away.〔("March 12—19, 1966: Dr. Nkrumah's Promise to return to Ghana as Head of State. - Appointment as Head of State of Guinea" ), Keesing's Contemporary Archives, p. 21275.〕 Armah was effectively exiled from Ghana, while his family was targeted by military forces and placed under house arrest. Armah was also targeted for extradition to Ghana on his return to London, ostensibly for misappropriation of £30,000 of government funds. Home Secretary for the United Kingdom Roy Jenkins determined that the charges were brought by Ghana for political crimes, and thus chose to decline the extradition request under the Fugitive Offenders Act. Although freed, he was tried at the Old Bailey and subsequently acquitted. Armah was separated from his family for two years, when they too were released from house arrest and allowed to return to their home in England.
