In an upcoming exposé, we will delve into the complex reasons behind the breakup of community organizations in the diaspora, focusing on the Ewe Association of Metropolitan Chicago. This case study sheds light on the underlying issues that often lead to tensions, confrontations and breakup of such groups.
Key Factors Leading to Breakups:
Financial Mismanagement: Misallocation and misuse of funds can erode trust and create significant rifts within organizations.
Leadership Struggles: Power struggles and conflicts over leadership roles often lead to factions and internal discord.
Administrative Challenges: Inefficiencies and poor management practices can hinder the smooth operation of organizations.
Chieftaincy and Queen Roles: Disputes over traditional roles and titles can create divisions and power imbalances.
Our investigation includes audio recordings and testimonies from members of the Ewe Association, revealing a push towards autocratic governance where individual voices are suppressed. Members describe a scenario reminiscent of a fiefdom, with former queens clinging to power and refusing to step down, further exacerbating tensions.
Stay tuned for an in-depth analysis and firsthand accounts that highlight the challenges faced by diaspora organizations and the lessons that can be learned to foster unity and effective governance.
