Answer Details

The statement above refers to Koomson's disgust with the ''whitemen'' who are apes. The narrator is describing Koomson's reaction to the politics of betrayal that he sees around him. He believes that those in positions of power, whether they are "whitemen" or "Party men," are corrupt and care only about their own interests, rather than the needs of the people they are supposed to serve. Koomson sees these people as no different from apes, who act on their base instincts without regard for others. Thus, the statement highlights Koomson's disillusionment and frustration with the state of society around him.
