Our war is against Hamas for brutally attacking us – Israeli Ambassador to Ghana

Ghana News, World News
The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Shlomit Sufa, has indicated that Israel's conflict is squarely with Hamas, a terrorist organisation in Gaza.

Our war is not with the civilian population, our war is not with the Palestinians, our war is not against Muslims, and our war is against a terror entity that has brutally and savagely killed whomever they could find along the way on October 7,"...

The Sanitation and Water Resources Minister, Freda Prempeh has blamed victims of the floods induced by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam for not heeding early warnings by the Volta River Authority and other state agencies to evacuate.

Collapse Cocobod; allow farmers to sell directly to buyers – President of Cocoa farmers Assoc.

Ghana News
The President of the Concerned Cocoa Farmers Association, Nana Boateng Bonsu, has called for the dissolution of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD). According to him, the time is ripe for cocoa farmers to sell their produce directly to buyers since Cocobod has failed in its duties in the interest of Ghanaian cocoa farmers. Mr Bonsu in an interview on JoyNews’ PM Express on Monday indicated that the government-controlled institution that fixes the buying price for cocoa in the country is inefficient, thus, farmers should be set free. “If they know Cocobod has collapsed, we should know so that cocoa farmers can sell their products directly to the buyer to make our money rather than relying on the government because the government has nothing better to offer the farmers,” he sa...

Elon Musk has said his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, will launch two new tiers of premium subscriptions.
