Ga Dangbe Youth Rally in Accra, Condemn Violence Against Palestinians



Hundreds of Ga Dangbe youth and community members took to the streets of Accra on October 26, 2024, in a large-scale demonstration to voice solidarity with Palestinians affected by ongoing violence in Gaza. Joined by the Palestinian Ambassador to Ghana and Dean of the Arab Diplomatic Mission, Mr. Abdalfatah Ahmed Khalil Alsatarri, the group marched from James Town through the heart of Accra, concluding their protest at Mantse Agbonaa. The demonstrators, carrying placards and chanting for peace, decried what they described as acts of genocide committed against Palestinians by Israel.


Nii Afrah Yemo, a member of the Ga Dangbe Youth group, shared his thoughts with Newsflashafrica.com, expressing that violence anywhere is a concern for people everywhere. "What happens in Palestine matters to us here in Ghana," he said, emphasizing the global responsibility to condemn what he sees as an unjust killing of civilians in Gaza.


Ambassador Alsatarri, visibly moved by the outpouring of support, addressed the gathering with a call for international intervention. He condemned the bombings in Gaza as “war crimes against humanity,” highlighting the devastating toll on Palestinian civilians. According to the Ambassador, recent bombings have caused staggering casualties, with over 42,000 Palestinians, including 15,000 women, killed within the past year. He recounted a recent airstrike that targeted a hospital, killing 20 women, which he described as a heartbreaking example of the ongoing atrocities.


The Ambassador urged the international community to stand with Palestine, stressing that support for Palestinians is synonymous with the pursuit of justice and humanity. He expressed gratitude to the Ghanaian youth, stating, "Your solidarity today reinforces the global call for peace and freedom for the people of Palestine.”

Royal Jamong Family Raises Alarm Over Alleged Political Interference in Bunkpurugu Chieftaincy Dispute

Image
The Royal Jamong Family of Bunkpurugu has expressed deep concern over what it describes as political interference by Vice President Dr. Mahamud Bawumia and the NPP parliamentary candidate for Bunkpurugu, Mr. Solomon N. Boar, in the ongoing chieftaincy dispute surrounding the Bunkpurugu skin. In a strongly-worded statement, the family accused the two politicians of exerting undue pressure on the National House of Chiefs, a move that they believe undermines the integrity of the chieftaincy institution. The family pointed to recent comments made by Abuba, who claimed that his uncle, Vice President Bawumia, had promised to ensure that a pending judgment in the chieftaincy case would be delayed indefinitely. This, the Royal Jamong Family warned, is a "sad development and a recipe for disaster." The family has also documented Mr. Boar's activities, including a recent trip to Accra with Abuba to meet the Vice President. This has led the family to question the motivations behind ...

Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Calls for Unity After Court Victory

The African Faith Tabernacle Church has emerged victorious in a protracted legal battle over its leadership. Superior Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah, the successor of the late Superior Prophet David Nkansah II and head of the church worldwide, addressed a press conference to announce the landmark ruling by the Adenta High Court. The conflict began nearly three years ago when Prophet Michael Opoku Nkansah was appointed as the church’s Superior Prophet following the passing of his predecessor. His appointment, in accordance with the church’s constitution, was challenged by a faction within the church who opposed his installation. This group filed a series of legal actions, including an application to restrain him from performing his duties and a contempt motion against him and eight other chief pastors. In a decisive ruling on January 17, 2024, the Adenta High Court dismissed both the injunction and the contempt application. The case reached its climax on December 10, 2024, when the court...

Physician Assistant Accuses Tema Court of Bias, Issues Ultimatum Over Child Custody Battle

Image
Dr. Nathaniel Acolatse, a Deputy Chief Physician Assistant at Ga West Municipal Hospital, is challenging the Tema TDC Court to make public the court order his former wife, Maria Fianyo, claimed to have received. According to Maria, the judge at the Tema TDC Court instructed her to take custody of their children and warned her not to allow Dr. Acolatse any access to them. Dr. Acolatse questions the legitimacy of this order and dares the court to release the unedited Social Enquiry Report. "I challenge the Tema TDC Court to make public the supposed court order Maria Fianyo claims to have received, instructing her to take the children and barring me from seeing them," Dr. Acolatse stated. "I also demand that the court release the full, unedited Social Enquiry Report. The issue revolves around a decent apartment where my children were happily staying versus an uncompleted building where Maria was residing—a choice that the Tema TDC Court inexplicably preferred." Dr. Aco...
